Aaahhhh! I'm 4 days late and still a BFFFN!

I'm hoping I can vent to you guys.  I'm super frustrated.  If I were to have a typical cycle, AF should have arrived on Friday.  I don't chart, but I also have never been more than a day late except for my BFPs.  I had a bachelorette party on Saturday, so I was annoyed I didn't know for that.  I ended up not drinking just in case.  Now I am annoyed because I just want an answer.  Am I or aren't I?  My gut says yes, but this isn't a viable one.  I just left a message at the OB.  I want blood work so this can be documentated and I may finally get a referral to a RE. 

Do I need to just chill and wait?  Do you think I should get blood work?  Any other thoughts?

    If you don't chart, then there is always the chance that you O'd late.  If your OB is willing to do b/w then it can't hurt otherwise just test every few days until you get AF or a BFP.

    I was trying to figure that out.  I know some women take a little longer to implant too.  Do you think by a week I should know either way?

    I definitely Ovulated a lot later this cycle than I have in the past.  Normally by cycles are around 26-27 days.  I think this cycle I O'ed around the time that I was expecting AF...

    I'm sorry about the BFFN... I hope this is it for you.  I hope bw confirms a BFP and that you move on from here with a sticky LO.  I really, really do.

    Two cycles ago I had a rogue 15+ day LP.  I tested five times and all were BFNs.  I was SURE I was pg, as I'd never had a LP longer than 11-12 days except for when I was KU.  AF did end up coming, though, many, many days late (6, I think).  So it is possible. 

    Any plans to chart in the future?

    Thanks ladies.  Patience has not always been my strong suit.  Our cycles have been so crazy.

    As for charting... probably.  I am just afraid it will make me more obsessive and I haven't had a strong need for it so far.  I thought maybe I could start with OPKs or something.  I don't know.  I have anxiety issues that plays into the impatience.   I'd probably over analyze every little drop or rise.

    I imagine that you would know within a week.  I have had a few random cycles where I had 16 day LP's.  Sometimes after m/c's are bodies are just a little off.  I hope you figure it out soon.

    Indifferent  Really?  You do realize that not all cycles are the same (even if you are "regular"), don't you?

    Yeah I realize I'm not going to ovulate on the exact same day of my cycle every month and I know that not every cycle is going to be 28 days for me.  With that said, I've never been this late without a BFP, so I am being impatient and thinking the worse.  I figured most of you would just tell me to chill and wait it out.

    And you do know that cycles after m/c are wonky, right?  Your last m/c was not that long ago... as per your siggy.

    I don't know what else to say.  I wanted to vent and I said I am being impatient.  I do realize all of these things, so sorry if this post was annoying to you.  I have had several losses and so far the length of my cycle has not been effected.  Thanks for your input.  I will have to remind myself that things can change and I will wait and see what the drs office says.  They will probably tell me to wait as all of you have.

    Reminding yourself of these things is much better than creating a mind miscarriage (that was in your OP), which is not healthy.
