Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 12

FreddieFrugal

Well no AF this morning! I won't know until late evening whether it turned up during the day. She's got a parents evening tonight.

This is second cycle that I've had to wait to find out til the end of a parents evening! They need to schedule these things better!

EDIT: she text me, no news - meaning no AF.

Trying not to get over excited, but 9 days of cramping (Started around time AF would have been if we were right about OV being a week early) and late AF (based on glow - REALLY late AF if we're right about OV)

I hope she wants to test tomorrow morning.

Really shouldn't be getting my hopes up, we've had plenty of late AFs with nothing to show for it but there's never been cramping for this long without AF, apart from when she was pregnant.

fx for everyone else trying

I think my AF was listening this morning! She turned up at lunch time today!

Fingers crossed Freddie

I am still in limbo. I have a dental procedure on Thursday which I am wary of having but if keeping getting negative tests then there is little else I can do but go through with it as I do need it and have waited months. I am avoiding alcohol but already my diary is filling with invites and it's hard to hide drinking from my friends, I am the one that always drinks. Annoying now I don't want to :undecided

Apple that's good news, can get started trying now! Fx

Hope procedure goes well Rachylou

No AF this morning. I think if we do test it won't be until the weekend, as she's trying not to think about it while she's at work.

If it is positive then it would already be 6 weeks.

In the meantime AF could still show up, as it wouldn't be the first time we've got to this stage.

Well, menstruation is five days late. We haven't taken a test yet as each time we have been pregnant we have needed a blood test, so we are going to wait and test in around two weeks if my wife hasn't menstruated.

No spotting to suggest an implantation bleed, no idea about cramps etc as she wouldn't be able to feel them. The earliest we have had a pregnancy confirmed is nine weeks, so the wait begins!

I promised myself I wouldn't get all caught up in worrying about whether I was pregnant or not. It's my first time counting down my 1st period then ovulation since my miscarriage 6 weeks. I said I was going to relax and just see what happens. But, aaargh I lied! I must just think if it's happened, its happened and if not, just on to the next time!

Oh Selina don't worry it's so hard!

I had some AF-style cramps this morning and just generally feeling very AF-y so pretty sure it's imminent.

FX for all x

I'm exactly the same. I am just lost with the plans now that I am awaiting a first normal period and have had symptoms all over the place. Testing every other day, which is getting frustrating and I don't want to seem crazy but don't know what else to do if I get no AF. Seeing GP tonight so hopefully they can give me some proper medical advice as the internet says so much but each person is different.

Rachy I really hope the GP can help. I do know people who took 6m or so to get a AF though. That tends to be more when it's been the implant but from my conversations I was quite lucky to get mine after only 4 weeks.

Stay positive, your thyroid has just been asleep! (Sort of, it's how my acupuncturist described it and I quite like it )

Thanks Cats. I am just confused about the symptoms I've never had before. I've been off contraceptives in the past (not for TTC) and not had these before so it's all new. I don't know if I can conceive without having had an AF? Internet says people have done.
