Emma I'm only 16DPO but period was meant to start yesterday was a no show, negative cheapie online dipstick test. I'm in the same boat im runing to the loo with cm thinking it's my period, my cervix is high I wouldn't say soft though kind of hard but kind of feels all swollen inside. I've had some on off cramping nothing major, think my boobs are more veiny than usual!

Have you tried holding off going to the toilet for at least 5 hours without drinking and testing then? Or using mid stream urine ? Apparently there is more HCG in top of your bladder so pee a lititle first before testing..

Hi lindz877 thanks for the reply.
My insides feel swallon Aswell they have for about a week now. I took the tesco test at what I can work out at bout 11 dpo. My periods are not really regular so having to estimate it. I've used Internet cheapies with first morning wee

emmalouisemaria perhaps you should wait another couple of days to test again? It all sounds positive to me but I understand the heartache when you see negative but also the temptation to test again and again! Suppose you could go to the docs and have a blood HCG?

Yes lindz877 that will be next a visit to the doctors. I've had alot of period symptoms today so maybe she's on her way. I hope you get your bfp soon

Emma did you go see your doctor in the end? Any more testing? Still no period for me! Still have the watery cm cervix is still high! Had cramps last night thinking period was coming but no show but I ended up having Diarrhea I have no idea where that came from!

Hiya lindz. I went to the doctors today and she sent me for a blood test. We worked out that if I was pregnant it's very early 4/5 weeks. I'm just waiting on the results. I woke yesterday morning feeling like I had the worst hangover ever and felt I'll all day. I've had a few period symptoms also but still a no show. I tested again last night and thought I could see a very very faint line but not too sure. I took a picture of the test and edited it and can see something on it but it could just be a evaporation line.

How are you feeling now. Have you tested again? I wonder if the diarrhoea is connected by any means. I normally always have that at the start of my period but if its a new symptom for you it might be a good sign. My cervix is also high and I still feel swallon down there

Hi Emma, have your bloods come back? Still no period here, no other symptoms other than the usual CM my cervix is still high and hard, still swollen down there too! I'm working nights tonight and tomorrow so hoping that will take my mind off it then I'll test Sunday if period is still a no show!

Hi ive rang the doctors and results are in but receptionist can't tell me because the doctor hasn't looked at them yet. ????. she said it won't be until next week now and it's a bank holiday weekend so have to wait a extra day. Or see if my period arrives which ever comes first. Needless to say it's going to be a long weekend.

Oh no! Well keep me updated! Fingers are crossed for us! Maybe you could test again this weekend? I'm thinking if my period doesn't show by Sunday I'll test
