well, I give up. I give up being anxious and I give up on testing anymore! AF is 5 days late, and I know others have been more late than that....but I'm usually a 28 day cycle. Sure my nerves can be playing into it, but I hate the disappointment when I fully expect the HPT to say positive. Tomorrow I'm heading for the bloodwork at 1pm to get the answer. Hopefully it's the one I'm looking for! I would just expect to have symptoms of a period coming on rather than the nauseated, extreme fatigue symptoms that are keeping my hopes up for baby #3 right now. Hoping for good news! I'll post whatever I find out!

Good luck!

Good Luck Dawn! I truly hope you get the good news you have been waiting for

[DawnVH]

I haven't got any news yet, but it could be another 1.5 hours until I do......ugh the wait. On a side note, I decided to join a gym today. So that way, if I get disappointing news I will go and work out for the rest of the night and get a head start on trying to lose some of this post baby fat I should have gotten rid of 7 months ago after Este was born.

Good Luck!! Please let us know how it turns out.

Good Luck Dawn, KUP. I was thinking on the same lines as you, about getting back into the gym. If I'm not going to get pg then I am going to get super fit

[DawnVH]

whatever. I guess i'm not pregnant......which is so disappointing to me because now I'm just going to wonder when I am ever going to get my period. Oh well. guess I'll hit the gym!

That's too bad....I know you were very hopeful and when that darn AF doesn't show up, it gets a woman's hopes way up there. Good idea to hit the gym and get out all that stress and frustration, plus you'll get more fit as a result. Hang in there!!

I bet you had a real good workout! I am getting on the treadmill after this!

[LauraTTCat42]

That sux Dawn, sorry. My doctor wasn't very enthusiastic on friday when I told him we were TTC, that was kind of a bummer. So back to the gym for me too.

I'm sorry you didn't get the positive bloodtest. It is frustrating what our bodies can do. I can't remember, but do you track your cycles? Temping, checking your CM or CP? That's the only way I could figure out when/if I O'd and when to expect AF. Last cycle was my very first 28 day cycle, ever, not counting the years I was on birthcontrol pills. Charting was the way I kept my sanity.

[DawnVH]

yep. I'm totally keeping track of cycles. I'm a 28 day cycle and it has been consistant since I gave birth to my daughter 7mo ago. I had been taking ovulation kits to find out when to conceive and it gave the smiley face on the 12th this month. And yet...still no period or postive tests or blood test. I do remember something like this happening after I gave birth to my son. The doctor said it may be due to too much of some kind of a hormone in my body that is elevated and when it levels off I should get my period again.However, they did tell me if I go another week to let them know if I don't get it and they will redo a blood test to make sure again that I am not pregnant. I don't know. I've kinda given up hope on it this month. But really. where is my period? A cousin of mine told me that she had negative tests too and even a negative bloodtest a week after her period was due. She said a week later she tested and she was in fact pregnant. So, I guess there is SOME hope. I still have dizzy spells and nausea sometimes, so I don't know if it's the hormones the doctor was talking about. Noticed a metallic taste in my mouth too. So I really don't know what's going on.Guess I'll keep exercising and at least keep my mind off of it!

I hope you get some answers either way soon. I know that it's frustrating...
