BFN on 14DPIUI, no AF. Question for you ladies

HI Ladies,

I've been googling this to death and reading past posts, but wanted to know what you thought:

IUI was on March 1. Took a HPT on 1/14. BFN.
No AF yet.
Very slight brown with pink spotting on 15DPIUI. Cramping. Thought AF was coming, but nothing.
Currently 16DPIUI. I was on Estrace for 14 days. Stopped on 1/14. I was not on progesterone. I'm assuming my AF is coming just late. 
Anyone have experience with late BFPs 14 days after IUI or am I just kidding myself and the hormones and clomid messed up my cycle? 
The weird thing for me is the spotting. I generally don't spot brown and light pink before my AF and was cautiously hoping it was a late implantation bleed? That'd be impossible though if our last BD was March 3??

    @Manders85  I know all those hormones can definitely effect your cycle but I've also heard of women not getting a postive hpt until three or four weeks after they ovulated.  Is there any chance you ovulated later than you/your doc thought?  I would say wait another few days and if AF is still a no show give your office a call and explain whats going on.  Maybe they will bring you in for a blood test just to make sure!

    @manders85 I would say, go in and get a blood draw.  I feel like HPTs can be effected by the medications that we all take.  A blood test will tell you for sure.  There are so many factors and I feel like you shouldn't go in to the weekend wondering what's going on.

    Sorry about AF!! That's always hard. 

    @seethosestars I have the same thing happen to me like every month. Spotting for a few days before. It never happened when I was on BC so it's good to know it's not just me!

    @Manders85- sorry for AF!  I didn't used to spot before my period, but I do now ever since starting IVF...who knows what this all does to our cycles.  If your period was late and extra clotty, perhaps it was a chemical pregnancy?  That happened to me, but I had positive HPTs and a positive beta.

    Yeah idk, it seemed strange to me, but you're probably right that it's all the hormones, ovridel, etc playing tricks on my body. 

    Feeling super depressed today. It's just so not fair that good people who would be great parents encounter these IF challenges. Giving up control is huge for me and there's very little in my life I can't will to happen. Not being able to "will" this to happen is the hardest part
