But if you test early - you could set yourself up for this heartache! I never knew this in my first pregnancy and got BFP 3 days before AF was due - I didn't miscarry til 8 weeks BUT I will not be testing early this time JUST INCASE its a BFP then I lose it with AF! Couldn't face that heartache!

Its not common - but it can happen! And for the sake of 2 days!

Yeah it's common, very much so. 46% -if I recall correctly- of all menstruation cycles are chemical mcs technically. It's said to be part of the reason why companies like CB won't continue the research to make tests more sensitive.

Sorry - what I meant was its not common to get the BFP and then get AF, usually the hormone is not strong enough! Around 45%-50% of all pregnancies end in mc before first AF - chemical pregnancies BUT not very many of those are picked up by pg tests! But it does happen - saying that - I poas tonight - way too early (8dyas before AF due! Muppet) Hanging off til at least the weekend now!!
