Anybody had a late BFP? Im so confused...

49 replies

xxlannixx · 08/04/2020 12:36

I have 24day cycles... im now on cd29 and no sign of AF and sorry tmi but increasing amount of creamy cm.
Last month when i tracked OV i ovulated on cd15 which would make me 13dpo today.
Took a FRER this am but BFN. Its really unlike me as i am a regular 24 day cycle.
Anybody got any advice i feel like im losing my mind and the days are going so slow waiting for either AF or BFP.

I feel the same, my cycles are 24/25 days and have been regular since September when we started ttc.
Im not on day 28 and not even got any pink when I wipe.
Don't know whether to test or not yet. Ive been having pain/tightness in my right pelvic are every day for 2 weeks, my temperature is staying at 37 degrees even though im normally cold and ive had a couple of sharp stabs in my womb area. I had convinced myself I was pregnant but then my dr told me I have low progesterone and unlikely to conceive without help.
I feel like if I test i'll just be disappointed :(

@Squeezy212 Ohh i wish i had your willpower, i have tested what feels like 100 times! Same as you, started ttc december amd AF has been like clockwork.
I have had the same as you, tighness in my stomach, also boobs that feel like bricks and nausea is the afternoons.
Just want to know whats going on.
I hear so many stories of women being told by doctors that they have a low chance to conceive naturally but they did so you never know. Are you planning on testing soon?

I was thinking about testing this afternoon when I get home from work. But now I'm wondering if I should still wait. I have silly things planned out on my head about how to reveal it to my fiance if I'm pregnant but then I'll hate myself for even thinking it if I'm not

@Squeezy212. You sound just like me! I ordered a card to give to my partner when i get pregnant. I was convinced i was gonna get a BFP after being this late. The longer you can hold off the better I suppose. Curiosity kills me and my PMT symptoms are always quite bad that convinces me im pregnant most months.

That's a very short regular cycle.

Fwiw, I didn't test positive until day 19 following ovulation.

I made an account to post this after a long time just reading as I remember going through this myself last year. I had 25 day cycles, and didn't test positive until 15DPO, now I am due with my first baby this Friday. Fingers crossed!

Florence13 · 08/04/2020 13:59

Hi @xxlannixx I am in a similar situation AF will be a week late on Thursday. I have only done one test but got a BFN and now just feel to scared to POAS again in case I get the same result.

Aww congrats @aprilpixie its hard because when people wait to test is way past my expected period date. Im only 13dpo now but already 5 days late for af.

@Florence13 when did you last test?

Em39ma · 08/04/2020 14:27

I’m in the same boat.
Should of got AF 10 days ago, very regular 28 cycle, no sign of AF, test ever 3 days with cheapies and done few first response all negative.
Only ever miss AF when pregnant, very confused

Florence13 · 08/04/2020 14:37

@xxlannixx I last tested last Friday

Squeezy212 · 08/04/2020 15:57

I didnt test when I got home even though I was trying to save up my pee haha. I just hated the thought of it being negative and then I'd feel like an idiot. I talked myself into it just me being silly and I'm only 2 days late really. I might to it tomorrow with FMU

Florence13 · 08/04/2020 17:32

@Squeezy212 I completely understand how you feel I feel the exact same just feel to scared to test again in case it is negative.

Squeezy212 · 08/04/2020 21:52

Think I'm gonna test first thing in the morning

Lizziebizzie · 08/04/2020 22:35

I am a week late today, 19dpo, had a weird early 2 day bleed then nothing. Got symptoms but only BFN's so I am joining you ladies!

Florence13 · 09/04/2020 06:27

@Squeezy212 keeping my fingers crossed for you keep us updated.

@Lizziebizzie welcome to the club I am also a week late today but don’t really have any symptoms other than sore boobs.

Squeezy212 · 09/04/2020 06:34

So I tested...BFP! Yay!

Lizziebizzie · 09/04/2020 07:32

@squeezy212 Amazing!! Super congrats to you!! Xx

@Florence13 Let me know how you get on! I am going to do one more test this weekend and then leave it :( did you have any withdrawal bleed?

Lizziebizzie · 09/04/2020 07:38

xxlannixx · 09/04/2020 10:43

Congrats @Squeezy212... i had a feeling you would get your BFP. How many dpo are you now?

@Florence13 its causes such anxiety when all you want is to see is two lines.

@Lizziebizzie I havent had a implantation bleed but from what i read it is normally up to 2 day light bleed around a week after ovulation.

Just an update on me... CD30 of what is normally a 24day cycle. All im getting is an increase of CM. Tested yesterday morning BfN so i give up waiting to see those 2 lines. I just dont feel like AF is coming as most my pmt symptoms have stopped. So im just in this wierd waiting game.

OP posts:
Lizziebizzie · 09/04/2020 10:49

@xxlanixx I'm sorry I really know how you feel. It's so frustrating! I am also getting an increase in cm but I'm not far off approaching what would be my next fertile window so I dont know if it is that or not?

I got really strong symptoms a few days ago and only the odd pang here and there since so god knows. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you xx

@Lizziebizzie its so strange isnt it.
Yes sounds very similar to me, last week i had really strong symptoms and now they have eased. Mainly just feel twinges in my lower tummy and abit of nausea in the eve. I just want to either get to lines or AF to show so im not in limbo dringing myself insane. I keep having this feeling that AF isnt going to show. I came off my mini pill the start of december and have had 24 day cycles straight away.

Squeezy212 · 09/04/2020 11:11

Thankyou, I'm not exactly sure on how many DPO I am because I never pinpointed it. I tried ovulation sticks but never got anything near a positive Dr told me to give up using them. I've only got my fertile window according to me app (ovia) so I would guess around 15/16 DPO.
I know people say it but I KNEW but i just didnt want to believe it but I've felt pregnant for 2 weeks now

Lizziebizzie · 09/04/2020 11:26

@xxlannixx Your situation is exactly the same as mine! I came off the mini pill Dec. and had straight 28 day cycles. I am only getting mild twinges in boobs and below now. I think I have a very mild weird taste in my mouth but no food or drink adversions. Also feel like I'm just in a normal mid cycle as well dont feel like AF is coming. Perhaps we both didnt ovulate and are just missing AF this month

@squeezy212 So happy you were able to conceive despite what the docs were saying! It does show sometimes you just need to listen to your own body!

xxlannixx · 09/04/2020 11:50
