So I was curious about the percentage of negative tests at DPO on women who end up being pregnant - so therefore false negatives. I did a little research on Countingdowntopregnancy.com and it was very interesting! Starting at 15DPO - the average day for AF to arrive 15 - 11.4% were negative tests 16 - 11.5% 17 - 12.8% 18 - 10.7% 19 - 11.9% 20 - 9.9% 21 - 9.1% That was as far as I could go. So up to a week past when AF would be due for the average female, 1 in every 10 (round figures) will still get a negative test! Basically I feel going by this is if you are late, and you know your body to say how late you actually are, the best idea is to get bloods done! Kinda a relief for me because Im 15 DPO and no sign of AF. This means there is still hope! |

Wow this is interesting! For me my cycles were all over the show- ranging from 26-46 days over the course of a year after stopping the pill. It turned out that my cycle I got my BFP on was a 28 day cycle- so I effectively got the BFP on the day AF was due. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

That is really interesting! i think FF has a list like this too somewhere, i got my BFP at 12dpo but would have shown a day or so earlier i think...essentially i was "late" though as i usually had a 10day LP lol -------------    CHEM 6/12+ |
