i am getting fed up with BFN after BFN. i havent had a menstrual period since December 27th! i had a positive OPK Feb 19th. i still have not seen AF or any signs of AF. but.. i have been having the folowing..
~twinges in the uterus, very slight cramps, nothing compared to pms. but noticable. every now & then ill get a cramp that feels like AF is coming, but nothing...
~constipation!! been trying to correct it with fiber & coffee, which normally works wonders..but not now. i cant take laxative because i have IBS and they irritate my bowel.
~frequent urination. my pee is starting to have a strong smell, like my fiances..yuk.. and its bright yellow.
~increased appetite for junk!! the other day, i wasnt hungry but i elt like i had to eat..so i tore the snack cabinet apart & found a fresh bag of fridos and ate half the bag! and chocolate has been a big hit for me too.
~fatigue. i sleep generally 8-9 hours a night. and her lately ive been worn out everyday around 230, and yawning like crazy.
~gas! farting & burping, bubbly stomach. fiance thinks its funny. but i dont. lol.
~cervical postion-high & closed and firm, cervical mucus is white and creamy, and abundant..verrry abundant.
any suggestions? should i just go get a blood test? should i wait some more? im going nuts.

Hun,
you haven't had a period since december?
could this be due to stress?

Or you could definitely be pregnant - but why the HPT's aren't picking it up i really don't know.
The best thing to do is go get a Blood test then they can measure your HCG and its going to be more accurate in the long run and whilst your there see your GP too to confirm whats going on.
Hope you are pregnant!
good luck xx

oh wait, i mis-read,
have you taken any Home pregnancy tests hun?

im not sure, i havent been stressed at all, except for one time that the fiance and i got into a little arguement, but that was like a month ago, by that time i was late anyway.. but yes ive taken hpts, all negative, i took one 2 days ago, thought i saw a line, it was not first morning urine, but the more i stared at it, i realized it was just a bloody evap.. (dollar tree brand).. my cycles are normally ireggular, but not like this.
another symptom i forgot to mention is senstive nipples and dark veins in my breasts.

If you got a positive OPK on the 19th it's very possible that you are pregnant, and tests aren't picking it up yet! My OPK package told me there was a surge of LH when I got the smiley face, and that I could ovulate within 24 hours of that. I kept getting positives for
3 days so I stopped taking them. And waited it out. I got my BFP early! But not all women do. Now assuming you Oed on the 19th and BDed also, it could have taken anywhere from 3 to 12 days to implant... If it took more days to implant that would be the reason for your negative test. It's just too early! I will tell you though that those twinges you are describing and the cm was what gave it awayfor me!! Good luck honey and my fxed for you!

Dollar tree brand has never given me an evap. Try a digital test to make sure. Sounds very promising. If you're the rare case that it doesn't show up on a urine test for months (like my mother and I) then you can always go to your doctor and ask for a blood test. If you're still not satisfied (again, our hcg doesn't show up in blood either lol) ask for an ultrasound. Some doctors are hesitant to give you an ultrasound so if you really want one, go to the ER, tell them you're pregnant and have been cramping. They'll give it to ya

Again though...all of that sounds exactly like what I've been experiencing so it sounds super promising.

hun if your periods have not arrived since December then pregnant or not you should get medical advice because you need support that we can't give, symptoms can be a sign of many things one of them being pregnancy but it could also be something else, I wish you all the best and hope you get this sorted out soon.

thanks ladies fo all the replies.. well, the way i see it is there is no other explaination other than pregnancy. im a 21 yr old and im healthy.. i just dont get it. i want to go to the er and get blood work testing but id feel like an idiot if i went claiming i was pregnant and cramping is it turns out im not pregnant.. lol..

here is a pic of the opk i took on the 19th..
it is positive right?

if it isnt then it is very close to it.

hi -just a note to see what hpt's you used. all i had were BFNS on the cheapy "line" ones - i only got my BFP's on the ClearBlue Digital.

Same with OPKs i gave up on them as they were so confusing for me to read. CBFM was what worked for me - 1st cycle!!!.

good luck hun !
