Will AF arrive anxiety!

[hol92]

Did so well in the TWW to not obsess the whole time. I’m due on today and have the usual anxiety of am I pregnant or not! My boobs are very sensitive but I know that I get this some months before AF anyway. I’ve had so many months of ‘feeling pregnant’ and end up not being. We have been trying for over a year and half now and I just wondered how long everyone else took to conceive I feel like I wish the months away to find out if I am or not and I know it’s not healthy but I can’t help it.
sorry I just really need to vent as I have got anxiety about seeing AF arrive again! It just feels like it’s never going to happen

Bless you! I am keeping everything crossed for you. Will you test today or are you just going to wait and see if AF arrives?

I am due on on Sunday and I’ve been symptom spotting like mad. It’s so horrible isn’t it as you can convince yourself you feel different to then have to face the disappointment of AF.

Will this be your first baby?

Thank you so much! I’m not sure as I’m normally 28 day cycle but last month I was 31 days so I think I will wait a few more days and test if AF hasn’t arrived, I feel your pain so much and no one can understand unless they are going though it, my friend just tells me to chill but that’s impossible haha.

yes this will be our first :) how about you?

I don’t know I just feel like every month AF arrives I feel worse and worry more that something is wrong I just don’t want the disappointment again so it gives me anxiety wondering if I am and then i worry that will delay AF then I will think I am pregnant more... I’m terrible hahaha!

fingers crossed for you too! Have you had many symptoms? X

Yes this is like me, I go from 28 days to the longest being 34 days and it is torture when you are waiting to test! and no, I don’t think you can just chill, or when people say ‘stop thinking about it and then it’ll happen!’ You can’t just stop thinking about something like that.

No, we are trying for our 3rd baby but very sadly my 2nd baby passed away last year so there is added emotion and pressure this time around.

Have you spoken to any one about your concerns? Is it after a year of trying that you are offered tests? I’m not too sure? My son was a happy surprise for us so I didn’t deal with TTC with him, but my daughter we tried for 10 months so I fell pregnant before I started to look into what options were available to us. This is my first moth trying for baby 3 so I think I have a long road ahead too! X

Oh and as for symptoms, I have no appetite (not like me at all), I feel very sicky and headachy (but could be the heat!) I had some very mild cramping last week which I managed to tell myself was implantation! I really do need to chill! X

That’s so sad, I’m so sorry to hear that 🤍🤍

have everything crossed for you that it won’t be a long wait, your symptoms all sounds promising! Are you going to test early or wait until your AF is due?

I got like a stabbing pain that felt like it was in my left ovary 5 days after my app predicted that I ovulated so I hoped this would be implantation but I now have in my head that it may have been ovulation and maybe I ovulated late, but I also had period type pains a few days ago so I don’t know 🙈 I think after this month I will go and talk to the dr it might just help me relax slightly if we get the ball rolling

Thank you 🤍

Yes I am the worst for testing early so I have already done one test and I could see a squint of something, however I tested again today and there is nothing there. It’s strange because it has happened before where I can see a line but it turns out to be nothing. It might be the type of tests that I’ve used though. It’s best I just wait it out and see but I always torture myself!!

I really hope this is the month for you! I never feel any ovulation pain or twinges, I literally follow an app that I don’t even know is correct 🤦🏼‍♀️ My cycle is so all over the place I just have no idea!

Keep me updated if you do end up testing! X

Hey!! Right so I held in my pee all morning at work and when I got home at lunch I took a cheap Morrison’s test I had from last month and there is a faint line! I really really don’t want to get my hopes up as it’s very faint and I’m so worried it’s an evap line, I also keep feeling like I’m getting slight period pains and now feel paranoid that I will come on! I don’t know what to think, I will attached the photo xxx

That's not a faint line! Congrats!

As per previous poster, that's not faint very visable! Congratulations! It took me around year and a half to get pregnant with my first ☺️

thank you both! I know it’s very early days but the fact that I would be able to get pregnant is such a blessing we were going to get advice next month, I just didn’t want to get exited and tell my husband and the AF turns up! Did you experience period slight pains still when you found out you were? Xx

Oh my goodness!! That’s not faint! That looks very positive! Congratulations 🎉

Feeling a bit more positive after just doing a clear blue, it’s been such a long 20 months I can’t really get my head around it! X
