Need some advice please. :)

It's been a while since I've been on this board, as I had my first baby (son) back in March 2015. But I do check in from time to time to see how everyone is doing.

My DH and I were not TTC right now, but I have been having very strong pregnancy symptoms the past 2 weeks (similar to how it felt last time) and I'm now 7 days late, but have had 4 BFNs (3 HPTs and blood test at OB's office), so I'm still not sure. The nausea is very strong most days, lower abdomen cramping (some days on the left, other days right side), I've been more comfortable in the heat than I was earlier in the summer (I'm usually hot all the time) and my BP was lower than normal (like almost perfect!) at my yearly physical last week -- it has been high for the past year but lower than normal when I was pregnant last time. It's really annoying not knowing for sure! But my OB said if AF doesn't show by Friday this week, to come back in and do another blood test.

Whew! Anyone else experience anything like this before?

I was not tracking BBT or using OPKs because we were not TTC, but since my chart in my fertility app had been so on spot for the past 3 cycles, I trusted it. I have had irregular cycles in the past, but never missed a period (that I can remember). Any advice is appreciated!

Sounds like a wait and see sort of deal. Hope you get a result one way or the other soon!

Thanks for the reply, finally got AF, 10 days late and a ton of pain. I'm hoping it's just AF and not something else, the cramps and back pain are intense. And it smells different and is a much lighter red than normal.
