Still waiting....

I'm on CD33 now of the strangest cycle I've ever had in my life. I think I'm about 11-12 dpo. This cycle is strange because as of today, I've really had none of my usual PMS symptoms. No sore BBS (huge sign of impending AF for me), no crabbiness, etc.,

BUT I HAVE had some symptoms that I've NEVER had with PMS before:
* On and off lower backache since CD30 (8-9 dpo)
* Waves of mild nausea on and off for about a week now
* FATIGUE!
* HUNGER
* Frequent urination (even DH noticed that)
* Cramping only on the lower right side of my abdomen
* Sadness (I seriously felt like crying while watching Extreme Home Makeover last night)
* Oh and the BLOATING! I feel like a friggin hot air balloon!!!

I usually get mildly bloated a few days before AF, but this is NOTHING like my usual mild bloat! I've been BLOATED for over a week now and it's HORRIBLE. I feel huge, NONE of my jeans fit right!

This just isn't a normal cycle for me. I tested yesterday (approx. 10-11 dpo) with FMU and got a BFN. I'm going to try to hold out until Wednesday or Thursday to retest. AF's due tomorrow and there are no signs of her. I'm hoping the lack of PMS and the new symptoms are promising! What do you all think?

Hey there! I'm at CD 34 and still nothing. Still SUPER BLOATED and now GASSY (sorry TMI) and last night I had some SERIOUS AF cramps and backache (as if she was here), but when I went to check, there was nothing there but watery/EWCM. I don't know if this is a good sign. Also this morning, I woke up super tired and HUNGRY.

I'm going to try to hold out until Friday to test. By then I'll be "officially" 2-5 days late (I'm not consistent every month) so it varies.

Thanks for the advice. This would be #2 for me. I had my daughter in Feb 2001, but I remember that she was a surprise (condom broke) and that I had NO PMS (just like this time), tested on the day AF was due and got a BFP AND I still got what I thought was AF, but much lighter. So who knows! LOL

Hi there! AF is still a no-show. I'm planning on testing tomorrow morning (I can't believe I made it this long without testing!). I'm on CD 36 of a usual 32-34 day cycle, so I'm definitely late.

I still have the cramping, it's almost constant now, especially on my right abdomen and my entire back. It sucks. I'm constantly bloated and GASSY, absolutely FAMISHED when I wake up in the morning, and totally nauseous if my stomach gets remotely near empty. OH, and I literally have to pee every 45 minutes. I've gained 2" on my waistline (because of the bloating) but haven't gained a single pound either... VERY strange.

I'll keep ya posted on what happens tomorrow morning when I test!!! Keep us posted on your test results too! Good luck! :)

I am VERY GASSY (i kept thinking, is this a sign?) and crampy in right side mostly and lower back pain. AND i want to DIE if my stomach is empty, it makes me feel soooo sick. I tested this morning and it was negative.

Have you called your doctor yet? 19 days late is a really long time not to be getting a BFP ! Your doc could give you a blood test which should be more accurate than a POAS. Good luck!

My doc isn't open on Fridays, which is my day off.
