Good morning Ladies! Hope everyone is having a great day so far!

I need some advice here.... I am on cycle day 47 now and no sign of AF. I have had ewcm since "O" as well. Actually, the cm is EWCM mixed with lotiony type cm. (sorry TMI).

I have been out of town for a week and have not tested in about 10 days, but I did get about 4 BFN's at about 15 - 20 days past "O". I tested about every 3 days up to 10 days ago.

I get AF type pangs in my bb's every now and then - they are not that painful, and they dont hurt when I take off my bra, etc. like I have read most women get when they are pg. I also have off and on AF - or "O" type cramps - they are not consitant, and they happen once or twice a day.

ANYONE have any idea what may be going on? Could I be pg and just not be testing postive yet? And if I was, wouldnt I have some REAL symptoms, at least one?

I am planning on testing again, but hate to spend another $15! ha! ha!

Please help -

Thanks in advance everyone!!

Stephanie, it sounds like a call to your OB is in order. They will be able to check everything out and help you figure out what's going on. Sorry I don't have more help for you than that. (((hugs))) This must be a very confusing and stressful time for you. ~ Karen

Of course it is possible, but if you got many BFN's 15-20 days then I dont know. I think I would definately test again soon. Its so hard to say what your pains may be from because AF and pregnancy symptoms can be so much alike. And no, you wouldnt necesarilly be feelig symptoms yet. Many women dont feel them for weeks if at all, so dont let that be your indicator. How many days past O are you? 25-30? I would say if you get a BFN again then you are just having a long cycle, but TEST, TEST, TEST! Good luck!

Wow Stephanie...sounds to me like you could be pg!!! It's been a while since you've tested, so I would definitely say to test again. How long are your cycles normally? From your message, it seems like you O'd at least 25-30 days ago, right? Unless you have a REALLY, REALLY long LP, there's definitely *something* going on. Let's hope it's that you're pg! If you take another test and get a BFN, I would definitely call your doctor and fill he or she in. I'm 5 weeks pg today and still have AF/O like cramps/pain off and on. I've also had the twinges you speak of. Anyway, there are definitely women out there that have gone as long, or longer than you that keep getting BFNs but are, in fact, pg. Some women just take much longer to build up the pg hormone HCG. Well, I hope that you find your answers soon...good luck to you!

Cheers!

Thanks for responding!!

I O'd about the 14th of July - So I am about 4 weeks past O now. GEEEZ I just thought about that! My cycles are 28 - 35 days every month. (usually) And my CM is always the same cycle - (Dry, then gooey, then ewcm, then thick, then dry...)

This month it has not changed since O - Its just been Really wet and EWCM/lotiony.

I hope there isnt anything wrong with me! I am 33 and never thought I would have such a hard time TTC. We have been trying for over a year now. I have an appt. to see my OB in September. (I made this appt last month - it takes FOREVER to get in with her.)

What do you think?
