Conceiving

Me and my partner have been trying to get pregnant now for the past 2 years without success. We've been to the doctor several times while trying and found that my progesterone is low and I have hypothyroidism; I am now on meds for these things. In addition I need to loose a little weight. All this is making it difficult to get pregnant. We had a really successful try with my last ovulation, May 13th, and I have had several symptoms but the urine test came back negative. I should have started my period a week ago and still have not. My cycle is usually 28-33 days. I was just wondering if anyone out there has experience pregnancy in spite of a negative pregnancy test. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

If your cycle hasn't started in a few more days and your test is still negative then go see your doctor and ask for a blood test. It could be that the meds have changed your cycle so you might be testing too early or maybe the home test isn't picking up the hormones in your system.

Did your doctor give you a reason as to why you haven't started your cycle yet?

It is now 7/20/13 and still no period! If I'm not preggo, I'd love to know why I haven't started my period?? I did have an appt with my thyroid doc and she said theirs no rush and not to go off my progesterone. She also upped my thyroid meds.

I went to the doc for annual check up, pap and breast exam etc. They did a urine test that, suprise suprise, came back BFN. :(  I still haven't had my period for 6 wks though and have had several pregnancy symtoms so I am feeling very frustrated. I did get blood drawn so we'll see what happens! I am also going to speak with my other doc, thyroid doc, to see if going off progesterone would term a pregnancy. This may jump start a period if I'm not pregnant but I don't want to take a risk if I am. More updates to come!!
