Should I give up?

I am currently 2 days late for af, and an hpt came back negative. I wish I would either get a + or af would come. It is possible that I am just having a longer cycle this month, as I am recently off bcp, and I know that happens. I just really really want to be pg and I'm scared that I'm not.

I would just wait and see. Don't try to convince yourself you are or are not. Sometimes it takes HCG a few weeks even to show, depending on the person. And as you said though coming off b/c could cause it also. Wait a week, then see what comes of it. I know waiting is hard to wait not knowing. But time will always tell. I wouldn't give up, but I also wouldn't get overly excited. If your just off the b/c then you have just started to TTC, and most of us dont get pregnant right away. Your trying to create a whole new life, when its time, it will come.

i am totally with you

i am 3 days late and I took a test this morning and it was neg. but who knows

when i was pg with my first son i went to the doctors and took a test and it came up neg and then 3 weeks later i went and tested again and it was positive so who knows. I have to remind myself that i need to be patient and just wait and see.

I know I need to be patient. I also know that the chances are small since we just started ttc. I guess what worried me is that I know if it doesn't happen this month, we will probably put off ttc until next year. We really want a May baby because it would give me the most time home with him or her before going back to work (I'm a teacher). I'm just starting to want to forget that and go for it no matter when the baby comes.
