If it looks like AF, feels like AF and arrives when AF is due....

It probably is AF!

So why oh why do I sit here in denial convincing myself that it could be implantation bleeding or maybe I'm one of those people who get a period and still be pregnant!

Aaaaargh, it's only my first month trying for no.2 and I'd forgotten how it can drive you insane.

And this time I told myself I would just relax and see how it goes... Pah!!

Hahaha, I had the same argument with myself yesterday.

Decided to take a break from ttc#3 for a few months. AF was early last month when I could have been pg but yesterday, when there was no chance what so ever of my being pg AF was a day late. I was convinced I was pg, I had the convo with dh in my head " omg I'm pregnant and didn't know, lots of ladies still have AF! it's a miracle! blah blah" . Woke up to AF this morning, the dream taking witch.

It's so hard to not get dragged into ttc madness.

I hope you get your BFP very soon.

Thanks Cpt! It's good to know I'm not the only one. I know I'm being bonkers, I just can't help it!

Good luck for when you start trying again.

Can I join here please? I have been trying to convince myself that AF is on its way and when I went to the loo and wiped (tmi, sorry) there was a bit of blood there and now I am disappointed. Even though I didn't think we could be upduffed this month I clearly had some hope and am annoyed at myself. Angry

I could have written your post! I'm exactly the same, 2nd cycle ttc number 2 and AF arrived 5 days early. Spent last night googling implantation bleeding, argh!!!

Elektra83 · 21/08/2014 21:05

I think I am off to drown my sorrows with boozy chocolates!

Grrr!

BobsyBoo · 21/08/2014 21:19

I've done the same every month for the past 18 months, implantation bleeding, I'm one of few who still had AF when pg!! I also scrutinise symptoms to find something slightly different that normal!

We're also trying for our second, fell pregnant without trying with DD.

ScaryMartian · 21/08/2014 23:28

Oh god yes the googling! AF started a couple of days earlier than expected (10dpo) so of course I started googling 'bleeding at 10dpo, implantation?'

I know deep down its AF so why torture myself. I'm just thankful that I didn't cave today and poas. I'd used them all up 7dpo

This whole process is crazy and I wish I could relax.

Good to know we're all in the same boat. On to the next month! Fingers crossed for us all.
