I had my last period at the end of July. My cycles are always around 32-35 days, possibly longer if I’m stressed. Next period was due start of September. We weren’t trying, but also not using any contraception.
Anyway, period didn’t appear, did two tests a few days apart the start of September, both negative. That was fine, based on when we DTD in August I was pretty sure I couldn’t be pregnant. I just assumed it was another long cycle, thought no more of it and figured AF will appear at some stage.
By Sept 21st AF still hasn’t turned up and I did another test because I hadn’t a clue what was going on. It was positive. We DTD Sept 3rd and 16th that I remember, possibly once more in between those dates, but because I’d had the negative tests I wasn’t really paying attention.
By pure luck I was able to get a private scan on the same day as I got the BFP, which showed no pregnancy sac. The radiographer said one ovary looked to be polycycstic and looked to have ovulated recently, and the lining of my womb was thick and looked receptive to a pregnancy, but she couldn’t see anything definite. This was an internal scan. She advised me to come back a week later (Sept 29th), which I did, and there was a sac at that point. She thought I was about 3 weeks at that stage, and has told me to come back at 4 weeks.
I’m just confused as to when I could have conceived. If I ovulated just before the 21st Sept, I’d be thinking I got pregnant after DTD on the 16th. But is that not very early to get a BFP? It was a basic clear blue test. And surely if it was from Sept 3rd, I’d hardly look like I’d just ovulated on a scan on Sept 21st?!
If you made it this far, thank you!
