19 dpo...

[HarrietO]

Ok ladies. I am in need of some moral support. A little background. I am a previous member of this site. My ex-husband and I tried to conceive for years. I could never get him to go to a Dr. but assume that he was the problem as I had a child before we got together. Fast forward to now. My fiance & I decided to try right away because I have some health issues and my Dr. doesn't want me to TTC beyond the next year or two. After what I went through with my ex ttc we decided we should go ahead and start immediately.

I am currently aprox 19 dpo. AF was due on the 5th. I have very regular cycles, and have not been late in several years. I am about to go crazy. I can not going to test until Friday. I am trying not to symptom spot, but I can't help it. I saw a little spotting day before yesterday. Not even really spotting just a tiny pinkish tinge. I have been having that heavy feeling in my uterus for several days. Not really cramps, just heavy feeling and some pinchy feelings in my sides. My breasts have been tender for a few days (not a normal AF symptom for me). I had a sore throat day before yesterday, but it went away by mid afternoon. I've been freezing even though it's hot. Blah!!! I know I am just getting my hopes up, and I keep telling myself that I'm being stupid. I go to the bathroom every hour just to check and make sure AF hasn't shown up. I'm ready to scream!

Baby and Bump was the only thing that kept me sane when I was going through this before, so I just wanted to come here and post for some support.

why haven't you tested yet??? at 5 days late you should be well in the window to get pos hpt?

I promised my fiance I wouldn't test till Friday. I will be exactly a week late then. We both know if I am left to my own devices I wil POAS 100 times a month, and we can't afford to do that. lol So, the rule we set was I had to be a week late before I can POAS. This is killing me!

I was on B&B before using the name FertilMertile but I couldn't retrieve my password and the last time I was on it was last yr. I wonder if I've spoken to you before. Anyhow, I think it's time to test!! If you've never been late before and you're having symptoms that aren't of the norm for you then it points to pregnancy in my opinion. The spotting you had sounds like implantation. Test and update us! Good luck and lots of baby dust!

Ohhh now I see why you haven't tested. Ok then, chances are you are pregnant but you won't know until Friday. The good thing is by you waiting you'll get a for-sure answer on Friday. No guessing about if you tested too early!

You don't think that 17 DPO is too late for implantation bleeding? Waiting till Friday might just kill me, but I promised, and I am determined to keep that promise.

I don't even remember what my old user name was. I don't remember yours, but chances are good that we did talk back then. lol

I'm sure we have lol.

Well, I had implantation at 12dpo until 16dpo so maybe it isn't too late.

Thanks. That makes me feel a little better. Although getting my hopes up is probably a bad idea. I guess I'm mainly freaking out because if I am pregnant then this was almost to easy to be believable after I went through what I did ttc w/ my ex. My fiance & I just started trying. I was expecting a long drawn out struggle again so I can't convince myself that it is even possible so soon.

 

[trulybl3ssed]

I understand what you mean but think of it this way: maybe when you were with your ex it just wasn't meant to be and that is why you never got pregnant by him. God knew you guys wouldn't work out. But now that you're with someone whom you're very happy with, God knows you guys are going to make it and He will bless you both with a baby. That's the best way to look at it. My brother and his ex tried to get pregnant for 2 years. She finally did, when I got pregnant with my first, but unfortunately she had a chemical. They tried after the chemical and it didn't happen. They broke up 2 years ago and she met someone else. She got pregnant right away and now she has a beautiful little girl and she's engaged. I always said it's because she and my brother weren't meant to be. She always thought something was wrong with her but truth be told nothing was and it was just that she wasn't supposed to have a future with my brother.

That's how you should look at it too when it comes to you and your ex. If you're pregnant now it's because it's meant to be that way. I know you don't want to get your hopes up but maybe you should because you have a reason to...

Well, Now I'm really confused. Last night about 10pm I saw some blood. Not a lot, but more than just spotting. I spent the better part of 3 hours completely destroyed and crying on my fiance because it was obviously AF. Got up a little while ago and went to the bathroom, and nothing but a tiny twinge of pink. I HATE going through this. If AF doesn't show up before tomorrow morning I am gonna waste the money & POAS (or 5), but I'm gonna go crazy in the mean time.

 

[trulybl3ssed]

It really could just be implantation spotting. Hopefully it doesn't turn into AF!

 

[HarrietO]

I'm scared to even hope at this point, but just cross your fingers for me. I'll update if AF shows, or tomorrow when I test. I may come back for crazy irrational ranting throughout the day today... who knows! I'm gonna try to get all the crazy out while the fiance is gone to work. He went through enough last night. I don't wanna put him through any more. lol Poor guy, he gets like 8,000,000 brownie points for being perfect last night! lol

 

[trulybl3ssed]

Aww lol. I'm glad you can rely on him. A lot of DH's just don't get it and don't even TRY to get it. Some of us are pretty lucky

I hope AF doesn't show up. I hope she stays away for 9 months

 

[HarrietO]

Thanks! I hope so too. He is really amazing. Trust me, I understand about the unsupportive ones, because my ex was totally clueless. I am VERY lucky to have the support I have now.

My poor DH keeps looking at me everytime I am running to the bathroom with a stick in my hand, I come out with a sad face and he gives me a hug saying - it's too early. I say I know I know but still..and then I get a huge hug with a "I know you are pregnant this month". Only if I had his level of confidence...

 

[HarrietO]

Well, I still haven't seen AF. Not a hint of pink all day, so it looks like I'm testing in the AM. Cross your fingers and send baby dust!

 

[NYcountrygirl]
