I'm getting annoyed trying for baby number 2, I thought I would get PG really quickly as with DS I did on the very first try.

My first day of last AF was 26 July, should have ovulated 12 Aug and been good for conception 8-15 Aug. 31 day cycle should have AF today. I've done tests every few days (all negative, no faint lines or anything) as I SOOOO want it to be as easy as last time and I'm on a very tight schedule, its got to be born May/June.

Am I being silly? How long does it take for the hormones to react on the tests. Last time with dS I did a test 4 days after sex and was pg (ie way before AF was scheduled). So why no indication now or am I just imagining the sore boobs, tiredness heightened sense of smell?

Anyone?

You never know. I thought I was preg.. lots of neg tests. Took progesterone to induce AF for next course of clomid. AF never arrived as I was pregnant. Think you should give it 4 days before re-testing.

humm, realistically, you may not be as lucky this time (lol at your 'tight schedule')
I THINK that with tests now, by the time your period is due, they usually show something up.
Although utmost sympathy - when we were trying for ds I was CONVINCED I was pg on first cycle - had every possible symptom - including my period being over a week late - no idea how many pg tests I threw away in disgust that it was 'wrong' again

I've just read that back and I sound like a bunny boiler.
