I am scared and thinking twice about tomorrow's blood test

I am not sure now if I will go for my blood test.  sorry ladies I know you have heard me yap about this all morning but.... I have been reading and most women say they get a negative sith POAS and a BFP as soon as they do their blood test. Then again, this happened to me last month (with no clomid yet)  and I was late for 6 days still BFN........ As you all know, I have been POASing since 14DPO and the latest BFN at 15DPO.  Is it possible to get delayed periods due to clomid? should I wait? I was asked to go for a BW tomorrow and now chickening out.  I can't afford to take a BFN.  I am scared enough of bloot tests and a BFN will make it worst.  I feel absolutely nothing now.  No more peeing alot and back ackes.  All those symptoms might have been from clomid.  still a bit constipated Temps? stil around 98.6

I need your honest opinion.  Should I go get tested tomorrow? 16DPO? Or should I wait a few more days for AF? I am dying with confusion

clomid actually got my cycles back on track - the reason i started it in the first place - but it can delay cycles on some people. i would wait for a blood test - but that is just me - i would rather have the disappointment at home - and have hope that AF might not show up!

Clomid delayed my AF by 2 days.  My doc usually has me wait until I've missed my period by a day and then come in for a beta, but I guess it's up to you!  If you did the beta, it would probably settle the matter one way or the other in your mind, and though a BFN is horrrrrrrrrible, at least you wouldn't worry yourself to death over it the next few days...

I've heard that Clomid does delay AF and makes your LP longer...which a longer LP is good, but I'm sure it makes the wait even more tough.  I would wait until 18dpo and then do another POAS or BW if your temps are still up.

Best wishes sweetie.  Hang in there.

I've been taking Clomid for the last two months - and it has delayed AF by a day or two each time - I think it's different for everyone, but I have heard this happens. I think Clomid can also make some people sick, and it might cause other symptoms... I just don't know.
