Well, so far I am 4 days late. I have been having lower abdominal cramps and lower back pain. The need to pee seems more frequent, but could be in my head. I have tested 3 times so far with different brand tests and using first morning urine. All have come back negative so far. It is just really unusual for me to be late, so it's really bugging me. I was due to start on August 7th, is there any way that maybe me HCG hormones just aren't high enough to test positive yet? Otherwise I guess my period is just off for some other reason. I just can't figure it out. The other reason I think I could be pregnant is my hubby and I had sex while I was ovulating, though we used the withdrawal method (which I know certainly is not full proof.) But 5 days later, in the morning, I have having some pink spotting, just a little while and not much, which is also something that never happens. ugh this waiting to know is killing me.

I guess after all that rambling, what I'm really wondering is at 4 days late, could it possibly just not be showing up yet?

thanks alot!

I think that there is a possibility that you just haven't waited long enough to test. Some people can test right away, some people have to wait a long time. I didn't even test until I was 16 days passed my ovulation, mind you I chart everything so it was easier for me to see.

If you dont usual spot before your period and it was about a week after the sex, then it "could" be implantation spotting but that's not a guarantee so dont quote me on it. All the other symptoms sound good too but again a lot of things tend to be in our head and we make them a reality.

I didn't spot or really feel sick at all but I'm 6 weeks pregnant so go figure!

Hope this helps.
