I tested again this morning and nothing I used one of the first response tests which are supposed to be accurate up to 4 days before the missed period. Today was 3 days before so I'm starting to think this month is a lost cause

I dont get it! I have so many symptoms. Sore swollen breasts, super tired all the time, breakouts all over, nausea, and brown spotting which I thought was implantation bleeding. These are all very not normal things for me! My cycles are like clockwork and I never have spotting in between! My breasts are never sore until about 3 days before my period and the other symptoms aren't normal either!

Since I have all these symptoms wouldn't I be getting BFP? Is it even possible to have these symptoms (especially the spotting, that CANT be in my head) and then get a BFN? I know it's still 3 days before my period is due but I cant help thinking that I've failed this month How is it even possible for me to have symptoms like this and not get a BFP? Doesn't the embryo start giving off the pregnancy hormone right after it implants? (which I think was a few days ago, given the implantation bleeding, atleast I thought that's what it was) I just dont understand

Hun, if it's upseting you that much just put the tests away and wait until AF is late. Each time you see a BFN you're going to get more dissapointed. You still have 3 days until your actual testing day! As I said before don't give up hope! I didn't get mine until AF was 4 days late.

Yeah maybe I will put the tests away. Were you testing every day up until you were four days late? These tests really are getting me down I should have waited but I just couldn't. Every time I peed on a damn stick I'd get so excited and stare at it as my smile quickly turned upside down. Now all I have is doubt. I just keep reading the side of the box and it says "70 % of pregnant women get a BFP 3 days before their missed period!" and I didn't...

It is not over yet, hun you still have time!! For many, they wont get a bfp until after AF is due so you are still in the running until the shows!! Also about symptoms, it's really hard not to think of symptoms while TTC, and our bodies are strange and sometimes you can think symptoms on yourself bby thinking about it so much! I hope you do get your bfp soon though! good luck!

No I didn't test everyday up until then but I did take a clearblue digital 2 days before I got my BFP and it was negative.

oh i know it's so hard !!! specialy when you compare statistic...you know it's our 5 month trying and everywhere it said 70% of couples get pg on the 5 month try and i keep telling myself why not me? can i be on the 70% ?
don't lose hope your BFP will be coming like my mom said when we will get it we will 70% more happy that the rest of the people who got it right away

I hate statistics, they're usually so inflated! If I'm not pg I'll be crushed, and this is just our first month trying. I knew it would be an emotional rollercoaster but I didn't expect this! Yesterday I was happy as a clam, with all these symptoms I was absolutely sure I was pregnant! I was positive, until the test was negative. I'm not going to test tomorrow, or the next day. TAKE THAT FIRST RESPONSE!!! I really admire your strength, I dont know how I'll be holding up if I dont get pg for 5 months

I think we were all like that in our first month lol, i was! I was just so curious "HOW does pg feel like?" I had a LOT of "i never feel this way before AF!" moments but after 5 months i realized that i DO get a lot of PMS symptoms, i just never noticed it before TTC and now i'm scrutinizing myself so much i pick up every little twinge! Before, i never "felt" pms symptoms but now i know my body a little more and i get sore bbs (2-3 days before AF due date), an increased appetite the week before (where i crave things like chips and pizza), and get extremely tired (napping a few hours a day!) So now when i start getting those feelings, i just know it's PMS and not PG symptoms and sure enough...AF has arrived on schedule every time

My first month trying was back in November, and i took a HPT and it was BFN, it was devastating, i really wanted to see what a BFP looked like. It's now been 5 months and the last HPT i ever took was that one i took in November. I can't bring myself to see another BFN so i usually wait out my time for AF to show, and like i said, she comes every time. But i find it easier this way, rather than seeing a BFN which is just plain disappointing. I have a lot of patience though lol there's of course nothing wrong with POAS!! I hope you get your BFP soon, don't be too hard on yourself we're all here to support you along the way!

oh sweet don't admire me some ladies have more patience than me womans who are ttc for over a year are the ones who have the most wonderful strength in ttc rollercoasters...
any way our first month i was sure i was PG like you because before i was ttc all the sympthons i had i never paid attention to them (you know i was like oh AF is on her way) and the first month we try i discover that my breasts hurt and stuff but AF was on her way nevertless.. i always being a 26 days cycle since age 11 (i am 33 now) than the 3 month in ttc for some reason i was 1 day late and i was sure i was PG but noooo... the evil witch appear ...and this last cycle number4 i was 1 day early !!! it can drive you nuts sometimes i think our minds can play tricks on our hormones so the best it 's to relax and enjoy the ride We are healthy and i hope you are so there is no no reason for us to make a baby and a healthy /gorgeous one so we have to enjoy our journey and when we look back we we only see couples months/half a year of trying and it will not seems like it took forever anymore

samo we are so the same
