Too scared to test

[Anoncasper]

Hello ladies we have been going through IVF for about a year now and my last cycle resulted in 2 Frosties being kept. I suffer from PCOS and I don’t ovulate every month hense the IVF. I had my last period in September and then 2 weeks later I spotted for 3 days. I’ve had nothing since. I then experienced cramping and lower back pain which continues to come and go and frequent bathroom visits. I’m also bloated.

I’m too scared to test as I don’t want the result to be negative and there could be other reasons for the symptoms above. Has anyone experienced similar with a positive outcome? Xx

You're probably going to drive yourself totally round the bend until you test Lovely. If you're not normally this late, you've got every chance of getting a nice surprise. But if it isn't a BFP at least you'll know xx

Hi Anoncasper. Well by now you must have done the test and I hope all went well for you. Thinking of you. Diane

Hello lovely! I haven’t done the test yet. I’m genuinely too scared to do it. I keep thinking to myself, if I don’t do it then at least I can live in a little bubble for a few days in the hope that I am. Does that make sense or do I just sound mad? Xx
