Just adding this thread for others who may be in the same situation as me. I have spent the last week trolling the internet for answers/hope.
We hadn’t been actively ttc, but had discussed starting ttc early in the new year. So we also weren’t really not ttc!
Firstly (I’m still not sure if this makes sense) but 5 days before af was due, I just had a random feeling I was pregnant! So I wasn’t surprised at all when af didn’t appear!
i began noticing symptoms (bit of nausea, watery mouth, v tired, peeing a lot). So after af was 7 days late I confidently tested, and was shocked by bfn.
ive never had any experience with this before, so decided to look online. After many hours of scrolling and trying to learn the terminology I was more confused than when I started! How late can you be and still get a bfp?!
I tried various makes of hpt, all bfn. When af was 13 days late, I thought I may have had a very faint line, but convinced myself it wasn’t.
But when af was 16 days late (cd44) I got a bfp (actually I got 4 as I did a few more just to double check).
