Anyone get a late BFP?

First, congrats to all you ladies - I hope to be joining you soon! TTGPer coming over to ask if anyone got their BFP later than 12 or 13 dpo after testing negative prior? I'm in POAS purgatory...I'm not exactly sure how many dpo I am since I didn't temp this month (kicking myself over that one!), but today is CD 31 and no sign of AF. I've never had a cycle longer than 31 days and I've been having similar cramping/low back pain to what I had with my DD that make me think I could be pregnant, but I just got a BFN (granted it was pretty diluted urine at night; stupid me). I might be grasping at straws, but I'm just wondering how common it is to take longer to get a BFP. I didn't test with DD until almost a week after AF was due, so I have no clue if I could be a late implanter or not. TIA for humoring me!

With my 1st pregnancy I didn't get a + until 19 DPO (had previous neg tests).  With 2nd I was EBF and hadn't had AF yet and when I found out I was pregnant.  With this pregnancy it was 16 DPO.

Wow, 19 dpo! That's good to know (that it is possible to still turn out to be pregnant that "late"). Interesting how different it is for everyone. I honestly just need to relax, especially since I was able to show much more restraint with the testing last time! Will wait a day or two and try again. Thank you!

I kept taking pregnancy tests at home and they kept coming out negative.  This went on for 2 weeks and then I finally called my dr and went in for a blood test during the third week of no period.  A blood test confirmed I was pregnant and when I went in for a sono the following week, I was already 6 weeks along.

I took a pregnancy test at a hospital before a procedure when I was probably on CD 38 or so, and it came back negative.  I took another a little over a week later and it was positive.  Turned out I ovulated around CD 30, so that is why the first one was negative!

I did not get a BFP with this pregnancy until 15 DPO and I had several negatives before that.

Thanks ladies! I'm still hoping I have a shot this cycle. Still no AF and I still feel that odd crampiness, so guess time will tell. I'm just going to wait a few more days till I test again (not too tough, since I peed on my last stick last night!).

I could have written this exact post 2 weeks ago.  I had NEVER had a cycle past 32 days and then I did.  Luckily, it turned into a BFP but I didn't test positive until CD 39.  That is testing every day with cheapies.  On day 39 it was the faintest of lines and then on CD 40 it was clear, but faint on a FRER.  Day 41 I got a digital "Pregnant".  Anyway, hang in there - you aren't out until AF shows her ugly head!
