9 days late for AF but 2 x BFN. Anyone else been through this?

I have a theory. With first morning wee, it's more concentrate and that's why you have a better result. So if I don't drink much (which isn't a surprise) hopefully it be a better result? Bcos it's using more 'bodily' fluid??

I think it's also because the 99% assumes you have regular cycles and know exactly when you ovulated. If you can't be sure when you ovulated then I suppose you can't really be sure when your AF is really due (applies in my case anyway)

True! But I didn't realise it was quite so common to test negatively at first before a positive test.

Thanks everyone, I'm on day 37 now which is 10 days late, but I've had symptoms since about 28th dec and been sure I was preg since NYE! I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for everyone on here waiting and if I get a chance later tonight I'll try as update those stats as it is nice to know who's where.

Well, I guess they can be 99.999% accurate if I am one of the 0.001%!!

So when the tests say that they are over 99% accurate, it's a load of rubbish (at least in the case of a negative result)? Why don't they say that in the leaflet? Thanks for sharing FamiliesShareGerms. Massive congratulations Girraferama and Purple!

I had two -ve tests when I was pregnant with DS. I went to the doctor because I had all the normal pg symptoms (queasy, sore boobs etc) and she simply shrugged off the test results and said if you have all the symptoms then you are pregnant. I took a test just before my 12 week scan because, although by then I was starting swell a bit, I was still worried that I'd get in there and it would all be a false alarm, and that was the first positive test I had.

Yay! Congrats!! I'm losing track of all these BFPs! Lol I'm past the record of 42dats for a cycle. I'm now 43days lol going to get an Asda one tonight when I take mum shopping. I'm gona do it tomorrow and not on my bday Sunday cos if its still a bfn I don't wana feel disappointed all day.

Hurrah for Girraferama, that is fabulous!! Definitely gives us all hope!

Morning all, I've now done 3 cheapie tests and went out to get a first response this morning to confirm - definite BFP!!

Congrats too purple - looks like we've started a trend and hopefully a lucky thread!! I was cd52 on first positive and I had tested as recently as a week ago, so don't give up ladies - it's not over until Aunt Flo sings!!

No offence taken, JellyBean :)

Oh! I feel really sorry for my dp, he gets really tired but I don't let him go haha sorry if I offended anyone, I speak before I think.

PurplePoppySeed - that is fabulous news, congratulations!!! Just goes to show there really is still hope!

Day 45 for me now....won't test until the start of next week. I think that would be my last chance.

"I keep reading about people DTD like as little as once a fortnight. I am so shocked! I couldn't survive on that, trying or no trying."

JellyBean, that's me, too. DH works away a lot on business and even when he's here, we both work really long hours with long commutes so are generally exhausted by the evening and can't wait to sleep more than anything else. Sad but true

Leo16, DH is away on business this week so no DTD for us anyway. To be honest I normally get really clear OV symptoms - prounounced pain and changes in CM (usually followed by AF exactly 14 days later), so I think I'd know if I were ovulating. At the moment I feel nothing at all. It's like a total non-cycle.

Brilliant Purple! Congratulations!

Update: day 42 and still no period. I have resisted the temptation to test today and will test tomorrow morning.

Yay!! That's amazing news purple!! How late again were you?

Good plan, keep going for it Leo

I got a darker line today, I think I might actually believe it now!!! Yey

Fab news Girrafarama and PurplePoppySeed about the faint lines, hope they continue getting darker!

Cheap ones arrived and still BFN. Going to re-test when 2 weeks overdue and maybe book dr after if still negative.

What's those that are still waiting doing about ttc? We are still trying but now have no idea when ovulation will be.

So summary of today: no AF!! And with all these hopeful faint lines, I'm feeling the hope lets get some BFPs and make this the 2 line bus!!

Hi everyone, wow, it's great to have so much company on the late AF bus

Girra so glad to hear your good news, fingers crossed for a stronger line tomorrow.

I had heart burn last night too as I'm getting ridiculously tired, so I caved a day early and did another first response test and also got a really faint line this morning, so I'm going to try again tomorrow am. I'm feeling hopeful, however having had the MC so recently if this works out I think I'll probably be panicking and checking for bleeds constantly until I get past 13 weeks and I won't tell anyone this time until I cant hide it any more!

Good luck anyone testing tomorrow am xx

I'm afraid I'm one of those but for a good reason!! DH is a shift worker so we can go days without seeing each other or not being in bed at the same time, it's annoying but sometimes life just gets on the way!!

I keep reading about people DTD like as little as once a fortnight. I am so shocked! I couldn't survive on that, trying or no trying.

Blue I'm gona try. That sound like a good option. I'm on my 11th day late

I tested again and nothing. Been have cramps on and off. I can't afford anymore tests lol so ill just have to wait. I've asked for one thing only for my birthday (Sunday) and that's a test haha I'm going to stop stressing now, what will be will be and we're not going to get anything any quicker, so embrace time
