I think I am Late..Please help :)

July 02, 2008

Hi Dr Q-

My LMP was June 3rd ( 27 day cycles)

O got a + OPK on June 16th (at night)

I got a 21 day progesterone which was 87- so I know I ovulated.

I have gone back in my calendar as far as February and always got AF on 14DPO

I always count the day after my + as ovulation and the day after that 1 DPO and count from there.

I took a pregnancy test today (internet cheapie) and it is negative.

I do not know what to think... I have always been regular since I got AF at 13.

Is this normal, could I be pregnant and the HPT not picking it up

July 02, 2008

Hi Caryn! Wow, you know your cycle!!! That's awesome! I wish mine was like yours!!

From reading your message above, is it possible that maybe, just maybe, you may have ovulated later than you thought, and maybe you aren't quite 14dpo yet?

Also, those internet cheapies may not be strong enough to detect the pregnancy hormone. I would wait another day or two and maybe take a digital pregnancy test. Those are so much more accurate and can detect for pregnancy better!!

I'm praying for you and wishing you lots and lots of BFP dust!!!!!!!!

Come on BFP!!!!!

Keep us posted sweetie and loads of babydust to you!!!!

July 02, 2008

Good luck Caryn!!! I'm praying for your bfp.

bringing baby dust

July 02, 2008

Wishing you much luck hun!!!!

July 02, 2008

Caryn, I'm hoping and praying that THIS IS IT!! Do you feel any symptoms that AF will come? I hope AF won't come and that your next hpt will be positive! :-) **********BABY DUST!!!!******

July 02, 2008

Thinking of you Caryn!

July 03, 2008

Has AF showed yet?!?!?!?!? I hope not!!!

July 03, 2008

UPDATE- NO AF, and not a symptom of her showing at all.. I am beginning to get nervous, what if I am not preggo and my AF is not coming, whats wrong with me this has NEVER happened before well once but I was preggo... Gosh I hope nothing is wrong with me.

I did take my temp this morning for the hell of it I know one temp means nothing but it was 98.2 I just used the regular digital thermometer..

I guess its time for me to put a call into the RE

I have not re tested, One becuase I am out of tests.. and Two- I am scared :)

July 03, 2008

Good Luck Caryn! Everything will be ok so dont worry! Praying you are very preggo and thats why AF is not coming! Sending you loads of prayers, baby dust and BFP dust :)

July 03, 2008

Caryn, I have all of my fingers and toes crossed for you! I hope that this is your month sweetie! BABYDUST!!!!

July 03, 2008

Oh, wow good luck hun, I hope this is it for you!!! Keep us updated!

July 03, 2008

test again Caryn- Good Luck and Baby Dust!

July 03, 2008

Baby Q- I wish I could, I am out of tests, I just put a call into the RE

July 03, 2008

Good luck, Caryn. Are they going to beta or what are you thinking? Gosh I am out of town all weekend..I need to know today!!! LOL

July 03, 2008

LOL Kelli- They will probably call me in for a Beta.. IDK.. I do not feel preggo, nor do I feel like AF is coming, I am starting to get worried that if I am not, then something is wrong in 19 years I have never missed a period (only when preggo with DS) and I was late in October but I think I had ovulated later that I thought, I was not usuing OPK.. This month I know I got my + On 6/16 and got a 21 day progesterone of 87 so I am 100% sure I ovulated

What are the reasons one does not get a period if not preggo?

July 03, 2008

if you have a dollar store or dollar tree store near you, they are supposed to have really sensitive tests!

July 03, 2008

yes thats not the issue- I run a daycare and just cannot get up and got to the store LOL! We have a CVS- but I am sure the RE will have me come in for blood work.. and I would rather not waste the $$ if its negative

July 03, 2008

The only reason I can think of, Caryn..is a cyst. I hope its not that..and most likely you'd feel some sensitivity down there around your ovaries.

July 03, 2008

Kelli- that can stop you from having AF? Maybe I do have one OMG I hope not, perhaps thats why my progesterone was so high??

I did not think a cyst could prolong AF I just thought it could prolong O..

July 03, 2008

No, you would get the cyst after o..and yes it could prevent af from coming. Do you have any sensitivity or pressure..or does it ache a little when going up and down the steps??

July 03, 2008

not at all, I am in no pain at all...

July 03, 2008

I know when I had one the cycle I did follistim and iui it was painful like going up and down steps..etc. Not sure if everyone is the same??

I know Keller had some..who else could you ask...hmm.

July 03, 2008

Caryn I have a friend that has two children and never got a positive home test but did with the blood test, so maybe you are like her. I really hope so!

***Good Luck******

July 03, 2008

I hope so Carrie-

The more and more I read, I am thinking I have a cyst.. I am never late.. and I took a HPT yesterday and it was negative... If I do have a cyst its my own fault becuase the RE told me to come in for U/S monitoring on CD 3 and I couldn't and then she told me not to take round 2 of clomid incase I did have a cyst.. but I came on here and read that lots of girls take clomid each month with out U/S monitoring, so I decided to take it anyways.. I was using OPK's to make sure I ovulated which I do on my own anyways and I did get my + OPK at night June 16th and went in for 21day progesterone and it was 87 so I know I did ovulate for sure.. and expected AF Tuesday at the latest. I have no signs of her coming , nor am I in any pain at all.. I am gonna be so sad if I have to get meds to indice AF and go on BC pills to get rid of a cyst! This is annoying.. I should have listened!

July 03, 2008

Caryn, don't blame yourself. If you got af last time, then no cyst. If you do have one now, yes its from taking clomid again..but it would've happened with or without dr's ok. I sure hope you are prego..but if its a cyst..it won't take long to go away.

Best of luck, sweetheart! :)

July 03, 2008

Caryn..

The suspense is killing me...I SOO hope your Prego..

I am rubbing my little bumb and sending much BABY DUST!

July 03, 2008

Thanks Melissa- but after reading about cysts I am not so excited to be late anymore :(

I should have listeded to doctros orders and I probably messed this month up.. I am so annoyed at myself

July 03, 2008

Hey Caryn, I know it's easier said than done, but please try not to worry until you know for sure that it's a cyst. Try to cross that bridge when you get to it, and in the meantime see what the Dr says, it could be that your HGC levels aren't high enough yet and you could still be preggie. I really hope so. Try not to beat yourself up, honey.

July 03, 2008

Ok RE just called Blood work tomorrow morning at 8:30am...

July 03, 2008

I hope you get BIG numbers!!!

July 03, 2008

thanks :)

July 03, 2008

Good luck, Caryn! You'll have to message me b/c I'll be gone til Sunday nite :(

July 03, 2008

Caryn, prayers have been sent up above for you. Babydust to you sis! I hope you're pregnant and AF doesn't show up.

July 03, 2008

Try to keep ypur mind off of it until tomorrow morning ;) and Baby Dust!

July 03, 2008

Praying for you Caryn!!! I have been thinking about you all morning. I hope this turns out to be great news and not a cyst! ((((((HUGS)))))))) Love ya lots!

July 03, 2008

Caryn I had 2 cysts at the same time and it never affected my af. It took me a while to get rid of them. I really believe that this is your month. Good luck sweetie I'm sure that everything is fine.

July 03, 2008

How long will it take to get the results from the BW?

July 03, 2008

Don't worrie yet it''s to soon..a cyst may but also MAY NOT effect your af....

I am still rutting for you xo

July 03, 2008

Thanks- I expect to hear back from the lab around lunch time.. I will post one way or another :)

July 03, 2008

I can't wait to hear! I soooo hope the results are good news!!!!

July 03, 2008

yes Fergie- but I am on clomid I am not sure if that makes a difference

I took 50 MG CD 4-8 although I alway O on my own, I take it to get more targets for DH's sperm to get at ( he has a slight male factor issue)

July 03, 2008

Caryn I am 6 weeks preggo and have no symptoms other than being overly tired... so you never know! Good luck!

July 03, 2008

Thanks Maggie- My only concern is I took an HPT yesterday and it showed a BFN... I am tired but having lots of chills and hot flashes.. I almost feel like I do when I have a fever although I do nto feel sick at all.. I even have goosebumps and its 80 degrees here

July 03, 2008

A friend of mine felt like the flu was coming on before she first found out she was pregnant.

Can't wait to see if you have an HCG # tommorow!

July 03, 2008

Well I think I might now be out, I just peed and when I wiped I got some oragne tinge to the TP.. I am not cramping, but probably will get AF in the morning.. oh well In a way I am glad becuase that means I do not have a cyst.. Although I am never late.. I guess there is a first for everything

July 03, 2008

Awh, I was pulling for you. You never know...

July 03, 2008

July 04, 2008

Rachel sending you tons of *********************************************************************BABYDUST***********************

July 04, 2008

You know Caryn being on clomid can sometimes change your cycles a bit. Maybe that is what is going on here?

July 04, 2008

wow ladies.. I am new to this forum.. i just read this whole post. What a rollercoaster. I was really pulling for you Caryn. Sorry it didn't work this month! Like you I am never late.. always 27 days.. and last month i went through a similar thing. AF was due on a thursday.. and didn't show until the tuesday. I had a slight line ... had to hold it up to the light.. on my pregnancy test.. rushed to the clinic for a test. I had a positive test.. but with low numbers.. had to go back 2 days later.. they said the numbers weren't doubling. Two days later my period came. The doctor said it was probably a "chemical pregnancy". I was an emotional wreck.. so excited to be pregnant.. then so disappointed I wasn't.

Clomid this month.. days 3 - 8. Right now i have one big beautiful eggo waiting to pop! (day 12)

Sending Rachel lots of baby dust!!!!!!!!!!! xoxoxxoox

July 04, 2008

Caryn.. Im so sorry hun! I was so hoping that this was ur month. Im glad to hear that ur taking it very well. I know how bad u wanted this but at least u can try next month :) I hope that ur not still taking the Clomid since it can cause a cyst without being monitored at the docs office.

I will be praying for u hun. Ur always so focused and strong when it comes to TTC. Good luck hun and hope that u get it next month!

July 04, 2008

thanks Katie- yes I am going in tomorrow for a baseline ultrasound, hopefully I am cyst free and we can continue on.. I am considering on IUI possibly this month since most likely I will be ovulating next weekend

July 04, 2008

Caryn.. that is good and I hope that there is no cyst. IUI might be the thing that u and DH need. When we save the money then we will be trying IUI only once tho. After that then we will not do anything else but pray that the lord gives us one of our own oneday!

I will be praying for u and hope that everythigng turns out good. I will be waiting to here how it turns out.

July 04, 2008

katie why is your IUI so expensive I think mine is only $350.00

July 04, 2008

Caryn.. Im not sure. I assume that is b/c there is only 1 doc here that does fertility treatment. $1300 is for everything. It covers meds, U/S, docs visits and the transfer. I wish it didnt cost that much b/c we would have already done it by now.

Ur lucky that it only costs $350 so I would be doing it a few times if it costs me that much! LOL!

July 04, 2008

hmm interesting Katie- We have 100% Fert coverage.. the $350.00 is for the sperm wash and prep which goes thru a urology office then when the sample is ready we take it to the RE for insemination..

Well I hope we both will be able to do it and get bet a baby(s)

July 04, 2008

Caryn I'm so sorry to hear that af showed. I know what you mean about the cyst, but hopefully they will find nothing when you go for your u/s. Good luck hun, I'm praying for next month to be your month.

July 04, 2008

thanks Fergie :) I know one day we will be blessed with another baby

July 04, 2008

You're welcome!!! I know how frustrating it is when you are ttc with no bfp, but you seem to be handling it so well. I was depressed month after month. We kept trying and the doc told me that they wouldn't do anything until after ttc for 1 year with no pregnancy. Luckily after 6 months, I finally got pregnant. I always thought that because of the fact that when I was younger I had cysts on both ovaries and perhaps that could be causing me problems. I really thought that maybe my ovaried were damaged, but thank God, everything worked out. The one scary part was when I went for my first u/s at 8 weeks, the doc thought that he saw a cyst in my uterus. I had to wait 6 weeks ato go for another test to find out if there was indeed a cyst or not. It turned out that there was no cyst, but I was freaking out everyday thinking "oh god what is wrong with me...this can cause problems for my baby" it was really hard.

July 04, 2008

thanks Fergie I am looking like this that I have been blessed with one baby, and if it happens, it happens, its out of my control. I know in my heart God will bless us again, its just not gonna happen on my time table! So I have learned patience, lots of patience :)

July 04, 2008

That's what I was telling myself...God will give us a baby in due time and luckily it is happening for us. It's good that you are so patient but I know that when you get that bfp you will be screaming from the rooftops. I wish you all the luck in the world, I know that it is coming soon for you.

July 06, 2008

well rachel did af show or are you preggo?

I have bee waiting to hear from all you :)

July 06, 2008

Af is leaving i am starting to go back to spotting she stays for 4 days then leaves til the next time
