Sometimes OPKs can be positive for a few days and generally you don't ovulate until it goes negative.</p> <p>Also, regardless of your LP length, implantation will still take 5-12 days and then it will take a couple more days to show up on a pregnancy test, depending on it's sensitivity. So just because your LP is normally &lt;12 days doesn't mean it would show up any faster on a pregnancy test just because you're late.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2094266 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 10:16:31 +0000 BrianaK 2094266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another negative test this morning ! https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2093773 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 20:56:09 +0000 BrianaK 2093773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After 11 months ttc with all the tests saying nothing is wrong, I'd be extremely happy with late implantation and a bfp!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2093739 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 20:42:01 +0000 BrianaK 2093739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipper2010: how do you find out if you have luteal cyst? I just had an hsg this month as well. I don't temp but I know that last month I went for an ultrasound to confirm o and then a blood test. I don't think my cm ever really dries up is usually just becomes more school glue like after o. I am planning to test tomorrow which would be 14 dpo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2093687 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 20:11:06 +0000 skipper2010 2093687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BrianaK: This happened to me last month and it was due to a luteal cyst that kept producing progesterone and kept AF away. AF came about 5 or so days late. I was temping and knew exactly when I ovulated. Are you temping? If not, it's possible you got a positive opk and your body attempted to O, but for some reason didn't at that time. Were you also tracking CM? If your CM dried up after your positive OPK then your O date is probably correct. It's also possible that you could be pregnant and implanted late. A lot of people still get negatives at 12 dpo. Only time will tell. TTC can be so darn frustrating! Keep us posted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2093279 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 15:54:06 +0000 BrianaK 2093279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the comments ladies, of course I'm hoping for Bfp but I also know my chances are slim now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2093275 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 15:52:25 +0000 BrianaK 2093275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: yep I guess so! Since I'm not feeling any symptoms I'm assuming af will show late! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2093270 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 15:51:32 +0000 BrianaK 2093270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: I usually ovulate around day 17 so my ovulation is a little late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2093250 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 15:39:49 +0000 sapphire 2093250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your LP might just be longer this month, but I also wouldn't give up hope yet and keep testing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2093237 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 15:34:01 +0000 kiddosc 2093237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BrianaK: That's a tough one then... you're just going to have to wait it out :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2093133 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 15:02:19 +0000 BandDmommy 2093133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long are your cycles? Do you ovulate very late? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2092964 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 14:10:10 +0000 BrianaK 2092964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: yes I've used opks since July. My lp is typically 10 days but has varied from 9 to 11 in the past. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2092958 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 14:08:36 +0000 BrianaK 2092958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes my average luteal phase is only 10 days. The doctor knows and hasn't seemed all that concerned. He was planning to put me on clomid along with progesterone this month to try and lengthen my lp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2092953 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 14:06:25 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2092953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BrianaK: I'm not sure I understand how you're 13 DPO but you're also 3 days late? Is your average luteal phase only 10 days? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2092950 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 14:06:03 +0000 kiddosc 2092950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BrianaK: You're 3 days late at 12dpo? That would mean a typical LP of 9 days which is pretty short. Have you used OPKs before this cycle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2092941 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 14:02:34 +0000 BrianaK 2092941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did get a positive opk on Feb 17th so I'm assuming I ovulated by the 18th. I haven't been more stressed than usual and I haven't tested since yesterday 12 dpo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2092934 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:59:27 +0000 JennyG 2092934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a whole week late last cycle. I think a good part of it was stress. I would wait a day or two and test again. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2092930 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:58:13 +0000 BSB 2092930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BrianaK: Have you been stressed lately? It could have made you ovulate late and so you might not be at 12 DPO yet. Did you confirm the O date by OPKs or temping? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2092921 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:56:14 +0000 travellingbee 2092921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would test again. No way to know other than that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2092920 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:55:57 +0000 peaches1038 2092920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BrianaK: This happened to me during my last cycle. I always have normal cycles and am never late. I was 4 days late last month and I think I used about 15 pregnancy tests. Just had to wait it out. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-on-a-late-period-but-a-negative-test-at-12dpo#post-2092918 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:55:27 +0000 Adira 2092918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you tracking your cycle at all?
