I have been a lurker on this forum for years, but this 2ww has prompted me to finally join...I could really use the company!
I have charted all aspects of my cycle for the past couple of years using the iperiod app and I am one of those ladies whose cycle is so regular that it tends to predict my period and ovulation (according to ov tests and basal temp) pretty accurately every time. Sadly due to my DH having slow swimmers we have not yet been successful in conceiving --even with the added advantage of knowing we are BDing around the right time. Then again we only started actively trying again 4 months ago.
The 2ww always feels like an eternity and I am sometimes just grateful that it's over despite the outcome, but this time I was so excited when af went missing that it never occurred to me that the wait might just go on and on without providing any answers...
Every other month my cycles have been 33 days, but as of today I am now on CD 46!!!??? I have had two BFNs both after AF was a no show (1 was just yesterday) and I have a blood test scheduled for this upcoming Wednesday, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go crazy while I'm waiting.
I haven't had any of the symptoms that usually indicate af is on her way either. I generally get sore bbs the day after ov (sucks, because they tend to hurt the whole 2ww), this cycle they're not even a bit tender. My cm usually dries up after ov and comes back as light ewcm right before af shows, this time when it returned, it was a lot and hasn't gone away! I tend to get cramps in my upper thighs a few days before af, as well as twinges and pinching sensations all over my abdomen, this time with the exception of a very noticeable pinch on my right side at 12dpo, I've had nothing. In fact, any symptoms worth noting began after 14dpo. Since then I have had a slight, but noticeable lower back ache, tightness and constant pressure like someone is inflating a balloon inside my lower abdomen, and I find myself waking in the night to pee.
I know that it's not over until AF finally shows, but I can't help becoming a bit discouraged that I haven't been able to turn a pee stick positive and I am beginning to think that I am just experiencing a freak cycle. Just seems like hcg should be showing up by 5wks 5days if I was indeed expecting. Am I right? Just searching for a little hope!
