Hi Em and Emma
Hope it's ok to gatecrash your thread!
Sorry you're both still in limbo - I know how frustrating and worrying it is!
I just wanted to try and manage your expectations if you do decide to go to the docs, so you don't end up feeling more upset than when you went in, which is what happened to me Friday. Added to that, I felt like I must be going mad! At this stage, the chances of the gp doing a blood test are small. Mine didn't even get me to pee in a pot, as I had tested at home that morning. There is a lady who posted yesterday in the Am I Pregnant section who had the same experience. I posted on Lillyjane's thread in ttc about her 62 day cycle what doc told me, so won't go over it again but I think as Jess says, this is likely just to be an odd cycle. I don't think it matters that you're usually never late, stress can have a big impact on the cycle and ttc is itself stressful. The doc also mentioned phantom symptoms (I felt like a right nutcase at that point!) and I have to say, some of my symptoms have calmed right down since seeing her! You might be in that small percentage of women who do get a late positive (I hoped I was) but I think thinking like that (or that there's something wrong with your body) doesn't help the stress levels.
Unless you're temping, you can't know for sure when you ov'd. And even if you are temping, you could do a me and misinterpret the chart to try and fit round other signs of ov! I now think I ov'd 10 days later than I originally thought, so again haven't dtd at the right time
All the watery cm I was having was prob a sign I was still fertile and not of preg!
Frustratingly, I'm still waiting for AF to appear but am hoping by being more relaxed and not over-anslysing symptoms she'll hurry up! Soooo annoying being in limbo!!
Sorry for the long post but I hope what I've said might help a bit. Hope you get sorted v soon one way or the other
