Congrats to all the lucky April mommies!!! DH so wanted an April baby since he and ALL his siblings were born in April but we have obviously missed that train


I am from the TTC board, hoping and praying there is a little May bean in here. Not too much hope at this point, but who knows!

I am 12 dpo today, and still had a BFN. I have an 11 day LP. Did anyone here have a late BFP after testing around 12 dpo??

TIA!!!

I went in for my annual physical, 7DPO, they did a preg test and it was neg... but they found a UTI so they put me on abx and told me to come back in 10 days to retest... I went back 13 days later... that would have been 20DPO, they did another preg test and it was pos!
Mine was not late BUT, I did receive a negative two days before my positive. In fact, if I had not have bought a 2-pack test, then I wouldn't have tested again. 2 days later, it was an immediate positive and I only tested just to use the last test I had left over. With my last baby I wasn';t positive until a week after myperiod for some reason.
With both pregnancies, I've had to wait at least two days after my period was expected to get a BFP. I wasted lots of tests testing early though!
It was my first cycle charting, and only my second cycle off of BCP, so I don't know how long my luteal phase usually is.

However, I got a BFN at 13DPO and a BFP at 18DPO. I have wondered at what point in between it would've switched.

Ahh, the is GREAT to hear!! The end of day 12 almost, and still no AF. Keeping my fingers crossed she stays away.

actually another story of mine- with my dd (different pregnancy than the one i got a neg at 14dpo) i didnt even test at all, but was sent for a beta when i came in to an urgent care not feeling well and i got my levels back and they were like 200. i got a dating ultrasound a few weeks later (at like 8 weeks), and according to that dating u/s i was like 5 and a half weeks when i got the beta hcg done, which means that my levels were only 200 at 24dpo or something, and if they DOUBLE every 48 hrs obviously there would have been nothing there at 14dpo. i guess i am just one of those women who have really low levels in early pregnancy, because she is a healthy 17 month old now.

and actually this time i had no idea i was pregnant till 8 weeks (i had implantation bleeding that looked like a real period so i never suspected) so i wonder if i wouldve gotten a late bfp then as well.

according to that website- normal levels at 5 WEEKS from lmp can be anywhere from 18 to a few thousand. a level of 18 would not even register on most tests. i think the average is 25 for early tests.
every woman is different.

I got 2 BFN with dollar store cheapies on day 11 and 12. I retested around CD 14 with a better brand and got a positive result. Don't give up hope just yet.
