I need a rant....

... and here seems a good place to do it, so please bear with me.

(background, age between 30 and 35. Came off the pill almost two years ago, but between giving a couple of months for cycle to kick in properly and the fact that husband works away a lot and at some very bad times the number of months we have been actively trying is probably half that)

In the last 6 months or so I have been pretty consistant and had 27 day cycles. Before that was a bit more variation and it fluctuated between 25 and 31 days at one point. But now it's steady. I get bloaty before and spot for 1-2 days before.

Today is fucking day thirty. Did a test this morning and nothing, not even a feint possibility of anything but none of my usual signs like spotting either. (I've been drinking peppermint tea for bloatyness anyway, as it made me quite uncomfortable, so that's not really been a thing anyway.)

I do have a twisty feeling, but at this point it could just be that I need to go to the loo!

I don't want to be late - that would feel like being 'almost' pregnant, as if I had just been able to hold off from having a period for a few more days I would be pregnant, though I know that doesn't make much sense.

I want to be either on on time, or pregnant with a positive test. Those are your two options body - pick one and get on with it!

Any tips on how to hold my ranty rage within?

Urgh I completely understand where you're coming from ! I stupidly tested today, which is three days before my AF and got a BFN. I was so upset and annoyed at myself .
Can you go to the drs and get a blood test done. ?
I'm going to wait a week after my period is due and if I still get a BFN I'm going to get bloods done at the Drs

I know - I feel it's such a waste when I test unnecessarily - like I should have just waited a bit longer.

Luckily (? I guess?) I haven't tested much, as I haven't often been late but I'm getting fed up now! I feel like I have a right to know on day 28!!!

I think it's probably too soon to go o the doctors as I'm barely late, just lost my patience this month.

Here's hoping you get a positive at the beginning of next week!

@TheFlame
I feel your frustration! I've been told I've tested way too early and I should test next week or after my missed period. But I've been watching a lot of you tube videos where people are getting insane positive results about 9DPO, maybe they are the rare ones I don't know .
I keep seeing pregnant people everywhere lol
Let's hope you get an answer in the next week , one way or the other ! Praying for BFPs all round !
