I think we'll actually not try this month...we're going on vacation with a group of friends to Vegas in March and I'd rather not be pregnant while we're there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-605112 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 10:01:30 +0000 lavender 605112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sophia: aww too bad about your BFN...have fun trying this month :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-604724 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 08:14:46 +0000 Sophia 604724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy Friday everyone! My instinct was right, I'm definitely not pregnant. My period showed up this morning.</p> <p>@MamaCate: I think we'll keep at the NTNP for awhile, and see where we end up! I am definitely interested in temping, so if we don't end up pregnant within a few months, I'll probably start doing it :) I'm not sure how far along you are now (or if you've already had the baby!), but congratulations on your BFP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-603750 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 22:06:44 +0000 MamaCate 603750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sophia: Any update?</p> <p>Just as a note on the temping, I had the same concerns but just felt so confused not knowing what was going on that it helped me feel like i had more control. Not that temping was that much better, as fertility friend and i disagreed about when I had ovulated the next month. I didn't test until like CD35 because I was convinced it was the same thing again, but there was the BFP!</p> <p>If NTNP is working for you I think it is less stressful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-599406 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:50:20 +0000 Sophia 599406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will definitely keep you all posted! You've been great, I appreciate all of your replies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-599365 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:43:17 +0000 LuLu Mom 599365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sophia: Keep us posted! (and I completely understand about the temping, I decided to not to temp because I can become a little obsessive and didn't think that was the best thing for my body!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-599354 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:41:57 +0000 jedeve 599354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 9 days late bfp is nursing on my lap right now! I was never late either, and got "inconclusive" results from a blood test at 8 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-599312 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:34:50 +0000 katbridg 599312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please keep us posted! I was crampy the day my period was due and felt like it was coming at any minute....but it never did. And now I feel absolutely nothing. I haven't re-tested. I'm going to hold out until tomorrow morning (14dpo). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-599081 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 08:39:21 +0000 Sophia 599081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: Thank you! I'm pretty sure that's what's going on here, too. I'm feeling a bit crampy this morning, so I think my period might show up any minute. I think we're going to keep trying the NTNP thing for awhile before I start temping...I can see myself getting a bit too obsessive about it ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-599072 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 08:29:42 +0000 MamaCate 599072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sophia: i just wanted to offer my alternate experience. My third cycle off bc after consistent 28 day cycles, went 35 days. I kept thinking i was pregnant but kept getting negative tests until period showed up on cd35. This cycle convinced me to temp but i ended up with a bfp the next month! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-599058 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 08:22:23 +0000 Sophia 599058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: I'm pretty sure you're right. I am just so used to being super regular, so this is really throwing me. I feel quite certain that I'm not pregnant...I'm just not a very patient person when it comes down to it, I suppose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-599055 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 08:19:59 +0000 Grace 599055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My guess is that you are having a lon cycle. I had 10 months of perfect 30 day cycles and then a freak one of 44 days. If you aren't temping, there's no way to know. It's possible that you are just checking too early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-599051 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 08:16:11 +0000 Sophia 599051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still negative and no period this morning. Argh. I'll make an appointment tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-598881 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 00:06:48 +0000 Mrs. Bum 598881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took 2 tests both read negative, I was 7-9 days late, went to the obgyn and wouldn't you know it...pregnant. Def set up an appointment, stress alters the test results </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-598495 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:24:56 +0000 Sophia 598495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I feel pretty certain that I'm not pregnant and my body is just torturing me a little bit, but I keep hearing stories like yours that make me doubt myself! </p> <p>I'm hesitant to talk to any friends or my mom and sister about it, so it's nice to have all of you! I'd like to keep it under wraps til I'm past the first trimester if I actually am pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-598488 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:21:46 +0000 Sophia 598488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.janedoe: I'm pretty certain I did ovulate, but I suppose anything is possible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-598474 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:18:06 +0000 Turd Ferguson 598474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally playing devil's advocate, but is it possible O got delayed/are you sure you actually did O? I only ask as I had quite a few times where I was testing like crazy only to find out I never Oed...lame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-598467 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:14:48 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 598467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sophia: I tested negative at first and didn't get a BFP until about 10 days after my missed period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-598441 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:02:39 +0000 Sophia 598441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katbridg: I've been using FRER, but might be worth it for you to try! Isn't it nerve wracking?! I'm going to try to hold off on testing again until Friday if my period doesn't show up. If nothing either way on Friday, I'll call my doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-598255 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 18:07:54 +0000 Apex 598255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It might be time to go in to your OB/GYN, they usually have you come in for a blood test if you're up to a week late... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-598112 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 17:12:22 +0000 blackbird 598112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could have ovulated a week late but if not, it's really uncommon to be that late and not be pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-598085 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 16:59:22 +0000 katbridg 598085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is crazy but I'm sort of in the same boat. I'm 2 days late but I'm NEVER late but I got a BFN this AM. I'm going to wait a few more days and test again. I used a Clear Blue Digital--I'm wondering if i should try a FRER instead?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-597736 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 15:11:18 +0000 lovehoneybee 597736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL never got positives on HPTs. Both of her pregnancies had to be confirmed by a blood test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-597645 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 14:43:08 +0000 littlek 597645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend didn't get a BFP until about a week after her missed period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-597638 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 14:41:56 +0000 Sophia 597638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: Nothing too stressful going on, luckily! And no new workout routine, either. Life is actually pretty normal right now!</p> <p>@LuLu Mom: @rachiecakes: I feel like this might happen more often than we think! Now that I've started looking into it, it seems like many don't get BFPs till a week or so after their missed periods. How weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-597618 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 14:34:30 +0000 rachiecakes 597618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: same as me!<br /> I tested to a BFN and went to Atlantic City for my best friend's 30th only to come home to a BFP! It was getting close to 10 days past the date I expected my period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-597597 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 14:25:55 +0000 LuLu Mom 597597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I got 3 negatives up until 6 days after period (no idea what my O date was because I wasn't tracking) and I saw a very faint line (DH said he didn't see it). And then the next day it was a brighter line, so really didn't get a positive until day 7 after missed period and never got a positive on a digital! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-597592 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 14:23:36 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 597592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything stressful going on, or have you started a new workout regimen or something? I think you'd see something right now by now if you really were pregnant. Of course, there's always the small chance you ovulated late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-days-late-still-testing-negative#post-597582 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 14:19:17 +0000 Sophia 597582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all - I'm sure many bees have posted either this exact question before, or have asked a similar question...so I apologize for that! </p> <p>I'm currently 5 days late. I took a test this morning as soon as I got out of bed, and it was negative. We're talking 'there is absolutely not even the idea of a second line there' negative. I've been off BC since May, and we just started NTNP in January. Since I've been off BC, I have actually been more regular than I was while on it. I haven't been late once. If anything, I'm usually a day early.</p> <p>So, I guess I'm wondering if any of you have tested around this time, had negative pregnancy tests...and still ended up with a BFP a few days later? I won't be heartbroken if I'm not pregnant, I was actually hoping it wouldn't happen until after March ;) I'm just more annoyed that my body is messing with me like this! </p>
