Has anyone had a false negative hpt after period was due?

Hi everyone, I've just registered with MN and am completely new so sorry if this post is in the wrong place!

We've been ttc child 2 for almost 2 years now. My cycles are not always completely regular, but are usually around the 32-33 day long mark. I am now on day 36 with no period. I sometimes spot before AF makes an appearance, but it always comes within a day or so of spotting starting. I have been spotting now on and off for 1 week (not enough to reach my knickers - just when I wipe) and have very sore heavy / breasts. I was really hoping that I might be pregnant but got a bfn this morning (first thing) - I was gutted.

My question is: has anyone had a bfn after their period was due followed by a bfp? Or am I just wishful thinking? If you have, how long did it take to get a bfp? We are booked in for an IVF consultation in a weeks time so this all seems pretty big right now. Many thanks in advance :)

The waiting game! You can have implantation spotting. I never did but it happens. I think you will need to wait a little longer. I tested on day five of my overdue period. I got a clear blue test that can tell you really soon after a missed period. Fingers crossed.
