So I'm 23 dpo but only 3 days late (35 day cycle) I had a bfn yesterday but I'm never this late anymore use to be all the time but I think I just didn't know when I started back then or how my cycle acted. I have all sorts of pregnancy symptoms including spotting at 12 dpo, I've only had symptoms like this once and that was my first pregnancy that I lost a week later. But back then I never spotted, is it possible that I could still be pregnant? I used a dollar tree test do you think I just got a false negative? I have heard of some women being pregnant and never getting a bfp, is it possible it's just not showing up yet? I know it's probably a long shot but I really hope it was just a false negative.

I don't want to give false hope but I'd say it's possible.. Do you have a possibility of getting a blood test? In here it's a custom that if you have had pregnancy symptoms and you suspect there's been 3 weeks of the ovulation you get a blood test at the health care center.. that's the most reliable way to know.. But as I've told someone else in here as well my cuz tested BFN as late as on her 9th week so I'd say it's possible.. She finally got BFP on week 10.. how she managed to go the week without testing I don't know

Other than the hospital I don't know of anywhere that'd do a blood test here, our clinic only does dollar tree tests, I think even the hospital does hpt. And I have no clue of any doctors here except kids and specialty. The only gyn in town disappeared a few years ago. So I don't know what to do except wait and hope.

Okay, so if you are three days late, then you were expecting your period at about 20 dpo? What are you using to track your ovulation? The reason I ask is because a woman generally ovulates about two weeks before the start of her period, give or take a couple of days. In fact, there is one school of thought that basically says you can consider yourself pregnant if you make it past 18 dpo without a period.

So since you haven't had a period and your tests are negative, I think you ovulated later than you thought. Unfortunately, the only real way to confirm ovulation at home is by charting your temperature.

If you ARE charting and you're sure that you ovulated 23 days ago, then it's definitely time to get a blood test. But I think the odds are good that you just ovulated later than expected. This means, of course, that you could still have gotten pregnant--just later so it wouldn't show up yet.

I know how hard the waiting is. I hope you get some answers soon!

I spot for two days when I ovulate, so I ovulated on the 7th and mine is about 16 days after my period, I might be more than 3days late. I was supposed to start thursday, typically I spot the day before I start. I thought the spotting at 12 days after I spotted at the beginning of the month was my period starting but I haven't seen anything since. And the day after I spotted is when the pregnancy symptoms started. My body is weird use to I only had cramps when I ovulated but now I spot and when I checked the date when it added up right with my last period. Last period was march 23rd ovulated on the 7th which is about 15 days from my last period. I'm not sure how many days after I ovulate that I actually start, all I know is I ovulate around 16 days after my last period. But I track my period using an app and is said according to how my cycle normally is I should've started Thursday. (might be 30-33 day cycle, I checked my app and was wrong about 35)
