It's staying light longer and we are taking the opportunity to get well and truly upduffed, yes that's right, three BFPs in one day! That's the May bus for you.

Sounds fun! quite jealous! When's your testing day?

Uh lie ins are a thing of the past for me!! We will probably venture out to a farm or soft play I imagine but I don't have any plans as such which is usual for me. It's so weird tho, I love the weekends so much but I just want this one to be over so I will be closer to my testing day!

Hi carlton thank you, I hope they listen. I've already had to wait two cycles to get my bloods in since speaking to the Dr, as first cycle Id already missed my chance for the first one, and was told to try to do both in the same cycle. Then the following I was on holiday and couldn't get them done, it's just frustrating that everything takes so long.

I'm having a lazy weekend, had a hectic one last weekend so need a lie in! how about you?

Hey everyone! Hope you're all good!

Welcome back boris and dizzyn!

pog that doctor was not reassuring! All you can do is sit tight and keep positive. Plenty people have bleeding in early pregnancy don't they

southy I reckon if you explain it to the doctor when you go it will be fine. Just explain that you don't want to wait a whole month more for the bloods

Hopefully you have ov'd dizzy! Do you think you timed dtd well?

night only a couple more days to wait for you!! Any symptoms?!

Anyone got any good weekend plans?

merry I will be forceful on Monday then luckily I'm speaking with a Dr who I know is very sympathetic (I spoke to them after my mc and he was great) Hope you don't mind me asking but how low are your temps? Mine are low but I've been convincing myself I have a faulty thermometer ...

that's what mine was like! i wouldnt worry though and google is full of bad things and good i suppose if you google 'bleeding when period due early pregnancy ' i can't find anything that dosent seem like its not normal for this to happen

Thanks so much miss that is really reassuring. I wasn't going to call the Dr because it was so light and the day after af due, I was just there to book in for 8 week check up. I've got period type cramps which google tells me is pretty normal (and normally you can find at least four rare fatal causes for pretty much anything, right?)

pog if it reassures you i had a bleed when my af was due and it was red blood for a few hours followed by brown spotting.. i had a really bad pain and litrally i felt the blood shoot out of me it was horrible i just remained calm i didn't call my dr because it was at night time i just braced myself for the worst and luckly everything was fine then next day and so on. . and this was last wed .. i blame it on breakthrough bleeding.. when was ur af due??
i hope you okay it is very scary xx

Southy insist on another blood test and hopefully you won't be refused. There's no point waiting another month and the blood tests you've had done won't be accurate if they don't tie in with your cycle days. I'm in limbo really as I don't know whether I have ovulated or not but FF thinks I have. Either way my temps are really low so need to get that sorted.

Nice to see you boris and dizzyn glad you are still about :) although the hoping your journeys won't be much longer.

I had my day 21 bloods today, I voiced my concerns to the nurse about normally having a longer cycle and that I'm convinced my day 21 needs to in fact be tues next week, she told me to sneakily book another blood test and convince the Dr on the phone on Monday to give me another blood test form...
So so hoping they listen as I don't want to have to wait another month to do this again!

Still no clue as to whether I've OV yet, my Rocky Mountain range is still very rocky :-/ and I think I've had Ewcm but not sure. I'm going to blame my temping issues on the thermometer of course.

pog I hope everything's ok, some Drs aren't very tatcful with how they say things are they, but I know at least two people who have had early spotting and went on to have healthy pregnancies so try to relax as much as possible (know that's easy to say) x

Have you tested at all august?

How are you doing merry? Hope you're ok

auto I hope so- a bit more today but only on the tissue and v light brown. Mushroom mist would be the dulux name for what I'm seeing.

Just had my GP apt and he scared the hell out of me. Despite the NHS website listing this kind of thing as common in the first few sentences, he told me to prepare myself that miscarriage was v. Common if there was fresh red bleeding, and then gave me details about the epu just in case. Mostly it was his demeanour 'women oftn find this upsetting' No shit, pal!

I know this is common and 'm not counting my chickens just yet, but I feel like I went in describing a strained ankle and he casually mentioned amputation...

Good to see you and so pleased you'll be jumping aboard properly.

Hahah dizzy
maniacally waves back
checks pants again, just in case

Good to know oh silently lurking one. As long as you are ok :)

waves at dizzym & autonomousaugust

boris I'm here! shhhhh! I'm lurking!

I'm good thanks, I'm 'taking time out' from posting for a while but still keeping an eye on what's going on in the meantime

Hope you're doing well . I plan on jumping back on board properly once I hit the tww after the weekend

lurks back into the shadows

Yes xf dizzy checks pants nervously, again

wish if you can afford to double up I would. If you iced in cd18 and your cycles are quite regular I would start like dizzy said on cd14. Try around 2pm. As soon as the line is getting darkish I would go twice a day as you can sometimes miss the surge as some people show very short surges. I would do 11am/12pm and then again at around 7pm. I've had near-positives and then positives within the 12hr period and then it already lowered by the next 12 hours. If I tested in 24hr slots I would have missed the surge and presumed that I was still waiting while it had actually already come and gone. Of course you'll usually only ov 12-48 hours (usually 18-36hrs) after the surge anyway, so it is salvageable, but I think it is great feeling sure you caught it at its peak.

Morning all. Sorry for not posting for ages. I've been hanging out more on the bumsnet thread. Came over here to see what news there is.

dizzyN wherefore art thou? You ok?

My stats are wrong, sorry if I forgot to update

Stats

Hairstylisttoboris, 37 ttc 1, cycle stopped counting, BFP due 9th June

Off to catch up, lovely to see so many new names :)

Congrats again pog.

Aug It does seem like it is doing something and hopefully it is working on sorting the issue out.

Wish I would start at day 14 if you ovulate so late.

FF thinks I ov on cd11 but I'm not convinced at all.

Do any if you use opk? I have a pack of 5 from the pound shop to try this month for the first time... When should I start using them? I ov'd in cd18 last cycle and today is cd12. Should I wait until cd14? I've also read on my pack not to use fmu as it tell me to use midday / afternoon urine... DH is away until Sunday. I'm hoping I hold out my OV until after he is back. Then we have 5 days to dtd everyday until I go on my girls holiday! Eek!!!!

pog could your spotting be delayed implantation bleeding?

dizzy yes. Progesterone.
Xpost here cos I is lazy innit.
AF is being weird. More than spotting but pinky watery on wiping or brown bits on a light pad. I'm wondering if the progesterone I'm taking for the short lp is somehow working at keeping things a bit more intact? I am in no way considering if this would be intact enough to support an embryo. Not at all. Thought hadn't even crossed my mind. This is my first month on it and AF came same time as last cycle yesterday so I'm pretty sure it is AF proper. but because it hasn't come on full yet I'm hoping that the prog is working a bit?

i just say 6 though
