I've asked about this in another section, but there aren't any takers!

I've been taking B6 to lengthen my LP. It was 9 days, now it's 17 so far. Yesterday's pee stick was so negative I was barely graced with the negative sign. =P Today I had another temperature jump, and still no AF. (My chart is below.)

Here's my question: What is the latest you've or you've heard of someone getting a positive pregnancy test back? Almost everywhere I see says "14 DPO" or day after missed period. In a couple places it said 16 DPO, but those are weird 3% ladies. =P

Do you think there's a possibility that I am, or is this just the B6 working way too well?

B6 can do that. It just happened to a dear friend of mine as well. It's her first cycle taking B6 and she just got AF after an 18 day LP. Most people don't experience such a dramatic increase in their LP, but it can happen. Of course, there's definitely a chance of being pg too! Some women don't get their BFP's until 19 or 20 DPO...and some women have no luck with urine tests at all.

I would test at 19 DPO just to check, then call the doctor for a blood test. Good luck!

ditto Shawna. My friend never had a positive urine test w/ her first pregnancy. If AF doesn't show up in the next couple days I would call your Doc for a blood test. Good Luck!

I know I've seen a number of charts on FF that didn't get their BFP til later. You can search through charts and select the keyword "Late HPT +>15 dpo" and it will show you all kinds of charts of women who took a while getting their BFP.

I think testing again in a couple of days and then calling the doc is a good idea.

I hope you just have a shy bean in there!!

I just finished checking out those charts on FF, Coley. Thanks for telling me about them. A lot were very similar, right down to the spotting, temp dips, and temp increases. Right now, I am just hoping I don't have one of those progesterone-forming cysts. =P

I'll probably check with the doctor if it goes more than 38 days, and I have not gotten positive HPT.

I agree with testing again at 19-20DPO and then requesting a blood test. I never had a positive urine test with my oldest (b/w confirmed at 12 weeks pregnant) and didn't get a positive until 18 weeks with my second (never did b/w). If you need b/w to confirm the sooner you get it the better so you can receive proper prenatal care.

Do you have anything going on to make you think about a cyst? Any pain in your side or anything like that?

Glad I could help. It's nice to see charts that look like yours... helps you to not feel quite so "odd". LOL!

I have no pain at all. I barely have cramps, and most of those are gas. For some reason I am suddenly constipated even though I make sure to drink 12+ cups of water a day. =P The only reason that I was thinking cyst was because I went looking on Google for long LP reasons. Do not diagnose yourself with Google! LOL

I know it! =) A couple of ladies on there are my charting heros at the moment. I really think a lot of them don't put the negative tests. They just suddenly decided to test on day 23 and get a positive? I kind of doubt that.

Your chart does look promising. I would wait out the weekend and test again, then like the girls said, see a DR if AF doesnt show you are still getting negative POAS. GL girl!!! I am rooting for you!

Oh I think you're totally right!! I'm thinking it's bad enough that they have to keep seeing the negatives, they don't wanna see them every time they look at their chart, ya know?

But yeah... they totally make you feel better to know that there are loads of other "odd" charts out there.

I think you're pregnant!! Constipation is a sign, gas is a sign... I think you are just having trouble getting a stick to show it. Your temps are fantastic!! I would be astounded if you weren't pregnant!!!

Do y'all trust Equate +/-? That's what I used, and I get some conflicting reports about it.

I've heard a lot of bad things about those. I'd try an FRER if you can. You do have a lot of early pregnancy symptoms and your temp really is fantastic.

I have used Equate before. I don't think it is as sensitive as FRER but it is a decent test. Your chart is still looking good. I am crossing fingers for a bfp too!

LOL I don't have any tests here. My hubby bought an Equate 3 pack, but I had to bribe him for those. They are all used up. I'll see about getting a FR today. If the temp is a pregnancy increase, it should work. I can save the other for a few days from now. I'll try to post in a little bit. =)

Make sure to hold it without drinking anything for 4 hours before you use the test so it's the equivalent of FMU. Good luck!

Just took a test, but I had to pee long before the 4 hour mark. I couldn't help it! =P BFN I will test tomorrow, and on 21 or 22 DPO.
