what is my body doing to me??

AF was due Tuesday and she has not shown. Yet I've taken test after test and they are negative. My cycles have always been very regular 28/29 days. The only time they've been late was when I was pregnant. Any ideas why this suddenly could be going on?

Am I remembering right that you have a later ovulation (like CD20)? If you ovulated on CD20 this cycle, you might not expect AF (or a BFP

) until CD34 or so.

after a loss our bodies can actually change. I went from a faithful 21 day cycle for 15+ years to a 24/25 day cycle. Also sometimes it can take a few months for your body to balance out and go back to normal for you.

((Hugs)) I know how frustrating it can be!

Yes, I got a postive OPK on day 20. Just don't get it cause last month I also got a + on day 20/21 and still got AF on day 29.

This is craziness! I have my first RE appt on Monday, so I guess I'll talk with him about it if it still hasn't shown.

Your LP after you ovulate should be 12-14 days for a pregnancy to actually take so it might be a good thing AF hasn't arrived yet hun. And I agree with the other ladies that your body could have changed since having a m/c. I know it is VERY frustrating hugs!

would my body change all of a sudden though? I had my loss in September, so I've had 3 cycles already that were my typical length.

You can have unusual cycles every now and then. I think pretty much everyone does, especially after a loss. It's frustrating, but usually nothing major is wrong. And like Katie said, maybe it's a good thing your LP is longer than last cycle. I hope your missing AF turns into a BFP.

It's definitely possible your cycle is just wacky this time around. I normally O between cd16-18. Last cycle I O'd on cd24. This cycle I was back to cd16/17. I agree with Katie that it's a good thing that AF hasn't come yet, because it means your LP is getting longer than it was last month.
