How is this even possible!? Negative at 16DPO and then this at 19DPO?

How is this even possible!? Negative at 16DPO and then this at 19DPO?

I am SO confused. Confused to the extent that I'm not even sure I should be celebrating!?

I had a chemical pregnancy last month. I tested negative after a week and starting bleeding the same day. This cycle I had 5 days of high estrogen (flashing smiley face) before finally getting my LH surge on CD10. So I guess I ovulated the following day on CD11. My cycles are usually short - 25/26 days.

So I then tested 10 DPO, 11DPO, 12DPO - totally negative. I tested again just before my period was normally due (maybe 15DPO or 16DPO) and it was WHITE. Not a squinter - nothing. I didn't take a photo because there was honestly nothing to debate.

Then my period didn't arrive. I assumed my cycle was just a bit messed up due to my chemical last month. Today, this evening, CD30 and probably 19DPO, I was curious and took another test and got the photo shown.

  1. How is this possible?
  2. I have read that very late implantation (post 12DPO) has an 82% miscarriage rate. Anyone got any success stories to share? Should I bother celebrating at all or guard my heart?
  3. How the hell can it be THAT late!?

Thanks in advance for any pearls of wisdom.
