Second cycle of trying...sort of. Tried at beginning of jan but missed ovulation as was at the end of dec. Period due 6th feb.

Am impatient. Want to take a test, but know its just a waste of money!

Your welcome.Smile

I'm gonna hold off. After the last time I don't want to be in a position where I tell people and then have to tell them the worst has happened... Again.

How do you feel about your BFN? I bet your as nervous as I am?

gingerbreadmam · 09/02/2015 13:07

oh fran thank you that very useful. u joining the board off holding off too?

id never heard of tommys useful to know thanks.

Frantasic · 09/02/2015 12:47

Well, we have both been there when things go wrong so if you wanna chat while you wait for it to feel safe, you know where I am.

Tommys is a pregnancy advice line they are really good. I phoned them a couple of weeks ago when I thought I was ovulating and had DTD. I said I'd update them but when I started bleeding last week I thought I'd misread it and it was AF. She was saying that the bleeding doesn't have to be light and pink or brown, it can be light a short period. And the cramps can be quite sore apparently, which mine were.

gingerbreadmam · 09/02/2015 12:39

who's tommys? well there we go there. fabulous news.

yes i keep wanting to join the october ante natal thread but might hold off until scan if i can manage or at least booking in.

Frantasic · 09/02/2015 12:31

Holy Shit! I called Tommys for advice... She basically said it's a BFP regardless of colour and faintness. She laughed when I told her I put a photo on here.

Thanks though... We can be bump buddies on mumsnet if all goes well. :0)Flowers

gingerbreadmam · 09/02/2015 12:03

just keep doing them until you feel confident it is a line. a line is a line as they say.

thursday morning i did one bfn did one thursday pm and got similar to yours. i think i will give a tentative congratulations now but kp updating anyway ha Grin congrats Thanks

Frantasic · 09/02/2015 11:55

I can defo see a line when I hold it up to the light now... There is a little bit of colour in it, but very little. I'm not sure what to make of it really. Glad you can see it too. At least I'm not going mad.

Frantasic · 09/02/2015 11:52

Just showed DD, she can see it too! Eek

gingerbreadmam · 09/02/2015 11:51

if youve got the tests id have a go either way i think sometimes its better to know.

fran when i enlarge it i feel like i can see where it should be which is what mine was like. on the small pic it looks quite obvious tho but i cnt tell if theres any colour to it. hold a wee in and have another go hahaha! if u shine light through the back of it you will see for sure whether there is a line i think.

pissovski · 09/02/2015 11:48

Thanks ginger Not tested again yet. Had 2 BFN's on cd 29 and 32 and then 'started' on cd 33. May try again, if nothing else just for my own satisfaction!

Frantasic · 09/02/2015 11:43

If you look really closely I'm sure you'll see it! Squint SQUINT! ;0)

2 week wait. anyone else impatient?
gingerbreadmam · 09/02/2015 11:36

put the flash on and take a pic like that then hold it up to window so light shines through and take a pic like that too. have to be thorough!

Frantasic · 09/02/2015 11:33

@mrg thanks... It was pretty a horrendous time... Felt like I was getting it from every direction.

@ginger I think there is a line. It an ic stylee one and the ones from the other day were boots ones. It's still a squinted though... I'll see if it comes up on a photo and you can tell me what you think... Brb

gingerbreadmam · 09/02/2015 10:05

thanks pissovski

that does sound a bit strange. have you done a test? i didnt have an implantation bleed this time but did last time. that one was pink blood but very light just like the start of my af. i think lasted about 3 days, expected af to kick in and it all just stopped. wasnt ttc then so never though of testing until about 8 days later when i got bfp.

pissovski · 09/02/2015 09:59

Congrats ginger

I am now totally confused Confused I usually have a very regular 28/29 day cycle, and am usually on for 5/6 days and only lessening flow at 4/5 day. This time I was 4 days late, but was convinced that I had come on properly (bright red gloopy blood, normal flow). However after 1.5 days it was almost nothing. Back on sort of normally the following morning, although a lot less on wiping and then tailing off to mainly brown blood and evening. Yesterday there was barely anything at all.

I was ill with a sinus bug, cd 19 - 27 ish so was taking paracetamol, and was wondering if that could account for changes. Has anyone else had that happen? I have the niggling 'implantation bleed' words in the back of my head, but surely it would be too late, and too heavy a 'period' for that

arrggghhhh!!!

gingerbreadmam · 09/02/2015 08:47

any news fran?

MillieMoodle · 09/02/2015 07:45

Cd35, still no AF. Haven't tested again as hardly got any IC's left. Will wait a couple of days to see of AF arrives I think.

MrsG23 · 08/02/2015 23:22

So.. thought AF was on its way - nope. nothing.
My AF usually starts straight away - no build up. I cramp and then I come on within the hour - its always been like that.

Also, for those who track temps - my temps have been hovering around 37.7 - my normal is 36.6.
Usually before AF they drop - but they arent - I am stuck at a low grade fever? SO strange.

Fran sounds like you had a terrible time with it! Fingers crossed for BFP tomorrow! Let us know! :)

Frantasic · 08/02/2015 20:53

@ginger... Got DD to look, she said she couldn't see a line but she wasn't wearing her glasses and said she struggles with out them. I'll test again in the morning.

gingerbreadmam · 08/02/2015 19:03

every mc is probs as bad as the other jus a crap position to be in. least were out the other side now!

im the same. so far my mam dad dp and best friend know. dp wont tell anyone and i understand that. kp thinking be lovely for everyone when we have scan pic to make the announcement and that is keeping me from blabbing.

get ur dd to check and report back what she thinks.

mrsg my periods do usualyy have a slow start a few days before af is due but not usually brown blood. wonder whats going on?

MillieMoodle · 08/02/2015 18:44

Oh Fran that sounds like you had an awful time. Fingers crossed it's good news now!

Frantasic · 08/02/2015 18:12

Thanks , and you too. Yours sounds awful. I was lucky that mine was all over with in one big hit. Which was just as well with several broken bones to contend with too.

That gives me a little hope... Mine defo involves holding it up to light and looking for ages. I haven't shown anyone each. After the MC I want as few people to know as poss. I might show my DD (she's 20) see if it's just me. Defo gonna test again tomorrow though.

MrsG23 · 08/02/2015 18:11

Day 35 now. My cycles have been roughly 35-38 days. I know I def ovulated because my ovary twinges and because of my ewcm...?

I'm on nights, been awake a few hours now.. Bright red spotting now. But only once when I wiped and hour ago and nothing now. Whereas, for the last 7 days it's been on and off brown... So maybe AF is on the way??

gingerbreadmam · 08/02/2015 18:02

just keep testing fran has anyone else had a look for you? mine on thursday really was one had to squint at for ages and hold up to the light etc. it was here tho as the digi confirmed today.

sorry to hear about your mc.

Frantasic · 08/02/2015 17:58

@millie... I really don't think you'd be able to see it on a photo. I could only just about see it in full day light.

@ginger... That's what happened with me a couple of years ago, initially I was suspicious that I was seeing things but the lines got darker and I used a DG which confirmed it. Sadly I had a MC following a nasty accident. Well I had the accident in my TWW and MC a week after the first BFP. It was due to the painkillers that A+E had given me even though I told them I thought I was pregnant. It increases your chances of mc by 80%.

I really think I might be seeing things this time.
