8 days late and only 1 faint line

[apt72]

My period is 8 days late and I’m repeatedly getting negative tests until last night… the faintest line, I have a blood test booked today with my GP.

My cycles range from 26-28 days, but with 5 years of tracking I’ve never gone over 29 days. I’m currently at cd35 with AF due last Wednesday or Thursday.

If I ovulated later and happen to be pregnant, the chances are conception would have been around day 24 of my cycle. (Not tracking with tests at the moment). Is this even possible to ovulate late and still succeed in conception?

I have the whole “sore breasts, mild cramp” symptoms, crazy dreams in the night too but when my period is on its way, there’s no mistaking the cramps I get from that usually 12 hours before. I’ve been waiting and waiting, but nothing.

Although I’m wishing that there could be a chance I’m pregnant, if that’s not the case - I’d really like my period to start so we can begin the next cycle of TTC.

I’ve read a few things about the possibility of ectopic and egg quality if late ovulation and I’m a little lost and confused in this limbo state of TTC. I have one living child who came up straight away on a test and also a molar pregnancy a couple of years ago, so I’m not sure that helps my worries.

Anyway, is this a line or am I going insane in the state of limbo?

That looks like an evap line to me. Hope you get some answers.

I can’t really see it tbh, but if you see it irl and if it’s a pregnancy, there’s no reason that late ovulation would mean a problem in itself? People with irregular cycles ovulate at different times, I think the important thing is that the luteal phase is long enough to support a pregnancy rather than how late it began.

ectopic would be flagged if you ovulated at a normal time and it was extremely slow rising hcg, but not specifically because you might have ovulated late. Keep testing with fmu and you’ll have an answer, but imo (obvs not medical) there’s no immediate reason to be anxious health wise.
