I'M SO CONFUSED

I am two weeks late and i have already taken a pregnancy test about 6 days after my missed period. It was neg but i still havent started. I have no signs of being pregnant. No nausea, no soreness, no nothing. I'm worried that maybe i took the test too soon. Could i still be pregnant or is there some other reason that i still haven't started?

You should start your period about 14 day after you ovulate. If you ovulated late then your period will be late. Or if you ovulated late you would not expect to get a + pg test around your normal period. You would have yo wait a little longer.

Many women ovualte around CD14. Then, start AF about 14 days later. That is why the typical cycle is said to be 28 days. If you are stressed, ovulation may be delayed. But, once you have ovulated, AF will be there in about 14 days.

There are 3 main signs of ovulation. 1) Basal Body Temperature. This is your temperature first thing in the morning b4 you even get out of bed. After ovualtion your BBT increases. 2) Cervical Mucus. Around the time of ovulation CM gets stretchy like egg whites. I remember thinking, what am I looking for? Will I know it? The first time you know this is what you are seeing, you will not forget it. 3) Cervical Position. Your CP changes when you are ovulating. This has been very difficult for me to do.

I just watch for CM. I know when I see egg whites, AF should be here within two weeks.

Hope this helps. How long is your cycle normally? Is it regular? If you normally have a 32 day cycle, this would mean that ovulation occurred on about CD 18. CD 1 is the first day of your AF. You should be able to get a + pg test about 14 days past ovulation. Some women do not get a positive until after they have actually missed AF, some get a + a few days before they mis AF.

GL on you wait.

So i took a pg test last night and this morning and they both immediatly were neg. My last period started on may 2. I saw the signs of ovulating last week. Once you told me i remembered i had noticed the CM last week. So that means that i should have my period next week right?? If im not pregnant(obviously from the 3 tests) then is it normal to skip a month? I'm have been irreg b4 but ive never skipped a month.
