Hi has this happened to anyone before and resulted in pregnancy. Ttc #2 finding it very frustration not knowing either way...... Am I testing too early? How long should I wait again as dreading that (-) sign again. Thank you

Yup, CD34, people have struggled over what to call cd1. Some have spotting for a while leading up to the day when bleeding starts properly, and I've heard that when bleeding starts properly is cd1 regardless of the spotting days that preceded it, but I don't know if that's true. Either way it's a long cycle for you. When I started ttc'ing my very regular 28 day cycles (going back over years of diary notations) began to fluxuate from 24 to 31 days.

In order to know when you ovulate you need to temp, or use opks, or learn your bodies signs because it doesn't necessarily happen in the middle of your cycle and there can be months where you don't ovulate at all.

Apologies if you know all of this already. It sounds like you're charting. That was too fidly for me so I don't have any advice for you. Good luck, let us know if you get the bfp!

I've been using an app to track my period for over a year. Average 28-30 day cycle. I'm currently sitting at 19 DPO according to my chart?

Hi Wattage yes, sorry, days past ovulation. Sounds like you aren't tracking this yet. It can take up to 12 dpo (with the day of ovulation being 0) for implantation to occur and then it can take another couple of days for the hormones to be picked up on a pregnancy test. Are you certain about the lengths of your cycles? Have you been keeping note?

My doctor wouldn't do anything till I was 4 weeks late. And was going out of my mind, cheap tests is the way to go, 15 for about £2. Grin

Thank you. I'm usual on time as been tracking. So unsettling not knowing. But don't want to get my hopes up. Do have some symtoms but could be in my head lol. So should I wait one week missed retest if still (-) call doc??

What dpo are you? Goss luck!

I was 21 days late, never late ever

I'm 5 months pregnant now.

Give it a week, I suggest getting a pack of cheap dip tests of amazon or eBay or you will spend a fortune, mine unfortunatly arrived the same day as my BFP after spending about £50 on other tests.
