2 BFN's but cycle is still not here... very late, what is wrong?

[Anonymous]

Trying to conceive naturally after other failed attempts. My cycle is generally 29-31 days with the occasional 33 or 34 day. Last month it was way out of sync, ovulated on day 21 and it came on day 36. I've been on a diet and recently lost 13 pounds so the accupuncturist attributed it to my body readjusted.

So this month, here I am on day 39 and still nothing. Took a test yesterday mid morning and this morning first thing and both were negative. Took my temperature the past few mornings and it is up- 98.4 degrees. Generally when I've temped the number gets below 97.5 when my cycle shows up.

WHAT IS GOING ON?? I did use CVS tests so maybe they aren't that sensitive? What could be going on?

I would ask your Dr for a blood test just to be sure you are or aren't pregnant. (Then they can figure out what is really going on) Those pee sticks can be inaccurate. I have three friends who are prego and all had negative HPTs for weeks after their blood tests confirmed they were pregnant. Good luck! I hope its a BFP!!!

Do you know what day you ovulated on this month? Your period usually comes about 14 days after ovulation, but the day that you ovulate on can vary greatly due to illness or stress.

OP here, I was using clearblue to chart ovulation the past 6 months, and generally it would be day 16-18. Last month it said day 21, which when I had a 36 day cycle I was ok with it. This month I did not chart, as the stress of TTC for over 2 years just got to me. I did nothing but have relations a few times this past month. So I don't know when I ovulated, which of course is stressing me out now.

Day 39 is the latest I have ever been, and I'm talking over 2 years of charting. I was reading up on sensitivities of test and found a research article that stated CVS brand tests are not that accurate for early detection. That said, I only found one article on it, so maybe I'm putting my hopes on it. Hubby doesn't even know I tested, he wants me to test tomorrow morning. So I'm thinking of buying the First Response brand which has good reviews.

It would be so ironic that after all I've done the past two years, the month I totall give up would be the month I conceive. I just keep praying that is what is happening.

Glad to hear some people had negative home tests but it turned out positive. I'm at 40 days now, and a negative test this morning again. It's so frustrating!!

Any other positive stories to keep me going???

I think you should go see your dr and get a blood test to confirm. It's possible you are having an annovulatory cycle as well....

OP here, just spoke to the nurse. Basically they wait much longer to do a blood test as it's possible I haven't ovulated at all, or am ovulating even later than last month. She indicated over 38 years and cycles start to change. It's possible, so I guess I'll have to accept it. She said to call back at 60 days if nothing has happened, but most likey if I went 90 days they would put me on provera to jump start it back. My breasts have been tender too the last couple days so I was really hoping. Well, guess I can drink this weekend.
