AF 10 days late. BFNs every day. Any hope of a BFP?

Indulge me. I know that chances are slim, but I'm just wondering if anyone tested negative until maybe 2-3 wks late.

My cycles are long (35 days) but I'm usually regular with them. Have never been this late. We only dtd twice in the fertile window so again, I know chances are slim. I haven't been using OPKs so no way of knowing whether I ovulated or not.

Have used a FRER, Clear Blue Digital and hundreds of cheap internet test strips after AF was due. All negative.

You could have had a mental cycle I suppose! I don't want to get your hopes up or dash them either but after my miscarriage my first period was two full weeks late. Have you been under a lot of stress lately? Anything you can think of that may have disrupted your cycles?
If it were me (and I know it's super hard) I would try and put it from my mind and test again in two weeks if nothing has happened. Maybe even speak to your GP if you are worried.
I assume you are actively trying to conceive and so are already taking folic acid - keep it up just in case 🙂 Wishing you well and I have my fingers crossed that you eventually get the result you want.

Yes we are actively TTC lottie so am taking folic acid. I spoke to my doctor's and the receptionist said it wasn't urgent so have a phone appointment next week. Not really been under any more stress than usual, but I suppose I am feeling very tired.

I guess my only moan is that if I'm not pg, how on earth do I work out my new cycle dates as we are actively trying but no idea where I am with everything now!

Will hold off testing again until later in the week when I'll be over 2 weeks late.

Try not to worry about that too much now (impossible I know!) as the extra stress of it will undoubtedly set everything out of kilter anyway!
Try focus on something else for a bit and retest later on. It could be that you are having a weird cycle, that you ovulated very late and are pregnant but too early to test just yet. Wait it out and see what happens with your next cycle too when / if it comes.

My last cycle ended up being 49 days after months of 35 day cycles. I peed on so many sticks it was ridiculous. I had 2 tests that I thought were squinters but were probably evaps. Sometimes you just have a random cycle which is frustrating. Hoping things clear up for you soon.

Sadly AF arrived in full force last night. So turns out I just had a wacky cycle!

Gutted but actually now I know a weight has been lifted and I can focus on enjoying Christmas without worrying!
