am i crazy?

Hi everyone! I have read all of your posts, and I think my situation is quite similar. I need your help! I am 8 days late. I have taken 3 different brands of preg tests and all are negative. The day I was supossed to start, I had mild cramping, so I thought AF was coming. Nothing happened. I have had nausea, bloating, tender breasts, and an increase in vaginal discharge (sorry if TMI). I have all of the signs, but no positive test! I called the Dr's office and the nurse said not to assume that I am preg because I am late. (I am never late. EVERY 30 days!) She told me to wait another week and test again. I want a blood test, but I don't want the Dr. to think that I am a nutcase! DH says I should call and tell them that I got a + result on the hpt.
What should I do? I am going INSANE!
Thanks ladies!

I was talking to my friend yesterday and when she was ttc w/#1, she too wanted to take a blood test after just a couple of days late. When she called her OB/GYN, they said that they don't usually test this soon, so she told them that she had conflicting results on her hpt and she got right in.
Also, I don't like how that nurse told you not to assume you are pregnant, you're not, that's why you want the test. 8 days late for someone who has regular periods is abnormal in my opinion. It's definately telling you something and don't they realize that they may see it everyday, but it's important and stressful to you so just do the test. WOW! I think I'm letting this waiting get to me, that sounded a little impatient, didn't it.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know you're not alone. Keep us posted.

hey there,
i read your message,
and it sounds like you possibly are pregnant,
i'm having my first baby in dec 2003 and my test did'nt show up either i did'nt find out till i was 3 months so it was a big shock!!!
i was told in some women the hgc level in your urine, or blood may not be high enough to detect wich means it may not show up for a few months depending
but perhaps you could have a blood test and if that does'nt show up try again in a few weeks! but don't worry and try not to stress about it hehe i though i was going nots when my test did'nt show up its pretty weird, coz everyone thinks your faking or your imagining the whole thing
congrats if you are =) i hope everything goes well for you
good luck
