    A quick question

    On wednesday i was 11 days past ovulation and decided to try do a test. It came out negative.

    It is now 2 days past my period due date and it has not arrive just yet. Is there any point in doing another test so soon as do i take the negative to be a negative now?

    Also last trimester my period came 2 weeks late so i dont want to get my hopes up... but i did have a miscarriage before that period so that could explain why it was a bit late.

    This round at about 5 days past ovulation i seem to have the tiniest of tiniest spotting which seemed like implantation bleding but again i didnt want to look to much into it. Other than i have had no symptoms. But just recently since wednesday night i have been feeling a bit off every now and then, a bit more tired than usual, and also felt really sick at the smell of food sometimes, and noticed the urge to wee a bit more. Also i just had a nanna nap aboiut 30 mins ago, and right now i feel absolutely terrible. Really off and sick in the tummy. AGAIN, not looking to much into it as its to horrible to get my hopes up.

    When you say Wed was 11DPO & you're now 2 days late, do you normally have 11 day LP? If so, then based on your symptoms, test again, unless you don't think you can handle a BFN, then wait a few more days.

    I have a 10-12 day LP and got a BFP at 14DPO - didn't test earlier, but had symptoms from 4DPO. Are these symptoms similar to your last pg?

    Hey tashybaby,

    im 13 days past ovulation now, so on wed was 11 days past ovulation. According to my chart my period was due yesterday but never showed. I dont know what my cycle is like off the pill as i fell pregnant straight away, but mc a few weeks later.

    Yes the symptoms i have are same as last pregnancy... but again i just dont want to look into it to much.

    I want to test again tomorrow, but was not sure if there was any point so soon (3 days after doing last test) as would it make any difference being 3 days later?

    I was thinking of just waiting and seeing if period comes... but that could be another week or two and that would be really hard! I was thinking of testing early next week as surely thats enough time for hcg levels to rise if i was pregnant?

    But wanted to check first if there is any point testing after getting a negative already?

    up to you, but I'd test again tomorrow (but I'm a POAS-aholic & I'd test tonight actually). 14DPO is usually good to test - just use a good one. FRER are usually accurate.

    Is FRER first response? I use first response and have heard that is really good?

    If i get a negative this time can i take it that im not preggers this time around..?

    I just took a test and it came up negative again. Surely now i can realise that im not pregnant, today is 13days past ovulation.

    Summer I hope you find out what is going on with that body of yours poor darling.
    If AF doesn't show over the weekend i'd get a BT to find out for sure on monday.
    I hope all works out for you and you get your healthy BFP very soon x

    hope it works out for you. I'm confused as how you'd know how long your cycle/LP should be off the pill, if you haven't had a "normal" cycle. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you came off the piil, got pregnant, had a m/c . The first cycle after mc is often whacky, as things sort themselves out. You'll need more recorded cycles before you can accurately work out what yours is doing. I take it you're temping? Are you getting a clear rise to indicate ovulation? Are you 100% sure when you ovulated?

    You may just need to wait and see. Keep temping (if you are) - a continued temp rise is a good indicator that you may be pg. You can't rule out being pg until your period arrives - that's what makes the TWW so frustrating.

    FRER are First response. It's always better to test with FMU (first morning urine) as it's more concentrated, more accurate and you don't waste tests.
