Hi Becky, when you look at your chart do you think you have ovulated?  If so how long ago?  I will take a look at it if you want me to I am no expert but have read mine for a few years now.  Are you temping, checking cervix or cm or all?  I have read that a lot of women try something called Agnus Castus to regulate their cycles.  I have never tried it myself and wouldn't be able to advice on how to take it but a health food shop might be able to help, you could try googling it that might help.  I would wait a few more days on the testing myself unless you have some cheap tests as it just gets too expensive.

Becky i would be really interested to peep at your chart to see what is really going on here. I had really irregular cycles and am also very overweight and i never thought i would be where i am now so there is hope. If you would like to show me your chart i can look and then better judge your cycle.

I would say though that waiting to test is the best answer as if it is negative it causes heartache and gets expensive. I know all too well the expense TTC involves. For me it was testing too early, i need a good week after missed af to get enough hormones to show a positive test!

I hope if af is planning on staying away, it is for 9 months with a very good reason! xxxx

Becky, have took a peep on your cycles and it averages out at 33 days so i would give it a few more days until you consider yourself late.

Your body is going through some major changes at the moment with your weight loss but i really think your cycles are heading in a good new direction, when they settle back down to a consistent regular number of days i am sure you will find it easier to concieve, to me it looks like your body is currently finding it's new system that will work out.

It is really interesting though, and i am still keeping everything crossed for you as you deserve it!
