I was starting to let myself think this cycle might have worked, when I got hit with cramps today. Feels just like AF is coming. I'm 8dp5dt, and I was planning to POAS tomorrow (beta Monday). I haven't had any bleeding or spotting - just light cramps with continued dizziness. Any one else have this? I'd love some hope that it's not over yet!
@mrsm00re87 did you check the expiration date if it was an older test? Like previously stated, you could've also implanted late. I'm still keeping my FX tight for you!
@ssandberg AF cramps can be a good sign, meaning your uterus can be stretching. I haven't had any spotting either, but not everyone does. My major thing is fatigue (could be due to PIO), somewhat irritable at times, and I have been constantly hungry all week!
AFM..... ***TW***
I caved this morning (a day earlier than I told myself I would) and POAS. I received my BFP 9dp3dt using a FRER & CB digital test (1-2wks). Praying I'm just as lucky with my beta on Tuesday!

@capps42613 congrats on your bfp! So exciting! The first thing I did was check the expiration date, and sadly it said 2018. And I took another thing evening before going to my Easter dinner at my mom, bfn. I just don't think it's my time. I know it failed. I knew it failed 2 days after my transfer, just waiting on my beta to confirm it. Gonna prolly put ttc on the back burner for awhile and focus on me. Just too painful to keep trying.

lurking - I'm really really sorry @MrsM00re87 ! Ugh. I know the feeling of wanting to put ttc on the back burner. DH and I did that for a few years before feeling ready to try again. It takes its toll. I'm sure you're feeling a lot of emotions right now, but disappointment is probably at the forefront. You have already had a long journey, but perhaps after some rest you might feel ready to try again. And if not, that is totally understandable too. I hope your DH takes good care of you over the next few weeks. Let yourself grieve. Big hugs to you.

@flanners1 I am so sorry! I was rooting for u and still will with whatever u decide to do next! Ik it never gets easier but remember the right time is only God's time!
Congrats on the bfps and sorry for those getting bfn.
Taking HPT on Friday then Beta won't get those number until Sat. Today I have been having sort of cramping symptoms but more like discomfort and heaviness almost like the start of af hopefully not! Hope the end of this TWW is going quickly for everyone!
@Starlight811 I was convinced I was getting AF because I had cramping that felt just like it right before POAS. I was really down about it. But it wasn't AF! FX for Friday.
AFM, beta came back today at 469. This is happening! First ultrasound in 2 weeks. My clinic doesn't do a second beta if your first one comes back over 100. Does anyone else's clinic do this too? Two weeks feels like such a long time to wait until going to the doc again!
**maybe tmi: so lastnight i went to the bathroom and there was red in the bowl so i thought great AF arrived early since I have had a constant pressure/warm feeling lower abdomen for two days..only to find out it was coming from the back end called advice nurse they said could be hemorrhoid nothing too concerning. Happened again this AM so i am going to see medical doc today. Such a scare and on top of that being in the TWW doesn't help!! Anyone experience constipation from medications or extreme changes in bowels that ultimately cause hemorrhoids? Hoping that is all it is and nothing else!
Got my BETA results about 20 minutes ago. 9dp5/6dt and it's a positive at 40.6, I will not say it's a BFP but nonetheless a positive!! Second BETA is due for Friday and third one on Monday, we'll have to tread lightly and I pray that our LO(nes) continues to grow!! After 4 BFNs this is a breath of fresh air and I intend to take it all in for now, I am so elated I can't stop crying!
Continued prayers for all and always remember that the only right time is Gods time!
@capps42613 thank u and same to u! Unfortunately not a high number like yours but I'm estatic to hear positive for once after 4 negatives and just wanna take the moment in for now. I'll be praying for great numbers for all of us!!
@starlight811 I have been lurking to see good news! I have stomach issues, had them my whole life, Celiacs disease. Before I discovered what my issue is, when I would have very bad flare ups I would get the same thing. Never too bad, but enough to go what the heck!? It was just hemrhoids. Which sucks, but when your bowls are not happy it happens. Hopefully that is all it is for you.

@vssbrm thanks for asking! I went to my med doc and he said it was a medium size hemorrhoid internal that was causing the bleeding and a small external and that nothing more serious is suspected so much relief although hemorrhoids are no fun!!
Will be takig HPT and Beta tomorrow...don't really feel any symptoms of pregnancy so just very nervous for tomorrow.
