17 dpo bfn and no AF! Need advice

[munchbunch]

Congratulations purplepeenut!!! You have given me some hope!! I'm 17dpo and my luteal phase is usually 11/12 days and I've had nothing but bfn's on IC's I'm going to give it a few days and test again!

I was using IC's too with bfn's. Don't give up! I gave up at 15dpo but then when my boobs kept hurting I started testing again at 18dpo. Its not uncommon to get bfns untill your more then 2 weeks late I found out. I googled late bfps like a crazy person clutching straws. Also, once your past your AF date, late bfps no longer mean your at a higher chance of a MC. You have the same chances as those people who got early bfp's. Good luck!!

I GOT A BFP!! Its still realy faint but def pink and it came up realy fast and hasnt faded that much im in shock tho it hasnt sunk in yet! I recounted and im 20dpo so i got my first bfp at 19 dpo!! And it was like an evap line! I just want you all to remember that you CAN get a late bfp! Dont give up hope! My hubby dosnt believe it, he's in shock 2 lol. Well it has been over 3 years ttc! Im super nervous that its so faint! I feel like theyll just disapear! Omg ive never had a bfp!! Good luck ladies! You all deserve the darkest bfp!!

Hey purplepeenut..Congrats!! I just found this thread and I am in a similar situation. I am dpo16 with no sign of AF with a bfn on dpo 15. I have never been 3 days late EVER. I am not testing again until Wednesday(dpo18) so it's interesting to know that you didn't get yours until dpo 20. It is so ironic b/c I have been TTC for 6 months then found out I had submucosal fibroids and just had a laparscopic/hysteroscopic myomectomy on 1/18th. I am NOT supposed to be TTC yet so part of me is scared and part of me wants a bfp(of course). That would be just my luck to get knocked up after 1 time all month of unprotected sex after all of our trying for the last 6 months!! Well, will keep ya posted if you're interested..Good luck to you and my have a H&H 9 months!

oh you poor thing dpo 16 is still early if you think of my bfp four days later! Did you know when you ovulated? Maybe it was a bit later then you thought? I hope its not dangerous to get a bfp after your laparscopic/hysteroscopic myomectomy! Its sounds like you've been through alot. I'm realy greatful that I only had PCOS as it could always be worse. I know its frustrating all the waiting, its like your life is on hold. The upside I can see is that all the TTC makes you an expert on fertility and you understand what's happening during your pregnancy alot better. Let me know how it goes. Do you have any symptoms? I had swollen sore boobs which is incredibly unusual for me and all my normal pms symptoms (nipple tenderness, irritability, excessive hunger) all just vanished right after I felt some cramping which i'm looking back on as implantation. Do you have your normal pms symptoms?? I'm hoping for you

Hi,

I got a +opk on cd12 so I probably ovulated that day or a day or 2 after. I started my usual pre-af spotting on CD23(I usually have 25/26day cycles) and then it stopped on CD26 and now nothing. I don't feel crampy or anything. My boobs aren't sore. The only thing I have had is some nausea which is weird for me but maybe it is all in my head? I really don't have any other pregnancy type symptoms and weirdly no af symptoms. Just nada! So I am so LAME and I caved and tested just now..BFN again. Maybe my cycle is off from the myomectomy? Keep us posted on how you do!

 

[PinkLove22]

Well I am at 16 DPO and still getting BFN

I'm pretty sure I've lost hope and the witch will come any day now.

I got a positive OPK on 2/10 so I must of ovulated the next day or a few days later. I haven't been temping and if AF shows I will start trying that.

Ahhhh I hate the limbo stage

I don't want to get you down but is it possible you didn't ovulate? The opk's only predict the surge of hormone that leads up to ovulation and you can have the surge without ovulating. I found that out after I thought I was ovulating but I wasn't It does sound like you had implantation spotting tho. I'd say give it time and you still could get a bfp!! you cant be far past implantation and I implanted on 7dpo and I had to wait 12/13 days for a bfp!! its crazy but some women just dont have as much hcg in the urine because there body metabolises it slightly different. Some don't have any at all and never get a bfp! Maybe wait a few days and get a blood test. No symptoms is good news! at least your AF isn't coming!! My pms symptoms stopped realy fast at 12dpo and then nothing untill my boobs began aching on 15dpo but so slightly for a few days I thought it was from doing pushups lol It wasnt untill 17/18 dpo that I susptected it was a symptom. Can you get a blood test in the next few days?

I lost hope at 16dpo too. Its because everyone gets bfps so early on here!!! Do you have pms symptoms? how late is your AF?

 

[Scrumptious]

Scrumptious,
Did you get AF or are you still getting bfns? I realy hope its a bfp for you!! I think early bfp's are made to sound like the usual but doctors always say if you don't get a bfp on the day of your AF then you should test in a week which is 21DPO so it can't be that unusual to get a late bfp. I think it all has somthing to do with the way your body metabolises the hcg. Good luck!! let me know how it goes

thank you

still no sign of AF and i didn't test this morning. will prob grab some hpts in town this afternoon and test later tonight or in the morning...cos i'm really restless and just want to know!

good grief i'm a week late!

I know how you feel! I tested for 11 days but I was ambitious starting to test at 9dpo I hope u get a bfp so bad! its so frustrating I know but I used to tell myself I was building up my tolerance to stress and frustration lol. I'm sure that'll be useful come parenthood. good luck! i'm hoping for you!!

Thanx so much I'm sooo happy its crazy its only just sinking in. I keep going back and looking at my test like i'd imagined it. hubby was quiet all day and I was worried that even after all this time he wasn't ready for it but then I brang it up and reassured him it was going to go ok and said in a week or so we might be able to hear the heartbeat and he had the bigest smile. Now he can't be quiet about it! I think he was just to scared to let himself be happy about it because it seems to good to be true! I know i'm rambling lol haven't been able to be quiet all day. Its so nice to have people on this msg board who understand the frustration we go through because they apreciate what a positive test means so much more then people who get pregnant easily or by accident!

Hey Hunni, just read through your thread and got a little butterfly at the I GOT A BFP section! congratulations

How many days late were you when your got your bfp?

Im not sure if/when i Ovulated this month as i gave up charting as it was to stressful but AF is now 3-4 days late

Im not sure if/when i Ovulated this month as i gave up charting as it was to stressful but AF is now 3-4 days late

I always get my AF at 14 dpo and I got the faintest bfp on 19dpo but i was convinced it was an evap line because it even disapeared after the time limit was over. Then I got a faint but clear bfp on 20 dpo. So I was 5-6 days late and its still realy faint at 7 days after AF should have showed. When I was looking up late bfps I found one woman who didnt get hers untill 8 weeks!! thank god that wasn't me I would have gone crazy. Just don't give up

Hello ladies,

So I have a question for you. I am DPO 18, CD 32(normal cycles are 27days at most). I forgot to mention that I had to take a month of estrogen pills after my myomectomy and I finished them on 2/18th so the doctor said that they can be throwing my cycle off. So now my body is totally wacked.

I had some EWCM the last 2 days and then what I call my "ovulation pain" on my right side so for kicks I did an OPK last night and got a smiley face. How bizarre is that? I had a + opk on CD12(with a negative one on CD11) so did I ovluate twice within 2 weeks of each other?? Or did my body not ovulate the first time? Oh well, here is hoping AF shows up soon so I can get to baby making!!

hi
OPK's only predict the hormone surge before ovulation so its possible on the first test you had the surge but for some reason didn't ovulate. Temping is the only way to know for sure if you ovulated. Wish I could give you a better answere but I used to just always when I had EWCM. If you ovulate you'll get you AF about 12-16 days later. If your AF's late it means you ovulated late or your preggers. On rare occassions it can be because your body is still making to much progesterone but if thats the case your doc will be able to tell you. So if you did ovulate you should get AF or be preggers Stress etc won't delay AF it can only delay ovulation. Good luck I hope you get your cycles under control. Look into Agnus castus (vitex) because it regulated mine within weeks and I could go without a cycle for 6 months!! I hope you find somthing that works for you 2

 

[gettinginfo]

Thanks purplepeenut! That was very helpful info. So maybe I will get af in about 11 days or so(I have shortish luteal phase). I will definitely look into the agnus castus as well!
