a mother's opinion

[Tiffa130]

I've been having unprotected sex with my fiance for a long time, we never got pregnant. Last month we decided to calculate ovulation days. I'm now 4-5 days late but I hate being disappointed with pregnancy tests.
I broke out and have cramps which I thought were period signs, but still no period. I'm exhausted and my discharge is clear (not white) and thick (TMI sorry =D)

Should I wait a while longer for my period to come (I'm not always regular) or should I just take a test and deal with the possibility of being disappointed again?

Any opinions from someone who's gone through it greatly appreciated

Still no period, if I don't get it by tomorrow morning I'm going to the drs. after work. I will keep you updated, thanks for the advice

I know how it is to be disappointed by a BFN, but I would test, just to be sure. I wish you the best of luck and if you do decide to test, let us know what happens, ok? Oh, and peeonastick.com is a great resource, bam told me about it too...it's how I knew I had a false positive last cycle...(FYI--try to get a red dye test, as blue dye tests have more of a history of false positives..)
Good Luck!! :D

I have had issues with my ovulation in the past and been off by a week and got bfns. I would re test in a few days and if still uncertain get your blood drawn. It is the most accurate especially when you feel like you are having pg signs....It can be tricky every test is different and has different levels of hcg needed to get a pos result. Bam acutally told me all about pee on a stick which is a website that tells you different brands and hcg levels to get a positive result!

If you have a pretty clear idea of when you O'd and it's 14 days past that, then AF is late.  I'm a POAS'aholic, so I would say take a test :)
