Okay I know this is going to seem like a bizarre post and I know no one can give me an answer but I won't be able to get a test until tomorrow afternoon.
Having been TTC for number 1 now for 17 months and not even had a sniff of a BFP. Both just into our 30s and basic investigations haven't found anything of concern. Despite this the length of time trying has meant I've sort of become resigned to needing some intervention so we have just started saving. Again because we have been trying for so long the days of having hopes up, having lots of tests in the house and early testing are long gone. Seeing the stark negative is just too hard. However, this cycle I got my peak on day 17 and so assume ovulated on 18 (this is a couple of days later than usual) and I have now reached day 32 (14dpo) and no sign of AF (although absolutely no pregnancy symptoms at all either) I usually spot from about 11/12 DPO and bleed properly from 13/14. I did however test positive for covid on CD23 (very mild symptoms of a slight cough). Has anyone found that covid delayed their period even if they tested positive after ovulation?? I am triple vaxed if that makes a difference. Or is it really possible that it's finally my time for a BFP?! Any experiences welcome!

Hi
I’m TTC #4 been trying 11 months age 40.
I haven’t been tracking ovulation but AF is 3 days late (I usually have 28 day cycles so unusual to be late). I currently have Covid (mild cold like symptoms). I was excited to test this morning but was a BFN. So I was wondering the same thing if Covid is delaying my cycle. I don’t feel pregnant but also don’t feel like I’m going to get my period either! I’m also triple vaccinated. Fingers crossed you get a BFP when you test tomorrow! X

Just thought I would update managed to get hold of a FRER earlier than I thought. Stark negative - am heartbroken. In 17 months of TTC I have never been late and have never not had pre AF spotting. My only thought is covid has done something despite me getting it way after my positive OPK. So sad and angry :-( there's a tiny glimmer in me that says my test wasn't with FMU but it was a FRER so at 15DPO regardless of hold it would be positive if I was pregnant :-(

I was thinking of you - so sorry to hear that. I can understand how upset you are & it’s such a disappointment to get a negative after raising your hopes. Still no sign of AF for me so I imagine Covid may have do something to do with it? Time is on your side so I really hope you soon get the BFP you long for. Sending FlowersCake
