I'm going to be relaxed this month...

[BalasMum]

Three days into the two week wait and I'm driving myself insane. Lurking / stalking all the threads on here so I can read others get BFPs and live vicariously through them!!

I almost googled "will I get pregnant this month?" in the hope that some mystical google witch could see into the future for me.

I have lost it. Anyone else?

Or "STILL JUST FAT"

Hey how is everyone today? I am an emotional wreck. Struggling so much. Normal for me a day before AF but this is a week early. Expecting her to show early.

How is everyone else?

I'm due my period in 5 days but have been having cramps, sore boobs and tearful today. So I think my period is about to show up early! I managed to walk away from the FRERs in Boots today which I'm pleased about (trying to save money for Christmas) but still holding out hope I just may be pregnant... it's my first month so I'm really trying not to lose my head about it. I know it's likely to take some time but it's so hard!

@Emelene I am always super tearful before flo - I literally can't switch it off!

I’m okay, had quite a busy day at work so managed to keep my mind off it mainly. I’m 7dpo today. I find the 1st week easier to get through it’s just from now onwards and waiting to see if spotting starts I find it harder.

Hope you feel better tomorrow and AF stays away!

I’ve been feeling really anxious and panicky the last 2 days . Been feeling quite emotional.. feel like af is on the way

Sorry others aren't feeling great either. Hopefully one of us will get a nice surprise this month though.

Good work today happy! I know what you mean - 2nd week is defs harder.

Hang in there!

Same here busy day at work so kept my mind off things. Only 6dpo so got a whole yet. Ate soooo much pizza tonight that's a deffo non preggers sign hehe I enjoyed it though. And so to the bloating...secretly finding an excuse to be fat also!!

Aww everyone here seems kind of down. all round.

I think I just had the most ridiculous reaction to a TV show ever. I’ve been binge watching a show on Netflix and one of the characters decided to start a family with her DH. The very next episode she’s pregnant... with twins! I actually said ‘oh you bitch!’ out loud and now DH thinks I’m insane. Why are people on TV just so bloody fertile? It sets an unrealistic standard.

Anyway, Ovia is telling me to test tomorrow but not due on til Sunday. I’m not sure whether to bother. Got two Tesco tests burning a hole in my pocket. I’m actually dreading it though rather than being excited.

I dread testing too bingbong

Sorry posted too soon! I find I don’t get too tempted to test early id rather just wait for AF to avoid the disappointment of a BFN. How are you feeling? Any symptoms? I know what you mean about feeling like everyone else is super fertile. I’m surrounded by pregnant women at work at the moment which is hard considering I’m over a year into TTC.

Glad you enjoyed your pizza owl me and DH treated ourselves to KFC tonight! It was amazing!

Yes @happybus28 I'm with you there in terms of waiting for af first!

We also had wine it was goooood I fully anticipate waking with a headache tomorrow but that's fine
Same as you a year down the line and I feel the same

It’s rubbish isn’t it owl I have quite a lot of ups and downs about it all. The first week of a cycle I feel awful and just want to cry and shut everyone out but then I pick myself up and carry on again! It’s emotionally draining though. Genuinely have stopped thinking it’s gonna happen now so I think if it does I’ll be in total shock!!! Probably another reason I find it easier not to test early aswell as I don’t see the point. Sending

Oops never mind. Didn’t even need to test as AF has shown up two days early. That never happens. I’m usually like clockwork, even down to the time of day.

Looks like I’m off to the doctors this month to get the ball rolling and see what they can do for us.

Really sorry dingdong hope you're ok.

Sorry dingdong that’s rubbish hope you can take it easy today. Hope your GP gets you referred. Not sure where you are but I had about a 6 week wait between referral and getting a appointment which I don’t think was actually too bad considering. I was expecting it to be months!

Thank you @happybus28 that was lovely what you said.

@dingdongdigeridoo fingers crossed for some answers for you

Aww thank you all. This board is a great place to let off steam and I am so grateful for the support.

So, ugh this is stupid, but AF isn’t in full swing. Last night it was quite a bit of fresh blood, so stuck on a giant night time pad and went to bed. Woke up this morning expecting a tsunami, and... nothing. I don’t think it was an implant bleed as it’s a bit late in cycle and it didn’t look like most pictures I’ve seen. I’m now crampy, pms-y and have no period. So I’m guessing it’s my hormones messing me about. So much for taking it easy!

Oh dingdong! How frustrating! But perhaps a glimmer of hope in there too? I mean you're not out until AF is definitely here, surely?

I'm afraid I don't have any experience or knowledge regarding what's happening for you. Hopefully others will have some ideas. It does sound too late for implantation though, I agree!

What an odd thing. Hope you're coping ok with the uncertainty. How are you doing?

That must be annoying dingdong how are things now? Hope you’re okay.

How’s everyone else doing? It’s getting hard for me not to get my hopes up now...still no spotting which would usually always have started by now and I definitely don’t feel myself. My skin is still terrible too which is unusual. Keep telling myself it’s probably nothing but there’s a tiny bit of me that’s feeling optimistic...im a nervous wreck every time I go to the loo!!

Ooooh happy that does sound promising. When are you testing again? Was it Tuesday? It's completely understandable that you have that glimmer of hope and anxiety about AF. Hang in there!! It's so tough but you're so close now!

I'm off the scale crazy by this point. Tested this morning and obviously came back bfn. I kept saying to myself how you had all said that early testing is no good but I still couldn't resist. It's because I have loads of internet cheapies. I think next month I'll make sure I don't have any in the house!

Tbh I feel classic pre period-y so I don't have much hope! Not feeling too glum though.

Hope everyone else is doing ok?

BalasMum yeah I'm the same to be honest feeling a bit down but not too bad as I have a few days off next week. Feeling all the pre period-y things not due till 4th but might do ic on the 1st

Thanks balas I want to try and wait until Thursday as I have a day off and will only be 1 day before AF due so whatever the result is it should be accurate but I reckon I’ll cave before then. Still only 9 dpo today though. What dpo are you now?

Happy -I'm a bit confused. I thought I was about 7dpo but looking back I think I ovulated earlier. First month I've tried not to do OPKs but I wish I had. I'm due on Thursday too but have a shorter luteal phase.

Owl - that sounds fair enough, testing on 1st. Do you have anything nice planned on your days off? We've had a lovely day today and it has really helped ease my angst!
