I just need to wait don't I?

[Jamill87]

We have been TTC since April when I stopped taking the pill, however I have only started monitoring period dates etc in the last few months.

Pre pill- my cycles were always 30 days, this was over 8 years ago though. The last 2 cycles have both been 26 days. I am now on day 30 and no sign of AF. I have had loads of symptoms but I have had similar for the last few months and AF has started on day 26, however I do feel different this time.

I have a few cheap strip tests this week and they have been negative, did one this morning and thought I could see a slight shadow, again may be in my head!

I have a clear blue digital weeks test but didn't want to waste the money using it as this point as it's the same sensitivity as the cheap strip ones so will have a similar result I would imagine.

I am so bad at this waiting and seeing what happens! Really want my bfp this month!

Sorry but i think you’ll have to wait it out :(
I had a very similar situation to you where I came off the pill, had a few very short periods and then got excited when my next one was late.. but it was just a longer period.

If it turns out you’re not pregnant I really recommend getting an ovulation kit.. so then you know exactly when you ovulated and when you can start testing.

I got pregnant the first month I used the ovulation kit, and it was a really long period so my app wouldn’t have predicted those as my fertile days.

Good Luck!

Thank you, I think you are right. It is so hard, i must go to the toilet about 100 times a day! I have had quite a lot of nausea this week and sore boobs on and off, also metallic taste a few times. I have however been convinced i am pregnant for the last few months.

I have been tracking my periods and ovulation on my fit bit app, obviously not going to be that accurate though.

I have never had a cycle over 30 days though so fingers crossed I will have a bfp soon.

It's so hard as no one knows I am trying to conceive in real life and I feel bad constantly getting my dp hopes up only for af to start.
