Tell me about your late BFP. I need hope!

Hi ladies. I've been posting my woes in the 2WW thread, but wanted to post here to get some more input. I had what I think was implantation bleeding just as I was going to bed at 11dpo. Today I am 13dpo and still getting a BFN with a FRER and FMU. AF is due sometime between today and Friday. I know I could just wait and will know either way in a few days, but I am going crazy wondering whether or not I could be pregnant!! I've been testing steadily since 8po and am driving myself crazy!

I have many of the usual symptoms (nausea, lots and lots of cramps - both dull af-style aches and sharp pains and a slight backache that comes and goes), but many of these could just be af on her way. I don't temp, so I don't have any other clues to use.

Has anyone here had late IB like I did, and if so, when did you get your BFP? I got my BFP at 8dpo with my twins and 11dpo with ds3...and I've never had IB before. Could it be the diet and supplements that caused such a big change (she asks hopefully)?

I've always tested few days after my af was due, worked for me 3 times - nice, obvious BFPs :agree:

I would test again on Saturday. Your symptoms are really promising, just wait a few more days :luck::luck::luck:

Thanks, Z-B. I feel like af could arrive any minute and I keep going to the bathroom to check if she's here. I don't know how you ladies wait until after af is due to test - I'm so impatient (as you can tell)!

I still have everything crossed for you Mochagirl. I've never had a BFP until quite close to the time AF is due - but I know I had implantation bleeding really early with DS2 (I think it was 5dpo) so it would have been a long time between implantation and bfp.

13dpo is still early to test, 40% of pregnant women don't get a BFP until after AF was due (14dpo for most women) according to FF so presumably would get false negatives before then

you're not out yet by any means

Thanks, ladies. I'm still praying that was really implantation bleeding I experienced at 10dpo because it would help explain the late BFP. I just don't know what else it could have been - pink cm with some streaks of red that disappeared by morning. DH and I hadn't dtd since our last attempt the day before O, so it couldn't have been caused by sex.

Darn FRERs with their '5 days before expected period' promise - it's worked for me in the past, which is why it's so discouraging this time around!

My first pregnancy was a late BFP. I had nothing on a FRER until 16dpo. Good luck!!!

Oh FX for you Mocha! I don't have a late BFP to share (this is the only pg that we planned) but I just really, really hope this month is it for you!

Thanks again, everyone. I'm just getting so obsessive about this whole thing (gee, can you tell?:sigh:). I just keep hoping that if a woman who has implantation bleeding at 5dpo can't get a BFP until 10dpo, then maybe that means my 10dpo IB will lead to a 15dpo BFP or something like that. I'm not exactly a patient person, as you can tell, but I'm at least going to try to stop testing twice a day as I have been since the cost of all these FRERs is going to put me in the poor house! :wink:

No way did I even get a BFP at 10dpo with the baby I had implantation bleeding with at 5dpo - it would have been at least 12 or 13 dpo (but not an early response test). Thinking of you! In fact, I was driving home from work today trying to figure out how many dpo you are - how odd is that?!
