How do you cope with the wait?!

Hey Mumsies,

In need of a little comfort and rationality really.

I've been on Jaydess coil since February now. I always have all period symptoms and although I don't track them, I know exactly what signs mean I have a period coming on, 99% of the time I know when I'm going to bleed in the day, and they are relatively regular I believe.

About 2 weeks ago I had some of my usual symptoms that signal my period is due in a week or so but I haven't had any symptoms since which is very unusual.

I've taken a negative test but am aware it still may be a little early (especially as I don't track properly) so I'm going to wait for at least another week.

I've thought I may be preggo once or twice before, taken a neg test and just forgotten all about it, mainly as my period had started by this point, but this time I just can't shake the intuition feeling. I can't take my mind off it at all. My period never comes this late after the symptoms.

All I'm doing at work is sitting at the computer and googling (hence I'm now on this forum); I'm going a bit insane I'm not sure whether I can't shake it because I've been incredibly broody for a while and I'm linking/ creating symptoms in desperation, or whether it's maybe an actual intuition thing. I know there's a variety of reasons other than pregnancy that could be the culprits...I just can't shake that feeling that it's not them/ can't bring myself to accept them!

How do/ have you guys rationalised yourself in the waiting time?

HELP PLEASE? sad sad I feel a bit lost at the moment as DH (darling husband) is a bit crap at comforting (not uncaring just bad at knowing what to say)

There isn’t a way to distract your self I don’t think and it’s a feeling you will get used to.
After you finally get the + you have been waiting for comes the wait for the scan then the next one then the birth I think it’s parenting prep because patients is a massive lesson.
It’s hard but look at the positive every day you don’t come on it’s more likely that you are.
When did you test maby try again
