Short LP & cycle success stories

@trying2019 praying we get out BFPs! I don't have mt hopes up anymore but I'm keeping everything crossed.

@CooperLooper @lunamoon1 thank you lovelies. It was with midday wee and it was very clear! I'm sure it's not going to happen anyway as I'd expect a much stronger line by now and my boobs have almost stopped hurting. AF due on 30th so just wishing it would arrive early so that I can get on with the next cycle. If I hadn't tested early I probably would have never known...

Thank you @CooperLooper @lunamoon1 i havent tested again. I have a feeling that im out. I had the tinist speck of brown CM this morning and last night the weirdest orangey colour. I feel a bit crampy today and very wet (sorry tmi) but i cant check as im on a train no where near the toilet 🙈 if if i have started spotting already then im sure something is going on as never spot before 10 DPO and think im only 9.

@Beau2020x sorry to hear you had a negative. As we always say we are not out till AF arrives xx

@Beau2020x oh I'm so sorry, when's AF due for you? Was today's test with FMU?

@lunamoon1 I'm doing absolutely fine, feeling positive and looking forward to this month's next fertile window 😊 thank you for asking though, I really appreciate it x

@Beau2020x this happened to me last cycle, so frustrating! Hope you are feeling okay. Remember you aren't out until AF arrives!

@CooperLooper how are you doing? As others have said the first few days of a new cycle is hard then it's onwards and upwards, wishing you all the best for this one!

@Trying2019 keeping my fingers crossed that you will get your obvious BFP soon!

The TWW is really making me suffer🤦🏼‍♀️

@CooperLooper Glad you are getting some results and hopefully some answers soon!

Not good news for me, done a FRER today and blazing BFN :( it was too good to be true. My boobs started hurting less and less as the morning went on today so did and test and 100% negative. Never mind, on to the next one!

@Beau2020x don't worry about it, I've moved on now and it's a new cycle 😊 it was only another 3-day AF for me this time so still pretty light but we're getting there. B Complex is one I didn't pick up before so I'll go to H&B on my lunch and pick some of those up too - give me aaaaalll the vitamins.

How many DPO are you? Maybe you caught it super early and it's still early days for detecting HGC (or HCG I always forget which way around). Jeeze if people get pregnant accidentally from one night stands all the time then don't worry, you might have still caught as it only takes once!

@CooperLooper ahh so sorry about AF - I didn't see this before my post. You don't class spotting as CD1, only when it starts as full flow. I was the same as you, on nexplanon before and no periods! The agnus castus, vit B complex, B6 and C seemed to help regulate my hormones.

I tested again last night and it was a verrrrryyyy faint line, probably more so than the first one so I'm maybe just thinking it's too good to be true - we hardly DTD at all this month so I just don't know how it's possible! I'm going to test again tomorrow morning.

@Trying2019 how frustrating for you, have you tested again this morning? Is it any clearer?

@Beau2020x what about you, have you tested again this morning?

I'm so excited for you both!

@cooperlooper i really don't know. If there was a speck in more than one place then maybe but its so hard to tell. Definitely not stark white but at same time barely there. All month ive been doing positive thinking keep repeating to myself that i will be pregnant and i will see two lines. Swear im going crazy xx

@Wearenotyourkind you have my sympathies you really do! Positive mindset into the next cycle though 😊

@Trying2019 do you think it could be the start of a positive? 🤞🏻

@Wearenotyourkind the first couple of days of a new cycle are always horrible but i keep trying to remind myself it will get better and i will have a baby one day. I tested this morning after having pink CM on thursday. I think im only 8dpo though so way too early. There was just a speck of pink where the 2nd line is meant to be (i think) even if this month isnt my month i feel like im getting closer x

Thanks for replying @Trying2019 💗 it's definitely full blown AF. Right, pull myself together, into CD1 and here's to the next cycle...

How's everyone else doing?

@CooperLooper hope you are feeling ok today? I used to be the same the later i ovulated the longer my luteal phase no idea why. You just cant win some times its so frustrating

@Beau2019 definitely a line there. Congrats.

@Wearenotyourkind sorry to hear AF got you. Is it definitely full on AF or spotting?

X

FFS I'm out 😭😫 AF arrived this morning - so a 26 day cycle with an LP of only 8 days. Feeling really gutted this month. If I was a crier, I'd be in tears. Getting really frustrating now. Sorry for the rant ☹️

Aaaaah congrats @Beau2020x I can clearly see it! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Wow! @Beau2020x tentative congrats!!!!! How many DPO are you? I think we are similar? I'm 7/8 DPO.

Hey girls, just to update you all - I've had awfully painful boobs for last 3 days - never ever get that! I did a CB early result yesterday and BFN. Just done a FRER this afternoon and I THINK it may be positive!

It is possible!!! I'll test again in 2 days and see if it's still positive

Morning @Trying2019 yeah I know you're right. I was so frustrated last night but just getting on with it and being more positive today.

It was Nexplanon (implant) before with no periods at all whilst I had them in for 6yrs, so it's no surprise it's taking a while and it's all over the place.

I'm just more frustrated that it seems to have regressed this month - first month I started bleeding 4/5DPO which was 35 days after having it removed. Then I managed 9DPO but that was in a 50 day cycle 🙄😱 now I've hit 4/5DPO again but this time a 29 day cycle.

I'll give it another month of tracking and temping, with agnus castus and B6, and if I'm still all over the place I'll go to the doctors.

29 days is a nice cycle length at least, but I suppose my issue seems to be late ovulation really rather than a short LP (I Ov'd CD23 this month).

Aaaaah!! Positive mental attitude positive mental attitude positive mental attitude......

@CooperLooper what contraception were you on before and when did you come off it again? Silly question but have you googled whether its common after stopping what you were on? Also is it constantly a light flow or does it stop for ages. When i spot quite a bit which is more like a light flow it can then stop for hours and hours so i still class it as spotting. Id go to the doctors just for some advice. Its more than likely just your body settling down if its not been long. x

Already taking AC, started this (last cycle). It's light but it's more than spotting which is how they've started the last 3 times, and actually cos I now need to count this as CD1 I actually only had a 4 day luteal phase.

Not really sure where I go from here

Try Angus Castus Vitex - herbal remedy useful for smoothing out menstrual cycle.

Oh that's shit i'm gutted for you. Is it full blown af or just spotting?

I'm out 😔 AF just got me. I'm CD29 and only 5DPO I'm so fucking frustrated. Aaaaargh.

No nothing. I did read that implantation can literally just be a couple of spots but i still can't imagine getting a positive and if im not pregnant god knows what it was.

Hoping you get to 10 DPO ive never even got to test before cos i spot early. Only ever tested once when my period didnt feel quite right and once before my wedding when i was on the pill and i didnt want a positive so it would be nice to get to test but at least we don't waste a fortune on tests x
