Testing positive

What is the longest anyone has gone before testing positive? I'm curious as I'm now 34 days into my cycle (normally 28 29 days long). I monitor mine on the flo app. It says I'm 3 days late but I know I'm probably a few more days later than that as my periods are usually like clock work. I've done 2 tests one on the Monday and one yesterday and both say negative. I used the clear blue digital ones. Last time I was pregnant I waited 7 days but my cycles were 27 28 days then. I'm wondering if I'm going through a cycle change. Has this happened to anyone? I only had my first baby last year in July and am kinda hoping there's a change going on. I'm not on any contraceptive so yes its my own doing as nothing has agreed with me. But its rare I get intimate with my partner due to not having much time but hey I feel the odds are against me 🙃😅. Little rant over.

If you're already late, they should be pretty accurate. It's normal to have longer cycles while post partum. When did your cycles return? Are you still breastfeeding?

Im pregnant with my first, and I was having negative tests for a long time.. I was about 14 weeks at least before I even had a positive test. (Been told I am completely against the norm though so wouldn't go with my experience!)

Breast feeding stopped at 4 and half months and I think it was around 3 months after birth that my periods returned. And to be fair they was regular then as I waited to go back on the pill when I got my second period. That pill did not agree so I came off and the pill I used to be on I couldn't go back on to due to blood pressure issues. So it's been a good few months of not being on the pill. So this has thrown me. Other than slightly tender breasts I've no symptoms but then I had none with my first. But them tests are very accurate like you said. I don't want to go to gp yet as I think I need to wait longer if by 7 days no positive result (which I'm highly doubting at this rate 🤞) I'm hoping it's all panic for nothing 😅

that is really against the norm wow! It's strange how the body can trick you into negative test whilst being pregnant as usually you need to have high hcg levels

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
