17 DPO! Bfp?

As the title says!! Tested at 14dpo on clear blue - negative! Tested on a free today at 17 dpo - what I believe to be a positive (I'll attach photo) I guess what I'm here for is some success stories! Because my last 3 pregnancies have been ectopic, then 2 chemicals! And the super late bfp is freaking me out!! Anyone!?? X

Did you track ovulation? It may be that you ovulated a lot later than usual?

Congratulations on the BFP!

TTCjourney2021 · 15/10/2021 10:41

@chasingtherainbow1 I've only tracked with the Flo app, as I was trying to relax abit with it all! I did have a vaginal scan just over a week ago to check fertility and the lady told me she could see that I had ovulated around 6/8 days prior but she couldn't be 100 percent obviously! With my previous chemicals, my positives have been from 7dpo! So I'm hoping this one is going to be different! X

I didn't get a positive until 18dpo so I'm in the same boat. All negative before that. I'm doing another test today as I'm also worried x

chasingtherainbow1 · 15/10/2021 10:44

@TTCjourney2021 I guess all of our bodies work differently. Just try and enjoy it now and I hope it all works well for you. I've had 2 losses this year so I understand how anxious it can be!

You've given me a bit of hope. I'm 12dpo today. I haven't tested today but used FRER's a couple of days ago which had quite bad indents on 🙄 got one left which I'm going to wait until AF is due on Monday.

TTCjourney2021 · 15/10/2021 11:08

@Mummybearto3bg ah I have everything crossed for us 🤞 I last tested at 14dpo! And with a CB digital! So it is possible I could of had one at 15 or 16dpo had I tried! But waited till AF was 2 days late!!
Are your lines strong? My chemicals have always been super faint! So this is darker than usual for me!!

@chasingtherainbow1 aww well, maybe it's a thread of late BFP's and we get our rainbows!! 🤞🤞

Mummybearto3bg · 15/10/2021 12:34

@TTCjourney2021 hopefully it's good news for you :) no mine is super faint but I am in the mind frame what will be will be so it's ok! Xx

TTCjourney2021 · 16/10/2021 08:18

Hi ladies!! Does today's test look to be any darker? Or do you think it's the same!?

17 DPO! Bfp?

I think the bottom one looks slightly darker

lionsmum · 16/10/2021 08:30

@TTCjourney2021 I'd say darker😊 likely you just your ov date a little off

Mummybearto3bg · 16/10/2021 08:30

Definite progression :-) xx

TTCjourney2021 · 16/10/2021 08:33

Thanks ladies!! I have everything crossed 🤞
Good luck to you all too!!

elliesmummy19 · 16/10/2021 08:34

Congratulations!

I didn't even get a whiff of a line until I was 17dpo. My daughter is now two so it all turned out fine!

Could you have ovulated slightly later than you think? I had an early scan because of bleeding and my daughter was measuring slightly smaller than I expected. When I looked back at my temp charts etc. I realised I must have ovulated and conceived slightly later than I thought.

That's a really good line so I wouldn't worry!

elliesmummy19 · 16/10/2021 08:35

@TTCjourney2021

Hi ladies!! Does today's test look to be any darker? Or do you think it's the same!?
Just saw your update. My lines also didn't get any darker over days. I was so worried. Again, my daughter is now a happy and healthy two year old so all was fine!
TTCjourney2021 · 16/10/2021 08:38

@elliesmummy19 ahh thankyou!! I love hearing positive stories! It's so bizarre because everyone says wait untill AF is late! Then when you do, you read that it's late for a bfp! So it causes major overthinking doesn't it haha!!

I get you! A friend had recently announced she was pregnant and I was getting all negative tests days before my positive. I was really upset. Than BAM! Positive on 17dpo. I never got a 3+ on a Clearblue digital, didn't even get a hint of a line of cheap tests till days after I got faint positives on other tests. I was certain things were going to end badly but obviously everything was fine! The outcome is currently throwing cornflakes everywhere Grin

TTCjourney2021 · 16/10/2021 08:49

Haha!!! Definitely fills me with confidence ☺️

Hi all! Ttc journey 21 how are you? I’m 10 DPO , just tested and no line but I haven’t had any of my usual Pre period symptoms so may still have a chance!!

TTCjourney2021 · 18/11/2021 18:04

10 soo is very early!! I'm just coming upto 9 weeks x

Sofia2126 · 07/04/2022 04:54

Omg your right! I am 16 dpo my period is usually like clockwork.. but I keep getting negative tests... reading all these posts has given me some hope since I still don't have my period. Everything else I have looked up online says it's too late to get a positive now that my period is late. So frustrating

Sofia2126 · 07/04/2022 04:55

This gives me some hope. I am 16dpo and still no period and only negative tests.. I will try again tomorrow... if it actually happens it will be the best thing to ever happen to me.

Faye00 · 02/07/2022 00:05

I just got my bfp on 17dpo! All the lines on my tests have been super faint. Weirdly this was the one month i did not feel any pregnancy symptoms so was sure i was out!

TTCmum90 · 16/09/2022 09:28

Hi ladies, I know this is an older thread but I couldn't help reading and thinking this is almost IDENTICAL to my circumstance! (Especially the photo, near spitting image).

I think I will share a post separately of how it started with all BFNs and now finally at (I think) 17 dpo // 3-4 days dpaf I've seen line progression on FRER and cheapie tests and gotten confirmed BFP from midwife!! So definitely there is hope it can turn around.

This is even after testing with CB digital, it said not pregnant 4 days ago on day of missed AF (but probably not enough hcg if I o'd or implanted late). Hope to test next week just to see 'pregnant' on a test.**

It is the first time ever I've gotten consistent growth on a pregnancy test, following 4 miscarriages with 1 chemical in a row last year. Been ttc for almost over 2 years, no luck yet.

I'm scared but excited and hopeful now reading your positive stories.

Really hoping it sticks and carries on growing - it's sad isn't it after MMCs it's so hard to fully be hopeful 😢 😞

Especially with faint lines, there is the worry it might not stick. But I've got a good gut feeling, cos this month we didn't really obsess over tracking OPKs or anything, just went for it.

Trying to stay hopeful and positive, and I look forward to reading some more positive stories from BFN - faint BFP - DD / DS!! 😀

Thanks so much to the OP and you ladies for being brave enough to share and post your story. Fingers crossed for you xx

17 DPO! Bfp?
morebiscuitslessdrama · 01/02/2023 19:28

I’m currently late, had a chemical pregnancy last month and didn’t test ovulation as I’m trying to be laid back… (said no one EVER!)

tested 16DPO with a digital clear blue no pregnant but I’ve been exhausted the past two days with a headache that could kill a man. Not sure if I’m pregnant if I’m due my monthly in the next few days I’ll be disappointed.

TTCjourney2021 · 02/02/2023 03:38

Aww, I thought I'd come on here and update my little bubba is now 7.5 months old and the most perfect little thing!!

Never give up hope girls, not everybody gets the usual 7dpo positives!! I'm proof of that!

Especially after chemicals/miscarriages our cycles are all over the place so sending lots of love to everyone trying don't give up ❤️
