I am 14dpo today. I've been testing; I took two tests yesterday, both negative. I decided I would test again today if my temp went up significantly, but it didn't, so I didn't have the heart to test again. here is my chart
My cycles these last few months have had LP's of about 10 days. One got to 12 days. I've charted for years, so I looked back through all of my charts pre-pregnancy and I seem to have pretty consistent 12 day luteal phases. Occassionally, I had some shorter and there were a few that were 13 days a few years ago, but none that were 14 days long.
Also, I always spot at least one day before bleeding starts. And I always have a pinkish discharge after sex the few days before I start my cycle. This cycle, I had that pinkish on day 8 and then a slight smudge of brown the AM of day 9, then nothing since. And I mean nothing. I obsessively check on TP every couple of hours.
Although i'd love to remain hopeful, two things keep me from it.. uh, the negative pregnancy tests! and also my temps. this is not what i'd expect from a pregnancy chart.
But what in the world is going on? Has anyone ever had a suddenly longer LP? I of course know that's possible, but with no spotting or indication i'm about to start? I know that tomorrow will likely bring me the answer, but i've thought that every day!! This is so frustrating. I know I should just wait and be patient and that is the advice i'd give someone else asking these questions, but it's just so hard! If i'm going to start bleeding, i want it to just start so that i can move forward. I know everyone can appreciate that feeling!
Also, i know it seems crazy to have not tested today. I just have one test left and my husband really wants to wait until tomorrow. He admitted that it's really nice to still have the hope that we're pregnant. He's so so hopeful this month that it practically breaks my heart to have to tell him i'm not so sure.
Does anyone have any thoughts? Advice? Anyone seen a chart like this end in pregnancy?
I'd love to hear what you all think.
my heart's getting so tired here.
sincerely,
in limbo

. I know how much this situation sucks and it's crazy it's happened to two of us within days of each other!
that I didn't wait just one more day to post this question, but there's just not much room for patience in this TTC process. At least I know you all understand that! 
. I don't chart and wasn't specifically 100% TTC but I would be thrilled albeit nervous if I am pg. I'm 1.5 weeks late for AF, which since they started again in January have been regularly every 4.5 weeks. I had crampy feelings at the 4.5 week point but no bleeding, then some weird feeling-like-pregnancy stomach loop the loops (which I had with DD in very early stages) and occasional mild nausea, but still no BFP despite multiple repeated tests. I'm going to stop wasting my money on tests for now, try to be patient and see what happens in the next week before retesting if still no AF.
