Okay sorry for the long essay🙈
I took a test which was negative the day before my period was due(3 days ago) I'm now 2 days late and still no period. I tested again this evening ( 2hr hold ) and it showed negative again.( I know mornings are best but I got impatient )
I have been checking my cervical position etc regular and notice my cervix is still in a medium position but yest/today I've noticed some pinkish beige mucus on my finger when I checked, so I checked a couple times over the past 48 hours and sometimes there's discharge sometimes it's just my usual clear/whitish (sorry for the details) discharge.There's no blood or anything showing when I pee or wipe though. Could this be implantation bleeding? And perhaps I just tested too early for the test to show up as positive. I've noticed since yesterday my breasts are really sore and I've had a few twinges/cramps on and off the past few days too? Just after everyone's advise.
Looking at my calendar I am 2 days late for my period. I last had sex the 16th Dec and my predicted ovulation date was the 18th Dec..(new to this sorry) so I think I'm around 12 to 14 DPO .. but only experiencing possible implantation symptoms now ? Is this normal ?

@BlippyMoose26 dont worry, I know exactly how you feel. So easy to get obsessive over it. I know that some people do tend to get very late positives though.. so I think the 21 day wait is the way to go. Going to see if AF turns up tomorrow but don’t know if I have the confidence to test again:( good luck and keep me updated too! X

I’m in almost the same situation! My app says I ovulated on 18th aswell and period will be 2 days late tomorrow. My tests have also been negative. Only difference is I had light bleeding 9dpo which I hope was implantation, but tests have been BFN so probably not. I’ve heard 12dpo for implantation can happen but 14dpo is less likely. When are you planning to test again?

I'm so impatient !! I want to test again in the morning but going to try my hardest and hold off a bit longer... Some online forums say best results are at least 21 days after unprotected sex so that takes me to around Thurs or Friday ... I'm just so confused and probably not helping things by sitting on Google for hours on end haha !!! Keep me posted on your situation too please and good luck !!! X

It could be that you ovulated later than your predicted ovulation date which would make your period later too. Doesn’t mean you’re not pregnant it could go either way. If you was 14dpo then you would likely have a positive test if pregnant

I think that implantation would be earlier than 12-14dpo as it advises that implantation can happen from 6-12dpo but implantation that happens 11-12dpo is a lot more likely to end in a chemical as not enough time to implant properly.

as you’re not sure when you actually ovulated I would wait a few days and then test again or you could spend a fortune on tests

Yeah I'm a little confused I'm thinking if I had sex on the 16th .. and conceived 5 days after that brings me to the 21st .. that would make me 12 days after possible conception ... Looking online if I'm right implantation is around 29th or 30th ... Which is 3/4 days ago ... This is all so confusing I'm not sure if I'm just testing too early or if this is implantation. I have more tests at the ready if I still don't get my period which is usually like clockwork. I'm just new to all this so a bit confused 🙈🙈
