what the blinkety flip is going on inside me?

[LadyMaryCrawley]

hello to all you ttcers and thank you for reading. I just need to have it out with myself, so I may as well do it here.... bear with me...

Been TTC since April. Usually have a cycle of 30-33 days, not sure when I ovulate - thought it was about a fortnight in, only THIS time, when I used an OPK for the first time, I didn't get my smiley face until cd23/24.
Am now on cd36 with no sign of AF. She usually sends a calling card a few days in advance to let me know I should prepare her usual room (sore boobs, lower backache, moods from hell) but this time she hasn't.
I felt very very nauseous yesterday and the day before and could not put it down to overdoing it over Hogmanay (I overdid it on Christmas Day, so was being good). Have done tests but all BFNs (too early?)

The other thing is that I took Dicloflex for 3 days about cd7/8. The instructions say it can "make it difficult to become pregnant", but doesn't say how. It might be why I ovulated late, but Uncle Google has not been forthcoming with information.

I'm not expecting you to say OOOOH YES YOU MUST BE PG but any advice would be very gratefully received.
thank you

It can take up to 12 days for implantation then 2-3 days for HCG to rise to a level where you can measure it so its possible you're testing to early.

Also luteal phases can be up to 16 days so its possible you have a long luteal phase and the drugs pushed your ov later in which case AF may not arrive until day 40.

I know thats not particularly useful but if i were you i would do a HPT every other day (i'm a bit of a POAS addict) and see what happens.

Good luck x

If you smilie-faced on CD23 and CD24 and you're now on CD36, that would put you 11-12dpo - it's probably too early to test, as AF can come anything up to 16dpo "normally" :)

Ah! Thank you piggyboo and popcornmouse - I feel really reassured now! Will wait a couple more days and see what happens and stop panicking.
thanks again! xxx
