4-6 days late

[Krista]

Hello All! My name is Krista, I am new to the forum.. I apologize I have not made it to the intro section to introduce myself.. but I will I have been browsing the posts instead...

Here is my situation, hopefully someone has been through a similar one..

I have 1 child already, Alex, and he will be 3 next month. It's funny you think because you've done it once that you'll just "know" the second time around.. but it's different.

My husband and I hadn't decided to "try" yet, but he just got back from an 8 week long travel for his job, and we weren't the most careful over the month of December.. We had unprotected sex several times throughout the month.. once early in December, right after I got off of my period (which I started on November 30th btw), once around the 11th or the 12th, and then once about a week ago because I thought my period was so close I couldn't be ovulating. Anyway, obviously it's now January 3rd, and no period. I did test 2 days ago and got a negative result. My cycle in October was about 28 days, and about 30 days in November. I have been having mild cramping in my lower abdomen for about a week leading me to think AF was starting at any time but it hasn't come. I've also been having mild headaches, slight white-ish discharge, and occasional nipple itching. It's too bad PG symptoms can't be obvious, or different from AF symptoms, this would be much easier Do you think I could still be pg, even after a negative pg test? I don't know how often it happens that women get pregnant right before their period starts..

Thanks!,
Krista

Yer still possible, are you late yet then??? I didn't get a positive result until i was 4 days late.

 

[polo_princess]

I'd test in a few days time if AF doesnt show up and see what happens ....

and welcome to babyandbump! yes,it is possible that you could be pregnant.try testing again,or maby make a visit to your gp?

 

[Krista]

Yes I am late, I would assume about 4 days, since my cycle was 30 days in November. I think I will test tomorrow morning when I wake up. I guess I just thought it would be positive right away, since I barely got done peeing on it with my son and there was a big ole + sign... thanks for the insight ladies

 

[faith_may]

Welcome, if you need anything let me know

 

[diva4180]

Welcome and good luck!

 

[Sweetie]

Good luck

Good luck Krista and welcome to B&B!

It is very possible that you could be pregnant. When you tested you would have only been 2 days post ovulation and some tests only pick up hcg at 50 miu and it can take quite a few days for that to build up.

Argh!! We're in the same boat. My son is three in Feb and my first day of last period was 30th November, I'm on a 28 day cycle. I'm now 6 days late with 7 (yes seven!) neg results from HPTs that I've done. I feel pregnant (though as time progresses I'm wondering if my mind is now playing tricks on my body). I've had the mild cramps right around 31st/1st Jan, plus feel tired, have very small amount of dark blood a couple of days ago but nothing! I'm never late so like you I'm going nuts here. Well, I did go to my doc today and she tells me that there are about 10% of women out there that implant later and one of her other patients didn't test positive until 2 weeks later and that my levels could be too low at this time! Thought it would be a slam dunk as I tested positive with my son the first day of missed period before. I get the results of the blood test tomorrow, fingers crossed!

 

[Krista]

ktbean.. wow that's crazy, our situation is EXACTLY the same!! What day is your son's birthday? My son's (Alex) is February 11th Definitely keep me updated, let me know how the test goes tomorrow, my fingers are crossed for you!! I'll post tomorrow too as I will be testing first thing in the morning..

Thanks everyone for the welcome's!!

good luck ladies! I am 10 days late and have had all BFNs (even today I tested). I feel so bloated and crappy. Feels like AF is on her way...no cm and no spotting. I don't know what to really think, but am sure it is just me being irregular again! Please keep us all posted on what happens!

 

[Krista]

Are you often irregular avistar?

 

[ktbean]

Hi Krista, Finn is 23rd Feb, so they're close in age! I'm to call the doc's office tomorrow between 10 and 11am EST, so I'll know then what the quan blood tests reveal. Fingers crossed for you all too!

 

[Krista]

Well well well.. another BFN this morning. Kinda disappointed because it still doesn't change the fact that I haven't gotten my period and it's day 35 or 36 of my cycle. I guess the witch has just decided to be extra witchy this month. Either that or I conceived right before my period was due. If she does come I bet it's a bad one.. ugh! She HAS to come and go before th 19th though.. I'm going on a cruise!!!

 

[dakini]

Have you seen your doctor for a blood test? There are women that don't show up as pg with hpt, but they actually are pg. And if you're normally quite regular, I'd see your doctor, especially before that cruise! GL!

 

[ktbean]

Well, I spoke with the docs office and my blood test came back with quan levels of less then 2! Another BFN this morning also. I'm exactly 7 days late. This is very strange. Doc told me to wait another week and see if AF comes. I'm over this, If she's coming, bloody well hurry up why don't you, so I can get busy again!! Girlfriend at my office just told me she didn't show up pregnant until 13 days past due. Not sure I want this information though!!
Good luck with yours Krista and you other ladies that are late and waiting!

 

[dakini]

Do you know when you O'ed? Maybe you o'ed later than you thought and that's why the tests are bfn. I hope you get your BFP!

 

[ktbean]

Well, that's the thing, never really kept track of that. Thought it was right around the 14-16th day which is the time thereabouts O usually happens. You bet after this I'll be keeping better track! Thanks!! I am hitting 39 this year though, so suppose tons of crazy things will start happening now! Good luck to you!

 

[dakini]

See, I O between CD17-19, but my cycle averages 32 days. It also depends on your LP. I'd start keeping track either with temping or opks or CM just so you have an idea. You're not out though until the shows up!
GL getting your BFP soon!
