TTC First Baby Thread 21

@whatsthecraic91 started trying November last year stopped taking the pill last September. Had a miscarriage in May so now approaching cycle 10 and feel more upset every cycle.

Thanks @LokiCat currently just upset potentially a 25 day cycle and 9 day luteal phase which is very not normal for me

Hi ladies! Hope you've been having a lovely weekend!

@ELW85 ah glad you enjoyed your date night!! Definitely, I will tell you all about it 😊😊

@Lemonysherbet @Larrydavid @Sunshine8888 cycle buddies! I'm 10dpo today too  will be holding off till Wednesday to test 🤞🏽

@Larrydavid glad you like the look of the femometer! Hope it works well for you and good luck with temping :)

@cupcakesandglitter ahh can't believe your 6+2 already, how exciting! Hope you've been feeling okay :) x

@Anny27 nooo, my temp dipped this morning, almost to the coverline, so I didn't test. It's probably a good thing as I think it would have been a waste of a test! I'm hoping it's an implantation dip, but will see what happens with the temp in the morning.
Your signs are sounding positive for ovulation coming soon! How has SMEP been going?

@MrsH497 ah no, I'm sorry it seems like you've got some spotting. Keeping everything crossed that you're still in and she isn't showing up!! ❤️

@Lozzlepop oh no sorry to hear the roof isn't any better! Is there still a long wait before they come look at it?
Hope you had a good lunch. Well deserved after a deep clean!

@Jessikka congratulations!

So I had some weird cramping earlier, similar to what I have when AF is about to show. My boobs are still as sore as ever (it's been the same the whole cycle), no other symptoms though really.

This weekend has gone so fast! Have just got back from Sunday lunch at my in laws, trying to relax after all that food consumption 😂
Hope you're all having a nice Sunday evening ❤️

@MrsH497 took my last pill on Christmas Eve 😢 so this is cycle 8! what about you?

@whatsthecraic91 how long have you been on this nightmare journey?!

@MrsH497 I know, when I started this journey never did I think it would take this long! Everywhere I look people are pregnant & most of the people I know who are it wasn’t planned, it completely blows my mind how people have accidents 😓

@whatsthecraic91 I'm not getting hopes up I'm just upset it's a much shorter cycle (and therefore luteal phase) than I've ever had.
This is completely demoralising

@Lozzlepop OMG that sounds like a nightmare! Hope you’ve got sorted now!?

AF had calmed down to be none existent! Weirdest period ever, flowing like a river Friday and Saturday and today it’s gone, so I don’t know if my period lasted Mon-Sat (mon-thurs just spotting when I wiped) or 2 days? (Fri-sat) really tempted to start my CB OPKs in the morning incase this is CD7 or is this CD3 - really don’t know 🙈🙈

@MrsH497 I had spotting for 4 days then AF arrived with an almighty bang. I had convinced myself it was implantation bleeding but it wasn’t. Not to be a killjoy but just don’t get your hopes up too much x

@Larrydavid normally about 34 days 😊 I knew I wouldn't be as well but always get giddy around the end of the 2 weeks anyway 😅😅

Congratulations @Jessikka

Oh huge congratulations @Jessikka that's super exciting news!

Well I'll see how it goes it's mainly brown nothing when I wipe and hardly anything on a tampon

@MrsH497 mine was brown BUT I've read plenty of threads where women have had heavy red flow (and even clotting) so I think it's varied for everyone xx

@Lozzlepop I'm good thankyou, 6+2 today but 8 weeks according to NHS 😂 xx

Thankyou for the welcomes ladies. I cant tag as I've a new phone and can't get the list of names when I @ like I did with my iphone!
I'm very well. Got my BFP yesterday so just letting it sink in atm!
I've been reading and keeping tabs but just wanted a step back from it all!

@Blossomingflower94 I am CD14 of a usually 24/25 day cycle.

I hope you have a lot of success with them! I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you. Reading up they say you may get a more accurate result if you test more than once a day and typically not FMU (I think!)

When are you going to start using them? X

Morning ladies

Sorry I have been quiet but I have been pretty busy! The leaking roof saga continues, 11pm last night and we were taking our blooming blinds down and water was pouring out- not ideal especially when there’s a weather warning in place 😭 how are we all?

@whatsthecraic91 how are you feeling now? I hope AF has calmed down!

@Jessikka welcome back lovely how are you?

@cupcakesandglitter how are you getting on?

@MrsH497 sorry to hear AF may be here! I think implantation can either be very light pink or darker brown but not red like a period, I have had very light pink before (last time)

I’m 10DPO today, I have been exhausted all weekend due to poor sleeps! Just cleaned the house including a kitchen deep clean and about to head out for lunch with DP ☺️ Hope everyone is having a smashing Sunday!

@MrsH497 implantation is more dark in colour, brown mainly. That's not from personal experience but from a medical knowledge x

So IF (big if I lm not hopeful!) it's implantation without being TMI what should colour and flow be like?

@MrsH497 ooooh! This might be it! Keep an eye on it over the next few days, if you can hold out don't test for two days or so - you should have a nice clear line. Fingers crossed xx

@PrincessConsuela12 Where are you in your cycle now?

I've bitten the metaphorical bullet and ordered some ... Really want to be pregnant by Christmas!

@cupcakesandglitter I put a tampon in straight away as I assumed it was af. It's brown with a bit of red. Just been to the toilet wiped and barely anything I am really confused

@MrsH497 Hmm 🤔 I'm guessing maybe you had an anovulatory cycle OR it's implantation? I had implantation spotting for five days, identical to my pre-AF spotting which is why I was dead certain af would show up.. is it normal flow? X

@cupcakesandglitter I used OPKs so got my peak on evening of day 13. Just so confused

Sorry to hear that @MrsH497 x
