Newbie & Question :)

in Trying to Get Pregnant

Hi Ladies! I'm not new to the Bump, but I've definitely been lurking around this board for awhile. I'm not charting regularly, but have been reading up on it and plan to start with the new year.

Here's my question: Right now, AF is 4 days late. I took a test on Christmas Day, at one day late (since I'm normally very regular) and it was a BFN. Soo, would you test again this coming weekend? I've been having twingy cramps, but no spotting or anything. The waiting it driving me nuts though.

TIA! :)

    Should I be like reinstone and tell you what she told me on my first post? Now take your fishing line somewhere else. We can't tell you if you're pregnant. 

    If it was me I was test every morning if you don't mind spending the $$ on pregnancy tests! Or go to the Dr. and get a blood test done. 

    I'm normally pretty regular but there has been a few cycles here and there that I was 4 days late (along with BFN) w/ no explanation!  The wait drove me nuts too but alas AF eventually came.

    HAHA! Not gonna lie, coming over to this board scared me. But I felt like the ladies over here would at least be in the same "I'm really really wanting a baby" boat. I don't know if I want to test every morning, but I'll definitely just wait another couple days so I've taken them a week apart. If nothing, then I'll call the doc. Thanks!

    Have you recently stopped taking BCP, because if so you can't expect you cycles to be what they were when on BC. When I first went off BC I drove myself crazy thinking I was pregnant every time I didn't get my period on day 28.

    Honestly though if it was me I would take a test everyday until I got my period or a BFP.... But that is just me and I kind of get addicted to POAS, even when I wasn't actively trying to get pregnant.

    You may have ovulated later this cycle. Anything can delay ovulation-stress, illness, etc...hopefully you will get some answers soon.

    I've been off BCP for about a year...decided to TTC earlier this year, and then postponed due to a vacation that was planned. Just started TTC again in October...my cycles have been regular, but looking at FF I had a Max of 34 days, so I'm going to wait it out. Thanks for the help :)

    Tread lightly litte one.  That is not a good way to make friends here. 

    OP, you could test again but it sounds to me like AF is around the corner.  You may have just ovulated late.  I've always had 28-32 day cycles but my last cycle was 35 days.  If you reach 60 days after you suspect a missed period, then call your doctor.

    This. Lurk more- these girls are very tight here, for good reason.

    Hi there! Welcome! I would test again in a few days if no AF, but I am also a POAS addict, lol. But like PP's said, there's a chance you could have ovulated late as well.

    Here's hoping you get your BFP this time around, and if not, definitely start charting at the beginning of your next cycle with fertily friend- it will help answer a lot of your potential questions.

    Hope your stay here is short and sweet Smile

    This.

    Also, there is really no need to go to the dr. or get a blood test done unless you've gone 50-60 days without a period, or you have some other symptom that is worrying you (excessive spotting, pain, etc).  If you are pregnant, it will eventually show on a test if you keep taking them once a week. 

    More than likely, you're just having a wonky cycle.  Happens all the time to lots of women.  I'm also curious to know if you recently came off birth control.  It would explain why you've always been regular, and why your cycle is of a different length this time around.  It can make some people go a little haywire for a few months.

    GL!
