  • AF is 4 days late as of today (May 14th) but I'm 19dpo but still get BFN. Please let me hear your stories where you get a late BFP just so I know I'm still in the game. 

    I have nausea, headaches and cramps so it's hard for me to believe it's AF but not preggo symptoms.

    Well...we can't give your stories since this board is for those TRYING to get pregnant. Many of the ladies have never seen a positive pregnancy test. You might have more luck on the 1st Trimester board. 
  • @BusinessWife YES! I totally forgot about that option. Doh! Sometimes I forget that... well... ppl don't always know what they're doing.

  • @annaclausen I’m sorry you’re struggling with your BFN.

    You’ve posted on a board for women trying to conceive. Some of us have had BFPs, some of us have not, and all of us have been where you are. You can probably imagine that asking for stories about a “late BFP” in a crowd of folks anxious to get their own BFP doesn’t feel great. 

    The truth is, pregnancy tests don’t lie. You are not pregnant. Is there a remote chance you might get a positive later? Sure. Always a super remote chance. But no amount of stories on the internet will alter that BFN.

    If you’d like to introduce yourself and engage with the board as provided in the link posted above, I think you’d get some nice support here. 

  • Damn girls, it was just a question, no need to attack me. Obviously I made the wrong choice of asking for ANY advise here. But hey, always good to feel rejected by a group of people INSTEAD of a helpful comment that I posted in the wrong place. Jeez
  • @annaclausen you weren’t rejected, you were corrected. Join the community, give before you ask to take, etc. Or just check out a different board if you want random folks’ BFP stories. This just is not the place. 
  • There, I fixed it.

    A BFN means you are not pregnant at this time. Is that helpful?

    She took her question over to first tri lol 
  • Good to see that 1st Trimester has our back.
