Am I getting my hopes up?

[needsomebabydust]

I have been TTC for 10 months now since having the implant removed and my cycles have all over the places with the shortest 21 Days and the longest 49 days. When I have caught my peak ovulation on a Clear Blue test I usually get spotting around 9dpo with AF arriving 11dpo.... Today I am 11dpo and there is no sign of af but not a signal pregnancy symptom and I am too scared to test and hate the little shred of hopefulness that is creeping in because it will only make AFs arrival that much harder... Does the length of your luetal phase change so even though I have had peak ovulation confirmed I could just be a few days late? At what point did people start to feel pregnant?

I had no feeling of being pregnant until well into my first trimester, if that's comforting to know...maybe not until like 8 weeks?
Sorry to hear it's been hard to conceive. It puts you through the ringer. Sending baby dust!

Not sure about luteal phase changing but just wanted to say I also had long irregular cycles after stopping mini pill and I had zero symptoms until at least 6 weeks. Actually started to think maybe morning sickness would pass me by then BAM So don't give up hope!

I’d test to put yourself out of misery. If it’s negative you can move on, which is painful but preferable to this ‘am I? Aren’t I?’ limbo. Use an early response test not a regular one. Ten days post ovulation is enough time for most women to show an increased level of HCG and get a positive result!

I felt sick for five days just a week after ovulating when I conceived, which really surprised me, but don’t think that’s common.

Your luteal phase should usually stay the same, so if you ovulate later your periods usually later, I didn't have pregnancy symptoms until about 7-8 weeks so I wouldn't worry about that

I only found out because my boyfriend had a 'feeling' as AF was a few days late. I was only 3 weeks so had no symptoms at all.
My fingers are crossed for you!

Thanks everyone. Tested and got a BFN but still no sign of AF. Will try to wait until the weekend to test again if AF doesn't show up before then
