Long LP, testing negative!! HELP!

I am now on day 16 of my LP...my average is 14, never any longer than 15. And I'm on cycle day 29, never more than 31, so I'm still under average there. TCOYF told me I should get AF yesterday, but now it's switched it to LP day 18, which is Sunday. ??? Also, my temp is VERY consistant and is still elevated! ???

The thing is, I'd think I'm pregnant, but I tested on 9, 11, and 14 dpo and got all BFN's. I tested positive with my daughter on 12dpo with a store bought (Wal-Mart brand)test and the ones I have now are a lot more sensitive (20, instead of 50 or whatever). So, wouldn't I have been positive if I WERE pregnant?

The question is, should I test again? If so, when? This is driving me nuts. I just want AF to visit or for me to get a BFP!!

I think you should definately test again. If you have not gotten AF, then it could still be possible. I am on day 37 of a normal 27-28 day cycle, and have gotten 3 BFN's...! I'm trying not to get discouraged, I know some women just produce low low levels of HCG in the beginning. So re-test and keep us posted, we are here if you need us!!

Glad that someone else is in the same boat! Have you gotten a blood test yet? Are you planning on it? Thanks so much for the "open ears!" My husband just told me that if he were y'all, he'd be telling me to "shut up and forget about it." Ha! I know I'm obsessing, but who can't at this point!?! :)

At this point I don't know what symptoms are in my head and which are real...but i just keeping telling myself that as long as AF doesn't come then there's still a chance right..... Keep me posted on how your doing, even if you just need to vent!!!

Well, that's just plain stupid that they won't test you until a week from now! I mean, you're paying them, right??? Dumb!

Are you usually pretty "regular?" I am regular and I'm hoping that being regular will get me in for a blood test, if need be. BUT...hopefully, I'll get a + in the morning. I can hope, right? Thanks for the encouragement!

Yes I am VERY regular with my cycles, the only time I have ever been late was the first time I was pregnant, so now going on 10-11 days late really alarms me...but I'm trying to stay positive and not drive myself too crazy..but it's hard. Another week seems so far away!

I tested AGAIN with 20mIU/mL tests this morning (17 dpo) and it was a BFN! UGH! My temps are the same, as with my other 2 pregnancies, so I dunno!!!!

If my temps are still up tomorrow (18dpo) then "The Art of NFP" book says that I have a 99% chance of being pg. So I am DYING to share the news with family and close friends!!!

What do you think I should do about that if my temps are still up tomorrow?!?!

Keep testing is my advice, but not daily, only ever couple days. I am currently 22 dpo..!!!! and still BFN....so frustration is my middle name right now. It's really starting to get to me, last night my DF and I got into a huge argument and we still aren't talking, just cause i snapped from all this stress...LOL....but we'll be ok, it's just agonizing..my DF's advice is "just don't think about it, relax and just go on like normal" ...... YEAH RIGHT. Have you contacted your doctor or a local clinic?? I would call around. I'm so glad that I'm not alone, it makes it easier to have someone who is going through this too and understands!!! Hopefully we'll both find out something soon!!!!

AF arrived on Sunday! That was one STRANGE cycle! Thanks for your support. I would love to know what happens with you, but I won't be visiting here anymore. Please e-mail me at: december1998@juno.com

Thanks!
