I am curious, was this something your doctor prescribed or are you doing this on your own. I worry when I hear people talk about taking "natural fertility drugs" especially if they are wanting to conceive. Excessive amounts of natural fertility drugs can actually decrease fertility. Dependingg upon what you are taking, and how long you have been taking it, the hormone change could be why you are not having a cycle or why it is late. The hormonal changes could also result in tender breasts. Or it could be that you are pregnant, and if you are trying to say your tests were negative (like I am assuming) then OTC pregnancy tests can show negative depending on the amount of fertility drugs in your system. Strangely enough, you may need a less sensitive test. Your ob/gyn can do a serum hCG and/or vaginal exam to detemine it as well. Good luck, Susu

My guess is yes. Even if you missed in April it could have been due to the horomones which is very common. Breast tenderness is one of the first signs. If you are congrats - if not keep trying! It's worth the effort!

You didn't tell us the results of the OTC pregnancy tests. You could be pregnant, but it is also possible the bleeding you experienced in may was initiated by a miscarriage. You are wasting your time asking strangers on the Internet whether you are pregnant or not . . . go see a doctor.
