UPDATE: I'm late and still testing negative

Kelly

Hello ladies! My husband and I have been TTC for our first for almost ten months now. After the first period coming off birth control I have been extremely regular with my cycles, you could literally set your watch to them. This month though AF was late! I was so excited but I kept myself in check knowing it could be some outside factor making me late. Then I tested on the fifth day, the day after my period should have ended, and it came up negative. I was heart broken. Now it's day eight of being late and no indications Flo is on her way. Should I test again? What do you ladies think?

UPDATE: Took another test first thing this morning and it came up negative again. This is so hard, I just want an answer you know? I have so many thoughts running through my head. Could something be wrong? Is it some outside factor causing me to be late? Is it possible the second test is wrong too? How long should I wait before I contact my OB and make an appointment for a check up?

Getting pregnant has been so much more of a process than I imagined. My mother and grandmothers were all EXTREMELY fertil and I've always been regular with my periods and very healthy. I know ten months of trying isn't a long time but it's still hard. I can't imagine being in the shoes of couples who try for years and years at the moment, my heart goes out to those of you that are in that situation. I also wasn't ready for how hard I would take it each month that we haven't been successful. The day AF shows up is always an emotional day for me and my husband. Now we are sitting here for the tenth time and I'm over a week late and still a no.
