Going out of my mind

allchatnicknamesgone · 20/09/2014 08:54

Hi.

Don't have a real question or point to this, but I'm driving myself mad so thought it may help just to write it down. There is a very very very slim possibilty I may be pregnant and my mind is racing, but I'm so scared to even think it may be true because I can't bear that come down.

Me:
Cycle 16 (ish)
Longest cycle - 33 days but I was very ill that month so I sort of rule it out.
Shortest cycle - 25 days.
Av cycle - 27/28/29 days.
I've woken up and today is day 32.
I'm cramping but I know that it sign for either period or early preg. I'm trying my very best to ignore it. Maybe I'll take a paracetamol so it may go away and stop me driving myself crazy.
This month we did it once! Only once because I'm about to start ivf! Yes, I have all the drugs and I just need to make that phonecall when I have my heavy flow. So I was all preparing myself mentally for the ivf and now this. It's probably just another cruel twist in the road to having a baby, but I can't help the praying and wondering.

And I can't bring myself to test because I'd feel such a fool if it was negative. I couldn't take it. I've told myself I'm only allowed to test if I'm a week late.

Agony. Sitting her with cup of tea and not wanting Aunt Flo to ever come, but at the same time if she's coming please do so I can just rest my mind and get on with it.

Thanks it's tough for you but you are prolonging the agony. According to your cycles there is a good chance that you would get the correct result. Do it- if it's negative you move on, if it's positive then obviously that would be amazing!

Good luck and keep us posted Grin

Ahh fx for you that AF doesn't show!! Keep us posted if you do take the plunge and decide to test, at least if you do POAS and it's a bfn, you have a plan in place with the ivf to focus on, and if it's positive - fantastic!! Fx for you and sending you a big hug xxx

Feel for you , take a test and at least you will know where you stand

allchatnicknamesgone · 20/09/2014 12:47

I think if I haven't had anything by this evening, I may pop out and buy one ready for the morning.
Funny, but I almost don't want to jinx it by buying one. Completely ridiculous.
Thought I might have seen tiny winy bit of coloured cm when I went to loo this morning and keep expecting to at least spot but nothing yet.
Thanks guys

The waiting is awful every month - even worse if you're all set to try ivf.

One of my very good friends found out she was pregnant the day before she started ivf after 10 years of trying. She now has a lovely 2 year old son Grin

Fingers crossed for you OP!Thanks

Hellohellohowareyou · 20/09/2014 13:14

My neighbour also found out she was oregano the week before starting Ivf, fingers crossed for you xx

Hellohellohowareyou · 20/09/2014 13:15

Pregnant obviously! She didn't find out she was a herb! Grin

tiffs · 20/09/2014 16:56

Fingers crossed for you xxx

GingerbreadBabyPlease · 20/09/2014 21:10

Haha, oregano, love that!!! We should make it the new MN word for pregnant! Allchat I have everything crossed for you, how exciting, I really hope you are indeed oregano! Heard of a few people finding out they were pregnant just before starting IVF, maybe it's the relief of finally getting there and having all the drugs and everything ready to go? Please let us know how you get on!!

allchatnicknamesgone · 20/09/2014 21:18

Hiya. Still nothing, but I'm sitting here cramping and feeling like period is just around corner. Then it struck me. I started taking Wellwoman and echinacea tablets this month. Could it be that? It my period late because I started taking vitamins. I can't find anything conclusive on Google. I try and avoid google but it's killing me. I haven't bought a test. Was going to wait until Monday, but now thinking it could be the vitamins messing me up, I don't want to test at all. A bfn is too much.

allchatnicknamesgone · 20/09/2014 22:11

Well the outcome is I'll be doing my ivf as planned. The first spot of AF just arrived. Gutted, but I've had little cry and its onwards again.
Thanks for keeping me going today. Lots of luck for everyone else xx

Sorry to hear that OP Hmm.

Best of luck with ivf, I hope it works out for you Thanks

Gemerama82 · 21/09/2014 08:50

Vitamins can indeed extend your cycle. That happened to me last cycle as well. By day 33 I was getting really excited as usually 27/28 days. But unfortunately not and I am sure it was the vitamins I had started taking (found evidence online as well).

Good luck with ivf op

Paraibalove · 21/09/2014 09:24

Sorry OP. Flowers

sending you shed loads of positive vibes for your ivf journey. x

funkypigeon · 21/09/2014 14:18

Wishing you success with IVF Thanks
