Hoping AF stays away

Don't feel you have to reply I am just venting!!! CD22 of 28 day cycle and having cramps on and off since CD19. First month we have given ourselves a fighting chance (DH works offshore) - hoping AF stays away and praying this could be Implantation - anything anyone can say to encourage me not to give up is obviously welcome! SmileThanks

Ajords1 · 17/03/2014 11:55

No af here either! Although plenty cramps for the last few days. BFN on Saturday tho. I'm going to test again on Wednesday if nowt changes! Smile

Elektra83 · 17/03/2014 22:36

Can I join? I think af is due Thursday/Friday. Have been feeling nauseous/dizzy for the last few days.

Not convinced that it worked this month and have had cramps/backache for the last few days. I also have brownish discharge (tmi sorry). Was hoping for some good news but I think I might be out this month :(

Ajords1 · 18/03/2014 09:42

Hi Elektra - of course - the more the merrier!! Could the brownish discharge you are describing be implantation?

I hate the TWW - AF due tomorrow and every time i go to the bathroom i am praying AF stays away!!!

Keep us posted how you get on!

No Af again! Cramps have stopped. I'm going to test tomorrow morning as planned.... but don't feel pg. I think my hormones are just all over the place after having my coil out.

Ajords1 · 18/03/2014 10:26

When did you have your coil out? I had mine out in Sept 13 and feel that i am just settling back into a proper cycle. I still feel ridiculously nauseous - have done for the past 4 days or so - but i dont know if i would be feeling that this early........AF due tomorrow - may try a First response with FMU tomorrow if nothing has started before then................fingers crossed!!!

Ajords1 I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping it was implantation bleeds...I just don't think it is. The new thing is the nausea/dizziness, other than those I have the bog standard pmt symptoms.

It's still only there when I wipe and one app tells me AF is due tomorrow, another app tells me it's Friday and my own calculations say Thursday! Think I will wait til Saturday before I try testing. Although I am convinced AF will probably show by then as I am like clockwork.

Ho hum :(

Ajords1 · 18/03/2014 11:43

Does your AF normally start like that - i had read that if its only there when you wipe that was a good sign that it may be IB instead of AF?

Keeping everything crossed for you - how slow do the days pass when you are waiting to test?!!?

I feel really quesy and have done for about a week now - hubby offshore and freaking out - thinks i am telling him these things to wind him up - we are TTC#1 so i think hopefully if and when we are lucky enough to get a BFP we will have a momentary freak out!! haha! Even if i was to get a BFP tomorrow or near end of the week i wouldn't tell him on the phone - i would want to see the reaction haha!

Ajords - I had my coil out 6 weeks ago but a def ovulated at some point between 28 feb and 8th march (and dtd lots!). So really don't know. Confused

Ajords1 · 18/03/2014 14:41

Well if you definitely ovulated you have every chance!!!! Keeping everything crossed for you!!! Did a test at lunchtime - nothing - but wasn't FMU so not too down ......yet!! Smile

Elektra83 · 18/03/2014 15:25

Yeh my AF usually starts like that, but there's usually a bit more than what there currently is. This is probably why I am not so hopeful, although there's always that small amount of hope...annoying!

We're also ttc#1, I feel for you my hubby has been travelling a lot with work and always at the wrong time iykwim, this was the first time we've had a chance to dtd properly.

Ajords1 · 18/03/2014 15:33

Hi Elektra - exactly same boat re first month of giving ourselves the best chance!! I think that may be why I am more hopeful this month! Although every feeling or twinge I get I manage to swing between convincing myself AF is due, and then convincing myself that this could be it!!!

OP posts:
Elektra83 · 18/03/2014 15:34

Hahah me too, I just need to stay away from the tests that are in my drawer! I'd rather wait than be disappointed.

Ajords1 · 18/03/2014 15:46

Yeh it's so hard - I did one at lunchtime but it was negative - not first urine of the day and AF not due until tomorrow - having some real symptoms - veiny boobs, dry wretched into a toilet earlier and so tired! There has been a bug going round at work so in my more logical sane moments I try to hold on to the fact it could just be that!!

OP posts:
Ajords1 · 18/03/2014 21:32

Gone to bed as tummy feels tight - hoping it's not AF en route

OP posts:
Elektra83 · 18/03/2014 22:10

Oh bless you! Fingers crossed it's a bfp for both of us. I can already feel my resolve to not test until Saturday weakening. Might see how I feel in the morning!

Night night

Ajords1 · 19/03/2014 08:15

No pain or tightness this morning, still queasy and shattered - did a test this morning (day AF is due) BFN!!! :-( I hate this - its torture!!

Will try again in a few days - have 30 internet cheapies arriving today so i can POAS as much as i like without breaking the bank haha!!

OP posts:
Elektra83 · 19/03/2014 11:32

Oh bless you, I caved and did a test this morning too BFN here as well and I feel like AF has arrived, too scared to check!

I have the IC tests too, if AF isn't here by Friday morning/Saturday, I will test then.

Ajords1 · 19/03/2014 11:43

Isn't it frustrating!! Hubby just phoned from offshore - trying to explain how concentrating on things is tough when it's in the back of your mind - this limbo time is annoying - not that I want it, but even if AF arrived you could draw a line under this mint and focus on next cycle!!! GrrrrrrrrAngryAngry

OP posts:
toothachereturns · 19/03/2014 18:59

BFN this morning for me too. Still no sign of af! i'm going to assume I'm def not pg this month. work night out tomorrow! Wine Wine Wine Wine

Elektra83 · 19/03/2014 21:07

Fingers crossed you get a bfp soon toothachereturns, I don't think you're out til AF shows up :)

how has your day been Ajords1? I'm definitely out as AF turned up today. Meh

Ajords1 · 19/03/2014 21:09

I agree toothachereturns, no AF, not out of the game!!!

My day has been ok thanks, less
Queasy, sore boobs still on and off and back ache on and off too - could all be classic AF signs though.......

Sorry about your AF - new cycle, new chance!! Sometimes at least an answer one way or another means you can start planning when to DTD this month WinkWink
