Well, I have not been on here in almost a year now but have decided to return because I am finally ready to move on. As you can tell from my signature I have had some sadness as have all of you which is why I am here. None of you judge me, hopefully and many of you know the emotions that I go through on a daily basis. I can't say that about my family or even my husband.
Here is the current situation: Last period July 24th, conception would have been around July 9th, neg urine test yesterday and today BUT I feel pregnant. (Moody, peeing alot, tender breasts, STARVING, tired beyond belief) My cycles run anywhere from 25-38 days never the same and always different in duration.
Here is the question- At what point do I demand a blood test at the OB/GYN? I called yesterday and the nurse said when is your period due? We will do one 2 days after that. I don't even know when to say my period is due and with every day that my period doesn't start, my excitement rises. Is this wrong?
Please tell me that what I am feeling is normal- That my heightened glory is ok and that I can/will get through this whatever comes my way.
Thanks and it is nice to be home!!

Well, most OBs would be going with a 28 day cycle to predict when a period was due, and even with your probable conception date, your period should be due today. I think I would wait another 3 or 4 days to see if you can get a positive. If by then you've not gotten your period or a bfp, I'd call your ob. Tell them your period was due yesterday (22nd) and see what they say.

I personally never get a bfp until AF is 2-4 days late.

I totally get you, hun. I have weird, unpredictable cycles, too. Every day my period doesn't start, I get hopeful, too. So far for me, it's been my confusing my weird new PMS symptoms for pregnancy every cycle since the miscarriage. It doesn't help I lost my baby almost exactly a year ago to the day. If I get pregnant now, it would put in the same DDC as I was last year, which would be bitter sweet. The last few cycles have been mostly normal (28-35 days), because for a while I was having a very light period once every 2 months. My period is due between July 24 (day of the miscarriage last year) and July 28. I'll start testing on the 24th.

What you are feeling emotionally is very normal. Sometimes, physical feelings of pregnancy could just be PMS, since they are kinda similar. I never had PMS symptoms at all until the cycles after my miscarriage, so I've pretty much stopped holding my breath every cycle to see if I get a bfp. I recommend you do the same or you will drive yourself mad. I know I did, but I was a bit off my rocker to begin with.. lol

I'm sorry you are having unpredictable cycles. It can be very frustrating. I think if I were in your shoes I would try to wait it out until I passed my longest cycle length (of course, I would be using hpt's in the meantime before calling the doctor.

It won't help for this cycle, but have you ever charted your bbt or used OPK's to get an idea of when you ovulate and when you should expect your period?

Welcome back . That is super frustrating to have unpredictable cycles. I agree with Brittanie tell them it was due the 22nd . I hope that this is your month and you go on to have a wonderful Rainbow baby.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words and advice. I am still waiting for my AF but did have some slight spotting this morning. (I had spotting with both of my girls so I am still hopeful.)
Today is day 30 so I am going to just hold off until Monday for another test and a call to the DR.
Good luck to all of you as well!!
