9dpo and feel AF is coming

Hi,

As the title suggests, I'm currently 9dpo and if AF arrives, which I strongly suspect will happen, I'll be going into my 5th cycle of TTC. So far I've realised that all of my LP's have been 9 days or less! Unsure if it's stress that's contributing. Obviously I'd never realised before as I did track my period but just not my ovulation. Last time I was the the doctors and we'd failed a cycle, they told me all the usual information about it taking a year for a healthy couple to conceive and we had not been trying long but I'm quite worried now again. If AF comes tomorrow it does mean my LP will be at 10days which is much better. I guess I'm in a bit of a flux because my LP will still be short. I literally feel that AF is coming and I've resigned myself to it now (PMA is out of the window lol). Took a test this morning and as expected it was a BFN and I know it's too early to test but I've not had to test before now as my period has usually just arrived so I got a bit excited!

I have:
-Intermittent cramping which is dull like AF
-Watery CM that has become almost EW like.
-I'm really mood and grumpy!

I've had no other indications that I could get a BFP. I've even told my DH that I think AF is coming. I know it sounds very negative! I just wondered if anyone else had similar experiences with LP and managed to remedy it in anyway? I'm taking Vit B. Complex and Seven Seas.

Thank you in anticipation of your responses!

Hiya,

I don't have any suggestions re your LP length unfortunately but watery, EWCM is not common just before AF so that may be a good sign! Fingers crossed for you x

Hi, thank you so much for the reply! I guess I'm also worried about returning to the doctors too soon as I feel they might laugh me out of the door as we haven't even been trying for a year yet! But you know when it just niggles away at you and it just doesn't seem right? It's how I've felt each cycle when it's arrived early. I'll keep my fingers crossed too. Trying to regain my PMA x

Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner!

How are you doing? Did AF show up? I would go back to my GP if I were you. If you know you have a short LP then maybe they can suggest something that may help. I know no one likes hassling the docs but it's often those who shout loudest that get what they want x

Hey! I'd be interested to know how you're getting on.

Currently 4/5 dpo and have all the symptoms your mentioned but I also feel a strong sense of smell. Not coping with certain smells.

Hi! I'm 11dpo today and really thought AF was coming. Rushed to the loo and it was just wet again. Bit of pulling pain. I'm being a bit of a doubting Thomas because I got my hopes up so much in my last few cycles and was so disappointed. Plus, my LP has been short for pretty much all of my TTC cycles so I'm unsure whether I've now extended it with vits etc. Or I've actually conceived! Good luck. Haven't noticed smell and still only got minimal symptoms in every other aspect.

@Frozeneverafter Snap! I've got the docs for my blood test results tomorrow so see what they say x
