16 DPO- no period- but BFN

I am 16 days past ovulation, period was due 2 days ago on the 14th day past ovulation. I am always like clockwork- 28 days. I am 2 days late yet I still get negative pregnancy tests. My basal temps are up and up- higher than they have ever been.
I don't get what is going on! Should I call my doctor? Is it possible to get a late BFP?

Sorry about your miscarriage GinaGi.  I had one on September 17th and have been trying TTC ever since.  Right now I'm CD 30 and 14 DPO and still getting BFNs.  My temp is higher than it has been all cycle so I'm still hopeful.  I'm so afraid of what my temp is going to say tomorrow morning though.  I don't know what my 'regular' cycle is now since they say that changes after having a miscarriage (I had a D&C).

Good luck to all of those that are currently TTCing  :)

Okay I need help again..So it's been two weeks since the d&c. I had severe gushing bleeding all over the floor horrible, this morning with clots it stopped. For some reason I thought i was ovulation so i took the opk this morning and it came positive is this possible? Is this the reason why I started bleeding. I am going to the doctor this morning . Should I let him examine me i don't want to start any more problems.
I feel like there is no light at the end of this tunnel .

Well guys I got a BFP this morning at 19 DPO! I took a digital instead of an internet cheepie this time and it says "pregnant"! I am so excited but so worried at the same time, after having a miscarriage and now getting such a late BFP- but I am thinking positive thoughts!

Can I jump on this bandwagon? LOL.  I am CD40 and JUST started spotting.  It's been 6 months of trying and 8 months since I had a miscarriage.  I don't understand why my cycles go from 31 to 39 days.  It just doesn't make sense.  I had an OB appointment last week and she doesn't think anything is wrong, but she did order some bloodwork for me next cycle.  I am just as frustrated as you both are and I wish we had answers.  I frequently have my "breakdowns" and all i can say is that we need to try to keep on keeping on even when we don't feel like it.  I wish you both the best....I know how disappointing the BFN but no AF waiting game is.  You get this glimmer of hope that you might actually be pg. but then you really are just stuck in a long cycle of torture.

What is the update with you? I had a break down too. I still am late, I thought today was 18 DPO but I may have ovulated later than thought and am only be 13 DPO by looking at my chart.
I don't understand why I am late and the tests are negative. I made an appointment with an RE for next month  though so maybe I will get some answers.

I hope we both are as well.  I did finally decide to accept the fact that I am not this month...again.  I had a mini break down last night with my husband.  But there is no sign of my period...and I am not 17 dpo.  My period was due 2 days ago.  I don't understand.

I sure hope we both are! But then why would the test be negative I have the tests that read at 20 MIu. My guess is either I ovulated later than I thought, or late implantation, or low HCG and any of those reasons are a high risk for another miscarriage. (I had one back in June at 7 weeks)
Maybe the internet cheepie tests I got are just crud. LOL
I guess I will wait for 18 DPO and see again.

Hi,

Both of you could be pregnant!

Go for blood work and it is more accurate than HPT.

Hi Trishlk,

I am in the SAME boat!  My period was due yesterday, I ovulated on the 5th, and had a tiny bit of spotting on the 14th.  But I am still getting a negative pregnancy test.  My cycles have been 31 days faithfully for so long.  I wonder if I could still be pregnant.
