Sunday: I got horrible front side of the uterus cramps (wacky but that's the only way to describe it!) ...google suggested UTI/bladder infection though I had no problems using the bathroom.

Wednesday night: the goofiest back cramps (lower back... like back labor) and it made my legs achy and crampy. It was horrible.

Yesterday I peed ALL. DAY. LONG. Since then it's seriously been every 30 minutes at least. Yesterday was closer together than that, but I haven't had anything to drink this morning (need coffee!) just to test it out.

I am now 16DPO. NEVER have I gone over 14DPO without AF showing up (except when I was like 21 and had a cyst burst). I had a BFN on DPO's 10, 12, and last night... with my daughter I got my BFP on 10DPO.

I'd be a little more excited than this but we only got to BD ONE time around the magical time-the night before my husband's embolization, which was the night before ovulation-so I REALLY don't know what to think.

It wouldn't be a big deal-I could wait it out-I called our nurse hotline this morning and she said it doesn't sound like a UTI so she scheduled a pregnancy test for Monday but I have my scope done on Tuesday... so nothing like my body to throw me for a loop, huh?! Last night we BD'd to try and bring on AF because usually it'll kickstart it... but NOTHING this morning, not even when I REALLY try to invade my cervix!

Any thoughts?

No thoughts here, but I say as long as the witch hasn't shown up, it could mean good things!! Since you've gotten those BFN's, I'd probably just wait for the bloodtest on Monday (they should get you the results the same day due to your procedure on Tuesday) then you'll know for sure!

Good luck and keep us posted!!

I think they are just doing a urine-though I may go up to GYN (the military has alll of the departments in the hospital) to beg for a blood test instead!

i'm with jackie, no af is a good sign. some ladies don't get pos hpts till later on. not sure why. i would tell them that you've already done urine tests and you need blood test. good luck!

I wonder if you may have O'ed a little later than you thought? That would make your AF seem late (I hope she doesn't show at all cause you're pregnant though).

Either way, I hope that you get some answers soon! Good luck!

Definitely thought of that and scrutinized my chart trying to find where I (and FF) messed up and got it wrong! My whole cycle is about 4 days longer than usual though. Seriously, still strange. Went in and got tested for a UTI last night, which came back negative. The lady looked at me like I was an idiot when I was talking about going to the bathroom a LOT and then AF being late! I bet she snuck a pregnancy test into my urinalysis to try and prove me wrong Sooo I guess we'll still play the waiting game... going to pick up more dollar tests today because I can't justify using my other digi, especially if it's just a incorrect charting thing!

Just kidding... here she comes! I'm still thoroughly confused about this month, but just glad I know one way or the other!

Helloooo, I had a crazy month last month. I did my first round of Clomid/trigger shot, 3 great looking eggs, did it the natural way (no IUI) and had crazy cramping from the day I ovulated until CD33 (usually a 28-29 day). That day, CD33, I woke up with super crazy cramps and lower back pain and thought it was AF with a vengeance. (I did many HPT all neg.) I went to Urgent Care cause I thought something must be way wrong ( I did have a bad reaction of visual disturbance with the Clomid). They did a blood test that was also neg. ultrasounds were "normal" although they told me straight out that they don't normally look for ovarian cysts (ya, what?). I only spotted very light for two days beginning that day. Based on my uterine lining it should have been a normal flow. So with all that I am pretty sure I was over stimulated and ruptured a cyst (which I guess wouldn't show up on ultrasound). Or a kidney stone is another possibility, that is hard to diagnose unless they "catch" the stone in your urine and we all know that isn't happening. Those are worse than child labor too.

So if you know you have had a cyst before that was painful, you may have had another. I know it's hard not to have real answers but at least you know now that your AF came and it's game on, again. :]

Good Luck!

i'm sorry she showed, but glad you aren't in limbo land anymore. good luck with your next cycle!
