I'm late, how late did you get a postive or negative test?

[TheNobodies]

I was due on the 22nd of this month. I came of the pill around march. I had my first period a week and a half late after that which is normal. I then had my next regular which was 28 days after on the 25th may. I'm now 5 days late, took a test last nighy was negative.

I'm not worrying about it because either out come is fine. I personally think its stress, but I have been feeling sick and tired.

Feel free to share your story about the time it took you to find out

I wasn't 'late' per se, but I got pregnant on the pill so I was late for my breakthrough bleed. I missed a couple somewhere (not sure where), clearly my body took the opportunity to release an egg and bam, pregnant. After my breakthrough bleed never came (not sure why, as it's not technically a period is it?) I took a test. I was just under 4 weeks pregnant at that point and got a very faint positive.

You're right, a lot of things can cause your period to be late, such as stress, but also so can pregnancy :) Feeling nauseous was one of my very first symptoms. Many people say you don't get it until 6 weeks but I remember feeling so sick for a few days before I did the test and it's now full blow morning (or all day!) sickness. I also had lots of crampy feelings like I was about to get my period.

Good luck

I was 2 days late when I got a positive using a digital test

There are stats online somewhere about how many people got their BFP on which day in the cycle.... easy to find via google.

I think I remember some people getting a BFP 7 days or more after AF was due!

I got a bfp 7 days after AF was due... it really kept me guessing!! Now 29 weeks :) Good luck!

With DC2, I got a BFN with Clearblue Digital the day after AF due. Re-tested a week later with a Sainsbury's cheapie and the 'pink' test line was such a dark purple it was almost black! I only did the second test as one last check that I wasn't pregnant before going to the GP to find out why I was feeling so unbelievably sick and tired

Thank you for the replies, I would love to be pregnant as me and my partner are stable, just git a car and moving out soon! Nearly ready for a family. With my first I was 8 weeks and 2nd and 3rd was a day or two after period, have no babies with me.

I saw my consultant yesterday about recurrent miscarriage she said take folic acid because tests dont always work... I've had stomach cramps abit like a period, and bubbley feeling probably wind

I've had so much bad luck lossing my babies I've just git in my head that its never going to happen

I got a bfp 19 days after af was due. I took 3 tests during this time all negative. However the one I took about 10 days late the pink dye in the test window went to vertical stripes rather than horizontal, then faded to one line. That's why I thought it was negative. I'm now 28 weeks pregnant. First symptom was constipation and feeling hot and puffy with big boobys lol. I just came off the pill too so af was still settling down which was why I thought nothing of the lateness. All the best.

I didn't even suspect I was pregnant until I was six weeks gone and my test came up positive straight away.

Best of luck to you

Take vitamin D as well. They aren't sure how/why it helps with IVF success rates but know that it does. It is thought to help implantation so is suggested as a good idea for those who have suffered miscarriages. It is cheap and non-harmful so worth a go?

Ok, I will look for some Vitamin D
Going to take a test tomorrow see what it says. i would go to my doctors for a blood test but I don't have a doctors at the moment

Good luck with your test! I was over a week late before I got a feint line - now at 7 weeks! x
