AF due yesterday

Well my AF was due yesterday. I took a first response early test this morning and it was clearly negative. I'm never late on my AF, they are always on time or a day early but never late. I have very regular cylces and this really confuses. Any suggestion please.

Hi

Have you had any symptoms? Have you been charting? How are your temps?

From what i have been reading, many don't show for a while after AF due, so probably test in another couple of days!

Baby dust to you!

No I don't do any charting or taking temps or anything like that. the only thing that I've done is do an ovlation calculator to tell me when my fertile days are. Then I make sure we have sex at least once a day for about a week or so during that time. My LMP was July 25th and I'm reglar 28 days. The only thing I've noticed is on Aug 16th there was brownish discharge and on the 20th a little bit of blood when I went to the bathroom, but nothing since then, and that's never happened before in between AF's. The only thing that I've been feeling is like some tightening or pulling or something in my lower abs. I've noticed that my breasts look a little bigger but not really tender or anything. With my first I never had any symptoms throughout my whole pregnancy. My second, the only symptom I had was all day sickness, but that didn't kick in until about 6 weeks. For both I took a test before my AF and they were BNP. But now I'm 2 days late and still nothing. Like I said I'm never late and I'm always regular so I don't know whats going on.

It sounds really promising for you that you might be PG! I have also read that some women actually won't get a BFP until up to a week after their expected AF. Did you use first morning urine because that will make a difference this early. Did you just recently get off Birth Control? I'm just asking because I am also always regular and on time and since I've gotten off birth control for the first time ever I'm not regular! Good luck, baby dust to you and keep us POSTED!

I've never used birth control or anything, so I know it's not anything affecting me as far as that goes. It's 2 days past my AF I just assumed that I should have a BFP by now. Yes I did the test as soon as I woke up this morning and it was completely negative. But I took another one 2 days before and it have a very very faint line, so I don't know, I'm puzzled. They were different test. The one I took 2 days before was the "Answer" were you can test 3 days earlier. The one I took this morning was "First Response Early" were you can test 4 days early, so I don't know. I want to take another one in the morning but I don't know if that's too early.

Hi again!

Your symptoms sound exactly like mine. Who knows when the best time to retest is...could be that one more day is enough to build enough HCG to show. But it can be disappointing, as we all know...Maybe wait a few days??

It all sounds right, though, so good luck to you!

Here's hoping for a ++++!
