August - first month of TTC? Join me!

well i tested this morning, just because i thouhgt i had waited a reasonable amount of time but bfn. no period, and its day 29 now. i wonder if i ovulated late this month with all the stressing out i have been doing what with going away, so will be later than usual

Apparently spotting can last anything from a couple of hours to a few days like your period. It can be heavy or light. (I read about it when I thought my 'early' period was implantation!)

Sounds like spotting to me though. I also read that if you are light, try not to wear a tampon, don't know why, but it just said wear a pad.

Fingers crossed for you hunny :) (and you liz, cramping sounds good too)

I've told hubs we've got to have a good ol' sesh this weekend!!! Even though BDing every other day anyway lol!

Morning,

Well still the same this morning, but its definitely not like the first 24 hours of my period is normally: After 10 hours sleep last night I hadn't even quarter filled a tampon (sorry if thats TMI)whereas my period is normally heavy the first 24 hours and its still only a pink watery look.

Who knows...not me

I just didn't think spotting would go on this long, anyone else spotting symptoms stories to tell?

any further news madkatz?, i have had an ache in my left side most of the day, not wanting to read anything into it

I don't think it does either.....ooooooo.......excited for you. Can't wait for you to test x

dont worry i dont mind a bit of blood and gore

well doesnt sound like you af does it

No Liz it doesnt normally start like that. Sorry if this is TMI: When I wiped after going to the loo last night the toilet paper was slightly pink. This morning its a lot more and the water in the toilet is pink /red too after I went to the loo. But its not really red and clotty like my period is normally.
I still have cramps but that could be either AF or implantation couldn't it?

Maybe madKatz it's implantation :)

hiya madkatz does you af usually start like that?

Morning ladies, welcome back Liz

A lot of water pink show this morning, not like a normal AF so not sure what it is. CD24 so could be AF I suppose.

good morning ladies, missed me??

klou hope you are ok with your bfn, big huggsss coming your way from me.

looking in my diary, i got my days mixed up and am due af today, well actually could be any time, today is 28 days cycle, which is what last months was, but has been 30 days so its hard to pin point. i feel bloated (could be too much food in new york?) and got an ache in the lower left side (could be too much walking in new york?) also really knackered (could be losing a night sleep when flying back?) and seeing as how taking my temperature went out the window while i was there, i have nothing to go on really!

Good Luck KLou x

Well, I did another one this morning(Just In Case) and BFN, so am onto my next month of trying now.

Supposed to be fertile this weekend coming if 28 days again, so we'll have to see :)

AF is due on the 13th so just waiting to see now. Am determined not to test until after then.

Fingers crossed MadKatz sounding good :)

eaglewings I started feeling a dull ache in my right side about 3 days before FF said I was supposed to be ovulating, but that was when I thought my cycle was 35 days. Since changing it to 28 (I thought it was 29, but was 28), I actually had the cramps 1 day and 3 days after I ovulated!!

So confusing all this lark. Hopefully now I'll have proper cycle lengths and know where I am.

Thinking of getting some OV test stick things and grapefruit juice :)

Hi eaglewings - I think implantation is normally about a week post-ov. But it could also be an actual ovulation pain you're getting? Hope the nausea is something exciting!

Klou sorry about BFN. Big hugs. Madkatz sounds good - but I'm off for a cup of tea. Can't cope without two per day.

I'm waiting to test. No real 'symptoms' so less hopeful than before. Reckon I am due AF on Sat so will be trying to avoid testing until then.

This talk about cramping pain has made me rethink the stabbing pain I get occasionaly on the right side.

When do we get embedding symptoms, how many days post ov? Is it Ok to be pain not cramp?

Any views welcome. Am at home with sick child so the nausea may well be sympathy symptoms for her!

Morning,

Still cramping, really bad this morning. Everything crossed for a BFP this time.

Sorry about your BFN KLou. Like you say though not long to try again.

Am trying for about the millionth time to cut down on the caffeine

Maybe?? Good luck on testing.
I tested Friday, BFN so had a 29 day cycle. At least not as long to wait for next try :)

Morning All,

Cramps since yesterday afternoon....implantation pains?

Well, got a bit heavier and red this morning, then brown this aft.
It has no odour though like period blood (sorry TMI!) so bit unsure what it is.

Have convinced myself just AF, but I will still test when AF was due just in case :)

Will keep you informed x

Ooo Klou fingers crossed for you. Sounds like the right sort of timing for implantation spotting. Would prob do what madkatz says and ditto the waiting thing to test (though v easy to say when it's not you waiting to test!).

Sounds like implantation spotting. I would wait and see if it gets worse and how long for. I would still wait a couple of days to test, its a bit early.

Good Luck KLou x

TMI coming up

Been to the loo about an hour ago and wiped and had pinky reddy blood.
Due AF 8 Nov. Am 9-12 DPO. Could it possibly be implantation spotting?

Will have to wait if gets heavier I suppose, but got a very very slight butterfly sensation in my belly too.

No other symptoms at mo, but had the metallic-in-mouth thing 3 times in the last week.

When should I test if the blood goes?

Anyone else had this?

Trying to cut back on the caffeine and drink more fruit teas. Booze isnt really a problem for me as I rarely drink anyway.

Would be nice if it happened this month although as DH was away for a couple of days not sure we've done enough.
