Conception Ambiguities

No one ever told me TTC would be this stressful! DH and I decided to TTC#1 last cycle (sort of a "last minute" decision so I didn't chart anything) and now I am 15 days late. I have been off BCP for almost two years, and for the last 12 months my cycles have been regular, give or take a day or two. I have taken more HPT's then I'd like to admit, then had a blood test taken @ 10 days late and also a BFN! I've been cramping for a week, but no AF. My boobs hurt, I feel "icky", peeing all through the night, moody, and all that good stuff. Doctor tells me I'm not pregnant, so why can't I shake this feeling that I am?? Part of me thinks, ok good, I can take my allergy meds again, have a glass of wine, etc., but the other part is paranoid that I will do this and find out in a few weeks that indeed I am pregnant. Ah! These are the days that I wish DH and I had an "oops"!

I have taken birth control since i was 16...i am 21 and stopped taking it last month july. I'm trying at the moment to get pregnant, its been about 3 weeks of trying so far. I am just curious as to how long birth control may still work after you stop taking it???? anyone???

I was suppose to have af on the 25th, it is the 27th, and still no af.. my back aches, my breast are super sore, and I have been very tired lately. No cramps or anything. I took a hpt on the 25th, got a bfn...could it be to soon still??

Well I ovulated on the 14 and AF is supposed to be here on the 28th. I took a test two days ago and it was a BFN.. This one was my first test since my DH and I started actually trying. I usually don't take a test, I just wait until AF comes but this time I had a really good feeling so I went ahead and took a test and BFN!! But AF hasn't showed up yet so maybe there is hope.

I am officially six days late. CD 33 of a 27 day cycle. I've taken three tests...one the day I was due, one three days late, and one four days late..all BFN! I've been late before, but never THIS late. I had EWCM for three days before I O'd, so I know it's not a late O. So far my symptoms have been random. Heartburn (sometimes) loss of appetite, gas, frequent trips to the potty, cramps..cramps..oh the cramping! It's lasted for a solid week with no sign of the witch! Ive had achey breasts and a low backache going on over a week now. I just want some answers! As I'm typing I have a low ache in my lower abdomen. I'd even settle for AF now. I just wanna know what's going on.

This seems like something I should know (my dh and I have been TTC for over 2 yrs.) but... I'm confused... why does the OBGYN ask me to come in at 21 days after the first day of my period to see if I'm ovulating when I thought that I ovulated ~14 days after the first day of my period?
