BFN - But could it be too early?

**hj1981** · September 24th, 2007, 04:16 PM

I did a HPT yesterday and it came up with a BFN - but AF only arrived on the 30th august - no idea when im due cause i have not long had a MC - could by some slight chance be PG and i have just tested to early or is a BFN a BFN???

It could be too early. I would give it a a few days and then test again with your FMU.

Good luck.

I'd say it's too early.

A BFN is never a BFN until your period shows up

I agree could well be too early and I wouldn't count yourself out yet...good luck

I agree - too early if your AF only arrived on 30 August - you'd only be CD26. HPTs are not all the accurate until after AF is due - only about 69% accurate 4-5 days before AF -so always best to wait until your are late. How long are your cycles normally?

False BFNs are more common than false BFPs - so there is hope. Good luck

Ticklish - before my MC my cycles were about 30-33days - hadnt really got into a routine from when i came off the pill last october - so do you still think there is a chance?
My DH and i BD CD 3, 7, 10, 12, 17 and i think it was CD20!

Hi HJ1981,

If your cycles are about 30 - 33 days, leave it at least until next Monday to test if AF hasn't arrived because then you will be CD33. The luteal phase can be about 11 to 16 days, average is 14 - so going by your dates, yep - there is a chance. Do you have any signs that you O'd?

I did another test this morning and still a BFN - no dont think i had signs of Ovulating - im still trying to work that bit out - however one day i did have egg whitish discharge (sorry yucky i know) cant remember what that day was tho! What is the luteal stage? sorry but im very naive to all this stuff!

i guess i will wait until monday to do another test - i dont like my chances tho! however im getting very tired of an afternoon and its early to bed for me of a night time - which that was what i was like in my last pregnancy!
sorry for all the questions!

Hi HJ1981,

The luteal phase is the second phase of your cycle, the one after O. The first stage, leading up to O, is called the follicular stage. The follicular phase varies the most in length from woman to woman, whereas the luteal phase is more consistent.

I highly recommend getting acquainted with your cycle. CM is wonderful stuff. EWCM is a good sign but take note of the days next time. After all it is the timing that is all important.

This site is great for learning all this stuff! Just ask if you have any more questions.

Good luck.

hj1981-

Hi, we are in the same boat. I tested yesterday BFN but it was too early AF is due Thursday. I also mc at the end of July and Had my last AF on Aug 30.

**hj1981** · September 26th, 2007, 01:09 PM

Ticklish - i will def keep track of my cycle - just wish i had of started it this mth so if im not PG this mth than hopefully i can be next mth - i dont feel like AF is going to arrive but i just know my luck - and when it comes to me i can be pretty negative which i know dosent help - and apparently stressing and worrying can prevent AF from arriving - so i guess i better start learning to chill!!!!

Jayney - Thats right - we are in the same boat arnt we! - do you have any signs that you might be PG? im getting tired pretty early on in the day but thats about it! Is your AF due this thursday? when are you doing another test? im going to wait until monday! hopefully i will get a BFP - i have one more test left in the pack so maybe 3rd time lucky! hehe - i tested with the HPT called "forelife" its 3 for like $8 pretty cheep so maybe they arent the best to test with - however it said you could test 5-7 days before AF!
Anyways my fingers are crossed for you as well! let me know how you go!

**Jayney** · September 26th, 2007, 04:06 PM

Wow 5-7 days we don't have any on our shelves that say that or I would buy them
The cheapest ones I could find were $16 (can) for two. I wasted one too early but I think I will test tomorrow with FMU so

for me.

My boobs are quite sore and fuller so maybe. My only thought is even if I am the miscarriage risks worries me more so now after hearing that my estrogen levels are high.

**Jayney** · September 27th, 2007, 12:14 AM

I got a BFP. Now the real praying begins!

Good luck I hope you join me I have a 28 day cycle so you should test in a few days.

**hj1981** · September 27th, 2007, 06:30 AM
