I feel like my body is playing tricks on me

So today is 14 DPO and of course, I tested and got yet another BFN this morning.

I'm so upset! I don't know what to think anymore! My temp went up another 0.3 degrees this morning and this is the longest LP without spotting I have had in a long time, since last summer after I got off the pill probably. My CM was EWCM for about 6 days around 8DPO then for the last 2 days it has gotten very thick and creamy, much thicker than I have ever noticed it being before (sorry for the TMI!). My cervix is just covered with the stuff, there's so much! I just want to know what's up with my body! I sure hope I'll just end up being one of those women who gets a BFP later on, but I know that the statistics are against me, usually an EPT should show up positive by now, right? Any ideas or comments as to what is up? I'm so confused! Maybe FF was wrong about O time, but I doubt it because I got my OPK strips in the mail late this cycle (I had ran out) and saw a faded line (dark but not as dark as the control line) the day after O was detected in FF. Then I tested again when I saw EWCM a week later and no line at all, so the line the week before was probably from the left over LH in my body right after O. Does that make any sense to you ladies? Anyways, just looking for comments or ideas to keep me going while I wait I guess.

I'm horrible at waiting! I DESPISE the 2WW so much!

hi hun, sorry your being fooled by your body. gosh do i know how that feels...

ok, i'm giving you my honest opinion. stats aren't good for you here, with getting a bfn at 14dpo, BUT ladies have gotten late bfps. i've seen it happen tons of times. i don't want to give you false hopes, but i say, as long as AF doesn't visit, you are in this!!!!! don't lose faith till she shows (if she shows and i hope she doesn't). i'm keeping everything crossed for you. your temps look great, but i've been fooled by high temps in the past. just keep praying!! I hope this is it for you girl!!! common late bfp!!!!

Thanks Lynda! It's just so hard to sit and wait when you just want it so bad and it feels like everyday it's slips away a little further with less chances of getting a BFP, you know?

I have a friend that didn't get a BFP till 18dpo with one of her kids and she was testing every day after a certain point (10 or 12 dpo I think).

My LP's are usually only 14-15days long. If you wanted to, you could call and request a blood test if you still are getting BFN's and no spotting in a couple days.

Your temps are looking good and no spotting yet, so you're still in it!! You could have just implanted late and it may be taking longer to show up on a test. You're not out till AF shows and my fingers are crossed for you that she doesn't show at all!!

I'm wondering if you O'ed later than you thought? FF only gave you dotted CH's. Your temps are up and down until CD 23. Do you have any EPS or AF signs?

Hmm... maybe you did O later than you thought? I'm hoping either that or that you're one of those late BFP ladies... I'll say some prayers for you!!!!

Your chart has a different pattern altogether starting at CD 23... It's really hard to say. I will keep sending positive thoughts your way!

I agree that my chart is a bit wierd, but my crosshairs were dark until I entered EWCM at 8DPO, then they got dotted because fertile CM was detected after O, but I did an OPK then to double check and it was white, no line at all (from what I remember). I think I may have Oed 1 or 2 days later than my chart said, but I doubt it was a week late. I dunno, we'll have to wait and see I guess! As for symptoms, it's strange because I only seem to have sensitive boobs at times and I've been more tired lately, but that could just be the end of the school year wearing me down a bit. The abundance of creamy, thick white CM is the strangest symptom I am having, have never had this kind of CM before that I've noticed. And it's strange because I feel like I'm not feeling the way I usually feel around AF, usually I feel a dull backache and I don't have that at all yet.

I tried an OPK as a HPT tonight (I read some stuff online about it) as to not use another HPT. The line was quite dark, medium I would say, but not quite as dark as the control line. I'm pretty sure it was non-existant last week when I double checked my O time when FF gave me dotted lines. I hope it means HCG is starting to be detected. I'll be taking another HPT in the morning.
