Negative test but no red witch yet

For the. First time in a long time I made sure we had a cuddle before during and after positive opk. Think I ovulated around CD11 which is what it always was. Had very light spotting 12/13/14/15dpo which would be CD23/24/25/26 & my cycles are usually 26 or 27 days. Last month no spotting but just a. Heavy flow on CD27. I was in town yesterday and got a 6 day early clear blue digital test. Was feeling pretty negative but just because I knew we had BD at the right time thought I'd try it. Tested last night which was CD26 but test said 'not pregnant'. CD27 now and no spotting at all all day. Surely the 6 day early test would be right. But just feel like no period or no spotting today is making me think/ HOPE I could be pregnant. I know I'll probably get the red witch tomorrow but 28 days is a bit long. Usually 27 max
What do you think?

I know, it's tragic.

You should read the conception board on here. The coy leading the coy.

I don't think I should. I don't think I could do that to myself! 😉

And yet, now I see the thread has been moved!

I shall back away very slowly...

Oh gosh, I thought she actually meant a cuddle and wondered if there was a theory that affection improves ovulation!

I thought the same! I wondered if it was a thing!

Nor do I have any idea what opk, dpo, BD or CD mean despite having had 2 children.

Actually, I'm curious now if anyone else does know...

The entirety of the conception boards and infertility boards know.

You're very lucky not to.

No idea either, why do some people make everything so complicated

It must be nice to simply have sex a handful of times and get pregnant.

For lots of us we use OPKS to track timings, to know what CD we ovulate and then track symptoms DPO, or DPT for those of us who are really unlucky.

I'm not a fan of 'BD' as a term personally, but I also think sticking 'D' in front of everyone in your life is a bit daft too, I don't come onto every single thread to comment on it though.

If you don't understand TTC terminology, just be greatful.
