How long did it take you to get a positive test result?

Hi ladies, I am on cycle day 32. AF usually here by day 29, 30 at absolute latest. DH and I not actively trying to conceive but we have discussed it a lot and had planned to start trying properly in the New Year. In the meantime we haven't been using any contraception apart from pullout method (which to be honest we don't always do). I am wondering if I might be pregnant. I am really poorly at the moment with cold / flu so am really tired but maybe just because of the illness. My boobs are maybe a little bit twingey but don't seem any bigger. I have some lower back pain. No sign of AF. I tested yesterday (2 x Clearblue, but not the ones that say "pregnant" or "not pregnant", the ones that just give you a line or a cross) and both negative. Could I still be pregnant? It doesn't seem very likely given the negative test results but I am still hopeful. Have any of you had to wait a while after AF was due for your BFP? If AF doesn't arrive, when should I test again and is there a particular brand of test you'd recommend? Thanks!
