I'm currently 9 days late and having low grade symptoms (nausea, headaches, fatigue, feeling thirsty all the time, etc), but I'm having all BFN results. I've had a couple of the blue tests come up as very faint lines after about 30 minutes, but I'm no stranger to blue dye tests and I know how they usually do this. It was a definite negative on Monday, then a slight line yesterday after about 30 minutes, then I thought I saw a faint line immediately today, but I'm not sure.
At this point, I would think the line should be pretty dark, unless I ovulated really late. No sign of aunt flow as of now. Anyone have any insight?

You're regular until you're not.... and if the tests are negative, then you are not pregnant at this time. I had cycles after my MC where I could've sworn I was PG from the nausea and symptoms I had... if I hadn't been bleeding buckets of blood at the same time!
If you aren't temping, you don't know when you O'd, so you don't actually know if you're late or not. So keep waiting until you get AF or BFP... if it hits like 60 days in your cycle, then call your doctor.
Also, would recommend introducing yourself in the newbie thread for the week and jumping in on the already created daily threads. Also, reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility as it is a WEALTH of information that is super kick-ass.

Also, OP, to piggyback on @capnjackharkness 's VERY nice reply - all of the symptoms you mentioned could simply be progesterone, and not pregnancy related.
And for thoroughness, just to point this out, it is against the TOU of this site to ask the community (even indirectly) if you are pregnant. Posting a message telling us that you're 9 days late and asking if we have any insight is asking us if we think you're pregnant.

Nope, not temping. Not even trying to get pregnant so I'm more worried that I am at this point than obsessing over whether or not my tests are positive. But yeah, hopefully it's just late. Was just looking for some reassurance, glad to have received it in the form of smartass responses and one actual response. Have a good day, everyone!
@butters510 this board is for women who have been trying to get pregnant... some of us for years now. So, when someone random jumps on to ask a question, when we don't even know you, and doesn't read the rules at the top (which tell you not to ask if you could be pregnant and to not start your own post), yes we get a bit annoyed. So, call us smartasses all you want... but you are in the wrong. If you wanted to join in you should have intro'd and joined one of our already existing threads, where we would've been more than happy to interact with you.

Just here for the QFP. Also just putting it out there that there are directions on the box that tell you the window for reading the test results. It's definitely not 30 minutes.
I'm sorry you're having a wonky cycle, but no one here is going to blow smoke up your ass and lie to you about the possibility of being pregnant. The women here aren't being smartasses, they're being honest, and you really do need to learn to read the website terms of use and the rules of the board before jumping in and making a one off post. Even just googling "late with negative pregnancy test" will bring up a bunch of results talking about anovulatory cycles and late ovulation. You can also google "faint line on blue dye pregnancy test" and you'll find loads of results talking about how unreliable blue dye tests are.

Which is greatly appreciated. The first 2 GIFs weren't really necessary, though. Capnjack's GIFs were definitely hilarious.
But, thanks for the replies. I'm thankful you guys took time out of your day to respond and at least I know the possible reason for AF's delay, thanks to the progesterone info.
@butters510 the gifs happen because you didn’t take anytime to read the rules or lurk. And more often than not people who do the random post never contribute to the community here at all rather only thinking of themselves.
This is a great place and very supportive. Props for handling this post pretty well. Lurk around and join in the daily posts
