AF on 20th - Anyone else?

[MissRoseMama]

Well Ladies, I gave in a tested this morning. 11dpo.
I have had wayyy too many symptoms the past three days that I couldn't help myself..
Major heartburn morning noon and night which i have not had since I was pregnant with my son. Constantly light headed and nauseous. And dreams that were wayyy too vivid and real for comfort haha.

So bought a cheapie..and i dont know if i have line eye or not but my best friend and I see a faint line.

I want to run out of work right now to go buy another!

I had a crazy vivid dream last night...and one the other night. The heartburn for me is nonstop!

Today I got the tingling in my legs - not sure if it was my blood sugar dropping or a symptom 😩

I tested the other day and thought I saw a line, but then had these ladies tweak it for me and it was nothing. That's why I say digital lol!

I just got off of work. The constant need to urinate didn't seem to be there today but I was so light headed all day and have had a constant migraine for hours. Felt some slight tugging above my belly button and my kneck and lower back are sore. I never mentioned a few nights ago when my son was up all night teething and crying my right boob started lactating a few drops. But never since then. Keep in mind my son is 17months and I never breast fed because my milk never came in..

Glad I'm not the only one who gave in and tested haha! I am so moody and exhausted 😐 can't stop eating but then right in the middle of eating I will suddenly find it really gross and have to stop. Very odd!

You are definitely not the only one. I admire people who are patient and can wait because I can't.

The worst part of this TWW is the constant back and forth in my head "okay, I really think I am not" and then "I really think I am"...it has to stop. 😩

My AF is due on the 20th as well ladies. Mind of I join you? We've been TTC #2 for about 17 months now. We have one DD and conceived in six months the first time before miscarrying early and then conceived our DD the very next month. I've been to the specialist now and my left ovary is small and I am likely not ovulating from that side when it happens. I've done two cycles of Femara with no luck so far. I couldn't do the Femara this month as they found a small cyst on my right ovary and the meds could have made it grow. I think it popped around CD4 as I had a sharp pain in that area and then nothing since. OPK confirmed ovulation at CD15. FX that we conceived naturally this cycle! It would be a miracle!

Welcome Sarah_Anne!

Aidensmama1 that's super exciting about the potential faint line!! 😊

Stickylizard / MissRoseMama - have you been testing??

I'm still determined to wait until AF shows or not. I had some pretty crazy dreams last night... About bloody whales and dolphins haha. Apart from that, not really any cramps or other signs. Guess I'll just have to wait! X

YES I do exactly that!!

Yes I did a CB digi last night which was stupid and impulse buy and totally ridiculous considering "as early as 4 days before day of missed period" would be tomorrow, what did I expect!! I have one CB left because I got a two pack, gonna save it for probably Monday, or Tuesday if I can hold out that long or get no AF symptoms. I kinda don't feel hopeful :[ TWW sucks!!

Baby dust to you sarah-anne! Xx

Try a FRER - even the digitals are more sensitive than CB for the most part.

I was going to test this morning before work (even grabbed the tests from my daughter's room before going to bed) but then DH woke me up at 6 - I completely forgot to set my alarm last night - and I was already late so I didn't bother to test. Tomorrow, I guess. I woke up from yet another crazy vivid dream that was really intense.

I'm feeling pretty discouraged this morning - my BB's were not as sore this morning...though they are still really hard with tons of blue lines. Not sure though if that's not left over from breastfeeding. I weaned my daughter three months ago - so not sure how long it lasts. 😩 Driving myself crazy.

Annoyingly, the shop I went to didn't sell them :[ I wasn't quite crazy enough to scout around multiple supermarkets like the crazy POAS addict that I am haha! I wish I was one of those women who one day thinks oh my period is late and tests and gets a BFP! This is all very stressful haha xx

Even better than that, I want to be one of those women who realized three months later they haven't gotten their period and when they find out, they find out their 15 weeks pregnant and have already skipped the stress of the first trimester!!

 

[London Kiwi]

I'm kinda with you MissRoseMama, feeling quite discouraged myself... But as they say - never say never!

I don't know anything about cervix position etc but I did feel mine and it's feels ALOT lower than Previous, I think that's a sign that AF is coming??

Agh this TWW is mental isn't it?!

Night ladies X

 

[stickylizard]

I'm so confused!!

Sore nipples
Slightly nauseous
Exhausted to the point of useless lol
Metallic tinge in mouth
Headaches
Moody
Emotional

BUT

Got sad because I have period pains in my back, earlier felt some pulling in my lower abdomen which is odd for me as I have a posterior womb even in labour my stomach is pain free - I thought AF was gonna come but when I checked my chart it's not due til Weds?? Checked CM and it's a mix of sticky/slight EWCM and with juuuuust a hint of pink when I wiped my fingers on tissue. I pray for implantation but my back pain is pretty bad so worried it's AF :[ never had IB before... It would also give me like a 7/8 day luteal phase which is very short even for me! Will see how CM is in the morning! How are you all??

I hear you 😥

I tested today (not with FMU) on a FRER digital and it said "No" which has got to be one of the most depressing words when TTC. My boobs have never hurt this much - they are crazy hard today with tons of blue veins, though again, it's also a PMS symptom so who knows. Going to test again tomorrow with FMU. I've heard Dollar Tree tests here in the US are good, so I might end up buying some of those tomorrow.

 

[sarah_anne]

Baby dust to you sarah-anne! Xx

Thank you! I really want to test, but won't until the 21st if AF doesn't show. I had a dream that I was finally pregnant the other night and I had one when I got pregnant with my DD too, so I hope that's a good sign. It would be a miracle if I got pregnant on my own on the one month that the fertility clinic can't do anything for me. FX!

 

[MyFavSurprise]

Hi there, popping in late, hope that's okay my AF is due on the 21st and I didn't exactly TTC this month...i really wanted to and my husband says we're not ready but i got him to be lax on the birth control a few times around OV..however now I'm having second thoughts and thinking its for sure motherhood suicide to have our 3rd so close to our second who is very high maintenance so far.. but we would be happy regardless of course.

I started testing early..way too early..out of excitement, paranoia, and simple addiction..all BFNs of course since it wasn't physically possible to get a positive yet! Feeling like a crazy woman.. but I get the dollar tree tests and love them.

I got nervous because i noticed the montgomery glands start to pop up a lot soon after ovulation and the veins in my boobs start to really show though.. i didn't notice any EWCM during or after OV which is just so weird because i always get it when I OV, but I did have it in the days leading up to it, then it dried up.. so i dont know what to think about that :/

 

[stickylizard]

Hey! FavSurprise having them close together is hard for sure but it's also great! Seeing them laugh together is priceless :]

RoseMama aw I know it's disheartening but I hear digis aren't as sensitive so don't give up hope yet! Post pics of your dollar tree test later :]

It's 8am here and the period pains have mostly eased off, checked CM upon waking and the same again, just a smidge of pink on the tissue when I wiped my fingers clean. These are good signs right? SO HARD NOT TO OBSESS!! I actually don't want to use my CB digi yet, seems to soften the blow if you can accept a negative result after having scrutinised a test to see if there is a teeny line!! But I have no other tests - it's a Sunday so options are limited and I am still only 9dpo so has to be an early test I guess! Wanna try tomorrow with FMU so will see if I can sneakily get my hands on an FRER (hubby still clueless!) Xx

 

[MyFavSurprise]

I personally would love to have another right now as scary as it seems..i go back and forth with it really.. i would love to have two so close together, I think it could be a lot of fun at the same time it's so hard. Nobody else is really supportive though, my husband says if i want to then we should but im so back and forth, it would have to be a semi whoops.

Wanted to second that the digitals are not so sensitive and i definitely got a bfp on the dollar trees before the digital.

So glad to know im not the only one sitting in the bathroom staring at what i know is probably a negative test, with my flashlight and phone camera, trying to find any hint that i should keep my hopes up.

The pink tinged cm sounds like a positive sign too, hoping for the best for both of you!

Exciting Stickylizard!! I hope you get that BFP!!
I know what you mean about Sunday's, we are currently In the car waiting for Shops to open, so frustrating!

I felt some minor cramps this morning, I think they were AF so I'm definitely going to hold out on testing as I only suspect I will see a BFN so will test if AF doesn't show.

I think I'm out this month... Roll on next month!

You aren't the only one. I took another test today - Negative. Starting spotting early this morning- dark brown blood. BBTemp was 99 so I know AF isn't starting soon. I do get IB, but I am pretty pessimistic about that being what this is. Although it is CD 28, which is when it tends to happen. I still think I am more than likely out though.
