Getting more than the last few days from /home or stream table in Facebook API

I've been working with the home graph api as well as the stream fql table and I am hoping to get the last week or two of a user's news feed. So far using large limits (5000 which is the max) and timestamps to try and fetch posts from the last two weeks (using until and since for home and created_time > in the stream table), but I only ever get the last 2 or 3 days of news feed posts, around 200-300 posts.

Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a way to get a whole week? I realize that Facebook is going to limit the api and prevent apps from fetching years or even months of data, but 2-3 days doesn't seem very useful.

Now that I've waited a few days, it appears that I can still only get posts back to April 14th (this was as far back as I could go before), but the 14th is now a week ago and not 3 days ago. I believe that is was due to this bug where some posts would cause the news feed api to return an error. I believe Facebook fixed the bug and put a limit in the api after their fix to prevent further issues.
