When did you come off the pill Chloe? It’s possible you’re having a withdrawal bleed if you’ve not had a proper period yet, and it may not follow the timings you’re used to. It can take a while for proper periods to happen whilst your body gets used to the idea of ovulating - but ignore me if you’ve had a post-pill withdrawal bleed already!

ChloePD · 24/03/2019 20:06

@Laurenmclovely I haven't got any tests, I deffo don't want to test before Friday, I'm really apprehensive with having just come off the pill, I feel like I don't know my body at all and that it could be anything!

Thanks for being so positive and encouraging, it really helps when I can't help but feel let down at the sight of blood!

Laurenmclovely · 24/03/2019 19:50

Chloe I really think you're pregnant! Can you test?

ChloePD · 24/03/2019 19:44

@Laurenmclovely I'm hoping so! It's still just as light, very intermittent and if it was AF I would be full on bleeding by now! I'm also crampy, mild though.
I also haven't stopped weeing all day and my OPKS are getting darker; they were completely blank after ovulation and this morning the line came back and this evening it's even darker 🥺🥺🥺

mrsawhite · 24/03/2019 18:50

@ducksandacorns my Ovia app did this last week. Very annoying! Tried to dtd everyday so hopefully haven't missed it whenever it was!

Kiskacsa · 24/03/2019 18:45

Ooo, busy day on the thread, hello to newbies :-)

Don’t worry about not having a BFP the day you’re due. Not everyone does and it depends on the mlu of the test you’re using. Can take a while for the hormone to build up enough in your urine. Also remember that fmu is not best for everyone - when I got my brief lines last month, I had a much stronger one in the afternoon than I did with FMU about 18 hours later.

mrsawhite · 24/03/2019 14:44

@Hopefulprincess hardly anything today so all good! Now for the long TWW!

ducksandacorns · 24/03/2019 11:11

@pomegranat3 Keeping positive for you!

I've just gone into my Ovia app settings and I had made a mistake with the length my period lasts. So it's now recalculated and AF now due to appear on Thursday.

Annoyed at myself - the app has recalculated everything and I'm pretty sure we will be out this month now as we're planning around incorrect fertility window!

Will use OPKs next month.

pomegranat3 · 24/03/2019 10:41

@ducksandacorns my af is also due today, didn't test today as already tested bfn 2 days ago, drop in temp this morning though 😔

Cannyhandleit · 24/03/2019 09:48

Hi everyone,
Sorry to jump in but everyone seems to be at similar stage here!!

chloe that’s not fresh blood so don’t panic yet!

So I am roughly 3 dpo (according to Flo) of cycle 5 although only cycle 2 using OPKS.
I have 2dc already (4&2) and 2 mcs before kids, I got pregnant everytime without even thinking first cycle so this is a strange situation for me! I haven’t been able to do bbt as I have very disturbed sleep with dcs most nights and I have been useless at doing opks regularly!
I am 36 now and worrying age is affecting my fertility or maybe I am just over thinking things and the stress isn’t helping!

MrsM18 · 24/03/2019 09:45

@ChloePD I have no experience with implantation bleeding with my daughter, but timeframe wise definitely seems like it could be? Not sure how heavy it usually is. Have you got cramps?

Laurenmclovely · 24/03/2019 09:30

@chloe that looks exactly like my implantation bleeding! Had it for over a week

ChloePD · 24/03/2019 09:16

I have no clue as I only came off the pill 2nd Feb. But I ovulated in Feb and then had my first period 13 days later so fairly normal, this month I'm only 6DPO which would mean a very very short luteal phase!

It's dark red/almost brown and seems to be coming and going, very little when I wipe but occasionally a fair amount in pad! also cramping!

Sorry for the pic, I know it's not great on a Sunday morning! 😢
My BBT temp is also on the low side (36.45 this morning) but I have very interrupted sleep with a new puppy. I am also shattered, I was Asleep last night at 7:45 and 8:15 the night before, again could just be that I'm getting up once or twice at night for puppy and I've worked everyday this week, but that's not particularly unusual, nor is puppy as we've had her a month!

Laurenmclovely · 24/03/2019 09:15

@mrsm this is a relatively new thing for me, my first pregnancy I literally ended up in hospital before I figured out I was pregnant thats why it still freaks me out

MrsM18 · 24/03/2019 09:08

@Laurenmclovely sounds like you know your body well though which is a bonus! If it was a pregnancy symptom that would be just lovely, as the pain at time was unbearable  so hard not to symptom spot though isn't it!

@ChloePD Are you usually fairly regular with AF? X

Laurenmclovely · 24/03/2019 09:00

@chloe what is the bleeding like? @mrsm it could be early pregnancy symptoms a lot of ladies get crippling wind. @ducksandacorns hello!

ducksandacorns · 24/03/2019 08:55

Hello hope it's ok if I join!

AF due today, BFN on internet cheapie this morning. Sigh.

ChloePD · 24/03/2019 08:54

But it's not the lightest of bleeding!

ChloePD · 24/03/2019 08:53

@MrsM18 I'm due a week today

Laurenmclovely · 24/03/2019 08:49

This cycle I am 5dpo but haven't BD'd this cycle. BD'd in my last fertile window in February. Had a relatively light period. But I've had all the usual discharge and what not this month

MrsM18 · 24/03/2019 08:46

Ps I forgot to write what I came on here to write Grin I mentioned yesterday general dull ache, and sharp pain - but I've got (TMI) the worst trapped wind, to the point I'm balled over in pain. So so painful and hasn't eased up since late last night Sad I'm not constipated, so honestly no idea what's going on x

MrsM18 · 24/03/2019 08:44

@ChloePD  Could it be implantation bleeding? When are you due on?

@Laurenmclovely I'm only just catching up on your story really - how many many DPO are you? X

Laurenmclovely · 24/03/2019 08:31

Hey everyone. Literally no idea what is going on with my body. Perhaps I'm too in tune with it? I just have this feeling it's going to happen very soon. Starting to realise I get boob pain in the TWW regardless. Still have no explanation for the pelvic discomfort I was feeling on Friday.

ChloePD · 24/03/2019 07:42

And now I'm bleeding 😭😭😭

Robbo93 · 24/03/2019 07:30

@Hopefulprincess @Kiskacsa @Laurenmclovely thanks for the warm welcome!

I'm going to assume I'm 2DPO (even tho I have no true idea) but I've had lower back ache since my LH surge - is this normal?
