Hello all first time poster here. I'm 25 years old and trying to conceive. I took my last pill on the 21st September. I had a small bleed on 16th, 17th and 18th October. I then had a normal period on 27th,28th,29th,30th and 1st Nov/Dec. On the 7th and 8th of Jan I had some light spotting, more like brown discharge. Currently my Flo app says I'm 17 days late. I've done multiple tests including a clear blue and all have been negative. (One strip test at 7 days late appeared with a very very faint line but I wasn't sure if it was an evap line and hasn't been repeated since) Any advice? Anyone been in the same situation and eventually get a positive result? Thanks in advance.

Becca3210 it really is.

Em39ma that is awful! Hopefully you do get a real positive soon.

@em39ma I didn't realise that was a possibility to have HCG levels too high.
I'm 18 days late so I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant because I'm not sure I've had any actual symptoms. (I may be imagining some). I've been crying on and off all day and it's a bit much now. Gotta wait for a while for my appointment but the waiting is killing me. I've never wanted something so much.

Mine got more confusing this morning.
On a CB digital I got not pregnant 2-3weeks??
Phoned CB and the apologised and the test must be faulty, sending me out a new pack.
And lady on the phone then said as I was 7 days late my hcg might be to high to work on a home test.

Is very frustrating isn't it. I am 3 days late no bfp yet!

@waterlilly118
I’m now 7 days late and getting negative test too.
I feel pregnant like I did last time ( miscarried in October), I’m the same as you it’s just confusing. I’m speaking to the doctor tomorrow, as he has some test results for me, so will ask him about having a blood hcg test done.
I would maybe give yours a call if still nothing in a week

Thank you physicskate, maybe I'll get some ovulation test if AF does come around. I hadn't really thought about anovultory cycles so that's a good thing to keep in mind thank you. I have a doctor's appointment on the 30th so I'll also see what's happened by then.

Late ovulation. It's common, particularly if you've recently been on hormonal bc (in the last year or so). Late ov will cause you to be late by the same number of days (or you will get a bfp long after af was 'due'). This is why lots of women who ttc track ovulation.

Or that small bleed was a sign that perhaps you had an anovulatory cycle and that was your bleed (anovulatory cycles are also common).
