BFN but still no AF 4 days late

I think I probably already know the answer but I guess I'm looking for any hope!

I am usually very regular (25-26 day cycle) I previously tracked ovulation and would ovulate late in my cycle (around day 16) but I haven't been tracking for past few months so I am not sure when I ovulated.

I am currently 4 days late (day 30) which is super unusual for me. I have been testing using the Superdrug early response tests since my period was due and they are all very much a BFN! Tested again this morning and not even the faintest line 😭

I could list all of the early pregnancy symptoms I'm feeling but I'm guessing they are probably in my head ☹️

Has anybody ever tested negative so many days AF due and actually been pregnant?

I'm guessing I'm at least 14 DPO so think a test would show positive at this stage ☹️

I feel you! I’m in the exact same boat, but I track on 2 different apps. Fertility friend says I’m 4 days late, but Flo says I’m 6 days late??🥲

Flo is usually spot on with predicted periods and I’m typically regular, so this is a first for me but all tests are negative 😫

Ah @TheDaringLilacGuide it's so tough isn't it 😫

I'm torn between desperately wanting my period to start so we can try again in a nrw cycle, to holding out the tiniest hope that I'll get my BFP this time

Keep me updated x

It really is! 🤥

I saw another post saying they had negatives all the way up to a bfp on 17 days late 😭😭

keep me update also x

Could be various things - late ovulation which means late period, stress, not eating enough, too much exercise, illness etc.

Yup, I think it's probably one of those things. I'm just holding on to the very slim hope that it's actually because I'm pregnant😫 but would no doubt be showing even a faint line at this stage!

I've started with cramps and nausea this morning so thinking AF may appear soon 😭

I’m in a similar boat. I’m 3/4 days late now. I had cramping at 7-9 dpo which eased off (I was hoping it was implantation as I’ve never experienced that before). I had cramping on the day AF was due and day before (I’m very regular). It’s stopped now but still bfn. I didn’t test today as I’ve basically given up and feel like I’m just wasting tests. I just want AF to arrive so we can move on to the next cycle!

Any of those things can delay ovulation. It can take up to year to get pregnant, even longer if the couple have particular health issues. I had issues with ovulation.

I know exactly what you mean! It's so hard waiting but the quicker AF arrives, the quicker we can move on to next cycle!

Sending you lots of hugs! X

I didn’t test positive until 5 days late (18DPO). The day before was BFN. The first two tests I did after a big glass of water in the middle of the day. Make sure you’re testing a first morning sample, hold the stick in for 20secs, only look after 3 minutes on the timer. Fingers crossed that you get a positive xx

WaitingForLittleSunflower · 03/02/2025 08:24

Thanks for your reassuring message @Pinkflamingo77 🙏

I had cramps in the night so fully expecting to wake up to AF but that's not happened although have all other PM symptoms so she must be on her way!

I did another test just to torture myself and still a BFN.

Just want AF to arrive now to move on to next cycle!

How are you getting on @GigglySquids x

Sounds so similar! Im usually really regular so this is so unusual.

I'll see what today brings!

Tested this morning and another BFN. No signs of AF either. I wish it would hurry up!

@WaitingForLittleSunflower Just an update. AF arrived this afternoon. I was just pondering trying a different brand of test, so quite good timing. Onwards to the next cycle.

Ah I'm sorry to hear that, but glad you can now move on to next cycle :) lots of luck for this one!

AF not yet arrived for me but can very much feel it's on its way 😕

I spent a fortune on amazon earlier on different brands of tests! Want to be more prepared for next time 🙃😅

Sorry to hear hun, but good luck on the next cycle! 🫶

Another very faint positive this morning, but I've also started bleeding, ringing the gp asap as it looks like a chemical pregnancy 😭
