AF Still not here but...

Well, AF is still not here, and although I am only two days late, I am rarely late. I had all the symptoms of AF (for me, cramping, bloating) but yet, nothing. I think I o'd on the 15th-16th, so I should be 14-15dpo. I have tested (I couldn't wait), but did I test too early (got BFNs)? I am just waiting for AF to show up and ruin my day, but I can't help but be cautiously optimistic. How long should I wait to test? Has anyone been pg and had BFNs and how long?

Thanks,

Sorry if I seem obsessive!

When did you do your original tests? If you did them too early, you may have gotten false negatives.

I would test tomorrow with FMU (that is if AF does not show). If it is still BFN, wait another 3 days to a week and test again (I know it's agony).

I have the same issue you do. I am only 1 day late with horrible cramping last night, but no AF to be seen..... I am going to try to wait until Aug 6 to test, then I will be a week late..

Good luck,

Well, I have been a testing fool. I guess I started a couple days before AF was due (Wed.) with those tests that claim they can tell a couple of days before. BFN! I tested this morning again, but still a BFN. I'll try to be patient!

Thanks

I'm living the same scene! My AF due Tues. July 29, but just some scant spotting of dark, black/brown and only when I wipe, no real AF and I ovulated the 14th I believe and I've been getting BFN with HPT's too! I'm going crazy as well, so don't feel lonely, I'm with ya! I thought I'd test tomorrow or sat. with FMU to get an idea, if neg. then I'll wait until I'm a full week late. So strange! I've had all the symptoms of being preg. and was worried AF came, but really it hasn't and I'm not crampy anymore like I'd been since the 20th. By nipples and breasts really hurt, I'm Soooooooooo Tired today, sometimes I feel sick and dry heave and sometimes I'm really starving and then hot off and on too. Is it in my head? Good luck to you and keep me posted and I'll keep you up to date on mine as well.--------Jessica TTC #2

Hi -

just an interjection, what is FMU?

FMU is First Morning Urine. I have been testing first thing in the morning. I guess I should be happy that the hag has stayed away and I have been spared monster cramps. I haven't really had any other symptoms like a lot of you have had. Oh well, I guess I'll wait and see! I might as well buy stock in HPT companies...

Thanks,

Carolyn

AF came full force today! Darn it! Was suppose to be here tues. and waited until friday! I'm going to dr. next week to get back on my synthroid(I never renewed it a year ago and I should be on it for thyroid) it may help with my chances TTC too(I'm bad, haven't been taking it!) With DS I was on it and got a period finally after D&C with first preg. and then after that one period I was preg! So, maybe it will work again! Guess I'll be posting more later this month hopefully. I'm doing BBT for the first time too, just to help me out-I'm one who feels the egg release with ovulation too.Good luck to those of you still waiting and testing!-------------JESSICA
