My period was supposed to start on Friday (July 25). I still have no signs of it coming (usually have a slight pinkish discharge beforehand). But I'm scared half to death to take a test. First of all, it has only been a year (last monday) that I lost my little boy to stillbirth. Although I am physically ready, I don't know if I am emotionally ready. Secondly, my SO doesn't want to TTC for another couple of years as I don't think he's over grieving our first child. Thirdly, I just started a new job a month ago and it would look really bad to get preggo as soon as I started. Fourthly, there is MAJOR tension between the two families and they hate each other. I know hate is a strong word, but that's the way they feel about each other. I stopped taking bcp June 25 so not sure if this is the reason for the delay. I hope deep down I am, but still scared to death. Thanks for listening.

Wow...that is a lot to deal with at once...First I would like to say I am so sorry for your loss..I can't even imagine going through something like that.

Well, when I went off the bcp, my first cycle was 1 week late. this is only my second month off of them, and I am still waiting to see if I am back to a 28 day cycle.

If you are BFP, you will be amazed at how fast that brings families together (I had the same issue with my in-laws until my DD was born).

By the way, I like your little Canadian Flag. Where are you in Canada? I am in Ontario.

Hope you get the BFP you want.
