AF no show ...??

Ok, this has been the most confusing two months of my life! My last normal period was 6/12/06. I o'd on or around 6/25. On 7/05 I spotted. During this whole time I have had prego symptoms ie: nausea, sore boobs, dizzy, constipated ... AF came on 7/08, but it only lasted "1" day. I have taken hpt after hpt all neg. I have been checking my cervix since ovulation on 6/25. The strange this is that my cervix went up high for O and never came back down. I have been looking for ovulation this month and it never happend. Still feeling sick, nips still very sensitive and darker. AF is due today and no sign she is coming; cervix still up high, closed and semi-soft. I have lots of cm, NO eggwhite, just a mix of lotiony and crumbly. TMI, i know! I took a $ store test this morning and as it developed, I saw the line (that should be positive) but it is so faint and thin, I couldn't tell if It had any color to it or not. It is still there after several hours, should I consider this an evap line? I think I would be around 8 weeks if I were pregnant. Is it possible to be prego and not have a BFP on HPT? I know I should go get a blood test, but I don't have insurance and I thought I should get a + on hpt first.
Any opinions or suggestions?
Thanks,
Kelly

Well, I still haven't started! I took another $ store test this morning, neg?!! I am wondering though, for the past few weeks these tests will get a faint line. Some before the time but most after. They all show a faint amount of pink color in them. Some are thin and I think one was wide. I turn it to see if there is a dent in it and there is not. I am asking you girls what your opinion is, because when I had prego scares before, these tests never showed an evap line. I have been monitoring my cycle and I still have not ovulated to even get AF. I don't have insurance, that is why I have not been to the dr yet. When I thought I might be pregnant last month, I thought I could be nuts because I did bleed (just one day). We were are not TTC. Any opinion would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kelly

hi! I think you should check to see if there are any clinics in your area that can help. maybe try Planned Parenthood and see if they can point you in the right direction for low cost bloodwork.

I haven't started af since going off bc 3 months ago, I'm going to the dr tomorrow and I'll post any info I find out for possible reasons of no af besides pg, maybe I'll find something out that can help you...

You're right, I do need to get some bloodwork done. I can't stand waiting around anymore. Yesterday morning I had a tiny amount of pink discharge mixed w/clear. My first thought was my period finally coming, but no ... I have had nothing since and no cramps, so I just don't know what to think.
But YES any info you get for yourself definitely share!! Good luck to you ...

Maybe try testing with a different type of HPT brand. Best of luck.

I have not had an af since beginning of may. 7/19 i got some spotting but no af. Just to let you know i have irregular af's anyways. On 7/31 went to the dr. She did a pap, checked all insides out, and did a preg test, neg, put me on provera for 10 days. I finished preovera on 8/9, and on 8/10 had that same pinkish clear on my tp. I didnt know what it was. No cramps, not period, nothing. I spotted a brown discharge a couple days later, then yesterday spotted almost paper thin flecks of what i think was blood. All spotting gone within 10 minutes at most... any thoughts???

I think any line - if it's light/faint or not is still a line. The best way to know is to have your doctor do a blood test. With my first preg. (back in 1989) I was 4 months preg before it showed up on an HPT, granted they are better now. But I think in the blood it can show up as early as 8 days after conception. Blood test is the best bet.

Good luck!
