At 5 days late twice my positive test came up before the control line. At 9 days late in usual circumstances you would have a clear positive but I do know 2 people who had repeated negative tests and they only turned positive after getting tests at the GP at 4 and 5 months pregnant!
When did you get your positive test with your daughter? Maybe test again in another 2-3 days or speak to your GP to see if they would run a blood test?

It might be that certain clinics run through different connected GP surgeries. My partner has this. We are closest to gp A but he gets his bloods done at gp B and sees the Dr at a third practice! He's seeing a GP with a specialism in what they are investigating. It has been an advantage as the Dr he is seeing has joined up the dots on a list of things he has seen the GP about separately over 10 years but they had been treating each complaint as completely separate problems.

I digress, I hope you get the answers from the blood tests.

Unless you ovulated extremely late/ have your dates wrong etc, it would be highly unusual to get multiple negative results from a variety of different pregnancy tests

It says am next ovulating 1st October but I ovulated beginning of September as well and says the next few days am fertile apparently medium/high chance of getting pregnant just don't know what to believe with period so late and dates are correct I had a one day period 20th August and that's all I've had

Likely you ovulated late this cycle, or haven't ovulated yet at all. Keep having sex every couple of days in case you do!
My latest cycle was randomly over 50 days long. Luckily I do bbt so I knew I hadn't ovulated and we kept on having sex regularly. Eventually I ovulated on day 35 and I got a positive pregnancy test on day 50. If I didn't do bbt, I would have been testing when my period was due, on day 29, but this cycle on day 29 I still had another whole week before I even ovulated!
There are plenty of reasons your period can be late. You just have to wait it out and keep having sex. Hopefully your blood test will shed some light on where you are in your cycle.

How are you tracking ovulation OP?

How are you tracking ovulation OP?

I've got the flo my flo/ovulation app on my phone where I put ma last period in etc this is where on calender says my fertile days and ovarlation etc x

JerryCanDo · 26/09/2024 17:22

Flo is just having a guess based on your usual cycle length - there is no way it can know for sure. You need to track bbt if you want to be sure you have ovulated. Since you don't know, I highly doubt you ovulated yet (or not more than about 16 days ago anyway as your period hasn't come yet). The luteal phase is very reliable - you always get a period around 10-16 days ovulation unless you are pregnant. It's the follicular phase (pre-ovilation) which varies, and can be randomly much longer on any given cycle, leading to delayed ovulation.

Superscientist · 26/09/2024 17:37

These apps are guides rather than gospel. Women with typical ovulation patterns with your cycle lengths will ovulate in the given window they give. You don't know that it's true for you without testing for ovulation or tracking symptoms.

sel2223 · 26/09/2024 17:52

Yes, as others have said its just a rough guide based on your average cycle length but has no way of knowing when you actually ovulate or when your most fertile days are.
The only way to do that is to physically test for ovulation with urine sticks, tracking your BBT etc

What do you mean track my bbt whats that ? And how do you do it sorry am abit thick haha. X

Bbt is basal body temperature. Around ovulation your body temperature raises slightly by tracking daily you can see trends in your body temperature and use that to predict ovulation

JerryCanDo · 26/09/2024 19:17

Yep just Google basal body temperature, there are loads of guides. You don't need to do it obviously, but if you want to know which day you ovulated there is no other way.
