Can I have a hand hold please?...AF 2 days ‘late’

64 replies

WhatelsecouldIbecalled · 18/11/2018 19:04

I’ve been ttc 2.5 years. We have confirmed MFI. In the process of applying for IVF. Have sacked off opks and temping and trying just to enjoy sex before IVF starts but with a focus around the essential week as it were. According to FF AF is 2 days ‘late’ now I could have ovulated late causing a lengthy cycle. If I ovulated around the same time as I do normally I would be around 14dpo ish. Normally I would be spotting by now with first day of AF on CD29. Its CD31 with no spotting and white CM. I keep getting a crampy type feeling like AF will come but it hasn’t yet. And my boobs hurt.

I need a hand hold not to get my hopes up or excited. I don’t want to test and get my hopes up in case it is just a case of late ovulation until I am officially late like CD36 or something. My DH is working away for a while so I’m in this on my own as I don’t want to get his hopes up either.

Please hold my hand??!

Nothing this morning. No spotting but also no Cm just dry. I don’t think this is a good sign. I see lots of people increase in Cm before BFP. Think this just could be some cruel trick my body is playing on me Confused

If you ovulated on the 6th you should get an accurate result either way now.

Good luck op I really hope you get your BFP Thanks

HettySunshine · 19/11/2018 19:46

Sending all the strength op. Fingers are tightly crossed for your BFP xx

I think I’m going to wait until Friday if no show. That way if I did ovulate on 6th (last day of ewcm) it would put me at 16dpo or if I did ovulate as ‘normal’ 18dpo in which case if I am pregnant it should show up by then. Does this sound reasonable? I’m trying not to go out if my mind. Still very crampy but not like AF cramps.

Good luck OP.

TokenGinger · 19/11/2018 17:21

I personally wouldn't be able to hold off testing but if you get a negative, I'd say don't count yourself out too soon as it's possible your ovulation could have been out. Xx

How long do you think I should wait @tokenginger? FF reckons I ovulated on 4th November but then last lot of egg white Cm was 6th November? 🤷‍♀️

Hi OP, I ovulated late on my last cycle. I got my positive two weeks after I "should" have been late. I reached a point where I didn't think I was and just did the last test because DP said rule it out before we see the doctor for testing.

It turns out I ovulated 3 weeks late, because when I took the test, it was only 9 DPO.

I hope this is your time x

scaredandindebt · 19/11/2018 16:32

Fingers crossed for you Op 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I’m thinking if no AF I’ll test Friday morning. Then I would definitely be a decent amount of late even if I did ovulate late if you see what I mean?

Thanks everyone for your kind words it’s hard when you can’t discuss things in real life. Please keep me sane over the next four days!

TEST!!! I know how horrible the negatives are, been there, but if this has never happened before it could well be your month. Got everything crossed for you!

WonderfullySunny · 19/11/2018 16:16

Test not text although if it's positive a text before feb is probably a good plan...Grin

WonderfullySunny · 19/11/2018 16:15

Hahaha yes perhaps text a little before Feb hey Smile When are you thinking now? You have all of us on here rooting for you Thanks

Elly2708 · 19/11/2018 15:18

Good luck!!! Fingers crossed for you!

Sexnotgender · 19/11/2018 14:11

Probably best to test before end of February Grin

I can understand not wanting to see a negative but if you’re on day 33 I’d be seriously considering doing it today or tomorrow.

DH is away until end of feb 😱🙈 I will be testing before then if AF doesn’t show 😂

TheGirlWithGlassFeet · 19/11/2018 10:28

I totally understand not wanting to see a negative test. It is crushing. I think in your position if you really want to wait I would work out what your longest cycle has been previously and test a day or two after then.

WonderfullySunny · 19/11/2018 10:22

OP how much longer is your DP away for? Well done for holding out this long truly :) If you're normally pretty regular I'd be tempted to today Smile can understand though if you wanted to wait until 5 days late. Wishing you all the best Thanks

wannabebump · 19/11/2018 10:19

Just reading your thread @WhatelsecouldIbecalled ... sending you a hug & hand hold xx

I don’t know when to test as I can’t face another negative. How long would you hold out for? A week late? 5 days late?

OP posts:
FoxBoxRox · 19/11/2018 09:41

Are you going to test today?

Princesspeachy0 · 19/11/2018 09:38

Wishing u lots of luck! Hope it's your time.
