So confused...

I am now 20 DPO, and still getting BFNs. According to my OPK, I O'd and I had all the signs and symptoms that backed that up. Im sure I should have a BFP by now. I have no feelings that AF is coming and by breasts/nipples are so sore this morning (tmi... sorry).

I called the dr and they are mailing me a script for a blood test. Should be here tomorrow. I'll go Wednesday (no work) if AF is still not here...

My question is.... Is there any other medical reason I would not be getting my period if I DID ovulate but I am, in fact, not really pg???

I have dealt with unexplained infertility, had to do IVF to get my beautiful DD and was so excited when I missed my period. My LP has never been longer then 13 days ever.....

Im so frustrated. Should I behave as if I am until the blood test (vitamins, food/alcohol wise?)?? Thanks for letting me vent.

Re: So confused...

I have no real medical advice. . I am sure there is always a medical reason things could happen but no way of having any real input, that must be hard though just not knowing. I know at this point that most people would test positive but I have a friend who swears her friend never got a pos HPT with any of her three kids so who knows. . . re food and alcohol, you might as well avoid the foods as that's not a big deal, I would not get wasted but I'm sure a drink would be fine, you're not really sharing blood at this point even if you are preggo. . good luck and I hope it is a BFP but if not I hope you get an answer soon one way or another. . are you temping? did you have a second rise when your LP should be over?

Re: So confused...

No, not temping... Tried it when I was FTC my dd and I thought it was too stressful...

Thank you for the reply... Lifts me spirits a bit

So confused...

honestly you probably didn't ovulate or ovulated late. if you are not pregnant you should def temp next cycle unless you are being monitored by an RE. thats the only way to really know if you are ovulating or not. if you have PCOS you could get a +OPK and all the signs of ovulation but not actually ovualate, its pretty common. did you come off any BC recently?

good luck!! hope you are a fluke and are actually pregnant! it does happen its just not common!

Re: So confused...

I feel for you. I'm in the same spot, though not quite as many dpo as you, I don't think. Just wanted to say good luck and I hope you get a resolution soon!

The only things I've found online are possible thyroid condition and peri-menopause, both of which are quite uncommon.

Re: So confused...

I read that it may be a cyst as well... And the cyst causes all the same symptoms of PMS and/or pregnancy...

I cant wait for my blood test on Wednesday. I just want an answer.

Good luck to you as well... Hopefully we are the small few that dont get bfp's right away.
