Period is Late (Never Happens). Too many BFNs to count. What's up?
Has this happened to anyone else?
I have been consistently having 28 day cycles, with the exception of last month, which was 29. I am on CD30 and have taken way too many tests this whole week.
The only difference is that I am taking Folgard which has B6 in it, which i know can lengthen an LP, based on reading on here. My doc never mentioned it though. I'm on it for MTHFR.
Thoughts?

if you are on something that is known to lengthen LP, you can't go by the length of your past cycles for reference. it just means that whatever you are taking is probably working. also, are you 100% sure of your O day?

I totally hear you, but I'm not on it to lengthen my LP. So, my doc never presented it that way to me. I just know some girls take B6 to lengthen their LP on here, so that could be it.
I am pretty sure I O'd Feb 6th, based on positive OPK and cramping.

I took a B6 vitamin fora week or two a few months ago and my cycle completely changed! I O'ed 10 days later than I was supposed to and my LP was even a day longer. I have no idea if t he vitamins caused it or it was just a fluke but they scared me..
I would just keep testing and if AF is nowhere to be seen after a few days I would call my doc.

I'm not sure if B6 will actually change the length or your cycles. I've been taking Super B Complex vitamins on and off for about 15 years and never noticed any changes in the length of my cycles. My cycles were always very regular (28 or 29 days) before BCP, but since going off BCP about a year ago they've become more erratic (21-27 day cycles). I'd probably wait a few more days and if there's still no AF or BFP give your doctor a call.

It's possible that you Od a day after the poss OPK and cramps too. I tend to doubt B6 will lenthen the LP if it's not an issue to begin with. B6 deficiency is pretty rare since B6 is in so many varried foods.
But hopefully it's late for a reason!

When we were TTC the first time, I went off BCP and for the first 4 months had exactly 28 day cycles. The next was 30, the next 31, and the next I got my BFP. Unfortunately, I think that can just happen. I hope yours is late for a good reason though!

thanks girls-- still nothing...
My cycles have been consistent since getting my period after having DD (8 months pp), and I didn't go back on the pill. And since I got my BFP on 9DPO with her, I am willing to bet these vitamins are changing my cycles a bit. But only time will tell!

a BFP at 9DPO with a prior pregnancy has nothing to do with when you would get a BFP in a later pregnancy. all embies implant at different times.
good luck!

Ok, so theoretically, I *could* be late with my period (because I have a short LP), and still getting BFNs because I have a late implanter?
Of course DD was advanced at even such a young age! 
I tested again this AM with FMU, BFN on Wonfo and I took my last digital because I was wondering if maybe something was up with the Wondfos. Neg too.
I mean at this point, I'm over 2 days late-- almost 3.
I'm going to call my doc tomorrow and ask about the Folgard, etc. and see what could be going on with me. I doubt I'm pregnant.
