The limbo is really hard.
Sedgie, I had to trawl back through some old work e-mails and stuff to work out how late I found out last time, as my memory is shockingly bad, plus they changed all my dates on me, (my dates were correct for conception, and I feel that I and dh would know not the nhs!!). I was just over 6 weeks, (so 4 weeks past conception, plus a couple of days). I had done a test a few days earlier because I had such sore boobs, but it came out negative. I had 2 weeks of really sore boobs before I got a positive.
At the moment, I am having nausea most days, my nipples have been super sensitive, and a big blue vein on one boob, which I have to say, is NOT sexy!
My moods have been up and down the last couple of weeks, (which dh can attest to). I had light bleeding from 9days after possible conception, that lasted 6 days. I have had dull aches and cramps in/around my uterus ever since, which I don't normally get with af.
I have PCOS, so my cycle can be 40+days, and I think that is the reason it took so long for bfp last time. But I have done a lot of reading/googling etc the last few days, and it seems a lot of people have gotten very late bfps, even over 10 weeks. Some who's mothers tested positive late also had late bfps themselves. One lady was 22 weeks pregnant, and her doctor was holding her bfn in his hand while looking at her baby on the ultrasound screen!!!
So, although probably rare, (in comparison to the bfps 'on time'), it is possible to get bfps long after the 2ww.
I am certainly keeping my fingers crossed, as today is day 43 of this cycle!!
