How late in my cycle can I get BFN and still be hopeful??

[Kess]

With my first two pregnancies I knew I was pregnant several days before AF was due as I was feeling queasy, and I took tests a few days early with positive results. Both times I was pregnant first cycle of NTNP.

This time TTC, last month I got some implantation spotting at 10DPO, some symptoms, and AF was two days late (I'm never late), so I'm wondering if v v v early MC?

This month, DH and I dtd on O-1 and O, and I'm now on day 26. I POAS this morning and yesterday morning, both BFN. AF usually due day 27, but I'm having no symptoms of any kind - not PMT or pregnancy!

I don't know if I can still hope for a BFP if I'm still getting BFNs this late on in the TWW?

your are not out until the witch gets you. Every pregnancy is different.

As they say you aren't out until the fat lady sings or in this case the shows her face.

Test again in a few days if af doesn't show up.

Glad u asked, I just found this information and I want to share:

"hCG doubles every 48 hours. You can have a level of 1 - 5 in a non pregnant state.

Implantation could belater than you think.

If a woman implants at 8dpo, with a 'non pregnant' hCG level of 1 [Which is totally normal] it would rise as follows

8dpo - 1miu hcg
10dpo - 2miu
12dpo - 4miu
14dpo [Day AF is typically due] - 8miu
16dpo - 16miu

So this lady wouldn't finnd out until 15dpo on a very senstive 10miu pregnancy test, superdrug own or possibly asda own. Obviously if she implants LATER than 8dpo [which is normal] she will find out even later.

Now, Take a lady who implants at 8dpo, But has a'Non pregnant' hCG level of 5. Hers looks like this;

8dpo - 5miu
10dpo- 10miu - Could find out here on superdrug own, internet cheapie
12dpo - 20miu - Could find out here with freedom cheapie strip/most poundland tests and asda own]
14dpo - 40miu [day period is typically due] Most tests would pick it up here

So, This lady, Even though implantation is on the same say for both ladies, Can find out MUCH sooner. Now, If this lady were to implant at 6dpo she could potentially find out at just 8dpo. But if the first lady were to implant at 12dpo, She would find out even later, Even if they have the same cycle and OV days!
