Thanks @pickledsausage Nah don't usually spot @Flossylolly85 and it's not coming to anything only had 3 AF since I came off the implant and they have came on fast and heavy with really bad cramps. This morning I had cramps had spotting then all went away.
@Busymee hopefully it doesn't come to anything how come it's been 8 years ?

Busymee · 14/04/2017 19:37

Not my month either by the looks of it,I'm spotting too Sad it's my first AF for 8 years ! If it is that ??

pickledsausage · 14/04/2017 17:31

@mumma what a mare, you poor thing. I hope this one goes away by itself soon!

@KR sorry to hear that, everything xd for next month!

Flossylolly85 · 14/04/2017 17:24

Ahh man @KR24 do you usually spot? x

Flossylolly85 · 14/04/2017 17:21

Haha @KR24 I know, it's ironic isn't it?! I'm just as bad and all expect for it to 'just happen'. I have friends who literally have got pregnant first or second time of trying, just have to stay positive x

KR24 · 14/04/2017 17:15

Well think that's AF rearing her ugly head just nipped to the loo and got some spotting so should be coming full on soon, then restart the process for another month !

@mumma no way!!! How frustrating. I only had mine removed December, hope it stays away! How did you know it had come back?

KR24 · 14/04/2017 14:10

@Flossylolly85 no kids of my own yet, worked with kids for 8 years though lol and only got implant removed in January still early days but since a teenager always focus that much on trying not to get pregnant lol so genuinely didn't think it would take much trying, how naive was I ! Lol

@KR24 I already have a 6 year old daughter from a previous relationship, that took nearly two years but I didn't chart or use opk etc. My husband and I have been trying since last year. How about you x

pickledsausage · 14/04/2017 11:56

@mumma yeah I don't think they'd be able to see anything that early on. I had an ovarian cyst too, had it removed a few months ago!

I think 10dpo is ok. I'm testing Monday as I'm on steroids to prevent miscarriage and the doctor says to take them for 10 days from ovulation and then test on the 11th day to see whether you continue the medication or not. So if he says it's ok I reckon it must be!

@oyster that's really good advice, thank you

@pickledsausage going to try hold out till next Friday as will be 12dpo or if I can stay strong enough hold out till af arrives or dosent don't think I could handle a bnf to be honest... I have an internal scan on the 19th as I have an ovary cyst there keeping an eye on but I think it would be too soon for even them to tell? I'd be 10dpo what do you guys think?xx

How long have you been trying @Flossylolly85? And is this your first time ?

Flossylolly85 · 14/04/2017 11:06

@ER24 I'm thinking exactly the same as you, there was no hint of a line of mine (no matter how much I squinted!). Hoping to be strong and wait it out too, easier said than done for me though x

I did a lot of reading and googling during the various twws when trying for DD. Now I basically ignore any symptoms during the first 7-9 days. During this time the progesterone and oestrogen levels are rising and cause many of the symptoms associated with pregnancy. Then at about 7 days onwards either implantation happens and the hormones continue to rise or it doesn't and they gradually start to reduce until they are low enough for AF to happen.

I started to just know i wasn't pregnant as the symptoms I'd been obsessing about faded away each month in the second half of the tww. The month I conceived DD my boobs were still very sore at 12DPO and I knew I was on to something.

So my tip for trying to make the tww shorter, ignore the first week because symptoms are not caused by pregnancy hormones.

Of course all bodies are different and like to mess with us :)

pickledsausage · 14/04/2017 11:02

When will you be testing mumma and hot?

Hotpinkangel19 · 14/04/2017 10:54

@Flossylolly85 I feel the same don't want to keep testing as I used the ultra sensitive ones so if I was pregnant then I think I would have at least got a faint line. Think I will just wait it out, let me know if you do anymore tests :)

Flossylolly85 · 14/04/2017 10:14

@KR24 but the fact af still hasn't showed is positive! It's so annoying when you don't get either because you still feel in limbo. Still no af for me either may test again Sunday or Monday if still nothing? Feel like I'm just torturing myself though as really don't think I am? x

Lee1977 · 14/04/2017 09:40

@ERog84 congrats xx

KR24 · 14/04/2017 09:21

Think I'm out this month as well, BFN today and no AF Hmm

ERog84 · 14/04/2017 09:10

It's all good 😊😊😊

Congrats to all the BFPs!!

I'm 6 dpo and the madness is setting in, I've been very zen up until now and now feeling impatient and symptom spotting like a crazy person. Sore boobs & increased discharge (soz tmi)....but maybe that's every month and I just don't notice as am too busy trying to just get on with things.

It's coming up a year since my last mc as well so that is playing on my mind that it's been so long since anything has happened.
