19dpo confused. Late positive? Successful pregnancy?
So from what I think I'm 20 dpo I don't know for sure I'm about 19 days past my last unprotected intercourse. I know I could've ovulated late etc
. I've felt extremely pregnant and missed my period and I'm just now getting faint positive tests has any one had a successful pregnancy with a late positive? My last pregnancy I was about 16-17dpo when I got a positive it was successful. I'm very worried because it's late and I've read bad stories. I have been taking hpt and lh tests today I have a almost positive lh and faint hpt
UPDATE I was NOT pregnant and have no answers to why i had no period that long I'm thinking stress!

The only reason you would miss your period would be if you didn't O when you thought or you are pregnant. You would have a positive HPT by the time you missed your period though so if you are two weeks late and then get a positive pregnancy test it's because you most likely O'd later than you thought. An egg can only live for seven days so on O day plus seven days if the egg hasn't implanted yet, it won't. It also takes a few days for a fertilized egg to implant, typically 4 days after the fertilized eggs lands in your uterus. So that's why you can't get a positive pregnancy test until at least 7dpo at the very earliest. Most see a positive around 10dpo give or take a day or two either way. So if you were two weeks late on your period it's because you O'd late, which would also be why you missed what you expected to be your period. So if you don't get your period when you expect it and you are getting negative HPTs I suggest waiting a week and retesting but you may have not O'd on time or at all.

I plan on testing tomorrow. I've had a few people reach out and they had the same thing happen and didn't get a urine bfp until 6 weeks . I just want to know what's going on where's my period if I'm not pregnant lol if I did ovulate late then I'm not pregnant my fiance was only home around the time I was supposed to ovulate. We will see. I'll update
