Question

So confused...

My cycle is usually 26 days. I have never missed a period or been late with the exception of being pregnant with DS. Last time I was pregnant, i got a faint positive the day or my missed period, and a dark positive 3 days after. I am now 2 days late for my period. I tested the day my period waa due, negative. Also tested on 11 and 12 dpo with First Respond Early Response, both of which were negative. I have been having some pretty intense aching cramps over the past two days and my CM has increased but I have had no spotting, nothing. I have had diarrhea (sorry, tmi) and my back has absolutely been killing me. My cervix has been alternating in between low and firm and high and soft. I just have an overwhelming feeling that I am pregnant that I can't shake and I have also been having alot of vivid dreams. I got sick a couple of days ago (stuffy nose, sore throat, cough) and my boovs have seemed to get bigger and i am not breaking out like i usually do around the time for AF. My sking is actuallt pretty nice right now, complete oppoaite from whenever i was pregnant last time. I'm just so frustrated. Do you think I could be pregnant? When should I test again?

Unfortunately none of us can give you a definite answer! I can imagine the frustration is driving you to insanity!

The menstrual cycle when you are desperate to conceive can be a cruel thing!

You do not say when you ovulated? Was it CD 12? (As that would fit with a usual cd26 day cycle). If you do not know when you ovulated, it could be that this month you ovulated later and that you are going to have a cd28 or even cd30 cycle.

I would suggest testing again each day! If you are not a crazy person like me (who adores POAS ha!) and are more sensible, maybe every 48 hours instead!

If your period does not and becomes over 10 days late, I would schedule an appointernet with your doctor.

I hope for the best for you but also know Mother Nature plays cruel tricks!

I agree with sweetemotion ..test every 2 days ideally or daily ( if you can’t help it:)).
Lots of people get late positives ( unfortunately every time I had negative till my AF date, it turned out to be delayed AF).. wish you all the best! Keep us posted.

Hello,

Thanks for your responses! I ovulated on CD 11. I am not currently 16dpo and I still haven't had AF appear yet!

How are you confirming ovulation? Are you using OPKs or temping? Either you ovulated late or this could’ve been an anovulatory cycle. I hope it’s the former and that you get your BFP.
