Hope its implantation not AF starting

Anyone else out there holding out hope that they are having symptoms of Implantation not AF?

Every month I put myself through the 2WW and I can stay positive. But I struggle most at the time AF is due... I think the slight light "spotting" is implantation every month! And it's a tortuous couple of days for me.

I'm feeling V alone in TTC journey. All my friends are Pregnant or have children. Not sure who to turn too with these emotions!

Currently 1 day late, I've had brown spotting for past 3 days. I would normally have started and today I'm super tired and have felt "off" all day. I'm praying it's really the month.

Good news is I'll find out v soon either way!

Love and baby dust to all Smile

@MontyFALD I feel you. It feels like a really lonely journey. I dislike anything that is out of my control, even though I wouldn't consider myself as being a controlling person. It's a stupid waiting game. Fingers crossed for you that it's your month!

MontyFALD · 30/09/2021 14:16

@Bundaberg84 thanks :) it's nice to reach out and just hear others' experiences it's this so you know your not alone! How's your journey going? I get you when you say your not controlling but it's something you can't control at all (other than trying the OPK tests etc...) it's very difficult. Unlike any other journey really.

I'm starting to think I'm just having a funny AF this month! I reckon tomorrow will be full flow 🤬 we will wait and see!

I know exactly how you feel. All my close friends have had at least one baby by now 😭 my period is due either Saturday or Sunday. Have cramps today and I'm sure it's AF. It's so gutting every month.
Trying not to test and just wait for AF 😬

MontyFALD · 30/09/2021 16:19

@Arly90 ohh I feel you. Every month with the 2WW I can keep calm but when you're certain it's AF and your hopes have been high for 2 weeks it's hard to just "start again!" And yes I feel ya with the friends :)
Maybe you can stay in touch on this chat and we can see if it is dreaded AF or not?

@montyFALD yes the moral support would be fab. When is AF due for you? I've had cramps on and off today if I get a headache soon I'll know its AF 🙈

whymewhyme · 30/09/2021 22:59

Can i join in! I've had cramps since sunday, started spotting mon/Tuesday then nothing no cramps no spotting...I'm due on tomorrow!

Bloose · 01/10/2021 00:57

I’ll join in… I’m due on Wednesday and my cramps started this evening, exactly the same as last month! It’s so frustrating.

Arly90 · 01/10/2021 06:00

@whymewhyme @bloose aw it's so frustrating. Nice to have other people who can relate though.
I've woke up with a headache.... My typical sign AF is just around the corner 😭

whymewhyme · 01/10/2021 19:12

Very frustrasting all round! I'm due on today and as of yet i haven't but i think i mighy overnight as i feel abit periody 😫 i hope one of us has some luck! Sending baby vibes to eveyone!

MontyFALD · 01/10/2021 19:52

@Arly90 it was AF for me too :( it's the constant struggle of being so hopefully for 2 weeks and then boom. Back to square 1 ... for me it's such an emotional time. And it's hard to think next week we will be hopeful again? It's crazy! How are you feeling lovely? X

OP posts:
MontyFALD · 01/10/2021 19:53

@whymewhyme - any update? Thanks for joining in! I'm out this month but trying to get back into the mental space of trying yet again.... how are you doing? X

MontyFALD · 01/10/2021 19:53

@Bloose I hear you. Frustrating is so correct. It's beyond description sometimes! Any update? X

whymewhyme · 01/10/2021 20:21

It's such a roller coaster of emotions esp the 2 week wait, I've really stuggled this month mentally. If i have no luck this month I'm going to buy those clear blue ovulation kits my friend use them on her second cycle of trying and is now pregnant!

MontyFALD · 01/10/2021 20:31

@whymewhyme I hear you loud and clear lovely. That why I think it's so important just to have a space to just say THIS IS SHIT!!! wishing you luck x
Which kit did your friend try? I have the clear blue advanced one and it's good but obv no luck for me yet! X

She used the advanced ones too, I heard the cheap test strips off amazon are just as accurate. Thanks for starting this thread I think it is just what I needed ❤

MontyFALD · 01/10/2021 21:57

Aww I'm glad it's helping in some way. It's helped me as I was going crazy inside my head!
I really hope it's your month.
I've also started a new thread for beginning of my cycle trying to find some cycle buddies 😂

AF still not arrived but still feeling all the signs... Just wish it would hurry up now.
Hope your okay...exactly next week we will be feeling positive again...emotional roller-coaster.x

@whymewhyme

AF has arrived, feeling very sad this morning x
Aw sorry to hear this. Its so gutting after 2 weeks of feeling hopeful. Fingers crossed next month is our month 🤞🤞x
MontyFALD · 02/10/2021 10:22

@whymewhyme I'm so sorry lovely. You have every right to feel that sadness. Let it out, scream and shout it and cry about it.
Let's keep going 🙏🏻 I have another chat "start of cycle" or something like that it's just me over there atm!
But just know you're not alone with the sadness

Aww I'd be delighted but I've had my body play this trick on me before 🙈if no sign by Monday I'll test... My hubby's birthday... What a gift 😂 and if not I'll be joining your other chat for the support of another month 😊

MontyFALD · 02/10/2021 17:13

@Arly90 100%! Aww I hope it's not another cruel trick! I was thinking of you earlier and wondering if there was an update 💕 honestly it's lovely just to talk about it to people who are in the same or similar boat. Happy early bday to the hubby here's hoping for the best present!
