Hi Angie,
Welcome to Belly Belly - definately the best pregnancy/parenting forum to join! Im sure you will find if you keep coming back you will soon be offering some great advice, and if not you will no doubt make some great friends!
Congrats on TTC. Sometimes it can take a while longer for a BFP to show up depending on the levels of pregnancy hormone in your system and also the types of tests you are using. With this pregnancy, I was using pee on a stick tests and was getting mixed results so I bought a digital test that gave me a definate YES or NO answer.
Depending how many days past ovulation (DPO) can determine if its too soon to test. As suggested there are variations in results depending what test you use. Highly recommened is the First Response brand - found at Woolworths.
Hi Angie and welcome I have been posting on here for a few months now and can tell you, this forum is absolutely awesome. I really don't think I would have any idea what I was doing without the support and help of these lovely ladies on here. Hope you find it as great as me.
Hmmmmm, negative HPT and still no AF hey? What HPT's are you using? My absolute fave is FRER (First response early response) and have found that most people that use these recommend them. Also, when are you testing? Are you testing first thing in the morning - this is when the hormone is supposed to be the strongest.
Other than that, the only thing I can tell you is that I have read of quite a few women on here who didn't get a BFP until a few days after their AF was due.
Oh and of course it isn't over until AF shows her ugly face. Best of luck Angie and please let us know how you get on
Thanks CBG See I learned a thing or two from you ladies
And Angie - I absolutely recommend the TTC thread CBG posted the link too. That thread is FULL of amazing women all going through the same thing and they are just the best ever.
