Ready to cry.... need advice please

Please, if never before, I need some positive advice. I am 12 DPO. After DH and I BD I had some pink mixed in with CM, that was on Sept. 20th. This morning, the same thing happened. After I wipe those couple of times it is totally gone. My boobs are incredibly sore and I am due for AF tomorrow. I ovulated on Sept 10. We BD on Sept. 1,2,4,6,7,10,12,16,20 and 22nd. I thought we covered all the bases but I keep getting a BFN with FRE. Someone please help me figure out what is wrong with me. My last pregnancy was concieved while using BCP... Now I cant get pregnant using nothing.... I feel terrible....

Hi, I am in the same boat as you are. We ovulated the same day, and I feel very pregnant, but can not get a BFP all I get is a BFN!! I really am starting to think I am crazy. I did want to tell you my girlfriend used FRE and she never got a positive result, they ended up going to the dr when she was 3 weeks late. I am hoping that it is too early to test even though we are 12dpo, and will eventually get a BFP!! I plan to wait until Friday to test again, then I will be two days late. Good luck to you!!

Please don't cry! I am in the same boat as you but this will be my first child. You could very well be pregnant but the best thing to do is not test to early. Test on the day your period is due and if it is negative, wait three days and do it again. If still nothing, then make an appointment with the doctor for a blood test. Good luck!

Ladies don't worry. Sometimes it can take up to a week after AF is due for the test to show a positive. Some of the pink you see may be implantation bleeding, where the fertilized egg attaches to the endometrium. Wait one day after your period if it is negative wait another 3-5 days. If you still don't have a positive and no signs of AF contact your physician for a blood test to check your HCG levels. A woman who ovulates that is not pregnant and all men have HCG levels below 5 and post-menopause women will have HCG levels under 11.

You will be fine, keep positive, that is the best thing you can do for yourself and the fetus. In the meantime avoid, caffine, extra stress, smoking, drinking and be sure to exercise in moderation and eat healthy...you don't have to eat for 2 but eat 3 servings of protein a day and all the fruits and veggies your supposed to and definitely take your prenatal vitamins. (If you get the BFP you can eat about 300 calories more than you usually do and that should support the baby just fine...unless otherwise suggested by your doctor.)

I would suggest a book - What to Expect When your Expecting - It has helped me through a lot of hard times this year and in understanding how the body works and everything to deal with pregnancy. Worthwhile purchase! Your DH could also learn a lot from it. We are trying for our first and my DH has learned a lot from this book but also my OB.

I did ovulate the same time as you and hopefully we will be sporting early June babies.

Good Luck to all!

Thank you to all who replied. I have made it to today which AF is due but hasnt come. If nothing shows by morning, I will reluctantly test again. Good luck and praying for BFP for you all!

Hello all, I just have a question for all of you who ovulated around the same time. When was your LMP. I'm asking because mine was Aug. 18 and still no AF. I'm hoping the 2 negatives i got were because i tested too early. I don't feel any bb soreness. I do feel slight cramping is if AF were coming and light-headedness. I'm very irregular with my period so i'm just hoping for a +. Good luck to all.

Hey Ladies,

Just a quick note that might help... First of all, I'm 5 months PG, and I had no symptoms at all, no BB soreness, no nausea, only slight cramps, like AF was around the corner, but that was all. My sister in law was 15 days LATE before a positive result (she took 2 that were negative before the positive one) So, unless AF shows up, don't lose hope, try to stay clam as possible and treat yourself well. BABY DUST to you all!!!

My story is similar to yours. My LMP was Aug. 16 and I too do not have AF. I have gotten 3 BFN's, one done yesterday afternoon. No bb soreness here either but definitly cramping which could mean one of two things - PG or AF. Hopefully PG!!! My period too is irregular since going off the pill in March. However it has never been this late. I have another question for whoever can answer - Have you or anyone you know had several BFN's even after their AF was due but was indeed PG? Two of the tests I took were the FRE. I am thinking I should try another one. I plan on going for a bloodtest on Thurs if AF does not come!

My sister-in-law was 15 days late before she got a positive result, so unless you get AF, think positive thoughts!!! BABY DUST to you!

I actually don't know anyone who's had that happen, but I read on another message that they didn't find out until 3 weeks late. I just keep hoping that i tested too early, so what i'm doing is not getting my hopes up and waiting til friday or saturday before i test again. Don't take any more HPTs just go for the blood work on thursday. Good luck!!
