Anyone due AF soon? Fancy a chat/ moan

[iniquity]

Due AF today, but I'm too scared to check I've put a pad down just in case. I have some ad symptoms but I'm still in denial.

This will be my third hopefully I'm almost 34.
Best of luck you get your BFP this month too fingersX
My line wasn't that dark though despite being two days late.

iniquity congratulations!!! Very happy for you! :)

No AF yet and no symptoms either for AF or pregnancy.

Hi to all those still waiting with dread for AF to arrive! I'm in the same boat and know how it feels to just fancy a moan so will join if you don't mind!

AF was due today and no sign so far, but think I'm starting to feel the familiar ache...

Congratulations iniquity!! I'm just trying to organise a holiday for August so maybe I'll have the same luck as you!!

Sending good luck to everyone else!

Thanks everyone, I think booking a holiday you might not be able to go on is the way forward.
I hope you won't be waiting long

I'm now cycle day 32 but no idea what DPO I am. No AF yet, but I think maybe she'll arrive soon. :(

AF due Weds and having a few sharp shooting pains from hips radiating downwards. Haven't experienced this before, hoping it could be a positive bfp sign! How is everyone else doing?

Hope it is a good sign Fingers!!

I'm starting to go a bit mad. Still no sign of Af but only stopped the pill in December so not sure if I've just not regulated yet. Will test on Wednesday if nothing has happened but daren't get my hopes up. This sucks

I know you haven't been trying long @KnitKitty but do you have an idea of your usual cycle length? I might join you and test on Weds if I get a no show. DH said to me that he thinks I might be preggo this month as I haven't had my usual monthly PMS mental outburst 🙈😂 Just have another level of craziness going on atm with all this waiting... xx

I don't really know my "normal" cycle lengths. I've only had a couple of years of not taking the pill since I was 14, and I didn't track them in those two years. I think they were about 30/31 days as I think I used to start around the 30th of the month. As far as I know I was quite regular, if not to the exact day.

I've had a really, really crappy day at work and am feeling super emotional. Have had a couple of slightly periody-type twinges and have put a pad in ready. Really dreading starting, but on the other hand I'd rather start now if I'm going to, to get it over with.

Not at work on Wednesday so it'd be the best day to test. I can either wallow or rejoice.

Any other symptoms today Fingers?

I've also wondered if I've caused my delay in AF by obsessing about her not arriving!

Dreamt I had a very positive test last night and dreamt my mum told me I looked glowing the other night. But then I dreamt a lot about positive tests when I'd just come off the pill... I think it's just my brain over-obsessing even in my sleep! Sigh.

Hi ladies, hope you don't mind me joining in! AF is due monday or tuesday next week. Usually week before AF i get bigger sore boobs but since last week i have had an ache (not pain) VERY low down on the left side. With this i have had headaches, been ratty and the next minute crying and the most annoying lower back ache. I simply just 'feel pregnant'. Has anyone else had this? fingers crossed to everyone

I know @KnitKitty I don't think the 2WW does my health any good at all. I've been having a few palpitations with the stress this month!

Never felt pregnant @Mama87 but then I haven't had a bfp. Hopefully you'll have yours this month!!

Had a few weird twinges down below today. Pretty sure boobs are bigger and more sore than usual but that could just be my mind playing tricks on me.

One more day closer... 🤞🏻 xx

Mama87, what I'm about to say is by no way helpful, but thought I'd share anyway. About a year and a half ago while still on the pill and not yet TTC I felt pregnant for a week or so. Was bloated, had heart burn (never had this previously), was tired all the time, wanted to gag at the smell of coffee in the morning and had really, really vivid dreams and nightmares. I ended up being about a day late for my pill withdrawal bleed and the blood was very different to my normal cycles on the pill. I never tested, but to this day I am convinced I had a very, very early loss, mainly because I just felt pregnant. I'm sort of glad I never found out for sure though.

FingersXssd83 are you testing tomorrow morning?

Gosh yes they say you know your own body and can tell when these things happen @KnitKitty

Decided I'm not testing until Friday or Sat if AF stays away. Got a feeling I've got my hopes up unnecessarily once again 😒 xx

It's such a roller-coaster isn't it? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, but sensible to wait, as hard as it is, FingersXssd83.

I've got a plastic cup and my pregnancy test out ready for the morning, and almost as soon as I'd done this I started with slight abdominal cramps and back ache. I really think AF is going to arrive, but I really, really don't want her too and am clutching at straws hoping that it's just a pregnancy symptom. I will be CD35 tomorrow, but I think I'm just messed up from coming off the pill.

Well at least that saved me a pregnancy test. AF arrived just as I was going to bed. Feeling surprisingy ok about it, though of course disappointed. But I wasn't really expecting a BFP this month.

And so it begins again.

Sorry to hear that @KnitKitty but like you say on to the next one and all that. It's good sharing the journey with you and everyone on MN. Had some cramps early today which felt like AF was coming but hasn't yet. If I make it though the rest of the day, I'll be officially late according to my cycles since May last year. Good luck to everyone else who's waiting... xx

I agree FingersXssd83, it's great being able to share on here. I don't feel like I can talk about the TTC in this way with anyone else.

I know I'm still early days so I'm trying to stay positive about everything; I keep telling myself, the more cycles I have with it not being a BFP, the better I'll know my body, and the closer it'll be to that final BFP (if it happens, of course, which I'm not taking for granted with the endometriosis).

Still keeping my fingers crossed for you, but if AF is going to arrive I hope she doesn't take her sweet time about it and give you false hope! Let me know how you're getting on.

Hi ladies 😊 AF is due today, I wasn’t patient and did a test, it was negative I did do it mid day and drank a lot due to awful cold so can’t be 100% sure if it is correct. This is our second cycle after a mc last year. I don’t think I’m cut out for all this waiting!

Good luck @K0013 Sorry to say AF arrived for me tonight. Now on Cycle 8...

Good Luck K0013.

Sorry to hear that FingersXssd83
