So Strange

Well, I'm on cycle day 31 and 17 days past ovulation with still nothing! No spotting, bloating, headaches, nothing. Every once in a while I get a few light cramps, but not regularly or painfully. I have an appointment for Friday at 4:15. I called the dr's office for a beta, but haven't heard back yet. Very strange happenings!
