Could I be pregnant?

I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks in April and the doc. gave us the ok to try this month. Well my period was due today. My breasts are slightly sore and growing, I have taken a few pregnancy tests in the last few days as I have felt a little nauseated for almost 2 weeks and had cramps for that long and growing breasts for that long. Anyway. My tests have all been negative and still no menstration. Could I be pregnant? Could my hopes be tricking my body into thinking it's pregnant, thus the growing chest? How long have you had to wait for a positive post your period due date? I just want to know one way or the other. The longer I go with no period and no positive makes me worry I'm having an early miscarriage.

Melissa if we could trick our bodies in not having periods that would be wonderful. I am high optimistic that there is a good chance that you could be pregnant. Some HPT's are not very sensitive and may not give you a positive for several days. But all that depends on when you actually had implantation. That can occur anywhere form 5 to 12 dpo. How long is your luteal phase? If no AF in a day or two go and take another test. Hopefully sooner rather than later you will get your answer. HTH!

We can't stress our body into a delayed period ?

I would say it could go anyway for you at this point. It could be too early to tell yet if you're pregnant yet b/c you're right you could be stressing about it causing you to be late, maybe your test just isn't sensitive enough, I'd say it's still up in the air...waiting is the worse. Good luck and keep us updated.

I am right there with you. To a tee. I to had a m/c on april 28th and AF is do today and nothing. I have taken several tests yesterday and only got a very faint pos on one of the four. Not good odds. Used FMU today and got two out of two alittle darker pos, but they showed up after the ten min. I'm using the dollar tests from the gerneral dollar store and they have really bad bleed lines threw it until it's pretty much dried up and thats when I see the pos. I don't know what to think either. I don't think we can talk our selves out of having a period. If so we could do it all the time. Like if we were on the last day of vac and we didn't want it to start yet. Ya know what I mean. Well good luck and hope you get everything you want. Feels good to know theres someone out there just like me.
