Frustrated, confused, and a question (long)

Okay, So I am now 2 days late for AF. I know that this is not too concerning, but I have always been very regular 29 day cycle before and even right after BC. So, according to when I ovulated, I am 2 days passed my regular LP. I have taken 2 HPT's, one at 12DPO and one this morning at 15DPO. Both were BFN's!! I am so frustrated. I had so many phantom symptoms (different from ever before) that I was sure this was it for me. However, on the day I was supposed to get AF, my weird cramps subsided (now I am only getting a very dull cramp about every couple of hours), and my boobs are less sore. I still have been just feeling kind of blah, but that may be because I havn't been sleeping well. Which brings me from being frustrated to being confused....

I am confused about my temps...if you look at my chart, I have open circles from 12DPO to 15DPO. This is because I have been sleeping so poorly (probably stress) that I have temped around 4:45 and 5:00 rather than my normal 6:00. The reason I temped then was because I could not go back to sleep, so I figured it would be better to get that temp than to half-way go back to sleep and temp at 6. I am wondering now if I am wrong....this morning I happened to wake at 4:45, so I temped and it was 97.73. I went back to a restless sleep until 6, and temped then as well. It was 98.2. I have always been a really light sleeper from 3:00 till 6:00, so all my temps have pretty much been taken after restless sleep. (By the way, next cycle I am changing my temp time to 3:00 Stick out tongue) So, now I am also confused as to whether my 6:00 temp was the one I should have used!? What do you ladies think?

I am so sorry this is so long. I have just been so frustrated these past two days. My body is playing tricks on me and my IL's have been staying with us this weekend so that doesn't make it any better! I just needed someone or somewhere to vent to! I am just ready for AF to show because I want to get on with the next cycle!!! (I even bought pre-seed right after my 1st BFN!! Ha!)

Thank you to those who made it through all of that! You are truly angels! Angel

    Since your temps are dropping I'll guess your period is coming soon.  I'mnot sure I totally agree with FF...although I can't put my finger on another O date.  Keep testing until AF shows, you get a BFP, or hit CD 60--in which case you should call your DR>

    FWIW, "very regular" cycles don't always mean much---everyone can have a wonky cycle now and then

    Your chart looks very similar to mine, but I am 13DPO. I also tested this morning and BFN, but no usual AF symptoms yet. I looked up late positive HPT on the ff gallery and saw several people who did not get a BFP until 16DPO or even later. I even saw one with a BFN at 20DPO and then a BFP later! I was looking at these to convince myself not to lose hope just yet, so maybe you are in the same boat.

    I think you actually O'ed on CD17 and I'd guess AF will show up in the next couple days. See what tomorrow brings.

    Maybe you're stressing b/c it your first month charting and this is throwing your cycle off? I think the reason AF is two weeks late for me is b/c I'm stressed that she's late. It happens.
