Hi Ladies - AF is 34 days late so have missed two periods now - lots of BFN on HPTs, negative pregnancy test at the hospital and got my blood test results back today - surgerys receptionist told me that my blood test results said "Satisfactory" so I asked her to speak to my doctor because I thought the blood test would tell her if I was pregnant or not because maybe the HPT's weren't working on me...........the doctor then relayed a message back saying that the blood test isn't to tell me if I am pregnant or not although there were clear signs on my results to suggest that I was not pregnant........goodness knows what that means!!!.....I then had to persuade the receptionist to book me in with my doctor to find out why, when I have always experienced 27-28 day cycles, that I have suddenly missed two periods!
I had to ask my doc for pregnancy test and blood tests and now I guess I am gonna have to ask her for an ultrasound...

Anyone else ever experienced or heard of this? I had my fingers crossed that the HPT's weren't working and that I would get a positive on the blood test but my doctor seems so unsure of what she is doing.......aaaah!! Help!

NOOOOOO!!!! That's crazy Can't you book with someone privately and request an HCG blood test with results for the same day?

Good Luck. It's not fair that you have to go through this for so long.

Sending to you,


Jolene

Thanks Jolene - I have a doctors appointment at the end of next week - I really don't know what else to do to be honest. I am concerned that my doctor maybe hasn't read the results correctly as she was so uncertain when I asked for a blood test because she told me she had never heard of a blood test to test for pregnancy but that they could do one which would show up any issues.....
I am worried that something is seriously wrong having missed two periods..........

I seriously think you should consider reporting your doctor, definately getting a second opinion. Is there only 1 doctor at your surgery? would it be possible to see someone else. She should be looking at the hcg in your blood this would give you a clear answer.

This must be driving you insane hun, where abouts do you live???

I missed three periods right around this time last year for no reason anybody could figure out. BFN on bloods and urine tests. I hate to say it but it sometimes can happen. I do feel your pain, it is so very frustrating!!!!!!!! I can't believe your doctor didn't do a HCG blood test. He/She sounds like a flaming idiot!!!!!!!!

I live in the South East - if she had said that the levels of HCG in my blood showed that I wasn't pregnant then I would accept it however she did seem so uncertain in the first place and to give me a response that the blood test was satisfactory is beyond me!
I just want AF to arrive now so that at least I know where I stand....
I am thinking that I might have PCOS now or something else that is going to affect me TTC.
I will have it out with the doctor next week and request a scan to see what's going on.......
Oooooh the frustration - I have so many works do's and parties over Christmas and now worried about drinking..................
Thanks for your comments ladies..........this forum is so great for venting your frustration!

Oh she does sound like an idiot! Find a new doc asap hun! It may be you've just not ovulated tha first cycle and the added stress of it all may have caused you not to again. Have you considered temping, even just for one cycle just to see whats going on, its something thats easy enough to do and will be able to tell you in a short time whats going with your cycles. Then if you do happen you have a problem your already a step ahead if you need to go get some help with it all. I wouldnt be panicking just yet, if your cycles have been normal to date then it may just be your body playing silly buggers with you. Hopefully you wont have to wait too much longer for an answer hun!

Thanks WannaB - I haven't started temping because I wanted to give it a few months TTC to with my other half without getting too stressed over it all - however, now that this has happened, like you say it probably is a good idea to start so I know where I am each cycle - can you recommend a website to visit?
Thanks for your comment hun........

Hi there! I'm new to this forum but not to TTC. We got married in August '08 and have been TTC since then, and still nothing.

I did have a similar situation to yours. My cycles were very regular every month, usually 29 days no fail. Then, all of a sudden, my cycle went wonky. I had one on April 11th - April 14th, then nothing until July 1st. That made it a 82 day cycle!

I went through soooo many HPT's (dollar store, gotta love em!) and all BFN's. Then I went to the doctor, she sent me for bloodwork to check my HCG levels, negative. She still didn't believe it, so she sent me for an ultrasound just in case, and nothing.

So after that, my cycles went back to being normal. We still haven't had our BFP! We were sent by my doc to the fertility clinic to get some testing done. After all the blood work on certain days of my cycle, etc.. it's been determined that I'm pretty much healthy as far as fertility goes. No PCOS, nothing... just I guess bad timing?? I know how frustrating it can get, I just wanted AF to come and get it over with so I could keep TTC.

I'm now on CD36 and no AF.. this is the first time I'm late since that weird cycle in July. I POAS last time on Sunday and still BFN's so I'm not sure what to think???
