Late or ???? - Update or lack there of...

We were lucky to get pregnant our first month trying. But, then we had a M/C in early February. My Dr told me to wait until I had two normal cycles before trying. So, I got my first AF 5 weeks after the M/C. The next one came 2 weeks later, then again 1 week later, etc. I finally had a normal 30 day cycle after 4 months. We started TTC again. I used two ovulation kits (14 consecutive days) and never O'd. I am now on day 32 of my cycle. I have been having cramping since last Saturday and felt a little strange. I took a pregnancy test this morning and it was Negative.

Do you think its posisble I'm preggo and have not produced enough HCG to test positive yet? Or are my cycles still crazy and maybe I'm not late, just having a 35 or 40 day cycle?

I know your guesses are as good as mine but I figured I'd ask! Thanks!

Not sure of the answer but wanted to send you some

Keep us posted!!!

Re: Late or ????

When did you start using the OPK's, do you know what cycle day?

You could have tested too early and missed the LH surge for o date and o'd later than you thought. IF that's the case then your cycle would be longer hence the no AF or pos pg test.

Are you charting along with the OPK's, using your temps and OPK's can tell you worlds about your cycle.

I def rec picking up "taking charge of your Fertility"

Good luck

Re: Late or ????

Thank you! I haven't been charting. Since we got pregnant during the first month last time I figured I'd see if that happened again before figuring out to chart.

I used the OPKs from Day 13 - 27. By then I figured we'd missed it and was all set for AF. Now it hasn't come. I have cramps and if AF is coming I wish it just would so I could move on to next month.

Are cramps a normal sign of early pregnancy? I looked online at Babycenter.com and I don't have any other early preggo symptoms.

This is driving me crazy!

Re: Late or ????

Take another test then!
I am a POAS ADDICT when TTC.

Dollar Tree tests are super sensitive, and you will not go broke buying them.



and yes, cramps CAN be a sign of early pregnancy. What cycle day are you on right now?

Re: Late or ????

Sounds simliar to what i went through...
We got PG our 1st month trying and ended in a M/C. 5 weeks later I got AF and then i had it on and off for almost 7 weeks. Then I had normal 30-32 day cycles for the last 5 months. Your body may just need to regulate still.

Re: Late or ????

Thank you everyone! Still no sign of AF! I'm ending day 32 right now....

I made DH buy more pregnancy tests tonight - I will test again tomorrow morning. I have never bought the cheap tests. I will have to order some now. Thanks again!

Re: Late or ????

Were you pretty regular with your cycles before this pregnancy and m/c?

Re: Late or ????

I had been on BCP since I was a teenager, so I was regular due to that. We got preggo the first month we came off the pill. My OB/GYN wanted us to try right away b/c I have endometriosis and the pain from my periods off the pill is unbearable. I had a laporoscopy last August to treat the endo and they checked my tubes and they were clear. She felt that I didn't have to wait to TTC. So, I don't know if I would have been regular or not. Makes all of this that much harder!

Re: Late or ???? - Update or lack there of...

So its now Day 36...no AF yet still testing Negative when I take pregnancy tests....I just want to know one way or another so I can move on to next month...
