if you had IUI - even if your body delayed ovulation and implantation, you would have shown traces of hcg by the end of the tww - as i mentioned, i o'd approx five days after the IUI (if our scan dates are correct) - perhaps even longer - even if you go that late, you are almost guaranteed to have traces of hcg by the end of the tww. if you didn't and AF hasn't arrived, there are two options - either there was no egg to ovulate, so ovulation and the resultant hormonal variations didn't occur - or you o'd late - but i'm guessing there is no way you'd have gone this long without at least a HPT - if you're truly concerned, go get a test - if you conceived from that IUI you'll get a strong second line
from what has happened with me (i have no cycle at all without help) i'd say ovulation didn't happen and you're back at flat line levels... sucks to thing negatively like that, but having BTDT, it's the most likely outcome
Just want to say that by 9 weeks you'd normally know that you were pregnant even without a test. Most women would have some sort of symptoms by then - at the very least sore BBs & tiredness. I hardly got any symptoms but still felt a little different by then - off certain foods - unable to take vitamin tablets without gagging, tired, bleeding gums & stuffy nose.
If you are having symptoms that you think could be from pregnancy then use a HPT. If not then I'd say it's more than likely that it's just AF showing her ugly head just a little later than normal.

I will say that I have been very tired (by 2pm i neeeeed a nana nap) and very emotional, Crying over everything.
I dont usually do this but I was thinking it may be the hormones working there way out of my system.
Hey BG,
AF has still not arrived.
does that mean no egg was released. I dont really understand it cause this has never happened before. I took clomid and then decided not to do this cycle so I didnt have the trigger or anything. Could this be why AF hasnt arrived???
that would be the most likely reason - trigger would cause an egg to be released from the follicle whether it is mature enough or not - and would trigger the hormone cascade that leads to AF (progesterone up, then it drops off for AF to arrive). if you didn't have the trigger, and egg was not mature, or the clomid didn't make your body respond appropriately, the follicle will simply have reduced back to nothing - i guess it would be a failed clomid cycle as the clomid itself didn't make you o (which unfortunately happens with lots of us)
