@Blueowlstar based on OAP sticks I ovulated a few days late in my cycle. Today I'm about 13 days DPO. I didn't have any implantation bleeding with my first pregnancy, I was googling flat out with hope that it was implantation and not related to me still breastfeeding and irregular periods. Baby dust to you! Is Af due tomorrow for you?

Blueowlstar · 22/01/2019 19:13

@Mcstark7 wow! Today is an amazing day on this thread lots of BFP’s! So happy for you! Congratulations!
Thank you so much for the encouragement! And yours sounds spot on what I have had too! Can I ask how many dpo are you today?

Mcstark7 · 22/01/2019 19:07

@Blueowlstar I had the same symptoms as you, 4 days before af was due I had light pink spotting & brown discharge - both very little and lasted 2 days so I figured implantation bleeding. I did a test 2 days before af was due and bfn, really disheartening. The cramps are still there and yesterday (af due) I had a bit of spotting again. Today I got a BFP! Be patient and fingers crossed it's a good sign Xx

Mcstark7 · 22/01/2019 19:03

Looks like it's been a good day today 🙊

This is baby # 2 and this time round I think I feel a bit more uneasy and nervous even though I had a really smooth 1st pregnancy 🙈

@HMIB how often where you bf when you had your chemical miscarriages? I only feed once a day and would love to continue (if I can stick the pain 😬) but always worried the impact of bf on pregnancy!!

@naughtysausage have you been having any symptoms? I am in exactly the same boat as you, due tomorrow or around then but I can’t understand why I had cramping and light pink spotting on Sat eve/all day Sunday and Then Monday and all day today so far nothing at all?! I did a test first thing this morning because I was so impatient and it was bfn. So if I had spotting on Sunday and let’s say it was IB then when would it show up on a test? I used a FRER! and now I’ve run out of tests which is a good thing I suppose. I will buy another for Friday morning if I haven’t seen AF by then x

Naughtysausage · 22/01/2019 15:22

@Blueowlstar that all sounds really promising. So fx for you!

I'm still waiting for AF. I'm not testing because I decided I'd rather wait until AF arrived or was late. But, I'm not thinking about much else!

Naughtysausage · 22/01/2019 14:25

@Peaky1 yay! Congratulations!

Blueowlstar · 22/01/2019 12:56

Congratulations to @tiddley25 and @peaky1 so happy for you both :)

Peaky1 · 22/01/2019 12:29

Aw thanks @Tiddley25 . You too!! I'm 10dpo so early days

Tiddley25 · 22/01/2019 11:50

@naughtysausage thank you! Just keeping everything crossed now!

@peaky1 congratulations!! How many dpo are you?? Xx

Peaky1 · 22/01/2019 11:46

Adding some good luck to the thread! 😁

@Tiddley25 congrats! That's such a lovely clear line!

Tiddley25 · 22/01/2019 10:28

Hi girls! Just a quick update! So I couldn’t resist and yesterday did an internet cheaply at 8dpo, well I couldn’t believe it when the faintest line appeared 😆 my other half could barely see it! So I bought a first response for this morning at 9dpo and the line is definitely there! Everything crossed now that it’s a sticky one and trying to not get too excited until my period doesn’t show on Sunday! Xxx

@HMIB thanks for replying. I started to wean my DS in November, with plans to completely stop by Christmas to TTC. However my DS and teething bad different plans and we ended up increasing to feeding during the night as comfort. I do find it sort to feed, but I do think that's possibly because lack of supply and all of a sudden increase in bf. I'm holding out another few days as I'm too afraid of a negative result 😢 I did OAP during the month and know I did ovulate so 🤞🏻

HMIB · 22/01/2019 06:51

@Mcstark7 Hey! I was also breastfeeding and I got my period back on the 9th! I've since stopped now which has totally broken me as I don't think either of us were quite ready DS Is 15 months old now and he liked to feed all through the night. But in away I needed things to change as lack of sleep wasn't great!

When I wasTTC DS3 I was still breastfeeding DS2 and my cycles were irregular and unfortunately for me I kept on having chemical pregnancies. So when I stopped completely I fell pregnant straight away and it was sticky! So this Is why I've stopped all together feeding DS4 I'm still waiting on ovulation over here! But you should definitely test!! But one of the main signs is it becomes quite painful to feed when early pregnant!! 😊. X

Blueowlstar · 21/01/2019 22:50

Evening! @naughtysausage well it’s been so weird! I had light pink spotting late on Saturday evening and all day Sunday with light aches and cramping and I was sure AF was coming but then nothing today!? Cramps have also disappeared? I am also due on Wednesday if I am correct that I have a 28 day cycle. I thought I was out but now I’m holding onto hope again!

Naughtysausage · 21/01/2019 22:43

I'm still waiting out AF here so I haven't tested. It hasn't arrived yet though, due Wednesday really if it sticks to my average cycle length. How are you getting on @Blueowlstar?

Naughtysausage · 21/01/2019 22:33

@Mcstark7 no such thing as tmi! I think the only way to be sure is to pee on a stick. Good luck!

Mcstark7 · 21/01/2019 19:50

Hi I'm new to this group.

A little bit about myself- I have a 1year old baby who i still breastfeed once a day. I got my first period over Christmas, second one due today and still no sign.

4 days ago I had a bit of spotting (pink) and brown tinge discharge (sorry tmi). Today I had a bit of red spotting and cramps. Do you think this is my period starting to come? 😭 I can't judge my other symptoms as I still bf (I've sore boobs) and haven't had a period in so long I forget what my normal pms symptoms are

aj90x · 21/01/2019 09:41

@blueowlstar I haven’t but I think I’m going to get one today. Told my partner I wouldn’t buy anymore as I’ve loads of cheapies at home but what you say and what you want to do are to different things, right? Lol

@HMIB I’m aiming to test Wednesday, however that’s if I can hold out that long. Will keep you updated though :)

@Naughtysausage thank you, I feel a lot more positive knowing I don’t have to have symptoms, fingers crossed that line gets darker!

Naughtysausage · 21/01/2019 09:32

@aj90x that looks so promising! And I'm another one where it took several weeks to notice symptoms last time.

HMIB · 21/01/2019 09:20

@aj90x that's definitely a positive no doubting that!! Leave it a day or so and test again and you should have a lovely strong line!! 😊

Blueowlstar · 21/01/2019 07:45

@aj90x I can definitely see both the lines as well. Have you got a first response that you can test with? I didn’t have any symptoms with either of my two until about 2 weeks after my af was due.

aj90x · 21/01/2019 07:18

Morning! Little update for you, had some cheapies laying around so tried last night (top) and again this morning. I’m still sure I can see a line, however I have no symptoms what so ever and my temp has slightly dropped this morn. Will test again in a couple of days which is after af is due x

Naughtysausage · 20/01/2019 18:20

@Blueowlstar I've got some lovely big under the skin lurker spots brewing and the random rage/sadness that come a day or two before AF. So I think it'll arrive bang on time.
When I came off the pill I was suddenly totally bemused by what all this weird monthly variation was. I hadn't had pmt or ovulated in so long I wasn't used to the highs or lows at all.

TBF your symptoms could be implantation, but to stop you getting your hopes up, I'll just be optimistic/excited for you!
