Ask:
I am wondering because I am five days late with AF and took a HPT yesterday and it was negative. I had my son in January and started my cycles again in September, so it hasn't been long. They were just starting to be normal again, but I should have started either Wednesday or Thursday...here it is Monday and nothing. I've been having cramps and about 2 drops of blood (brownish), but I also had them when I got pregnant with my last son for the first couple of months. DH and I have been using condoms for BC, mostly lambskin but some latex. I know the lambskin ones say they don't protect from STD's, but they should from pregnancy, right??? I just turned 35 at the end of October, so I wonder if maybe other hormonal things are starting to happen and not pregnancy. Any advice would be appreciated!!
TIA,
Ginny

Answer:
With #2 I had a negative test at the hospital!!!
Answer:
I had a negative test, but that was because I had just come off of BC pill and my cycles must not have stayed consistant. I was 5.5 weeks since my last period before I got a VERY VERY faint positive. However, I knew I was pregnant as my body was telling me (very sore boobs and other fun stuff too).
Answer:
Hey, thanks for all the replies to this. After being 7 days late, AF decided to show. I guess I'm relieved and disappointed at the same time. My body must still be trying to regulate itself from my last pregnancy. It's never been this late before without being pregnant, but it's also only my 4th AF since Ian was born.
Answer:
I had ds in March and the same thing happened to me last month. It didn't come when I thought it should but then it did. Like you said, your body is still regulating itself.
Answer:
I did with DD #3....but tried again a couple days later and it was positive.
Answer:
With #2 I had a negative HPT, negative blood test at doc's office, and a negative vaginal ultrasound. Hows that for a baby hiding? OB had started me on a regimen of progesterone and we were going to start clomid when I finally got a positive on a digital HPT. OB ordered another vaginal ultrasound after that and it confirmed I was 9 wks pregnant. The also did a pregnancy test at the OB's office before she'd prescibe the progesterone/clomid. Thankfully, he's a fine little monkey now!
