so confused,12 days late and 4 negative tests?

-My last period was strange only lasted 2 days and had no cramping. that was late october.  

-Should have started my period on the 28th of november, it is now december 10th and still nothing! I just realized I was late last night...so I haven't been stressing about it.

-Boobs are very sore and painful, have slight one sided cramping and nauseous in very early morning 1-2 am.

- have taken 2 first response and 2 clear blue and all negative... my last pregnancy showed up positive a week early so this confuses me  :( 

 

has this happened to anybody else, and did you end up being pregnant? ??

I suggest you look down the page for the girl who is 13 days late. Read that. And the newbie link. It will save us a lot of trouble and probably save your feelings.

There's that one and also the "am I possibly pregnant" thread (also on pg. 1). This comes up constantly and the answers are always the same so check out the newbie link and those two other threads.

-No

-You O'd later than you think

-You are not pregnant hence the negative tests

-All the symptoms you are listing are signs of PMS

-Test once a week until you get your period.  Call you MD if you get a +hpt or reach CD60.

You do realize that the 60 day mark is a standard of care and we are not just pulling that number out our tush, right?

I assume her complaint is more about the fact that people get so bent out of shape over other people's decisions as regard their medical care.

However, anyone who's ever waited an hour after their scheduled appointment to see a doctor, or who has paid an exorbitant amount for medical care, should understand where these ladies are coming from.

Edit: to clarify

Do you actually have anything useful to contribute to this board or do you just really enjoy being contrary all the time? You seem to dislike everything about this board and the people on it so I truly don't get why you continue to hang around.

That was the point of my last sentence. The US medical system is such a mess as it is. It doesn't need anything adding to the strain.

That's what I thought she was saying also because I know the "rule" is 60 days, but knowing my cycle history, I couldn't wait 60 days.

You are not special. You ovulated later than normal. It happens, even to the most regular women out there. Multiple home pregnancy tests have been negative. What do you actually expect your doctor do for you?

I understand what you are going through.  I am in the same boat as you.  My period was due November 26/27th and no AF yet.  I am going to the doctor on Wednesday and hopefully they will have some answers for me.  Hopefully you will have an answer soon with either a positive or AF.

I say this with no snark intended, but I hope your appointment was already set up and has nothing to do with 'thinking' you are late (or you are already at 60 days without AF, but unlikely from your response). How do you know you are late? Do you know when you ovulated? I don't see a chart in your siggy, but that doesn't mean you aren't temping to pinpoint your O date. Otherwise please see the first response to this post. 

ETA: Loss in your siggy, so perhaps your appointment is unrelated and your response is different than OPs post. I am sorry for your loss.

Yea, really?? Umm, I felt bad calling my doctor after 130+ days, because of my history of long cycles. I think if you're freaking out at CD 43 and call your doc you're a jumping the gun, a lot.

We don't get mad. We just think it's silly, because it's a waste of the doctor's time that appt could be used by someone who actually needs it. It's also a waste of your time and money.

I have never had a long cycle and if I went 60 days without a period, I would be freaking out. If it happened in the past, I would be more likely to go by the 60 day rule. 

I don't see it as a waste of time if it eases my mind.

It's just a waste of a doctors time and an appointment that could be for someone else who is actually having an issue. But ya know, if it eases your mind, whatev's.

-No

-You O'd later than you think

-You are not pregnant hence the negative tests

-All the symptoms you are listing are signs of PMS

-Test once a week until you get your period.  Call you MD if you get a +hpt or reach CD60.

But don't for the love of god visit the doctor before the 60 day mark. People here get REALLY mad if you do!
We don't get mad. We just think it's silly, because it's a waste of the doctor's time that appt could be used by someone who actually needs it. It's also a waste of your time and money.

I have never had a long cycle and if I went 60 days without a period, I would be freaking out. If it happened in the past, I would be more likely to go by the 60 day rule. 

I don't see it as a waste of time if it eases my mind.  

It's just a waste of a doctors time and an appointment that could be for someone else who is actually having an issue. But ya know, if it eases your mind, whatev's.  

I'm not trying to go "against the board" as some say to other posters, but just merely to state that I never heard the 60 day rule until coming on this board and I'm sure other ladies haven't also and it's not the end of the world if someone goes to the doctor if their period is missing for 2 months. 

I hear the whole insurance argument, but that goes both ways, meaning the doctors, clinics, and hospitals play a part also, so in saying that, I'm going to the doctor when I feel the need. Also, with all these preventive commercials and PSA's telling people to get checked out, I don't believe the biggest problem with health care is from people going to the doctor too early and too much.

You do realize that the 60 day mark is a standard of care and we are not just pulling that number out our tush, right?

I assume her complaint is more about the fact that people get so bent out of shape over other people's decisions as regard their medical care. Which, anyone who's ever waited an hour after their scheduled appointment to see a doctor, or who has paid an exorbitant amount for medical care, should understand.

Ehhhh other people's decisions about their medical care affects everyone. 

Hginmd is right, you about the AE are wrong. As for waiting longer to see my doctor because someone else is there for what others might think is a pointless reason, I can assure you that 9 times out of 10 you are waiting because of how the staff scheduled the doctors time. I work in Pharmaceutical sales and Docotrs are always running behind because they over book them and try and see as many patients as they can in a day and usually give each patient a 10-15 time slot which is never enough time no matter the reason you are there for.Insiders tip, if you don't want to wait take the first or last appointment of the day or the first one after they reopen from lunch. And Cole why must I be an AE, enlighten me with your infinite wisdom. You know I am not the only one on here at that challenges what you say are those people AE's also?

I agree not every woman should wait 60 days especially if you have medical history or family medical history of cancer or something else that could cause your period to stop. Ovarion germcell tumors run in my families medical history so there is no way I would wait 60 days. That can be a big difference when you have a tumor growing. We all may be TTC but it is important to remember that TTCing is not the only thing going on with your body. There are other reasons for missing AF besides O late.

Why don't you let the doctors worry about what is a waste of their time and what is not. What business is it of anyone else but the patient and their doctor? You can argue it drives up healthcare cost, well what if someone does not go to the doctor because they were told they are just being impatient and it would be a waste of time and a co-pay and what would have been a non-serious issue becomes a serious issue and now the cost is triple what it would have been had they just gone in the first place to ease their mind?you really think doctors don't love to see hypochondriacs? It is $ in their pockets. But whatev's it is your health do what you want. I however have medical insurance that we pay a lot for and I intend to use it.

That logic doesn't even make sense, that isn't why I think you are an AE. You don't contribute anything, and all you do is whine about the board and the people on it. But hey, if you like to hangout here just to hate...go on hatin' hater.
