How long is your usual luteal phase? Are you beyond that? But really, until you see AF, there's always a chance. Some women get BFPs later than others. That being said, last month I was late and getting BFNs, but I just started late. So, unfortunately you just don't know until you know. It's misery waiting it out, trust me we all know. Hang in there and try to get your mind on something else if you can.

Best of luck,

Headaches are a typical symptom. But yeah, it could also just be a headache. So annoying, I know. I'm having dull cramping, sometimes only on the left side. I'm trying not to read anything into that. Burned by IPS too many darn times!

I did some Internet searching last cycle (when I was obsessing about being late) and found plenty of people saying they didn't test positive until later than most people. I remember one saying she didn't get a BFP until she was 2 weeks late, which seems kind of incredible, but who knows? I'm guessing sometimes people O later than what they think too. Are you sure about when you O'd?

Alex,

Wow, that's totally frustrating. If your temps are up too, I don't blame you for getting your hopes up! I have delayed AF by stressing out over whether I'm pregnant before, so that's a possibility. But gosh, I really hope you are just one of those people that don't see BFPs until later than most!

I'm definitely not getting my hopes up yet. I'm sure I'm just being hyper-sensitive! Goal for today: stay busy. ;)

GL getting through the weekend!!!!

Hey there,


I was just checking your chart out and there is a possibility that you didn't O until CD 15. You temps really went up after CD 15 but FF might be giving you CHs on CD 12 because you have your CM as S after CD 12. If you take S off for your CM that day, FF might move your CHs. Something similar happened to me last cycle, I thought I O'd on CD 20 only to be taking HPTs and getting BFNs at 14 DPO, I asked for people to look at my chart and they all told me that they thought I O'd on CD 24 and sure enough once I changed my CHs AF showed up right on time. I hope you get your BFP either way but you might only be 14 DPO today. Good luck.

Sorry about the spotting. I had the same thing happen to me last month, EW on the day I thought I O'd and dry on the day I finally realized I did O. I was so confused. I stocked up on a lot of OPKs for this cycle to try to help me pinpoint O better and got some preseed too in case the same thing happens again. Hope this next cycle is better to you.

I don't know what else there is to help the quality of CM. I know some girls who have taken Geritol Complete but I don't know exactly what it is supposed to do.


If you are interested, you should come on over to the Lucky Thread, it's under Buddy Groups on the TTC page. They are a wonderful group of ladies and many of them have been TTC for a long, long time so they know a lot more tips/tricks then I do and they are a great support group. We even have a Grads board for when you do get that BFP and it's wonderful for all those questions you have with pregnancy and even raising a little one. Hope to see you there.
