wheres AF??

samspain · #1 June 10th, 2008, 03:39 AM

I don�t know what is happening, I always have 33-35 day cycles and have never gone more than 36 in the past 5 years. This month I seem to have lost AF, now I am on CD 47, she is 14 days late, and there really is no sign of her. I have tested every other day for 2 weeks, and I don�t think that many tests can give false negatives!!.

This is starting to get me down, almost as much as when AF turns up!!, I just think that all the time she is missing we are on hold, probably �t�ll take a cycle to get back to normal, then waiting to O then the 2 ww and its all getting too much.
I am really thinking about starting to temp and chart, but that makes me feel like I am giving in and accepting that this is a long term thing

and DH was being a bit funny, but then he said he just didnt know how to react or what to say, so at least we have that sorted, and hes being really sweet now.

Any ideas??

I would go in for a quantititive blood test if you can. It is possible to not get a positive for weeks or even months even though you're pregnant. At least it'll give you a definitive answer. Don't look at charting as giving in either. It's something that I plan to do even when we're not TTC because it makes cycles so much more predictable. If you ever O late because of stress or whatever, or you O early for some reason, at least you'll know so you'll still know when to expect AF. It helps you know more about your body and I just find it a real comfort. Go get that blood work done though. I didn't have a positive with DD until 12 weeks (blood test) and I didn't have a positive with DS until 18 weeks (urine test). Speaking from experience, just get the blood test done so you're sure.

I agree with MamaAnna, go get a blood test done. I also agree about charting. I only did it for 3 months, but it really helped me see what my body was doing and when. G/L to you

I'm right there with ya! I'm on CD 42, with no AF and no positive HPT. If I don't get AF this weekend I'm going to call my Doctor to see what he can do. Hang in there girl!

Yes, go get a blood test. Its better to know instead of it all being up in the air.

I think charting is a good thing...it can be very helpful to clear up what is going on with your body. My midwife even has me bring my charts in so we can discuss them.

Good luck!

Wow you are really late. I am so sorry your body is messing with you

I would call and get a blood test asap and if that is a bfn then i would get into your dr. and see what is going on.

Thanks girls, I had no idea that some people don�t get a bfp on a hpt until 12 weeks, thats got me thinking

, I will wait till DH comes back from his on call and see if he agrees that a bloodtest is good. (he works in the Clinical analysis and fertility testing lab, so I�ll get him to take blood and test it).
Its just a pain, I was used to her showing up every month 4 days after the bfn!!

I hope you can get the test done and get the results back quickly. You're so lucky your DH works at the lab. Try to make sure you get it done. Otherwise you could be waiting for AF until your belly suddenly pops out!

Yesterday i had my DH take blood and he sent it to the lab for double inspection and they came back inconclusive

, I have low levels of hcg but not enough to be as pregnant as lmp suggests. The other DR said I could have been stressed by the wedding and just o�d very late. (but its 16 days, thats very late). He said to take a hpt twice a week, and on the day I expect my 2nd missed AF, if she hasnt made an appointment, then they will do an U/S.
This is like chinese water torture, time is just dripping by, and I don�t even know when/if I o�d.

Inconclusive?? That is complete torture! Hopefully it's a good sign though. When was the last time you took a HPT? I would want to be peeing on the sticks every day, twice a day!

Good luck!
