Going mental! (side note: check out Hcg levels by last menstrual period)

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!! 5 days late! I'm usually only ever on max 3 days late for AF. I redid the calculations and I should have been due on the 26th! BUT! This gives me hope! There is research now that HPTs are not 99% accurate as claimed. If you have an infection, it could result in a Also sometimes HcG levels don't even get high enough to register until sometimes 4 weeks after a missed period! OH says to make an appointment with the doctor on Tuesday to get a blood test if AF hasn't come by then. I was almost sure I got a this morning. The dye lingered for longer than usual in the T section

Hiya, I too am late and I am never late. af was due thursday and so far 3 its driving me mad! I don't see or feel any sign of af coming which I normally do! The chemist said it can take weeks to get BFP as hormone levels may be week.

I book doctor appt for thursday, hopefully af stays away but looks like I'm gonna have to keep waiting and its driving me mad not knowing!

That's what I'm wondering! Are Hcg levels typically low in a first pregnancy? I wonder.... *google!*

 

[always4ever]

well both the women in the chemist and 2 of my friends told me it took them between 6 - 18 days to get a BFP, one of whom was pregnant with twins yet took her 8 days to get a BFP. the chemist told me not to worry that it increasing every day and all women are different. She told me to test every few days, the suspense is wrecking me though, I just want to know!

Me too! My OH told me to go to the doc if I haven't gotten AF by Tuesday. I've been having lots of CM. Usually that's gone by the time AF is here. I'm also really weepy. I want to cry just now having just typed that I'm weepy lol!
