Destination conception ... route PMA.

Hi,
Ttc#3
Cycle 5
2x CP's in the last 3 months.
Currently having my second cp. Stupidly tested a week early and got BFP, but watched in horror as subsequent tests got fainter and fainter until bfn this morning followed by signs of AF.
Sooo, next BFP is due approx 28th feb but could possible be beginning of March.
What a journey this ttc lark is?

Thanks for the encouragement, Baking! I won't give up just yet then I think the extent of our day will be going to soft play so that should keep me occupied!
Our bodies certainly do like to keep us guessing! CD42! Hope your cycles even out soon, does make it such a guessing game when there is no consistency.
Do you have some nice plans for today?

Sweetcheeks I had the same thing happen to me last month on around CD20. I was convinced it was implantation spotting. I don't know what it was in the end but it was my body playing tricks on me. BUT it could be implantation bleeding (FX that it is!!!). What CD are you on and do you have any other symptoms?

Baking were your cycles as long before you had DC?

I am being incredibly ridiculous and day dreaming about being able to dress DC up in Halloween costumes and pushing a pram around in the autumnal leaves with a coffee. Oh dear I have lost the plot!!!!

Morning Sweetcheeks! It's awful when things are up in the air, but sounds like there is still a chance for you. I had a pink implantation bleed with DS, so it is possible that the blood you've seen could be from implantation. Confusing for you if you've got a BFN, but read on here about people who've taken several days after period due to get BFP, so fingers crossed that's what's going on here! Not easy when you don't have regular cycles back, wondering how long this one will be, currently CD42. Our bodies like to keep us guessing :)

Have you anything nice planned for today to take your mind off it?

Morning all! Feeling confused and impatient Sorry in advance for TMI....Yesterday evening I noticed a small amount of bleeding - I'd had one of those hectic days where you keep putting off going to the loo cos you've got no time! So it wasn't until quite late that I noticed and by then the blood was quite dark (sorry!) but wasn't sure if it was always that colour or if it had just darkened over time?! I had the tiniest spark of hope that it was implantation bleeding but then when I wiped, there was a streak of pinkish blood. So then I dismissed the idea of implantation bleeding as the blood looked too light. Woke up this morning expecting there to be normal AF - but nothing! Got a little too excited as I never usually have a delay between spotting and full blown AF - so I tested, but got a BFN I guess I just need to wait a little longer - my cycles as still adjusting; for last two months, they've been 29 days so still time for AF to show up, plus they've been known to last as long as 36 days.... it is going to be a slow painful wait....! I need to channel some positivity!!

Fingers crossed for you Sweetcheeks!

No wonder you need your sleep Salem!

In fairness we've never done any kind of sleep training with DS, just figured he'd sleep through when ready. If you do need more sleep there are potentially various ways you can get them to sleep longer though and if your OH helps at night that can give you some extra shut eye. DS won't settle for DH, but know plenty of people whose little ones will.

Wowzers Salem, that's a busy old week!
I made the mistake of pondering that myself last month....but you never know! Will update tomorrow

I love jellyfish Baking!! I wonder if they have all these TTC concerns?! Lack of sleep is one thing that I worry about. I work a 50+ hour week so need lots of zzzzzs. You are right though, uou expect it in the tiny stage.

Oh no Sweetcheeks sending . My FX for you that it's implantation spotting?

Woo hoo, Hippy! Glad OH is up for some action. Hopefully tonight is the night! Perhaps he really is on board as much as you are re TTC but is reluctant to show it? My DH was like this- even when I got my BFP, he barely showed any excitement or enthusiasm, which used to really upset me. But then I realised he was just scared and worried about getting too attached in case anything were to go wrong.
Hope tonight is your lucky night too, Salem!
Aww how lovely Baking. We've not taken DS to an aquarium yet but can't wait to see his wee face when we eventually do
I think that's me out for this month too ; will know for sure in the morning.
Good luck to the rest of you ladies!!

Glittery hope February is your lucky month!

Fingers crossed you get to dtd with your OH as planned Hippychic and Salem.

Took DS to an aquarium for the first time today. He lost interest after a bit, but was mesmerised by the jellyfish :)

Think it's easy for sleepless nights to get to you after a while. You expect that you won't get much sleep for the first few months, but when that's still the case one or two years in, you do complain a bit. Though I find I talk about it only with other parents in the same boat. Keeping active, getting out in the fresh air, eating well and keeping busy all help me to stay positive when not getting much sleep. Sure they're all good for ttc too :)

Nice quote Salem!
[And sorry for AF, Glittery - I missed that post somehow] xx

Also I have just stumbled on this quote that I love!

Woohoo, loving the smiley Hippy! It's very exciting to see, I almost compared it to what a BFP would feel like?!

Sorry to hear that Glittery but now you have a new chance to get a BFP. Maybe you can do some things you couldn't if you were upduffed?

So today is the weekend :) I can feel some Ov cramps which is good. We DTD Thursday, Friday and hopefully today so fx for that BFP. Temping hasn't really done much for me: my chart looks like the Himalayas!

Also here is my contribution for today xx

I know what you mean, Hippy. I am probably guilty of appearing complacent at times, but I do try to remember that I am very fortunate and should appreciate every moment with my little one, good or bad. Hope you enjoy your weekend with the inlaws and hope your luck may be in for double sexy times!!

looks like im out for this month so role on feb :)

Thanks Salem, like Sweetcheeks I can't complain too much. In fairness he now only wakes once or twice a night, far better than the two hourly wakes until a couple of months ago, and I don't go out to work either, so could be much worse. Hopefully you'll have the same problem (or a little one that sleeps) very soon :)
