Did it take anyone else an exceptionally long time to get a positive HPT?

Hi all

 

Flo is a week late, my boobs hurt, I'm exhausted, I'm super bloated and I've even puked. The dern HPT says negative, but everything my body is telling me says there's a baby on the way. We use the withdraw method (we're not actively trying, but it wouldn't be the end of the world) and had sex during my fertile time. I haven't had any substantial weight loss or stress levels, I've been healthy, and my cycles are very predictable (last two have been 25 days long with an average of 27 days. Tomorrow- 5/28- will be day 33). Army basic training and having my son are the only two events that have ever interrupted my cycle.

 

Has anyone else experience a pregnancy where the HPT took way longer than normal to show positive? I know sometimes a pregnancy will produce very low levels of hCG, I'm just wondering how many other women have actually experienced this.
