FF doesn't seem all that confident about where your CH are placed, and it looks like you could have O'ed on CD32, 33, or 34, which could put you at 14dpo today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-elusive-18dpo#post-441076 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:53:05 +0000 mango.sprays 441076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace: I feel like I've read on here before that some tests that Drs. offices use aren't actually as sensitive as some of the store bought kinds? I think?</p> <p>Either way, hoping that you an answer soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-elusive-18dpo#post-441054 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:42:52 +0000 thismustbetheplace 441054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: @Mrs.Someone: Her schedule is really light today and she's suuuuper nice :) and yes, working here has its benefits (and downfalls!)</p> <p>I'm really 99.9% sure this is a negative cycle. I just wish I had something conclusive (aka AF) Thanks for your thoughts ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-elusive-18dpo#post-441053 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:42:33 +0000 Alivoo01 441053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace: I received a BFP that many DPO, however, it resulted in a loss. Not what you wanted to hear, I'm sorry! I'm crossing my fingers for you for a positive outcome!</p> <p>Must be nice to work in OB for this reason!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-elusive-18dpo#post-441044 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:38:52 +0000 Mrs.Someone 441044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace - It must just be some sort of fluke, but I hope there is good news for you in there! How nice to be able to get a random scan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-elusive-18dpo#post-441032 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:34:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 441032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace: I'm guessing working in OB/GYN is both wonderful and horrible while TTC-- you can never take your mind off it, but then again, you have so many benefits at your fingertips, liking having the tech just scan you.<br /> Hope you get an answer soon either way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-elusive-18dpo#post-440986 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:18:45 +0000 thismustbetheplace 440986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just regular generic HCG cassettes from work (I work at an OB/GYN). I haven't done a FRER but I have been using FMU so I would really be shocked if these didn't pick anything up at this point. They were clearly negative, no matter how much I tried to pretend a line was there :)</p> <p>I may have the ultrasound tech scan me quickly over lunch and see if a sac is present. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-elusive-18dpo#post-440889 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:45:37 +0000 Foodnerd81 440889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did make it to 18 DPO once, when I was not pregnant, but my LP was 16 to 17 days normally anyway and then my period started that day. Of course, I was convinced I was pregnant, even though we were still avoiding, but nope. </p> <p>But I would say you are definitely still in the game. I've heard of people not getting their BFPs until pretty late. I got mine at 13 DPO and you could really only see it on the FRER. The Wondfos barely showed a line for a couple more days-- it was there, but so so faint unless you were squinting you would miss it. What kind of test are you using? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-elusive-18dpo#post-440855 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:36:58 +0000 Mrs.Someone 440855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace - There is a chance you had a m/c actually (and your HCG never rose much)... I made it to 16dpo, though I did get positive tests, and the tests at the doc's office was negative. Either way, "cruel joke" as I've seen it described! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-elusive-18dpo#post-440849 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:33:48 +0000 thismustbetheplace 440849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: Thats what i'm thinking too.. I just feel like my body is pulling the greatest 'fake-out!' ever. :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-elusive-18dpo#post-440839 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:30:17 +0000 Shutterbug 440839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think TCOYF says 18 temps above your coverline, so technically... but I still hope it's a BFP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-elusive-18dpo#post-440829 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:27:31 +0000 Mrs.Someone 440829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace - Hmm, your chart is a tough one. I think your O could be off a day or so, but that wouldn't make a huge difference. Unfortunately, I think today's temp dip isn't a good sign though, sorry :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-elusive-18dpo#post-440813 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:24:37 +0000 Modern Daisy 440813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend went over 3 weeks with negative tests and was actually pregnant! It was only detected via blood test at the Dr.'s office. Good luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-elusive-18dpo#post-440802 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:21:05 +0000 thismustbetheplace 440802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: I added it, thanks!<br /> BD'd on O-2 and O, which is why I held out some hope for a positive :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-elusive-18dpo#post-440786 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:16:47 +0000 Mrs.Someone 440786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace - Sorry you're frustrated :( I've never heard of someone actually going that long with BFNs. Maybe share your chart so we can chime in on if we think your O date is right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-elusive-18dpo#post-440777 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:13:08 +0000 thismustbetheplace 440777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TCOYF tells us that if we make it to 18DPO with high temps and no AF, that there is a good chance that we're pregnant. Has anyone made it to this point with a BFN? I feel like i'm going crazy. Every test i've taken has been negative. I've never had a luteal phase longer than 16 days and today is 17DPO. My temp dropped even with the cover line today, but no real signs of impending AF (I usually spot a few days prior and have very distinct cramps).</p> <p>I know it's very rare to have negative urine tests this late and actually be pregnant. It seems like most of the people i've seen on this board have had BFPs 8-12DPO. Anyone with a similar experience or a super late positive?</p> <p>my chart for reference: <a href="http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3a410b/">My Ovulation Chart</a> </p>
