Late AF but still BFNs!

AF was due Saturday and as of Tuesday night it still has not appeared!  I've tested first thing every morning and I am still getting a BFN.  I know I should chill out and test in a few days but I am confused and getting anxious! AF is always on time or even early... 

Just FYI, I've tried Wondfo Pregnancy Test Strips and First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test ("can detect the pregnancy hormone 6 days before your missed period")

Any idea what's going on?  If I was pregnant, wouldn't First Response show me a positive since my period was due 4 days ago and it supposedly can tell me 6 days before??

You probably just ovulated later than usual.

I totally get how frustrating this is! The same thing happened to me last month. AF is always 2628 days. Always always! Last month was our first month TTC 2 and she didn't show up for 33days. And I seriously had myself talked into symptoms. But I kept getting BFN. Chances are, if you're getting negative HPTs, you're probably not pregnant. PP is right is that you likely ovulated late. I don't have any advice for you, you nailed it ;. Try and relax and test once a week till she shows up.

Good luck!

You probably ovulated later than you think you did. It never happened to me until I started ttc then it happened 3 or 4 times. Apparently it's normal. GL

As PPs have said, you probably ovulated later than you think and AF isnt late. How do you know you ovulated? Charting your basil body temperature (BBT) and using OPKs are the best way to really pin point ovulation. You can click on my chart and signup for Fertility Friend. Pretty much everyone uses it to chart their BBTs and it does really help.

Test once a week until AF shows up, you get a BFP or you go 60 days without AF, then call your OB.

HTH!!

FTFY. We're not recording the temps of our kitchen herbs here. :)

OP, I would suggest reading the newbie link too. (Clicky) You can access Fertility Friend through clicking on anyone's link found at the bottom of their posts. Be sure to read the tutorials. They will give you a lot of good info. Good luck!

Peanut fixed the spelling in the quote for her hence FTFY (fixed that for you).

I have to keep The Bump Community Glossary ( http://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/blogs/nest_baby_editors/pages/the-bump-community-glossary.aspx ) open in a separate tab whenever I read message board posts because there are so many acronyms I don't know!
