I’m starting to get AF pains thinking I’ll come on over next few days 😞 how is everyone else

Fairy0708 · 24/03/2024 13:59

@TicklishDreamer same! Having them since yesterday, usual bloating, spots etc. due on weds/Thurs but have also had a few shorter cycles here and there so could also be any day.

I'm soooo full of cold as well and trying to potty train this weekend so it's bundles of fun 😆

TicklishDreamer · 24/03/2024 14:19

@Fairy0708 im due Saturday but I’m certain she’s going to come early!!

potty training I hate it I don’t envy you!

With my son I was convinced I wasn't pregnancy but I was very lucky that he was actually conceived the first cycle so had never previously paid so much attention to my body between ovulation and AF. I know I had cramps, bloating and cm as I had written it all down. I was definitely more distracted as we were moving that same weekend and zero expectation (like I do now as months have gone on!).

In a moment of weakness I almost ordered ovulation sticks today but promised myself I won't use them any more 🫣

TicklishDreamer · 24/03/2024 14:42

@Fairy0708 i can’t remember with either of my boys my youngest is 3 and I can’t remember if I had anything before hand! With my miscarriage I had increased cm and I think a few cramps here and there! So maybe we aren’t out!

oh no don’t use them I hate them they make me so stressed

Fairy0708 · 26/03/2024 10:16

How is everyone doing? I'm expecting AF tomorrow/Thurs. Cramps in full swing! I have had really bad nausea but I put that down to having a virus at the moment and sometimes get nausea before AF anyway.

Cycle 9 anyone?😞

TicklishDreamer · 26/03/2024 10:19

@Fairy0708 ive been having cramps I think AF on the way! Usual CM for pre period too!
it will be onto cycle 3 for me post miscarriage! Looking positive least I won’t have 2 December birthdays!

Fairy0708 · 26/03/2024 10:46

@TicklishDreamer it feels like AF/fertile week whizzes by and then the last 2 or so weeks drag! I'm pretty sure I have a longer luteal phase of 14-16 days which just dragssss.

Yep that is a good way to look at it. My husband and all his siblings have birthdays in December too.

Hopefully we can at least enjoy the Bank hol and not be in limbo anymore!

TicklishDreamer · 26/03/2024 10:59

@Fairy0708 it does! Why does it go so slow!
yes my period should be here Friday/Saturday at latest so I can enjoy my weekend knowing a new month is on its way!

December birthdays aren’t great my little boys is the 9th and it always feels like everything we do for him is Christmas themed 🙄

TicklishDreamer · 26/03/2024 11:48

@Middleagedbeige not tested! I’m 10DPO and waiting till Saturday at the earliest! I’ll buy a test in this weeks shopping if I don’t have a period by Friday! I can’t keep them in the house I’d be addicted! But I think I’ve just PMS to be honest!
@Xxfifixx89 We will have to keep the thread going for next month too I think I’m out I’m getting usual PMS 🙄

I’ve been having some wines because I’m away, felt guilty about it, but might not even be pregnant so trying not to worry! You’re never out until AF turns up. Some pregnancy symptoms and pms can be the same.

Ooh we are at exactly the same point then! I’m going to wait until the weekend too.
I have some spotting/cramps around 7dpo so I’m staying hopeful.
It’s only my first cycle, I got pregnant with my son on the first cycle but I doubt I will get that lucky a second time.

I thought it was too early to test atm? That it could produce false negatives?

TicklishDreamer · 26/03/2024 19:42

@Xxfifixx89 you’d think at least one person would 🙄 you spend so much time trying not to get pregnant then when you want to be it’s not that easy 🤦🏼‍♀️
@Middleagedbeige we are! I’m trying to tell myself I could still be pregnant but I’ve just a feeling I’m not!
dont stress about having wine!! My first little boy was a complete whoops! The weekend before I found out I was pregnant with him I drank so much and he was absolutely fine!

Aw thank you both for putting my mind at ease. We’re away until Monday so if I test at the weekend then if it’s a bfn I won’t be sad for too much of the holiday. Unless AF shows up ofc.
