Early December testing?

@Ellsbells112 it's started. Full flow aswell, so CD1 today for me 😊
Has yours started today aswell? Xx

@Gems7 sounds promising then! Good luck I hope af stays away!! Xx

Today is CD30 and I haven't had a cycle that long in all the months we have been trying

@Ellsbells112 I don't temp because I work all different shifts in the hospital and I would be inconsistent with it. I have cramps occasionally, here and there. Bit of lower back ache but only mild, boobs ever so slightly tender but not much.
Last Thursday/Friday was the worst for the bloating and cramps I really thought AF was coming, especially Friday on the way home from work they were that bad my OH ran me a bath when I got home and they settled down.
If AF hasn't arrived properly by the end of the day then I will buy a test and do it tomorrow morning I think.. and if it's BFN then possible make an apt with GP 🤷🏻‍♀️ xx

@Gems7 it might be implantation or breakthrough bleeding? Have you been taking your temperature?? Any cramps with it? Xx

@Ellsbells112 oooo that's soon isn't it, that's great. You will have piece of mind quickly! Wish my OH's GP would do that!
Another small amount of pale pink on the tissue when I wiped this morning, no full flow.. surely this isn't normal? Xx

@Gems7 he takes 40mg zinc and 200mg cq10. I started giving him the folic acid I take too.
Yeah, that's what does my head in, I know we do it at the exact right time every month so it blows my mind as tobto where the little guys are getting lost. Anyway, Wednesday is sperm test day so let's see what the next few weeks bring!
I use the purple ones, at least you have a larger window of opportunity :) xx

@Ellsbells112 can I ask you hun what dose of cq10 and zinc is your OH taking? X

@Ellsbells112 I have a feeling mines coming fully tomorrow aswell. I know I'm not pregnant so kind of wish it would just hurry up to be honest then I can start again!! I have bought the purple clearblue OPK's this time, although it probably doesn't matter really since I thought I'd nailed it with OV and DTD timings this month and it still didn't chuffing happen did it 😆🤷🏻‍♀️ xx

@Gems7 @Robbo93 mines getting slightly heavier now, I'm sure by tomorrow it will be a proper period. 🙄 Knew it but didn't want to know it! Xx

@Robbo93 yeah I think it's the medication, it started before the drinking session lol but defo think it's the medication. Hopefully they give you some answers!! Xx

@Ellsbells112 no it's only a couple of wipes a day and bare minimum. But sometimes it's orangey, sometimes it's pinkish & sometimes its red! Going docs on Tuesday so hopefully they'll reassure me on what it could be!

Your different cycle this month could be something to do with your medication you've been taking, even your drinking sesh last night may have delayed full flow lol x

@Robbo93 TWO WEEKS.... Oh my goodness, what the heck is going on, you must be so confused. Is it a lot or just a small amount? Is it every day? Have you been doing OPK's or anything?

I feel like every month my body plays new tricks on me, there was a pale pink on the tissue about 20 mins ago aswell, it's a very very small amount, but 3 days of spotting has never happened before for me, I know AF is on her way though, the cramps feel the same.

Hope things become less confusing for us all soon xx

@Robbo93 what is it!? It's crazy!! Sorry you're still having issues with spotting xx

@Ellsbells112 @Gems7 aww ladies I hope you're both put out of your misery sooner rather than later.
Welcome to the spotting club tho.. today marks 2 weeks of spotting for me! Wth 😹

@Gems7 that's soooo weird that we both haven't started properly yet!! I think my longest cycle is 29 though and today is cycle 28. Its just weird though because there's literally the tiniest bit of pinky brown colour and that's it, I have to squint to see it but it's been like that since yesterday around 7pm. 🙄 Every month there's something different to give me stupid hope. I'm sure full flow will come later or tomorrow! I hope yours stays away though it sounds super promising!! Xx

@Ellsbells112 WELL.. AF hasn't actually started yet.. last 2 cycles have both been 27 days, today is CD29 and I'm still waiting. Pink tinge on tissue Friday morning then none throughout the day and pink tinge yesterday morning on tissue and none throughout the day. Nothing so far today.. Still having cramps and still feeling bloated but I have never had spotting for 3 days before AF came before.. usually just one day before so I don't know what the chuff is going on!! My boobs are sore now aswell. I'm fully expecting it to arrive any minute though because that's how it feels but nothing yet...
Wish I was hungover, I've just got home from work, which was like an extreme sport because of these damn floods! Get yourself on the sofa and stay there haha Xx
how you girls doing? @Anny27 @Robbo93 xx

@Gems7 ahh I'm sorry hun!! I'm waiting for full flow, yesterday evening couldn't even call it spotting was just a tiny dot on the tissue, same as now. Having little cramps but just waiting for a proper flow, which will come I'm pretty sure of it. Maybe the medication I took has messed with my flow too? Anyway I'm so hungover jesus 😂😂 unreal right now

I started spotting this afternoon right on cue! 😒 AF will hit full force tomorrow! Home from work ten mins ago, bath running, bottle of Prosecco poured! I'm out.
On to another month we go.
Good luck @Anny27 for this cycle
Still think you're in the same boat as me @Ellsbells112? Xx

@Gems7 awww yeah I know!! 🤗🤗 Sooo many people are having babies right now 😩😩. Yeah same as me, it would have to be paid for and I've heard the success rate for ivf is better in other countries and cheaper too. There is iui I think it's called where they wash the sperm etc and inseminate or something like that, just sounds so bloody cold doesn't it!! Af cramps full on came for me today, literally went and bought a fat choc peanut Butter slice haha and now I just want to sleep (especially after last night OH came back from a business trip and showed me how much he missed mr😂 not complaining at alllll)
Definitely no one to blame but yeah just hope there's an easy solution in place for us (all of us) ! Xx

@Ellsbells112 I'll be defo on the rose this weekend once AF shows!
It's so hard isn't it, because nobody in the relationship is to "blame" if there's an issue, it's life, shit happens!.. I love my OH to pieces and it wouldn't change a thing in our relationship if one of us had an issue that was preventing us from conceiving.. I would just hope (like you do) that it was something that had a solution, because we are both so desperate for a baby. We are on the right track to getting answers though!!
There's so much they can do medically these days isn't there.. but I know (if it got that far) that we wouldn't be suitable candidates for IVF because I already have a child with somebody else.
Doesn't help that my sister had announced her pregnancy.. it's making my ovaries ache! 😭

@Gems7 😂😂😂😂 we've got a friends birthday to go to on Saturday evening so if I'm on then or feel it coming the day after I will definitely be knocking back some nice whiskey 😂🥃.
I know we are aren't we lol, but then maybe it is safe to say it's them? 🤦‍♀️ Not in a bad way, I mean I'm sitting here saying to myself what if my womb scarred from abortions and then my friend tells me her friend had like 4 and still went on to have 3 healthy pregnancies. Me and OH was talking last night and he actually said, you know what El it's probably me. Bless him, I said we won't know till tests are done it could be either of us.
I've booked the doctors app for Wednesday next week so yayyyy we will find out in the next few weeks if his sperm is okay or not. I don't actually know what I would prefer? Knowing that hes got low sperm so we have to do it less and wait for it to happen, or wait however long it takes to have a look at my tubes and the rectify the issue!! 😩 At least the process has started though! I just pray that is something that can be fixed! Xxx

Thanks girls. I will get them all haha stuff him full of everything in the hope that something will help!

Nope @Ellsbells112 it's just not happening is it! 😤
I feel like we are both in a similar position. With an older child with a previous partner and both struggling to conceive with a partner who has no children. I want to be able to give him a baby so badly, it makes me feel so shit at this time of the month when I know we've failed again and AF is coming.
So yeah I'll probs do the same as you and stuff my face full of food, then when AF arrives on Sat I'll drown my sorrows further in a bottle of wine with a straw! 👌🏻 maybe 2! 🤪 xx

@Gems7 @ellsbells112 apparently vitamin c is good for them too! Got my hubby on that this month and if we dont catch this month I will look into proper vitamins for him

@Gems7 zinc and cq10 xx
I dunno I'm out man haha its just not happening is it. I know what you mean I was really bloated yesterday too, I'm gonna go get some food make myself feel better! I'm due af on Saturday or Sunday xx

@anny27 thanks but I think I'm out xx
