I have been racking my brain for nearly two weeks now, so this will be a long post!

My husband and I have been using Natural Lamb condoms due to my intolerance of latex. However, a few weeks ago, we noticed that it had leaked. I was supposed to hit my period on either February 21-23. I usually have 28-30 day cycle, and my last period was on January 24. Let me start out by saying that I have never in the history of my period, ever been late or missed a period. I always hit it within a few days. However, on February 16 I decided that I would take just a cheap test since that week I had just been feeling “different”. I took the test and there was a very faint line- I was over the moon ecstatic; however, it was not until multiple negative tests later that I pulled up the reviews on the first test, and the reviews stated that those specific tests were giving false positives. In my confused stupor, I pulled out some of the negative tests in hopes of just misreading it and I was tinkering with one of the First Response digitals when it changed to a yes. I know that this was completely invalid since it was well after me taking it, but it still got me going. With this said, my husband and I just chilled out for a few days- I took a few more tests and all negative. I decided that it was just a fluke and I would just wait for my period. I kept waiting and waiting, and nothing ever came- that is except for the insomnia, heartburn, bloating (like really bad), TIGHT lower abdominal muscles, consistent on and off cramps, cravings for practically anything in sight, smell sensitivity, headaches on the daily, and lower backaches; not to mention a killer UTI. Me being the very type A personality that I am, started getting those hopes up again, so when I went to the doctor to treat my UTI, I decided to get a blood test because they initially thought that I possibly could have had a chemical pregnancy- and a few days later, it was a big ol’ fat negative as well, but it was still early on.

Which brings me to now- I have made an appointment with my OB/GYN for tomorrow, but hello- I am that type A personality, so patience is not a virtue that I obtained. So, to carry on- I am now on cycle day 39, about 21/22 days post ovulation, and late for my period about 10 days, and still no sign of my period. After deciding to give my Google searches a rest- I took an ovulation test and boy was it positive! It lit up dark as dark could be almost immediately. So.... what I need to know, is in everyone else’s opinion, what in the Sam heck is going on with my body? I have never missed a period or even so much has been late more than a day or two, I am practically the poster child for symptoms (outside of the breast tenderness), and I just generally feel “different”.

I needed to ask everyone else before I went into my OB’s office tomorrow and sounded like a lunatic. Thank you in advance!
