Cryptic Pregnancy

Hiya all.
I'm new. I'm looking for the experiences of anyone who has had a cryptic pregnancy (aka you didn't know you were pregnant for some or all of you pregnancy).
Apparently 1 in 450 women don't find out their pregnant until they're 20 weeks or more along, which is a lot more than I had expected.
So I'm trying to get some input from anyone who has experienced one.
If you had one, please tell me:

How far along were you when you finally found out?
Did you suspect you might be pregnant before you found out?
Had you had negative pregnancy tests before finally finding out? And if so was that just negative urine tests or also negative blood tests?
Did you have pregnancy symptoms before you found out, and if so which ones?
Was your pregnancy and baby still healthy despite the low hcg levels?
And finally, was the pregnancy still a normal 9 month length (as far as you know? 'Cos apparently cryptic pregnancy can extend the pregnancy.

Sorry for all the questions but I would REALLY appreciate any input from anyone who has experienced cryptic pregnancy. Obviously answering all questions would really help, but even if you only want to answer some of them, that's fine too. Thank you so much.

And for anyone wondering who doesn't know what a cryptic pregnancy is, here's a link I found :) lifestyle.one/closer/diet-body/health-fitness/cryptic-pregnancy-happens/

Hi all,

We're just popping on to say that we have no reason to doubt the OP here. If you ever have uncertainties, please just report instead of posting them on the boards - we know from experience that this can really upset a genuine OP.

Thanks Flowers
