Could I be pregnant?

[Pinknchocolat]

Hi all,
I’m pretty new to all this, but I’m stuck and looking for some advice!
Me and the bf are ttc. We dtd around ovulation and I’m pretty sure I know when I ovulated. However I didn’t chart as it’s our first month ttc.
I have a cycle of 31 days, and ovulated on cd17. I’m currently over 2 weeks late for my period and on cd49!
I’ve done 3 hpt the first was a clear no, but I’m sure i had a faint line two days ago, but did another today and it was negative.
I’ve been getting headaches, period like cramps and tender boobs and have been sleeping a lot more recently.
I’ve heard that some women don’t get a bfp until 5-6 weeks? Has this happen to you?
I don’t want to book a doctors appointment as I feel like it’s a waste of time, just don’t sure what to do!
Any late positives stories would be encouraging!
What do you think?

It's more likely you ovulated much later than you think, which would delay your af or have you get a positive later. The time between ov and the start of af is pretty static, but you can ovulate on any cycle day.

Only time will tell... ttc sends a little t of women's cycles loopy.

My friend actually didn't get a positive test until she was 5 weeks! She of course didn't know because she generally doesn't get periods very often but she's now on her second! But as @physicskate said only time will tell just keep testing every morning and you'll eventually get either a BFP or af or you could have just skipped a period... it happens sometimes especially if your stressing about TTC. Hope that helps?! Good luck x

Thank you! This was helpful. I’m just confused. I’m now over 3 weeks late/on cd 54. I’m still getting negative tests. However I’ve been getting slight period cramps and pinching feelings. I assume it’s my period around the corner, but hasn’t arrived. First month ttc and my period suddenly does a runner! Not impressed!😂

Mine did too... stress and any changes will delay ovulation (and you can have the odd cycle where you don't ovulate too!!). It's super common.

Okay thank you! I’m just all knew to this. Never really paid attention to this kinda stuff, wish I did as I wouldn’t be so confused!
