Who else is 6 days late

6 days late today. Tested with a walgreens brand and it was very very very faint. I also don't know if I read it within the time frame. Don't know what to think. I have a dr. appt tomorrow, but I can't wait to find out especially since AF has never been late before. I've taken a test called Accu-Clear which looks like the same tests as the walgreens, same package and everything and absolutely no line whatsoever. I'm still not convinced of anything and I guess I'll have to wait till dr. appt to find out. Wish me luck and good luck to all of you.

5 days late and waiting. I'm going crazy. AF is almost never late. I took a hpt (FRE) again today and still BFN. What's a girl to do? My dh thinks I'm going nuts, but I told him I just want to know either way. It's our first month of trying so I was okay with the fact that we might not get pg the first time. So why am I late? I told him if AF came for her visit I would be disappointed, yes, but, like I said, it is our first month of trying. I just need to know. If AF does show up now, I think I will be more disappointed than I would have been if it would have came when it was suppose to (mainly because it's tricking me now). Am I or aren't I?

Good Luck

I think that's the question on everyone's mind. Am I or aren't I, that is the question. I know it's irritating when you're late and still getting -HPT. I guess I'll find out tomorrow what's going on.

Good luck to you tomorrow. I'm debating on whether to call the doc or not. Even though I really want to know, I think I'll wait until next week, Tuesday. If I haven't started by then, I'm definately calling. I think I'm also going to wait to take another hpt until Monday. My dh is going out of town until then and I would really like to wait until he gets home. This is what I say, but Monday is so far away. Best of luck to the both of us. Keep me posted.

P.S. What do you think. Should I call my primary physician or my OB/GYN for a test?

It is so frustrating! Waiting is the hardest part. I read on a fertility Web site that the best drug store pregnancy test, in terms of accuracy, is the First Response test. It measures the lowest levels of HCG in your body and actually can detect a pregnancy three days before your period is supposed to start. Might be worth picking up that brand today. Good luck!!!

I would call your OB/GYN. They are of course more knowlegable on the subject. That way they let you know what's going on better. Good luck.

I just want to say good luck to the both of you because I was suppose to start last Friday when my DH and I were on vacation and I didn't, so I took a HPT in our hotel room and guess what....BFP!!

hi Susan, I am in the same boat...this is our first month of trying and I am 5-6 days late. How long have you been off birth control? I stopped taking it in June. My doc said it is best to wait a couple months so the hormones from the pill get out of my system. I tested negative on Saturday and am hesitant to take another test. Of course, I am dying to take another one, but I don't want to be disappointed. I am trying to hold out til the weekend. Good luck and I will keep my fingers crossed for both of us!

Alicia. It does sound like we are pretty much at the same place. I never have been on BC pills. We mostly use natural family planning methods. We have one son already and with him I tested a BFN one week post AF but positive 2 weeks post AF. So, I'm still holding out hope. The only difference is that last time I just used a regular hpt where as this time I've been using First Response Early. I was sure that test would show early for sure. Anyway, I'm hardly ever late. The only time I have ever been late is when I was pregnant with son, and for a couple of months after I stopped BFing my son. Other than that I've been regular at 27-28 days, mostly 27. So, I'm just waiting...waiting...waiting.

Good Luck.

Susan,

Are you having any symptoms? This will be our first baby, if I am pregnant, so I am totally new at this. I am usually like clockwork, 25 days. Last week I had major headaches and some nausea that kind of came in waves...it felt kind of like being carsick. I also have felt a little crampy, but not bad. I usually have cramps so bad that I keep a heating pad on my abdomen. Am I imagining things or making my PMS symtoms into pregancy symptoms? (I am driving myself nuts..LOL). When are you testing again? Keep me posted :)
