Is there any hope - 10 days late

OK - I will try to make this short and to the point.......
I miscarried and had a d&c in September. Since then I have had normal 27-28 day cycles. I was suppose to start seeing the dr. this month, to discuss some fertility treatment options. (it took us 3 years to conceive the first time - then the miscarriage)

Well, I was suppose to go in for an ultrasound day 3 of my cycle......and wouldn't you know it - I haven't started yet!!

I have tested 4 times - all negative!!! I would love to be pregnant and not deal with all the treatments and dr. visits and exams again. But - I would assume that if I was PG - I should test positive by now. I also don't really have any symptoms - and the symptoms I think I have - are probably caused from the terrible stomach flu bug I had last week????

My dr is out of the office until Thursday, once she gets back the nurse I spoke to on Monday is suppose to call me back. She said they will probably do a pg test in the office, and then if still negative put me on somthing to 'induce' my cycle.

Any words of advice or encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS!

I was just talking to someone today who kept getting negatives even after her AF was 10 days late. She went to the doctor's and got a blood test and it was positive. She now has a beautiful baby girl. Some women do not test positive on HPTs. And since you've been pretty regular, I would say to ask your doctor for a blood test when you are able to go in. Good luck and I hope you are indeed pregnant!

Thank you so much for your response!
My husband is convinced that it is just stress, and he doesn't want to get his hopes up that I may indeed be PG. But it is so hard for me not to sit here and think about it 24x7. :-( I am sure I am totally obsessed about it - but don't know how not to be.
I guess if I am not - I just wish AF would show up!!!

The drive home today was killer! I really just wanted to stop and buy another test!!!! But I am suppose to hear from the doctor tomorrow - and I am hoping they have me come in for a test. As of tomorrow I will be 12 days late........ still no AF - and still feeling pretty icky off and on. I do not think that there is any way that flu bug is hanging on for this long. But I am trying so hard not to get my hopes up!!!!
