March bus!

Hello! I'm hopping on this bus after a few months off! Sorry if some of you are on multiple threads and are seeing the same info from me! Haha.
I'm trying to be a bit more laid back and not chart but I think according to my CM, my cycle this month has followed its usual pattern.

TTC1 cycle 4 CD17 4DPO
AF due 19/3

I was due AF today, had a tiny bit of pinkish when I wiped earlier this afternoon so popped in a tampon as I was going out. Just when to change it and there was a very small amount of dark brown blood, not at all like a normal period. Could this be implantation bleed? I'm very confused.

@Wishful30 such a good way of looking at it! Fingers crossed you get some answers or maybe some good news this month :)

Thanks @pugmama7
It's ok, I look at it as a good sign that I can conceive...
my gut tells me my uterus is the issue, I've had a couple of tests done but now waiting for a camera to have a good look.
Still trying, you never know 🤷🏻‍♀️🤞🏻

@Wishful30 ah I'm sorry you've had losses 😞😞 no one should have to go through that! Are you trying this month still? I love acupuncture I have it for migraines it's literally amazing. I've also heard reflexology can help? And yoga. But that's not everyone's cup of tea. Xx

@pugmama7 blood flow definitely! So I'm taking everything herbal I've read about 😂
Hot water bottle on my tummy as much as I can, half hour in the evening. I've been out the last 2 nights so was back too late to be bothered!

I had acupuncture for a few months last year, and that deffo helped as that's the longest I've been pregnant, but I just can't afford it at the moment 😔

@Wishful30 what's involved in trying to thicken it? I guess good blood circulation so cold feet is not helping! I wish I could swap with you my feet are sweating they're so hot for no reason at all! Xx

@pugmama7 don't worry about other people. Everyone's journey is different, and just as difficult it it's own right.
I'm currently obsessed with trying to thicken my lining but cannot fir the life of me keep my feet warm 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Wishful30 since July last year :( I tend to get my hopes up and then feel like such a failure when I get a bfn. I'm so desperate to start a family but I know other people have been trying longer and had a much harder time than we have.

@pugmama7 how long have you been ttc for?
Keeping everything crossed for you! 😀

@Wishful30 thank you so much! I've just ordered a pack on amazon! I'm really hopeful and DH is insistent that it's worked this month but I'm still nervous of it turning out to be nothing. Hope you're month is going well xx

@pugmama7 well that all sounds super positive!! The saliva in the mouth thing is apparently one of the early symptoms that you don't get with impending af!!
I'd get a frer test as you can test 6 days before your period is due. Get a double pack! I've had a bfp with them early a few times!!
🤞🏻 and good luck x

Hi ladies, I’m a little late to the party but I hope you don’t mind me joining?

CD21

I use the Flo app which has been pretty spot on for me the entire time for when af is due etc, was using the 1 step opks and never showed up (it’s hard to test all the time with my job) decided to use the cb opks and never got past a flashing smiley face this month. I know I for sure ovulated because of EWCM and I always get an ovulation pain in one side. Anyways we dtd literally every other day for 10 days around ov to get the best shot and now all I’m doing is symptom spotting 🤪🤪 I’m driving myself insane here. So I’m 7dpo with swollen breasts and really veiny, milky cm which I don’t normally get, nauseous, lightheaded, feel like I’m short of breath, and have the most annoying thing with having way too much saliva in my mouth. I’m waking up in the night to pee, and I cried at crufts the other day because a dog looked cute 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ Please tell me I’m not losing the plot. I’m trying to resist testing because I know it’s too soon and it’ll be bfn but when do you think I should start testing?! Please help!

Baby dust to everyone hoping for a bfp this month!

Stepping aboard the bus.

Ttc #2
Cycle 4 following a mmc last October
41, nearly 42 and honestly don't think it's going to happen.

Going to try for a couple more months then give up completely 💕

@CoachBombay deffo a little light line there! Give it a couple of days and re test. I really hope it gets darker for you!! 🤞🏻
The first response early response tests are really good if you can get your hands on one of those.

In the meantime, I'm eating shit like af is due week, but I'm 10 days away from af 😂
Maybe it's just the stress, maybe it's the weather 🤷🏻‍♀️

I can see it too @CoachBombay
Fingers, toes and everything else crossed for you ... except my legs as I'm 13DPO today and another BFN and no symptoms at all so I'm out again this month. @SunnyL88 I feel ur pain, sex is the biggest chore ever!
We'll be entering into cycle 26 of trying 😫😫😫

@CoachBombay I can see it. Fingers crossed for you!!!

I am 2 days from the fertile window and starting to feel it. Tender boobs and left side cramping. Blahhhh so fed up of sex but needs must 😂

Reading up on evaps...you can't have an evap till the urine has evaporated which makes sense so the fact it is there when wet could be promising.

I don't even need to squint to see that! It looks to have colour from the pic? I hope it's your 🤞🤞

So here is this morning's offering 😂 who doesn't love a is it a line game haha. So these are coming up whilst the test is still wet and within the 10minute mark.

So I should be about 14dpo, now that's very faint for 14dpo unless I'm completely out and it's far earlier 🤷 I don't actually know when I ovulated a scan only said I may have or am about to when I had the OHSS issue.

I'm going to have to re-test in a few days and I'll use the dreaded FRER , I usually prefer clear blue, always have but I'll change to pink duy next weekend if no AF.

@CoachBombay what the devil is going on!? I think a different brand of test may be needed? Xx

Well this morning turned out to be a bit of a waste of a test 😂 I can either see the faintest of lines coming or managed to get an evap within the time limit...

Yesterday's has now dried out, and there is a faint blue line clearly visible, but the thin blue line was visability when the test strip was still saturated.

I've no idea what to make of it all, going to leave it a few days, see of AF arrives this week and of not test again next weekend. 🤷

Thank you ladies xxx

@Wishful30 I really hope you get your miracle this cycle🤞🤞

Being the crazy that I am.... this evening just sat there and felt this really random pulsating feeling in my womb area...! More than likely wind 😂😂

@CoachBombay test in the morning and bloody follow the instructions lady! Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞

Best of luck when testing in the morning @CoachBombay I hope you get your BFP 😊 X

Oh bloody hell I've only gone and done the one thing your not supposed to do, which is look at a test after ten minutes and there is a thin blue line. Also realised the test takes up to 10minutes and I only allowed 2 before bining it 😂

I'll try with fmu in the morning of I remember lol as I had 2 in the box. Evaps on clear blue tests are a huge problem though so I'm not holding my breath.
