    Question AF is late, but BFN's

    Hi all,

    Not really sure what's going on. I have very regular 25 day cycles since coming off the pill in December and now first cycle TTC and I am 2 days late, and if AF doesn't turn up today that make 3 days late. I have tested twice using FMU with Confirm and Crystal Clear HPT's and got 2 BFN's.

    Strange thing is I don't even have any AF symptoms at the moment. I'm a bit funny in the stomach, but other than that nothing. I keep running to the toilet because I think she has arrvied....ARGH!!!!

    Not sure what I should do from here as this is all so new to me......It is driving me crazy.

    When should I test again or should I go to the doctor's and get a BT?? (I have a needle phobia - to even suggest a needle is just plain crazy)!

    Please help.

    Karla

    This might be TMI info but if you are feeling wetter than normal like AF is coming then there is a good chance that you may actually be pg. Usually when AF is due then you are quiet dry down there iykwim. I would leave it a week if you can hold out and test again, if you still get BFN then maybe go see the DR. I agree with the stress, its a nasty thing that mucks everything up.
    Good luck

    Everything has just been so crazy over the past 2 weeks – I wasn’t sure if I should celebrate or not.
    But I think I can now.

    I went to the Dr’s on Anzac Day and had a BT and my HCG levels came back at 32. Had a repeat BT 3 days later and the levels were 130. Still very low so I didn’t want to get too excited.

    Since then I have had all the tell tale signs, but have had really bad cramping so I went and saw the OB on Monday and had another BT and the levels have increase to 2700. Very good sign. He did a u/s and saw a little sack in the uterus, but was unable to see anything inside yet as it is really early, only about 5 weeks.
    I now have to have another BT next Wednesday to make sure everything is progressing as it should be and another u/s the Friday after. Seems like I have been waiting forever now!!!

    Thanks for checking in on me I have been a bit absent minded lately!!!

    Still have my fingers crossed hoping that everything is ok.

    Congrats Karla sounds like you do have something to celebrate. All the best for a happy and healthy preg.

    Can i just ask you a quick question, other than AF being a bit late, did you have any other symptoms? Like was your CM different? Sore BB's? Different typre of cramps, etc?

    Thank you

    This was our first month TTC so we weren't charting or anything. I had no CM at all so I thought that it was over for the month (that added to the fact that we only BD'd twice on day's 15 and 21 of a 25 day cycle). I even have a brand new sealed bottle of Evening Primrose Oil that I was going to start taking to bring my CM back. That I obviously don't need now.

    I started getting AF signs a week before AF was due, which is strange for me. But I didn't get the for 5 days after AF was due. I mainly just had that really low down cramping feeling that always makes me think that I have to run to the toilet and check because it feels like AF just started - IYKWIM

    The cramping has pretty much stuck around the the (.Y.)'s are so so sore! DH is not happy that they are off limits at the moment!

    Now I just have to sit tight until next weeks appointments. Can't wait, I am like a jack in the box at the moment!!!

    Well done Karla, i thought as much. Be good to see you in the announcements now.
    Walking Art, you dont tend to feel anything till about 12wks, the increased CM is usually a good indicator as when AF comes you dont get that and also the late AF. Everyone is different though.
