Saw a thread today from September testers, is there anything for oct yet? Just joined the TTC crew for baby #1 ☺️

Si1ver how frustrating. A little blood when your period would've come isn't unusual I don't think and it's a good sign it has stopped.

Sorry your doctor won't help. It seems so insensitive but there's nothing they can do either way, and unless there's risk of ectopic there's no danger. It's cruel but not uncommon. This bit is so tough.

I was due to ovulate yesterday but there's been little sign. Normally have EWCM but not so much. My mood has definitely moved over into pmt from superwoman though so assume we've done our bit this month. AF due on the 20th. 2ww here I come ...

Still no AF, was due Monday/tue and 4 BFN tests since then! Dh telling me it's a reaction to coming off pill and jut to accept I'm late but not pregnant. Starting to think he is right Sad

So I’m due on today, usually come on overnight but nothing. Taken a test this morning and bfn 😔

14dpo and tested this afternoon. BFNSadNo sign of af arriving( normally cramps and spotting a day or so beforehand and due yesterday) I have one more test. Is it worth testing again with FMU? I hadn't drunk much by the time I tested today so don't know if that affected the test. It was a Tesco one.

I'm on CD40 today. Going to hold off testing until Sunday morning, though, as my cycle can be anywhere between 37 and 43 days :-( This is ttc month 15.

EverythingNow · 05/10/2017 20:01

Keeping everything crossed for you Si1ver

I’m out, spotting when I wiped today, 12dpo, which seems to be my usual pattern. A few drops for a few days then wake up to AF.

Good luck to everyone else xx

DaenerysismyQueen · 05/10/2017 14:07

Si1ver brown is a sign of old blood I think.

Wants · 05/10/2017 12:34

I've caved and bought a test. Don't know whether to test now or wait until morning😐

Si1ver · 05/10/2017 12:29

And my request for HCG tests has been refused because apparently the PCT only uses them to diagnose etopic pregnancies sigh

Doctor's advice is to wait and see and if I'm still producing positive tests at six weeks she'll refer me to EPU for an early scan. Oh and by the way, stop testing it won't help. FFS.

Still, it'll be four weeks tomorrow. So only two weeks to wait to see what happens, not panic, not test while still producing a positive test.

Si1ver · 05/10/2017 10:34

Thanks for all the kind thoughts. The bleeding stopped last night, today there's some ongoing spotting (dark brown, sorry if that's tmi) and a positive test again this morning.

So I have no idea. I'm waiting for my doctor to call me back and I'm going to ask for some HCG blood tests on two separate days to see what's happening. This waiting is really fucking hard.

VJONES1985 · 05/10/2017 06:12

Huge dip in my BBT this morning. Guess that means I'm out?

BriechonCheese · 05/10/2017 01:18

My mistake, meant to say Friday morning.

BriechonCheese · 05/10/2017 00:28

Can I join in?
Testing Thursday morning.
Usually have cramps for the 3-4 days before my period but nothing yet. Had terrible cramps across my back and thighs (that's where my pre-menstural cramps usually manifest) about 3dpo though.
Have been very nauseous and thought perhaps DD had brought home a virus from nursery but not sure.

Sorry to hear your news @Si1ver Flowers

peachesarenom · 04/10/2017 23:01

OMG Si1ver mate! I hope you're ok!

PumpkinPatch000 · 04/10/2017 20:00

So so sorry to hear that @si1ver Sad

EverythingNow · 04/10/2017 19:51

Si1ver I’m so so sorry x

intelligentPutty · 04/10/2017 18:59

AnythingNotEverything · 04/10/2017 18:11

Oh si1ver, I'm sorry. That's so cruel. Big hugs.

Wants · 04/10/2017 14:38

Sorry to hear that Si1verSadBrewCakevirtual hugs and cake coming your way. Xx

Si1ver · 04/10/2017 13:44

Well it may be that this was chemical after all as I've started bleeding. Not particularly heavily, but that's usual how my period start, and I feel all weird, cramps and aches around my pelvis.

I am unbelievably distraught.

ash1987 · 04/10/2017 13:29

Today the struggle is real for me...my symptom spotting is in overdrive!!! really strangely I am quite short for breath, tight chest... I anxious perhaps as feeling very hot also.. feeling very tired!! so very randomly I also feel like I smell???.. not horrific or bad and I cant describe the actual smell... going mad

VJONES1985 · 04/10/2017 12:26

The cramps didn't last long but I've now got backache, I'm exhausted and feel sooo queasy. Am struggling with my lunch and I can smell the school dinners at work (I'm a teacher) but the smell is really strong and making me want to be sick. Oh, the joys. Horrible taste in mouth today too.

I normally have cramping a day to day and half before AF pretty much a dead certain that I will come on the following day from having the cramps and churny stomach.
I am pretty regular to within a day or 2 which is why I say 1-2 days late. Trying to stay realistic as a day late is nothing but my mind is all over the place! Telling myself no chance on our first attempt will we succeed!

Negative test this morning. Due on Friday morning.
Been feeling sick and dizzy. Loads cramps today 😔
Think I'm out this month

VJONES1985 · 04/10/2017 08:32

@ash1987 Yes, normal a this stage although I have had cramps since ovulation this month, which isn't normal so I don't know what to think
