Okay, this one is weird (for me anyway). I don't temp. I wish I could but DS still BF every 2-3 hours at night so temps just aren't reliable for me. I also have very long cycles (32-45 days) so since we aren't using BC (but not trying either), I use ovulation tests (these ones: http://www.babycreation.com/dipstrip_ovulation.html) to track when I ovulate. If I were to get pregnant I want an accurate "due date" so I don't run into the 43 week rule around here for a home birth.
Anyway, I had a clearly positive ovulation test on day 23 (we dtd the day before). I had my typical ovulation pain/cramping that evening so I'm 95% sure I ovulated at that time. This was the same way when I conceived my son--ovulation occurred the same day as the positive test.
We are now on day 37 (14 dpo) and no AF. This is really odd for me. Last month AF showed up 12 dpo. I've never gone more than 14 dpo (I've used ovulation tests quite a bit in the past).
I've been taking HPT for the last few days (20 mIU/ml sensitivity). Still negative as of this morning. Any thoughts? I guess I just have to wait it out but if there's a likely explanation (failure rate of ovulation tests?) then I'd be curious to hear it.
