Hi Everyone,
I'm kind of in freak out mode right now. I have a very consistent, but short 25 day cycle. This month my OPK said I ovulated on Sunday September 18th. AF should have arrived this past Monday, but nothing. Over the last few days I've had a teeny tiny bit of spotting (like 2 small spots a day). I'm assuming this is IB. I've been breaking out which is not very common for me at all. I've had no other symptoms. So right now I am 13dpo and 5 days past my expected period. I've taken several HPTs and all have come back negative. I'm super nervous and everything I read online and on the TTC boards says it's almost impossible to conceive when your luteal phase is less than 10 days (mine is 9 days).
Is it possible to miss your period for this long, yet possibly NOT be pregnant? I'm so worried that everything I read is correct and the implantation won't take place successfully. Yet, my gut is telling me I'm pregnant and I'm so freaked out that I'm wrong!
Any advice or thoughts on this? I'd appreciate any words of wisdom. I'm very new to all of this and just trying to educate myself. Thanks so much!
Re: In need of some advice PLEASE
Last month my period was 9 days late. I am always really normal so I thought I may be (even though we hadn't really been trying then). I couldn't decide if I was pregnant because the tests kept coming back negative. Obviously, I started my flow but this month I'm pregnant!
If you aren't, don't stress because there is always next month. If you are, don't stress. I know, much easier said then done.
I hope it all works out for you!
Chiming in late but it can take several months for your body to get into what will be normal for you after quitting birth control. It's possible your body is just shifting into a new phase. Some women experience a 25 day one month and a 35 the next. Don't stress about it. Test once a week until you get a positive or AF shows. Good luck.
It's possible that you O'd late. As PPs said, OPK don't confirm ovulation they confirm LH surge. I've had many O fake outs where I get a + OPK and then no temp spike and the get another + OPK a week later. You may have O'd late- that doesn't mean you're not pg. Give it a few days and if AF doesn't show test again. If you're still getting BFNs without AF at that point you should just go ahead and call your doctor so you can get a blood test.
GL!
