After years of heartbreaking infertility with no known cause and multiple rounds of failed IVF. My period is 6 days late, I have dull cramp but nothing like it normally is. AIBU to wish/hope/pray that amongst this chaos DH and I finally get our happy ending. I have one test left in the house, part of me wants to put myself out of my misery but I know if it's negative I'll completely fall apart and I can't afford that as have a huge week at work. AIBU to think it's finally my turn?

Hoping and praying for you Flowers
Is your period very regular?

helpmefindit · 06/05/2020 01:28

Hope it's your month, OP Thanks

Isobored · 06/05/2020 01:34

It's rarely late and never this much. I do feel like I have cramp but I've felt this way for nearly a week. Assumed it was AF on her way, but now not so sure. Normally cramp is bad, wakes me up in my sleep, needing to take strong painkillers. But this is just mildly annoying. But I can't face being disappointed 😞

Everything crossed for you OP. xFlowers

Keeping everything crossed for you. Everyone is obviously different but my first symptom was a slight cramp that lasted a couple of weeks. Good luck.

I cramped when my period was due with all of mine.
Good luck!!! I really hope you get a positive 🤞🤞

Lifeaback · 06/05/2020 01:44

Fingers crossed for you OP! Hold out on testing if you don’t think you’ll be able to cope with a negative right now (easier said than done, I know)

Sending you luck Flowers

I'm going to try to get to Saturday. Then I can deal with the upset then in the confines of my home without having to put a brave face on through meetings. However I am struggling to concentrate. Just been googling early symptoms and am too scared to go to the toilet in case she appears. I'm having to avoid going upstairs because that's where the test is .......help!!

beethecrackon24995 · 06/05/2020 02:45

Ahh OP. I never comment on these type of threads but your hope is palpable.
I am keeping everything crossed that your time is now 🤞🏼
Sending all best wishes from across an ocean.

Persiaclementine · 06/05/2020 02:56

I was waiting a week with period cramps thinking I was bound to come on any day (even though i only cramp after or just before my period arives) it was only my sence of smell that made me think i should test. Fingers crossed, the cramping sounds very much like early pregnancy symptom, especially if you have white cm and no signs of af.

Isobored · 06/05/2020 05:11

I'm wondering if I should test to put myself out of my misery..... I'm not being overly productive today to be honest 🙈 DH is trying to get me to lower my expectations.....but I can't but hope upon hope.

Tumbleweed101 · 06/05/2020 06:01

Just go and find out. You’ll not rest until you do now. Good luck!

TKAAHUARTG · 06/05/2020 06:15

I think you should test.

Rachie1973 · 06/05/2020 06:19
