Week late, BFN, wwyd?

[househunter]

So my normally regular period is a week late. Took multiple tests, all negative. Last had sex around August 12, so it certainly would be positive by now if I was pregnant. Should I call my doctor or wait it out and see if my period shows? I've had some cramping for 2 weeks if that makes a difference. I'm not sure there really is anything the dr can do anyways

This must be so frustrating! I'd probably call my doctor. The worst they can say is there's nothing they can do and tell you to ride it out but maybe they will have other ideas?

If you're not on major pain, I'd probably wait a few days in case you ovulated later.

Are you temping or using OPKs to verify ovulation?

I don't remember if you've said before in another thread, but did you recently come off of any kind of birth control? If so, I second what RITS suggested and wait a few more days before calling, because your cycle could just be off. But if not, and if the cramping is pretty constant or painful, it wouldn't hurt to call.

No temping this cycle

I had an iud and it was removed in February, so no type of bc since then

Hmm, strange.  I guess as long as your cramps aren't too bad, maybe wait a couple more days to call.  But if you're in a lot of discomfort, I'd call as soon as possible tomorrow -- I'm just thinking that it could be possible you had a CP, and I remember when I had mine, my doctor told me to look out for heavy cramping.

Ok, so then it's really likely you ovulated late or not at all.

I would wait an entire cycle to visit the doctor.

Called my ob, they ordered a hcg blood draw. Of course it's negative so now I wait

I'm in this boat too, although I won't have my blood drawn untill Wednesday. If I haven't ovulated, I'd like to try again this month, but now I won't know. So annoying!

Did they give you any ideas on what it could be, other than a late ovulation? This is so frustrating

I'm getting old?

[jennistarr1]

I don't like the outcome, of course but I liked their response

[compassrose]

Still no AF, househunter?

Finally started today

[compassrose]

I'm sorry househunter. That sucks

[RITS]

I'm sorry househunter

[househunter]

Nbd, onward to next cycle

[Jalapeñomel]

Doc just told me that she'll jump start my period if it doesn't come next week. Ugh.

It just sucks all around, but I'm glad your doc is willing to be proactive about the issue

Ditto this. Have you guys talked about low dose meds at all? (Yes, I have the zeal of a new convert.)

I'm at a new doc now, and she's a bajillion times more proctive. She was shocked when nothing else became of the HSG.

[compassrose]

I'm SO glad you have a new and better doctor! That's wonderful!

Me too. It's been so annoying having to continually change doctors. I think being in the suburbs makes a difference, as it tends to attract better doctors then where I was living in the city (as sad as that is).
