(x-posted) Sad and confused...

I have not had a PP AF (though I never have regular periods). I was taking OPKs, and got really, really close to a positive on the 19th. We were DTD every other day anyways. I had some cramping every day, have been bloated, really moody, and have a big increase in CM (white, lotion-like), been nauseous, and I am sooo tried. I should be about 13 DPO, and I took an Answer pg test this morning, and it was a BFN. I am so confused by my symptoms. There was no line at all. Could I still be pregnant? What could the symptoms be (it's been a week and a half like this).

I dont know much about OPKs so I dont know if a nearly positive is a nearly positive. If you havent had your first PP AF this could be not a normal cycle to begin with. I really hope you get an answer too. I am sorry honey

It's hard to say without charting and without having had a PP AF.
I know your body *can* gear up with LH surges (or close to a surge) several times without actually releasing an egg. It's normal for your body to gear up several times before finally following through and ovulating when you've gone a long time without Oing.

We were NTNP until I got my PP AF b/c it was impossible to guess what was going on until then. I didn't get AF until I weaned at 10 months, but everyone is different.
I did chart for awhile before my AF and I did ovulate first, but only had a 9-day LP.

Thanks, that makes sense. It is so frustrating because I am still cramping, bloated, and sick to my stomach. Ugh.

AF has been very different for me since I've had DD. Every month I feel very nauseous, severe backache, dizziness, etc. I never had that before I got pg the first time. Maybe you're body has changed and now you are experiencing new things. Also, I didn't get my first PP AF until DD was 13 and a half months old. I remember feeling like AF was coming for about 2 months before she finally showed.

Not many answers for you, but maybe you're body is just gearing up to O or for AF to come. Best of luck to you!!!
