i post the message about -hpt but 13 days late earlier today well i called the doc and they said not to come for a bloodtest until i missed my next cy which would of been due to start on 8-31 because i have alreay had 2 -hpt. i dont know what to think. you think that they think i am crazy??? why wait till 8-31 unless they think i am crazy? i have some symptoms of prenancy and none of my usual af symptoms and i told this to the doc and still he says wait because you cant go by symptoms alone well isnt that the point of a blood test?????

This don't sound right at all. Even if he didn't think you were pregnant, he should want to see why your AF is 13 days late. Its not like your just a few days late. I would see about another doctor...just don't seem right to me.

I totally agree with emily, it doesn't sound right at all, he shouldn't wait until you missed two periods, one should be indicative enough that there is something going on....good luck and let us know what happens.

I agree with the others, that seems weird to wait that long. I am now on day 44, last week my doctor told me to wait and test this morning (Wed) so I did and it is still negative. I'm so confused as it sounds like you are too!!

Sad to say hun but Docs think they know it all, even when it comes to our own body. When he/she says wait till your 2nd missed cycle, to me it sounds like he thinks you missed counted your days or are making up how actually late you are. Be encourage, and get a second opinion.

Actually most offices say dont come in untill you miss 2 periods ! Your first OB appointment isent untill 8 weeks and then they can see a heart beat. Its only routine!
