hey there ladies, i'm a bit confused right now.. and i need some advice:
okay i had my period start on April 6th, and i'm pretty positive i ovulated on the 17th (had a + sometime on the 16th), on the 20th i was pretty darn sure af was starting (because it felt like period cramps), but nothing, and i've been very crampy every day since. i've had lower back pains almost everyday for about a week now, on and off headaches, i've been dizzy a few times, rosey cheeks, high and soft cervix, bloated, gassy, and very tired at times.
Af is due friday (technically if i went by last month's cycle she should've been here yesterday), but i'm going by my average cycle, and i've tested every other day for a week now, (including today) and all bfn...
my question is should i just wait it out to see if she shows or not, and take another test after i'm late, or should i just give in, and prepare for her to show up???
***also, my breasts have been tender, swollen, nipples look a bit bigger than they would normally before af, and areolas seem a bit bigger and darker***
thanks in advance
****UPDATE****
okay, just checked my cervix, and it's back up higher, and softer ... so yea... this is just so confusing for me.. my mind wants to tell me one thing, but my body is telling me something else!!..
AAAHHH!!
you see the really big confusing point for me is this:
the 20th i felt af like cramps (3dpo), and then on sunday the 29th (12dpo) i felt similar but not as extreme cramps as i felt on the 20th, but still they felt like af was starting.... i just don't wanna get my hopes up and have her show.
Quoting Seximama23:
Wait at least a week if still no af then test again because if you ovulated the 17 implantation can take.into 12 days and then.about 2-4 days to build the hormone
also, i forgot to add in this:
last pregnancy i had a problem with my placenta to where in the end, they had to deliver my daughter early because the placenta was basically killing me, (preeclampsia)... and if the placenta controls the hormones being released in pregnancy, than could they just be too low as of right now??
(last time i was pregnant, i was a week 1/2 late for af when i got a bfp and the only time i tested because it was an unexpected pregnancy)

okay, that makes sense to me than.. i'll just watch out and see if she shows, and keep track of what my body is doing on a daily basis, but more importantly what my cervix is doing.. =)
Quoting Seximama23:
It could.just be low hormones. I was 2 weeks late for af with my son. And I had a close.watch on my placenta.because it almost covered y,my cervix. And I became pre eclamptic at the end of pregnancy.
