When To Test?

No period but no clear result either and freaking out...

I took a One Step test on Thurs at 11 DPO because I'm impatient :) It's not really that early for me though as I have a short luteal phase and was expecting my period (although recently LP has stretched out a tiny bit to 12 days). Looked completely negative, stark white to me so thought period was coming.

Later that afternoon, I had intense stomach pains, nothing like usual period pains. It stopped me in my tracks and literally made me cry out - I was out in the park with my son and had to come home. Lasted a little while then never came back and I wondering if this was "late" implantation?! I have had no bleeding.

If I did ovulate on the day I think, today would put me at 14 DPO and still no period or even hint of one - I usually spot before my period and nothing. In fact, noticed more mucus.

Did another test with the One Step with FMU this morning and I think I can possibly see a faint line but so worried this could be a chemical :(

I guess if my hunch about implantation could possibly be correct, it's going to take longer to get a positive test? Should I try another brand? I have a Clear Blue stashed somewhere but been reading they're not the best and a FRER(?) might be better?

Thanks for reading, this was cycle #12 for us and I'm 39 so it's very very wanted.

I know it's very, very faint but that's a line, yeah?! Scared of testing too early again but so anxious to get more comfort and confirmation!

Congratulations, that’s defintely a positive :) I’m in the exact same position as you were. I’m currently 3 days late and normally have a regular 28 day cycle. I ovulated on the 16/17th of April, so now I’m 11DPO. I did a test today and it was a BFN. I’m having tingling cramps that feel slightly different to period cramps. I’ve had a slightly pink tinge after going to the loo today and last night. I’m going to wait until Tuesday to test again. Fingers crosssed :) Congrats again! X

Update - tested this morning and it was lighter than yesterday. Also started spotting, seeing brown discharge when I wipe, so I think I might have had a chemical :( Trying to refrain from testing again until spotting stops or develops into full period/bleed.

The not knowing is killing me! Hope you're OK @KLM89@KLM89, @KLM89
