all for u

Day 21 - no af in sight.

Now I'm wondering if I didn't ovulate at all last month and that spotting was like, the lightest period in the world or something. *sigh*

I guess I should go to the dr either way, so that I know whether to be celebrating or trying again right now.

amiamama -- Have you thought about going for a blood test? I was 4 days late this week and was driving myself crazy -- swore I had all the symptoms but every time I tested I got a BFN! I called my doctor and asked for a blood test and they sent me to the lab. It came back negative and the next morning AF arrived. A blood test might help ease your stress a little. I was disappointed for a day or so but am now looking forward to the next cycle!!
I wish you all the best!

I think you might be right there - I'll call first thing in the morning. 22dpo and not feeling any signs of af at all now.

Um...

Okay.

I did a test this afternoon (two weeks late now) and I got a paint positive. Is that positive or is that not 100%? I don't know, I'm freaking out right now, I have it sitting beside me and I keep checking it every thirty seconds. There's definitely a pink second line, but it is no where near as strong as the control line.

Is that a bpf?

I called my dr and I'm going in on Thursday afternoon to get a blood test and stuff....

I don't know whether to believe this is positive or not. Maybe I'm in shock. Now I have to wait for my husband to get home...

Hello Amiamama,

Waw, this is so great!!! If you get a clear line, even if it is a faint one, it's still great news!!! You are pregnant! Go do a blood test, or even take a test tomorow and the line will get darker. The reason why you get a faint line is because of the pregnany hormone that is not strong enough for the hpt to catch it and show a full positive!!! Wawww, congrats!!!

I am today 16 dpo and going as crazy as you were going...I still have symptoms, but I don't have hope anymore. I just want to know...and if this is not the month, so be it, but I just want to have an answer...
With my 1st pregnancy (I have an 18 months old son), the hpt came positive at about 12 DPO (with a veeeeery faint line). So I am thinking that it is not normal for me not to get a positive by now if I really were to be pregnant now... argghhhh.....

Keep us posted on your dr. results!!! But I am 99% sure that you are preggo!!! CONGRATS!!!!

Amiamama,
Plz give us news! I am so curious!!! I suppose you got your darker BFP, right? Keep us posted!
I'm 18 DPO today...grrr, i just hope AF comes so that I can move on to the next cycle...this is a looooong wait!
Keep us posted!!!

Yes I've done four hpts now, lol. All positive. Each one darker than the last. Did one this morning and its almost as bold as the control line :)

I've had the blood test, I'm going back tomorrow morning for the results! Its all very cool.

Oh, and as for symptoms: THIRSTY. My gosh. Can't drink enough. And if I don't drink anything for a while I get a sore throat. I also have to eat more often and I get dizzy and tired a lot.

But still no morning sickness. Hopefully that stays away as long as possible :)

Hi Amiamama,

Ohhh, so nice! Congratulations! I am really happy for you!!! I can't belive how long it took to get a positive hpt. So you were how many does dpo??? Was it 29 dpo? So it could happen I guess.
I am now 18 dpo and still bfn...ran to the bathroom a couple of times today thinking that af was here, but no...weirdly enough, no.

Now we'll see if I can be as lucky as you were!!! With my 1st pregnancy I tested at 12-13 dpo and it came out very faint positive...now i'm 18 dpo and nothing at all...

I still feel like I have symptoms, but I'm afraid to think about it all the time, because I'll feel so stupid when af will show her face...

Anyway, & !!!!
and enjoy your pregnancy. Is this your first baby?

Yes, it wasn't until 29dpo that I got my first positive!

I guess I'm just one of those ladies that it takes a long time for the hcg to build up enough :)

For the whole week after the day my period was due I wore a pad and kept thinking af had started, but each time it was nothing, so I guess af like cramps aren't always a sign of af! You might still have a shot HappytoTTC!

In the last two cycles I was convinced I was pregnant and it was always so disheartening to have af arrive, and this time I was sure I wasn't, and that something weird had happened, like I hadn't ovulated or something. The mind games of TTC! Its like the baby is playing tricks on you :)

I'll let you know what the dr says tomorrow, and I might finally get to post in the success stories section!
