Curious About Testing As Well.......

Good evening ladies! 

I'm kind of in the same boat as a previous poster.  I'm currently on CD 29 and my cycles run 30 days.  FF keeps telling me that I ovulate on CD18.  If this is true, then I'm 11 DPO today.  I tested on 9 DPO and again this morning (11 DPO) and got negative results both times.  Should I give up hope in being pregnant this cycle or do I just need to give it more time?  I've tried to find things to keep my mind occupied these past couple of weeks, but with it being Saturday night and my period may/may not appear on Monday, I think I'm going to drive myself crazy tomorrow!

I do feel a slight bit of cramping tonight,  very mild.  Now I'm not sure if it is period cramps coming on or could it be implantation?  Is implantation still possible at  11 DPO?  Also, I know HCG is not produced until implantation (at least I believe that is what I read somewhere).  Once implantation occurs, about how long does it take for the HCG level to be high enough to be detected on a pregnancy test?  Let's say these cramps I'm feeling are in fact implantation - how long should I wait before I try testing again?

Sorry for so many questions!  My mind is just racing tonight and I feel like I'm running around in circles.  Any insight/personal experience you can give would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you so much!

Monet, 

If I were you I would wait 2 days and test again if AF hasn't shown.  That being said I when trying,I would  buy pregnancy tests by the dozen (at the dollar store) and take one every day from about 10 DPO.

It can take a couple of days after implantation for there to be enough HCG in the urine to be detected.

Baby Dust to you,

I believe although it is possible to test positive at 11 DPO it is still on the early side. How long have you ben using FF? I believe when you first start they recommend waiting till like day 16-17 till you have a better idea of how long your luteal phase is.  I agree wait a couple days see what happens and if no AF then test again. Good luck to you!
hugs,

I was using an OPK so I know right when I ovulated. I was really impatient so I tested like every single  day for over a week. On 11dpo I got a negative. On 12dpo I got my BFP. I would wait 2-3 days and test again. Best of luck!
