Results

So the results of the HPT were......... I have no idea. I didn't get a chance to even use it. AF arrived before I could. 

I was extremely sad and had a good cry about it. Deep down, I kind of knew it wasn't to be. But hubby was getting excited and even though I told myself not to get caught up in his excitement until we took the test, I still did. 
But it's over now and we can enjoy the practice. Not sure if we're going to continue with the not actively trying or what but hubby is going away again for 2 months starting on Monday. We'll only get to practice weekends, so we'll see.

Now I need to figure out why AF was 8 days late and why my pms was so out of wack. Or do I just leave it and go with the flow??? 

Day 8

Day 8 of no AF and we didn't manage to get an HPT yesterday. Will definitely get one today. 

This is just a quick update on me... 

I feel like every time I go to the loo (which ends up being up to 10 times for the day) I'm expecting to see AF has arrived. And the huge sense of relief whenever I realise that it hasn't happened yet....

I am super teary!!! I can't read anything, look at photos, watch tv, anything, then I want to cry. Even the most mundane things make me teary. Watching Matthew play with his toy cars, for goodness sake, makes me teary. This alone makes me positive that I'll see 2 lines on that test.

Cramping is still going strong. The cramps are on both sides (near where I normally get my ovarian pains), they come and go and aren't that bad that I can't manage. I have started getting pains in my groin as well, similar to the ligament pains I had when I was pregnant with Matthew. 

The nausea has subsided a bit. It's not bad at all (touch wood) and come in waves that last a few minutes throughout the day. 

I've noticed that my boobs aren't that sore anymore. I think this is the reason why I keep expecting AF every time I go to the loo. With Matthew, I had major boob pain for weeks. 

I was telling hubby last night that I NEED to get this test and know for sure, so that I can stop torturing myself with what if's. I mean what if I'm not pregnant? Then why is AF so late? 
Must. Get. Test. Today.

Is it or not?

After a pregnancy scare last month (I was 4 days late) and hubby not wanting another baby yet (asked me something along the lines of "is there something you take to make it go away?", we seem to be in the same boat again. Only this time, hubby seems to have done a complete 360. Here's some of our conversation earlier:

  

I am 7 days late. My symptoms include sore and tingling boobs, slight nausea, running to the loo to pee more often, cramping in my lower abdomen and a sore back. AF was supposed to arrive 6 August, after 31 days from LMP. This puts me at CD 39. We weren’t actively trying and yet also not actively trying to prevent it.

So we will get the HPT tonight and test first thing tomorrow morning. Please hold thumbs for a BFP!
