hello girls, the was due on friday but no show!!! i have done 3 tests but neg!! i ov on day 20/21 so how long does it take to show that i may be pregnant, had a few signs last week, and im never late!! im confused on how long it actually takes to make the hormones level show?? any ideas would be great

Gabrielle

Hey hun as far as i know...its takes typically 6 -10 days for the egg to implant and than another day or two for the hormone to build up enough to show up in your urine.

HOw long is your cycle? if its only a 28 day than its probably too early.
How many dpo are you today?

Hope this helps.Good luck hun

not sure what dpo is?? help always 28 days?? strange thats all

Gabrielle

I would def say if you ovulated on the 20/21 then your only 10 days past ovulation..so it might be too early.

when would u recommened, how do u work it out, im sorry 4 asking xxx

Gabrielle

i would say to try in test on friday..and see what that says. im not really sure hun to be honest!
maybe someone else can help you out.
All i know is everyone is different..
the egg takes about 6-10 days to implant, 1-2 days for the hcg to build up.
Remember hun..your not out untill the witch arrives!!!! Keep thinking positive hun.
I can understand how fustrating this is for you. im so sorry

sam76

any ideas of any one, im so hoping that this is it!!! help

You need to work out how long your luteal phase is hun. Its the time from your ovulation til you get your period. If you count day one of your period as cycle day one..cd1..and you know for sure you ovulated cd 20, and have an average cycle of 28 days based on the average luteal phase of 11-16 days (most having a lp of 12-14 days) that you have a very short luteal phase, which is not good as it wont give the embryo anything to implant in, as the endimitrium wouldnt build up i.e. build up your next period and 'food' for the embryo.

Now, im not saying this to scare you only to suggest that maybe you ov'd earlier than you thought. is that possible?

The other reason im mentioning this is because although your ov can shift due a host of reasons your lp nearly never does, save a day or so. Also, om not sure if you've been timimg your ov for a while, as opposed to just this like cycle, so maybe its possible you ov'd late and as such you'll get your period late....?

Eg. I have a lp of 13 days. On a 29 days cycle i ov on cd 16 and get af 13 days later. On a 30 days cycle i ov on cd 17 etc..

Hope i havent been rambling on..but this info should, toghether with the previous posts about implantation, give you an idea when to start testing. Keep in mind it takes a while for the hcg (pg hormone) to start building and as such its a) difficult to get a bfp early and b) to get symptoms.

Good luck, hun!!!
