I am getting distressed.... I can't take anytime off of work at the moment to go get blood work done. I will be able to in about 2 weeks.

It is 10 days past the longest af I ever had. I am getting scared. The urine tests keep coming back negative. I am afraid that I may have suddenly become infertile. I just want to know what is going on with my body. I know I had some problems getting regulated right after I stopped taking bc but I had 3 months that were pretty regular..... Is it possiable that 8 years on bc messed with me???!

What is the longest anyone had to wait until the hpt came back positive?

I am just scared at the moment.. Sorry for the constant posting of variances of the same posts.....

No really ppl can get pg days after getting of bc. Bc doesn't change your furtality if your, well can't say that for some reason I was more furtal on the pill then off. Anway no you should be more furtail now that your off. It just takes time to get pg anyway. Some ppl only try for a few days and get pg others years. I don't think it would change your furtality level.
Cheer up....
Not all pee tests work the way they say they do. Blood tests are a certain thing. Best time to take pee tests is ealy morning when your urine is satuated, they read better then but not always are true... If you read a few forums a few ladies pee test don't show pos til 11 weeks pg or some never do... It depends on your body...

Keep us posted and I hope everything works out for you...

Bc = birth control

it can take up to 3 to 4 weeks after missed period to show on a urine test for some pple. Some pple actually never show on urine test. Blood test I think 10 day after conception, maybe little more.

Thanks... I have been experiancing a flurry of emotions... Happy sad scared... Worreid... It changes almost daily.... Ugh this is killing me and my husband. We just started trying last month... Heh so we are hoping I am but you know what wishes are....

Some days I think I am and get all happy, then I think I am not cause the tests are negative. I start crying when I think about my parents being grand parents.... I cry when I think about if I can;t have children... I am never this emotional.... I need to go in and get the darn blood work done. I have to wait until the 26th... I am the only person in my office so I kinda have to be here to hold the fort down.

Part of me is afraid that I am not... And if I am not then what the heck is wrong with me other than bieng overweight....

thank you... Some of my girlfriends said that I was definatly not pregnant if the test came back negative expecialy since it is already 10 days past... They already have children and pretty much told me that the hpt are foolproof.

That led me to think maybe I am infertile. If my ovaries shut down that would cause me to not have a period... Ugh I guess I will have to wait until I can take an hour and go to the dr's and get my blood test done.
