So, I went to my doctor's appointment yesterday & explained to him about being sick & possibly throwing up my BC. I then told him about being due for AF on the 26th but she didn't show except for spotting (pink TP)on the 27th - 28th & that I took a negative test that morning. He gave me the pap & an internal exam & when he was finished said that my cervix didn't have the bluish tinge & he couldn't feel any enlargement so there was no sign of pregnancy. That's fine. He said it was normal to miss a period without being pregnant but that the spotting could have been implantation bleeding to so I should wait a week & test again.

No blood test, no explanation, no offer to get my period started...nothing. I came out feeling exactly the same way as I went in -- clueless. My body is being weird & I can't explain why -- had three BFNs but I'm tired, I'm nauseous, dizzy, breast tenderness, etc...so, either this is really bad PMS or I'm pregnant & just not able to show positive yet. Ugh, I just want to know...

I did have a couple of nasty cramps today so maybe AF is on her way, although I was really sick to my stomach today too -- mixed signals...

Anyway, thanks for letting me vent this out.

Thank you, it's good to know I'm not the only one losing my mind.

Keep me updated on how things are going....I'm not hard to find, I have a big mouth and will no doubt post quite a bit over the next few weeks...lol.

I'm planning on taking another BFN tomorrow, are you planning on testing again soon??

I know exactly what you mean about failing the easy test...it's the best way to describe it. I might take my test when I go home tonight but I'm going to try to hold out.

It definitely sounds like you are pregnant though, how strange. I'm having symptoms of just being tired all the time and peeing like my bladder is the size of a pea with only mild nausea and my cramps aren't really cramps, just my belly feels really tight and then loosens up -- I couldn't imagine changing a potty...you're a brave woman.

It took three weeks of testing to get a faint positive with my youngest even though I did have symptoms & my brain kept telling me I was pregnant. So, I'm waiting -- impatiently. Maybe it's the same for you...

Ooooh, try to wait at least until morning so you can use FMU.

NS is pretty cold & crappy, mostly b/c I'm on an island. It's warming up here so right now it's half snowing, half raining & making a lovely icy mess all over the place. I'll take the warming up over the -35...lol.

I waited & took my test this morning -- another BFN. Today, AF is officially a week late & it's really bothering me where she may have gone. I've been having much the same symptoms as you except for the nausea but I'm tired, no energy, mild cramps, tender breasts,headaches, peeing like crazy and just the feeling of something being "not right". I was due for AF on the Jan 26th, had pink toilet paper on the 27th, 28th & twice on the 29th but that was it...nothing.

I was supposed to start my new pack of pills yesterday but I'm nervous that I'd be taking them while pregnant. So, I skipped them & opted for sponges & condoms until we know for sure. We were waiting until the baby was out of diapers before trying for #3. I have two little girls already -- 4 years & 15 months, so a 3rd right now would be an adventure.

Let me know how things go...

I'm not sure what the pink TP & the cramping could mean. Could be an early warning sign of AF or implantation. I would say that if you're still having all the symptoms, it could still be promising that you are pregnant. DF informed me last night that it took me three weeks of testing to get a positive with my youngest so, I'm holding out that this is the same deal & maybe the same for you too. I do feel like AF is coming though, my stomach has been tight all day, not crampy, just tight.

I did pull a big no-no today & looked at a test after the 10 minute mark. I took it with FMU, I glanced b/c everyone woke up at the same time & it looked like there was only one line. I put the test on top of the toilet & went downstairs, about an hour later I went up to throw it out so DD wouldn't find it. My bathroom has bad light, dark & no window so when I looked at it again, I took a better look & thought I saw something. I ran into my bedroom with the sunlight & could see a very faint line with some pink. It looks like a very faint positive but I'm not sure since it was an hour later. So, I'm going to test again in a couple of days.

That's a crazy dream -- maybe it's a premonition...hehe.
Let me know what's going on....
