Pregnant or Not?

Hey all. I am officially one day late today. I have already experienced since O'ing, a YI which is not common for me, cramps, mood swings, feeling very weepy, nautious.....

I have taken two tests and both times got BFN's. Could it be possible there isn't enough hormone yet? I'm confused. I also noticed one tiny spot of blood on TP yesterday and today. I'm wondering if I should doc in a.m. to schedule blood test....

What do you ladies think?

Hello, I don't have the article handy since cancelling my membership, but consumer reports did a study on HPTs and found out 10% of pregnant women do not have enough hormone to get a positive on the 1st day of the missed period. That's a pretty big stat. Please give us an update and let us know how you are doing!

Hello,

I read by a poster from this board that she had read a huge study saying that the majority of women do not have enough HcG in their system to get a BFP until 7-14 days AFTER AFNW date. So that would be (if you are on a 28 day cylce) 21-28 dpo. It's a long time to wait, but I guess if that study is true, then you may just need more time for that little baby to grow! :-)

GL to you!

As you know you and I are in the same boat (leaky though it might be). I have had several pg symptoms but have noticed blood on tissue this AM. I am 11 DPO and AF should arrive tomorrow. Temps are still up. I thought blood was a sign of AF's arrival but DH pointed out this is not the usual way I get AF, different color ( very light) (sorry!!!) and there could still be hope. I'm trying not to worry about it. By the way this si exactly what happened with DS, I could have sworn from blood that AF had out manuevered me again but 2 days later....BFP! How many DPO are you? ++++++++++++++++ vibes to you!!

As tough as it's going to be I'm going to wait this week out until at least Fri. Although I hate to sit and think I have all these symptoms, I'm not sure whether to actually believe myself or not! I am now 2 days late which is definately not like me at all. Every time I go to the bathroom and wipe I pray I won't see AF! I just read your other post Jen and I'm sorry you're not preg. I might be experiencing the same thing as you, who knows?? I think I ovulated either the 19th or 20th so who knows maybe I am testing too early. I got my LH surge on the OPK on the 18th.
