AF type discomfort for a week now or pregnancy

[crazedupmom]

Hi
ttc my 2nd dc.
I am on CD 24 and for the last week I have been feeling as though AF is on its way but so far nothing.

If this was a impending AF would it not have been here by now or could this maybe be early pregnancy instead.

My last two cycles have been 23 days and then 33 days.

I am also getting waves of nausea and a fluttering feeling in stomach I know that seems weird.

Hi crazedupmom
i am also ttc for my 2nd . this is my first month of trying
i am on cd 28 stopped pill and started trying rite away.
so i should have started today but no sign, i have had feelings of af coming on too but no signs for me either!! i have had cramps and nausea as well!!
did a test this morn neg going to try in a week if no af by then!!
you could do a test if you miss af
could luck coming your way!!

Hi (Was going to call you CUM then, but think I might not LOL)

If I may be brutally honest, I think when we are TTC'ing it is so easy to read every little thing, even things that happen every month that we wouldn't normally notice, as being a symptom. These 'signs' could easily be early pregnancy. They could also be pre-AF signs.

I do know, honestly, how hard the supposed 2ww is, have been there many times, I think the best thing you can do, although it's much easier said than done, is just to try and relax about it. Even if they are early pregnancy signs you still won't find out for a good week or so yet.

I really do hope this is your month, I will keep my fingers crossed for you, but no one on here can say for sure if it is indeed pregnancy or not.

Isn't it frustrating.

I have become obsessed with it, its on my mind day in and day out.

Good luck to you.

Thats the problem isn't it.

I have been through this before so ought to know better.
I have imagined pregnancy symptoms before and no I wasn't pregnant.

I can't help but get my hopes up though.

I do know what you mean, even when we aren't TTC'ing, and I know there is no way on earth I could be pregnant I still have the odd months where I convince myself that I am! I think some women are just naturally programmed to be like that.

When I get myself all caught up in it, and I find I can't 'just relax about it' I try to be a bit humourous about it instead, if I laugh the 'symptoms' off they suddenly become less believable.

Last time I went 9 days late for my AF before I got a BFP, that was nightmarish!!
