This is just a joke....

I am on CD42 and have no idea what's going on.

I haven't had any normal PMS symptoms and I've been feeling queasy, have sensitive skin (can't even shave my legs!), and got heartburn for the first time in my life. I was sure I was PG, but got a BFN on Sunday.

I do have long cycles and a 40 day cycle isn't totally unheard of, but it only happened a year ago when we traveled to four different countries in one month. Plus I had my normal PMS leading up to AF.

I have no idea when (or if) I O'd. I tried temping for a couple weeks but it was inconsistent and stressed me out (maybe that delayed O?).


Any ideas? I'm planning on testing again this weekend and then going to the doctor next week if it's still a mystery.


ETA: my cycles range from 28-36 days, not regular but usually pretty predictable with my PMS symptoms.

Wow Potato, what a mind-f*ck!!!!!

I think your plan of testing a few more time, then going to see your doctor is a good one. I don't know that there's much more you can do really, except try your hardest not to freak out (I wouldn't be able to).

Did you just come off of BC? The usual advice is to wait 60 days then call your doctor (that is, wait until CD60). Hope things work themselves out soon!

[potatopie]

No. I stopped BCP about four years ago. Definitely had some 60 day cycles then, but nothing like that after the first year.

Hmm, yes maybe you ovulated late from stress? So that could either delay your period or delay a positive pg test. Fingers crossed for you!!

I have lurked here a little and introed a while back on the nest..... But i just want to say you are not alone. I am on cd 56 and have poas at least 6 times in the last 25 days. I just want something to happen one way or the other.
i will be following this post closely

smsm24, that's terrible!

I'll definitely keep you posted if I find anything out. I got scared that maybe it was an ectopic pregnancy, but they said you should get hcg levels the same as a pregnancy.

I had a 75 day cycle when we first started trying. I was so sure I was pregnant, but got a negative every time I tested. When I started working w/ my RE, I asked him about it. He said that is common for women to have an occasional long or anovulatory cycle and wouldn't be concerned unless it occurred frequently. I would bring it up to your doctor, but be prepared that they may not have any answers for you, especially if this is the first time.

Great, so I could have another month's worth of mind-f**king. Not only might I not be PG, but I'll just totally miss two cycles of trying. Wonderful....

That's crazy that it would happen right when you've/we've started TTC. I wonder if it's psychological?

Right? I have never had a cycle that long and it hasn't happened since. So frustrating. Hopefully AF comes soon!

Sorry Potato...that sounds so awful. The comment you made before about "missing two cycles" really resonates ughhhh. That would be my exact thinking.
