**I am posting this again to try to see if someone can give me some guidence???  Try to keep this short...we are TTC and I have been having 31-32 days cycles w/ovulation about the middle of the month.  Last cycle was Mar 27-31.  April 11-13 I spotted lightly, thought this might be ovulation spotting.  We had sex on the 12th.  One week later I had a yeast infection (not sure if this has anything to do w/anything).  I have tried a few hm pregnancy tests, all neg.  Went for a blood test when I was just 2-3 days past due for period and it came back neg.  I am now 8 days past and still no period and still having some classic preg signs (fatigue, bloating, light cramp/movement..).  We had prob getting preg the first time, our son is 14mths.  Tried for 3 yrs, started taking Vitex Chastree (herbal supplement) to get my periods straight.  Had 3 perfect cycles after just starting to take Vitex and was preg on the 3 cycle.  That is exactly where I am now??  Is it possible my body isn't making HCG yet??  When I finally decided to take a test w/our first baby I was about 8wks preg and I even remember then that the plus sign was sooo faint I went out and got another because it wasn't enough for me to think it was positive.  Please help w/any info you might have.

Thanks, Jen

I had a similar problem - I too was late and kept getting negative HPT's and was showing pregnancy signs.  I searched on the internet and found that some people were prengant and their body did not produce enough HCG for and HPT, however if you had a blood test done, they are more accurate.  I however was not pregnant when this happened to me.  I just had an odd 49 day cycle.  

I did get pregnant on the next cycle though, and I am now almost 12 weeks.  My cycles were about 35 days normal, give or take a few days.  My OB/GYN told me to chart my BBT - so I can now if and when I ovulated.  I did that for one full cycle and ended up pregnant.  I fully recommend that.  I hope that helps and please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.  I will be glad to try to help :)

Thank you for the response.  How easy is it to chart your BBT?  Did you do it on your own or did you use a web based chart?

i used a web chart on fertilityfriend.  It is really easy.  Just take your temp at the same time every morning before you get out of bed.  Good luck!
