Hi ladies,

For those of us out of the July game there are not many places to hide so I thought I'd start a new August thread to give us all some positive vibes!

Cycle 3 - BFP August 6th

OP posts:

If it is, will somebody tell my pregnancy tests?! I thought it may be. Confused now though!

frustratedpants · 14/08/2012 18:41

Isn't that a pg sign nic ?

MightBeMad · 14/08/2012 18:41

Hello all, sorry I've been AWOL. Crazy weird cycle this month (first since dc1 so I guess that shouldn't come as a surprise). Didn't get a smiley on the opk until cd22 (pre-baby was usually cd16) and temps post then have been inconsistent so I figure af will be later than usual day 32 as I oved late. Can't help but get my hopes up though - am imagining every symptom under the sun Blush

Hello newbie people!

Glad you've got your tests done, winkle. They sound very comprehensive. Fx you manage to get some quick results.

Does anybody know if the amount of creamy CM I have is usual for CD 30? I've not gone through dry / sticky yet this cycle. It's been mostly high volume, creamy, CM since CD 20. And increasing by the day at the moment!

Hello, I pitch up on these threads from time to time but have higher hopes this month as have ovulation bleeding, which I've never noticed before and not had since tracking my cycles. Apparently it's a good sign but I'd never heard of it before and googled it because I thought it was something bad! So, can I join? AF due between August 25th and 30th. Wow, lots of back reading to do!!!

Ahhhtetley · 14/08/2012 17:23

I started spotting a few days ago, which is about 11 dpo, it started a pinkish and 3 days later its a dark brownish, very light, hardly a flow at all. AF is due in about a week - could it be implantation bleeding or is it too late for that?

clutching at straws here as it has happened before and then AF has arrived Sad

winkle2 · 14/08/2012 16:51

I went to a clinic for the blood test and he was great - explained what each test was for.

Woody - what cd are you on?

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 14/08/2012 16:48

Thanks woody think it is a bit late to be implantation bleeding, most likely is the start of af. I don't know what the brown discharge is. The consensus seems to be that brown blood = old blood. So it could be the residue of implantation (being optimistic).

Good to hear you have got the ball rolling winkle but I can't believe your dh is still waiting. I would be calling up the GPs constantly (they need to chase up the path lab to see what is happening). I hope they were really supportive in your appointment.

woody17 · 14/08/2012 15:45

when I hope it isn't af. Could it be implantation bleeding?

I've had some brown discharge today - only when I wipe. Does anyone have any ideas what this might be?

winkle2 · 14/08/2012 15:21

I had the bloods taken at 12 and have to wait 5-7 days for the results.

They tested 12 different things! Varying from sex hormones level, checking if I'm ovulating, liver, thyroid test, etc.

hubs STILL waiting for his sperm results!

Just want some answers now!

cwtching · 14/08/2012 14:53

Hello all, here's hoping for many bfp's to come this month :) We've been TTC for 6 months now... come on hurry up little one! I will be testing on the 30th, many fingers crossed!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 14/08/2012 14:39

Bless you both winkle and 3little is not full af yet so technically not over yet. But I am not getting my hopes up.

Hope your appointment goes well winkle

3littlewomen · 14/08/2012 14:33

When, spotting does not always mean AF on way. I spotted all through first pregnancy, often happens when AF would happen or during implantation.

Just a small hope, but hope none the less

winkle2 · 14/08/2012 14:27

When hopefully its a breakthrough bleed x

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 14/08/2012 14:04

I had hopes for you this month too.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 14/08/2012 09:03

Just wiped and I have a tiny bit of spotting Sad am 12 dpo (could be 13) so af is on her way. Damn it all.

hollyscots · 14/08/2012 07:30

Och well if they're cheap it hardly counts!

frustratedpants · 13/08/2012 22:37

tetley step away from the test.
holly I have 9 Internet cheapies waiting for me. Wink so need to 1ww and going away at the w/end so no chance then, I will not POAS before I go. Hahaha my resolve sucks

hollyscots · 13/08/2012 22:21

Hey frustrated I like the sound of a 1ww! Super busy at work and play so hope it takes my mind off! May be developing a slight poas habit so i'm staying strong till the 26th unless AF comes first!

Ahhhtetley · 13/08/2012 22:13

Omg just found a test in my cupboard - step away from the first response Tetley Grin
