Possibly pregnant?

Question

Hi! I'm usually a lurker but decided to come here for advice.

AF was due last Thursday. Tomorrow will be 6 days late. I have PCOS and was misdiagnosed with IBS in 2001. I recently found out (beginning of October) that it is NOT IBS but a gluten allergy. I've changed my diet to completely gluten free and off all of the IBS medications (feeling great!!)

I took a dip strip test last Friday and it came back neg. However, I'm craving weird things like pickles, pumpkin seeds, milk (I only drink milk when it's with cereals and that's rare).

I'm really tired too for no reason. My breasts aren't tender but my nipples hurt a bit when touched.

Is it possible I'm pregnant? I am off all pregnancy meds (Clomid) so  thinking my PCOS has kicked in again.

I bought first response today and going to test in the morning.

What do you ladies think??

Answer

Those certainly sound like pregnant symptoms. It could be that you ovulated late (I have pcos too, so ovulation was always hard to track for me). I would wait a couple of days, and if no af, then I would take another test. If you go a whole two weeks and are late, make an appointment for blood work since it's much more sensitive. Good luck!!

Answer

I'd wait at least a month to check. For me.. If I get so excited at 1-2wks late it's heartbreaking and discouraging. So many factors can come into play for late and then cravings.

Answer

Did you test again? I agree with the previous answer about going in for a more sensitive test if you're still late and still negative by HPT. My OB said that the HPTs are very good now, so if you get a positive, you don't need to go in to a doctor to "confirm" pregnancy, only need to go in if you suspect a complication or hormone issue.

Answer

I did take a FR test in Thursday (1 week late) but it came back neg.

Symptoms I listed above have not gone away, however, fatigue has gotten worse and I noticed my CF has been very thick (clear) and a lot more than normal.

I know the heart broken feeling all too well. We've been trying for 5 years now (1 yr in Clomid).

I'll give it two weeks and test again (three weeks) and see what comes up. Thanks for the advice ladies!!

Answer

Have you started your period yet, or taken another HPT? (fingers crossed!) 
I saw your post last week and wanted to stop back by to check in. Was really hoping to see a positive HPT. Wishing you lots of luck and health! Rooting for you!

Answer

Mospa, I've been off Clomid for 3 months now. I lost my job along with the health ins.

I still have a 3 month supply of provera but recently found out I have a condition in my blood that makes me clot easily. The doctor told me provera was a big no no.

I took another FR test on Monday, still neg.

Answer

If you're on clomid, are you being monitored? They should let you come in anytime for a blood test. My RE said I could come in even if I was a day late bc they didn't want me to miss out on the next cycle if I'm not prego
