1st Trimester
Did you get many BFN before getting the BFP?
Hey,
Well I'm on 28 days since my last period and I have NO sign of AF. However, I do have early pregnancy signs including: nausea, fatigue, low-grade fever, increase CM, increase in gasiness, and prominent blue veins on my chest.
I'm assuming that I ovulated the day DH and I did the BD (Thursday, March 11th) which would put me at 13DPO. I tested at 11DPO, 12DPO and 13DPO and they all resulted in a BFN.
I feel so pregnant! I'm wondering if there are similiar situations out there that resulted in a BFP???
Thanks in advance! -JD

Re: Did you get many BFN before getting the BFP?
You probably ovulated later than you think. Phantom symptoms are very common. The only proof of being pregnant is a + HPT. Take a HPT 1x per week. If no BFP and no AF by 60 days since your LMP then call your OBGYN.
Good luck!
BTW, to answer your question, no, I didn't see any negative tests before I got my BFP at 10 dpo.
ETA: And if we are grown-up enough to have babies then we are grown-up enough to say SEX.
I hate to tell you this because hope is such a great thing to hold on to sometimes. If you are pregnant enough to have symptoms you are enough to have a postive test. You probably have phantom symptoms.
For me, I only felt pregnant when I wasn't. I had every symptom until I actually was PG! At 10dpo though, with both pregnancies, I had a BFP.
You could have a late implanter though. Are you testing with FMU? I would wait a few days and try again.

What's making you assume that you O'd on March 11th? Did you chart? Use OPK's?
You could have ovulated later than you thought, you could be pregnant but you're testing too early, or you could not be pregnant and are just focusing on your body more than ever before so your "symptoms" may not be related to pregnancy whatsoever.
Did you not like the answers you got on TTGP?
I'll repeat mine - If you are pregnant enough for symptoms, you are pregnant enough to turn a test positive. If the tests are negative, the symptoms are related to something besides pregnancy.
UGH. I hate when they do that!
ETA: Hi Gym xoxoxox
No, I haven't been pregnant before. So it's probably really silly of me to say I feel pregnant.
I just haven't been feeling normal and the nausea has been pretty annoying and constant but, I don't know, maybe I have a touch of the flu or something.
::gives side eye to OP::
To answer your question, yes, I had BFN up until my BFP, I even had a BFN the night before we found out.
I also second PP saying if you're pregnant enough for symptoms, you're pregnant enough to get a positive test.

Hi!!!
I miss you
This was not true for me when we conceived DD. I was sick right away and my boobs were so sore that riding in the car was unbearable just four days after conception I was throwing up. I didn't get a BFP test until about two weeks later. As you can see by my siggy, I was in fact pg.
I got a couple of BFN's this time around as well, before getting a BFP. I knew I was pg though. I would start taking vitamins and keep testing if I were you.
Actually, I've already pushed my ovulation back by 2 days. I haven't been charting BBT, just averaging a 27 day cycle and assuming that I ovulate 14 days before my next expected period. DH and I aren't TTC right now, so I haven't felt the need to be more thorough in my family planning. We just abstain from having SEX
when I may be ovulating.
Thanks for your advice. It's probably good that I try to keep my hopes in check. Even though DH and I weren't trying, we would be more than excited if I was!
I had a BFN, but I tested WAY too early. I wanted to drink at a party and figured I'd better be on the safe side. Test was negative. Two weeks later, it was BFP. I should point out that two weeks later was the day AF was due, if you have a longer cycle, don't try to speed up the tests. I had a 5-week.
ETA: Just saw that you're posting this on multiple boards. Unless you have a very thick skin or LIKE to be flamed, don't do that. People get nasty. Including me :P
I hate to tell you this but the sore boobs were probably related to increased progesterone from ovulation and the throwing up was not related to pregnancy. You were probably sick or something. There is no way you had any hCG in your system 4 days after conception. Implantation doesn't even happen until 7-10 dpo and that's when hCG production starts.
I miss you too!!! I want to come join you over here
I had plenty of symptoms before I got a positive result. The whole time I knew I was pregnant so I wouldnt necessarily agree with your post.
You know what they say about assuming...
Seriously, if you aren't TTC then you should either use condoms, be on BCP, or chart to avoid. My cycle was 28 days and I was ovulating on CD20. Better safe than sorry if you aren't TTC.
No. We weren't TTC this month so I haven't been charting at all. I've just have been basing my OV on my average 27 day cycle.
Thanks for your advice. I know I'm getting pretty obsessed about it. I should just rest and wait to see what comes.
I can't wait! It's coming!!
BTW... I will be sending a package to you tomorrow.
Do you know how many people post on TTGP/BOTB/every other TTC board on the planet every day who just KNOW they are pregnant...and lo and behold they are not?
Yeah this method won't work, I ovulated on CD24 on I normally had 29 day cycles. You probably ovulated late.
Oooo!! Yay!
Everyone told me to post it here! I deleted it from the TTC boards. I'm new here. Still trying to figure out everything. Sorry if I offended.
I second this, I was "pregnant" many cycles before getting a positive HPT. 4 days after conception is way too early to be experiencing anything pregnancy related.

With my first pregnancy, I didn't get any positive tests until 14DPO, using my first morning pee, and using a Clearblue Digital.
This pregnancy, I got a BFP at 11DPO (also with a Clearblue Digital) but had gotten negatives with FR early result non-digital tests.

I experienced a month where I "knew" I was pregnant. I had every symptom under the sun and took about four tests over the course of the month. After I had my period, I even wondered if I could still be pregnant because it was really light.
When you want it that bad, you can make things up in your head. Maybe this is a good opportunity for you to talk to your husband about when you do want to start trying.
Good luck!
Yes, I think I have figured that out now. Thanks.
You know what it is. It's round, blue and rhymes with Swerm Call.
I wasn't sick or something. I threw up for 20 weeks thereafter.
Hey there OP. As I said before POAS and confirm if you are PG or not. If you are concerned about being sick I would see a doctor. If you are not actively trying its best to continue with condoms or chart to avoid as other posters have suggested. It tends to touch a nerve when someone gets "accidentally" pregnant and posts about it on TTGP. As I say, I know you are new and probably didn't know that. The best thing to do is lurk and make good use of the search function I mentioned at the bottom of the page. You can get a lot of your questions answered by just reading through posts.
I know you are new so you probably don't know that once you make a post that it is usually against protocol to DD it (Dirty Delete). I know that other posters told you to ask first tri, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to delete the other post. I think part of the reason this irks people is because it messes with their post count. It also makes them give you the side-eye. You are new so I am not sure if you know.
Keep lurking and you will see what we mean. Good luck.
I agree as well. I started having extremely sore boobs and nausea around 6 dpo...but didn't get my BFP until 10 dpo.
Swerm Call - LOL
And it has your good vibes baked right in!
