I feel like I'm going insane so I'm coming to this trusty forum in hopes that it'll give me a bit of comfort/ease/guidance!
DH and I have began our TTC journey for DC3. We already have 2 DC aged 8 and 3. We are only in our 2nd cycle of TTC but I am now 'officially' 1 day late for AF (according to my Flo app... I know I know!!!) on CD35 but I was 'due' 5 days ago on CD31. I'm normally regular, varying between 31-33 day cycles with a pretty consistent luteal phase of 15 days.
I have felt like I'm about to get AF for a good week now, with cramping that has been quite consistent and strong at times, a feeling of 'wetness' which has me running to the loo to check if I've come on and tender breasts which has been a common PMS symptom for me since having my first DC - but no AF in sight. To accompany these PMS symptoms I have had some very unusual (for me) symptoms that have then planted the seed of 'maybe I'm pregnant' in my head. I've had waves of nausea since my estimated ovulation on CD16 (according to Flo), I'm incredibly tired most days even with a good night's sleep, I'm ratty and miserable even more so than normal at this point and I feel like I'm on the verge of tears constantly. It's hard to explain but I just feel 'off' and something isn't quite right. With my two other DC, I got a BFP before I was due on with both of them, yet I have tested far more than I would like to admit this time round and been greeted with a BFN every single time.
I know at this point a BFN is pretty conclusive but having read through 100s of threads on here, it seems that it is possible to get a late positive if you ovulated later - which could be the case for me as I only use an app that gives me predictions of ovulation - but the app is normally pretty accurate for me.
I'm just wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences/success stories/reality hitting etc etc, I think I've pretty much come to terms with the fact it isn't my month but I just want to hear other people's experiences to ease my brain as I currently think there must be something incredibly wrong with me 😂
For context, I've had a VERY stressful year but been more stressed in previous months than I am now and have stayed consistently regular in my 31-33 window so I'm really baffled. I also came off mounjaro at the end of October so I'm not sure if that could potentially be a reason for the delay?
Do I wait a few more days and re-test to feed any sort of delusion in my brain? or do I just wait for AF who is clearly being rogue this month!!
