*deep breath*

I'm 2 weeks late. I tested neg about 5 days ago. I should probably test again, but I sure don't feel pregnant. (After two kids, you think I'd know, right)

My cycles were different after my son. We nursed for a little over a year and that entire year I didn't have a cycle, so that rocked.

This last year my cycle has changed to around 34 days instead of 28. I rounded it up to 36 to be on the safe side and yep, I'm 2 weeks over due from the 36 day mark. 2 weeks ago I had the pms symptoms including a teeny tiny (I mean microscopic) bit of pink spotting. Nothing since then. Except the last few days (about 4 or so) I've had some very mild cramping.

So any ideas as to what could cause a skipped period other than pregnancy? (I was very sick in the beginning of my pregnancies)

Thanks for any input.

Hello kredfoto! :)


Well, when I was about 2 weeks last for AF a few months ago (hpts and blood tests all said negative), my doctor sent me in for an ultrasound to see if I might have ovarian cysts. She said it's not a big deal, usually doesn't affect fertility either (whch was good for me, since I'm only JUST now starting to TTC my first).


One of the big symptoms is missing a period, or having a delayed one. Maybe have your doctor doa blood test to definitely rule out pg, then maybe mention cysts?


Good luck! I hope everything turns out ok... are you hoping you are pregnant??

Thanks for the input. I'm wondering about cysts because I had them with my last pregnancy.

I'm really not letting myself hope. But *if* I am, we sure won't be upset about it! He's getting snipped next month.
