getting disappointed

So, here's my background. My lmp was on may 31st, I was on a 28 day cycle until the last 2 cycles, when it was 31 days. I don't chart or temp, but I'm usually pretty aware of my CM throughout my cycle. Well, so I was expecting AF anywhere from June 27th to June 30th. Now it's July 5th and still no AF. I thought that I might be pg back in the week from June 17th-June 21st. I had cramps, sore bbs, lots of nausea, moodiness, lots of CM, was tired alot. So, I took an hpt, bfn (no surprise, since I figured that was waaay too early), and then last weekend I really started to feel better. All those symptoms went away, and I thought, ok, AF is probably on her way (right on time). The week I was really feeling pg, I was so sure, that I made a dr's appt for a blood test. I ended up cancelling it b/c I just thought that AF was going to arrive and plus by the time my appt came around, I was feeling much better. DH and I bd'd w/out him pulling out (our usual bc method) around the 26th and 27th because I thought that it was so close to when AF was supposed to arrive, I figured we'd be safe. But on the morning of the 27th I noticed some very EWCM.
So, anyways... back to now. I still have no AF, I tested on Monday, and it was BFN. I don't know what to think. I mean I'm thinking that AF is just late because I was stressed out and maybe I o'd late, probably around the time me and DH BD'd. Well, I made another appt for a blood test tomorrow... I'm not very hopeful b/c I just don't "feel" pg at at all. Except that I've had the tiniest bit of spotting twice. Once it was only barely there on the tp, and then a week later, I noticed that I had kind of light, light pink, mixed with whitish, yelllowish mucus when I had gone to the bathroom (sorry for the TMI!) and that's it. I just don'tknow what that could be. I guess I'll have to wait to see what my Dr. says...
I'm mainly just venting b/c I've never been this late before. I was really surprised the last 2 months when I went a whole 31 days in my cycle. So now I'm at 36 days, and still getting BFN on the hpts. Ugh! Waiting is just not fun.
Has anyone else ever gone through feeling really pg one week, then not at all the next, and then actually ended up being pg?

thanks for the update. sorry if this wasn't the result you wanted, but I'm sure you'll get bfp in the upcoming months. when did you go off bcp? I've been hearing it can take up to 3 months to resume af, it doesn't mean you're not ovulating it just means no uterus lining to shed. I went off bc in May and still no af... that's why I'm trying not to get my hopes up but you just don't really know until the blood test results... I bet you're glad at least to know for sure.
I'm hoping for bfp today but if it's neg then I think I'll be able to get my head back in the game with working, I haven't been able to concetrate I'm getting really behind!
I know it.... GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
the first time I called the sound went off just when they said the ext number for the nurse so I had to hang up & call again. then the nurse mailbox was full and couldn't leave a message. so I called back again, the office transferred me to the nurse and then the call was disconnected while I was on hold. so I called again, got the nurse and that's when she told me the results are in but I have to wait. if it's bfn I'm going to change doctors! LOL
Don't they realize that it's like water torture having to wait like that?!? I mean soooo close, yet soooo far away is your answer! Well, it's that time of day when I get to go home... I haven't told DH that I have an appt yet, so I'll be doing that tonight, maybe he can keep my mind off the looooong day tomorrow is going to be. My appt isn't until 3pm... so, good luck! and please, please post back with your results... I'm crossing my fingers for you that 1) it's BFP or 2) at least the nurse calls you back today! :) Wish me luck tomorrow...

See, I had to come back because you both posted responses to me! :-) The best of luck to each of you on your upcoming results! I stopped BCP on May 27th and AF arrived on June 1st, so I thought we were right back on schedule... you've given me hope that it may take another month or so.
Thanks!
I will keep trying OPTs!

I just read all of the messages here, and i must say they are truly helpful in that i don't feel like the only obsessed one. This is my second month trying and well I just feel the same way as I did last month when i could have sworn i was pregs. My DH is so sweet in being positive about the situation and in taking time, but i am so depressed and frusterated. I especially am, when people around me are pregs and a friend of mine just had a baby on Monday. It is like being thrown in my face it seems like. I am so ready for this stage in my life and it seems to not be happening fast enough. Then the thought rings in my head: "What if i can't have children?" I know that it is too early to even speculate that but so many things ring in my head.
Anyways, thanks for making me blab...let me know if there are any tricks for keeping the anxiety down.
hi! yeah it can take 3 months or so to get your cycle back on track after stopping bcp. it doesn't mean you're not o'ing, just means no uterus lining to shed so keep trying! the drs say to wait ttc till you have a couple periods after stopping bc for this very reason, so you have an idea of when you conceived and be able to timeline your due date etc... and so you don't go crazy thinking you're pg all the time like me!
I finally got in touch with the nurse, bfn. bummer
still waiting for af it's been about 2 months now, uggh I know patience is a virtue right?!?!
Robin I know you just had your test, good luck! I hope you get an answer today, thinking of you!!!
Yeah I feel you. Fortunatly my first month off I was right on schedule and got my AF right on time, I can feel myself on schedule this month too. Still is depressing I guess, by like you said (and my obg too) it can take a while for the body to adjust with out the BC.
I just hope my turn comes soon or I am going to explode!
Alice,
I was just following your posts (on both threads). . .I was anticipating your news, and I'm so sorry it was bfn :-( Just wanted you to know I've been thinking about you and praying you had some great news! I know #3 is in your near future (so says my crystal ball!!) make sure you have some fun trying!! Let me know how you're doing. . .
