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?

Let us know how the blood test goes hun! Fingers crossed.

My update is that I tested this morning and got a BFN. Go figure. I'm on CD 37. My nips are now sensitive/sore and I'm crabby, so maybe that's AF about to show her ugly face. If she doesn't show by next Wednesday, then I'm off to get more tests...

This sucks, I'm at least 3 days late and got a BFN. I'm assuming I O'd late, but I don't chart or anything so I really don't know.

Maybe next time!

Hey there! It's nice to know you care! LOL

Anyways, I'm now on CD 38! I'm officially 3-5 days late (I'm pretty irregular, but NEVER this late!). I took a First Response HPT yesterday and it was BFN. The cramps, backache, and bloating are pretty much gone. Oh and starting yesterday afternoon, I noticed that my nips are sore/sensitive and my breasts are sore on the sides. It's a little worse today. IDK what to think. If AF's not here by Wednesday I am going to retest (if I can hold out that long, that is!).

So, I'm still playing the waiting game. We'll see what happens.

I'm STILL waiting...

Today is day 42 of a 32-34 day cycle. This is the LONGEST cycle I have EVER had.

My boobs and nips are very SORE! OUCH! I've been LIGHTLY spotting for the past 3 days then nothing today. Did I mention my boobs are sore?! LOL They're also veiny. Noticed that yesterday. My chest broke out pretty badly on Monday. I've had a very short temper for the past few days. I've still been pretty bloated and constipated, sorry if all of this is TMI... just thought I'd throw my symptoms out there.

I was going to take another test today (last test was last Friday, BFN) but I didn't have one and didn't feel like rushing out, so I'm going to buy one tomorrow and test this Friday if AF's still not here by then. I'm over a week to 10 days late, so IDK what to think...

I'm thinking that this is just a screwy cycle (next week is finals, so maybe I'm delayed because of that...) I'll keep you guys posted on what happens...

I've been a lurker on this post as well and I'm anxious to hear the results!

Took my test this morning, an Equate +/- test from Walmart. I'm on CD 44, longest ever cycle, and got a BFN. I've been spotting for the past few days, so I'm thinking AF's on her way and that I just ovulated very late this cycle. Thanks for caring! :)

I *think* I got AF on Saturday. It started out very light, a little heavier than just spotting. Yesterday it was medium flow and today it's virtually gone. By BBS are still sore and full, so I really don't know what's up. I think I'm just having a really weird cycle, probably due to stress from finals...
