How often do you find yourself in limbo land? That awful time between a BFN and when AF _should_ be arriving, but then it doesn't...
A long cycle? A late implantation? A later ovulation?
Who knows...
You're in limbo land.

It's happened a few times this last year, and it's just the worst.
-
This happened to me my BFP cycle - I didn't get a positive until 4 days after AF was due. (That pregnancy ended in MC, but I believe the two things are unrelated. I think I just ovulated late!) Those four days were insane - the waiting is the worst! AND two of those four days were my now-SIL's bachelorette party! Yikes. I hope you get an answer soon - and preferably a BFP!
-
I hope you get a BFP darling! I've neve had a long cycle but I know many who have.

@Crystal: @mfa_lady: @MrsMccarthy:
Thanks for listening. Part of me totally thinks I'm out. I packed a pad in my purse today.
But then the other part of me thinks there might be a possibility, because usually my skin condition flares up REALLY bad before AF. Yet my skin is just dandy.
Or I guess it could just be a long cycle? But I feel so crampy. -_-
I don't think DH and I DTD at all the week of the 20th. So timing would be shot if I O'd past the 20th. :: shrugs :: Guess I will just have to wait and see. -
@HolisticMama: I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!
-
Did you track O? Im so hoping this is it for you!
-
@Snowdrop: Kind of sort of. I didn't temp this cycle and my OPKs can right before I thought I was going to O. I had a dark OPK- not quite a positive. So I figured I Od on the 15th, because OPKs started getting lighter.
But then I had OPKs that started getting darker again the following week. So I'm just a weirdo, I think. LOL.
I'm going to track practically everything if there is a next cycle.
-
I'm kinda feeling like I'm there now. I'm 14 DPO and got a BFN this morning. I should be out of limbo land tomorrow morning one way or another!
-
@Sophia: Not fun! How long are your usual cycles?
I have consistently been 27-29 days for years. Years.
And now here I am...CD30.No sign of AF. Creamy white CM. Bah.
-
@HolisticMama: I really shouldn't complain, my cycle is actually super regular. I'm on CD 25 and have had 26 day cycles pretty consistently for the past year +. I was just really, really hopeful for a BFP today.
I hope your wait ends soon!
-
@Sophia: I will keep my fingers crossed for you!
Have you played around with this calculator before?

Maybe I should take @BakerBee's advice and try DTD to onset AF.
Can't hurt, right?
Although I'm TOTALLY not in the mood. -
I am in limbo land right now.......14Dpiui and 13dpo light spotting on and off....so makes m think I'm out...but no cramps really, sore boobs........
I have not tested yet, I am going to give it until tomorrow morning, like I had planned!!!!
I decided to claim I am pregnant and not let those Satan little spots of blood shake my faith until I know for sure!!!!
-
@FaithFertility: I LOOOOVVVEEEEE ITTTT! I also claimed that I was pregnant last cycle and it felt awesome!
I've also read so so many symptom stories of people who spot for days before a BFP. Attaching an embryo is pretty strenuous stuff, I suppose. -
Day 4 in Limbo Land.
On Monday- I was starting to give up hope, because I felt like AF was arriving. Lots of cramping.And then it went away...As I mentioned, for many days, I used the affirmation that I was pregnant. As AF arrived- I stopped using it, because it seemed silly, but now I'm feeling a bit more hope.
There still aren't any signs of AF. Even if it turns out I am not pregnant, I will probably be closer to having answers on Monday, which is a good feeling.
-
@HolisticMama: Love it!!!! It truly does, just went to bathroom sorry tmi and NO spotting as of today!!!!!!!! God is good!!!!
You sound alto like me!!!!!! Praying it works out for us both! -
@FaithFertility: No worries. TMI doesn't exist here.
I consult my cervix multiple times a day. I'm pretty sure it's a normal part of the TTC process. LOL. In fact- I think I might start a thread about it. LOL.Something that brought me great comfort when I first started this journey was the thought, "Have I ever failed you before?" And it's true. I have a beautiful life.
-
@HolisticMama: see that is one thing I can not do......hahah I hate the feeling of my cervix being touched!!
Amen to that, I thank God daily for the beautiful life I have!
-
I am currently in limbo all the time, period because it's my first cycle charting and I feel like I am no better off than last month when I wasn't!
-
Limbo land sucks. At some point, I just give up and wish for AF to come.
-
I'm totally in limbo right now and I hate it.
-
@babycanuck: I think limbo is far worse then the 2WW or AF. I'm totally stuck. I have to act like I'm pregnant for the most part, yet I get glaring white BFNs every morning.
And I've been getting headaches every night and don't want to take meds. -_- I've also been waking up every night for two hours and also don't want to medicate for that either. :: sigh ::
-
@HolisticMama: Yep. I had a nice big glass of wine today because I refuse to stop enjoying things now until I get that BFP. I did that for too long with no results.
-
@babycanuck: Agreed.
I had an IPA tonight.
