I think that ttc is not at all straightforward it seems Smile I need a break from it and see if my period comes back normally in March, I generally see my boyfriend once a month for a weekend due to being in a long distance relationship, we have a week planned away mid April, I'm swamped with uni deadlines, pretty much said let's miss next month, and enjoy our week away in April,truth is I just want to not worry about pregnacy ovulating or AF coming for a few weeks, i feel very selfish. We are all over eachother so no sex is very unlikely due to fancying the pants off him lol xxx anyone just feel they need a month off it??

It actually happens to a lot of women but unfortunately we're are all not in control of our bodies. We can do our best but if our body decides nope today I'm going to confuse the crap out of you to when your ovulating it will. You can be the most healthiest person but your body will do what it wants. My friend despite planning her pregnancy didn't find out she was pregnant till 12weeks and she had to pay for private ultrasound scan to be sure nothing was wrong with her ovaries. Doctors kept dismissing her and telling her it's normal. Negative pregnancy tests and no symptoms. Xx

From what I have ready on numerous websites your CM needs to be egg white. I've attached a photo below explaining it.

I've also been on numerous threads a few women have gone as far as 20weeks pregnant without a positive pregnancy test and bloods haven't picked up HCG levels either. Still have period though there pregnancy It's only when a scan has don is when they find out they are pregnant xx

I have a question. It's a TMI question but what does everyone notice happens to their CM when they do not fall pregnant? After ovulation, does it dry up? Does it increase just before your AF? And those who did become pregnant, did you notice a change in pattern?

@ylladyoll not sure if your message was directed to mine - forgot to mention that I took tests at what I thought was just before my period cd 28 but it could be a longer cycle this month (maybe cd 40+) and therefore way too early. As you can tell, I am still a little bit hopeful Halo

SandyN89 · 27/02/2020 15:23

@Ylladyoll aww bless sorry. Fingers cross xx

Anything is possible, generally though if your getting started white negative BFN well after period is due it's very rare its pregnancy :( it does happen that someone is pregnant but it doesnt pick it up but it's very rare but it does happen x

Can't believe that so many of you have experienced delays in periods because of vitamins! That's a scary thought - I have had irregular periods since I stopped contraceptives and been ttc for coming up to 2 years, and blamed it on the long usage of hormonal contraceptives.

I am currently on cd 30 (two negative tests already) but sometimes I can get up to cd 40+ so hoping to test again in a few days.

I had really bad one-sided pain in my lower pelvis for several days followed by much milder pain on both sides a week later. No sore boobs, fatigue or nausea at all Sad. Is it possible that ovulation and implantation occurred? Halo

@Ylladyoll Hi Hun I completely forgot to update but I got my period on cycle 47 finally. And I hope my cycles are back to normal.

Welcome @hiddenfigure of course you can.
I would say that spotting could be implantation, but also could be a funny period. Generally the tests will pick up HCG in urine, in some people they dont. In my previous pregnancies I've always had high levels of HCG in my urine so when I was having BFN I knew I wasnt pregnant,I had started vitamins early jan and was fairly confident that they had delayed my period. So wait a week, if period doesnt come, take a test, if still BFN, contact and get advise from your doctor :)

Can I join this thread...?

Came off the pill a year ago, gave my body a few months to settle back into things and felt that happened quite quickly. We were trying but I kind of felt I needed to give my body some time before trying properly.

We actively started trying around October time - have been tracking ovulation with the OPK sticks and look to be ovulating normally.

My periods are quite regular and if I’m honest, I feel I’m quite lucky as they don’t cause me any bother - I don’t get pain or anything.

I was due on Sunday but it hasn’t arrived. Last week - Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday I had cramping, which I don’t normally experience. I couldn’t leave work on time on Thursday evening as I was struggling with the toilet - diarrhoea and was afraid to travel home without access to a loo! On Saturday I had a little bit of spotting, so assume period was coming. I’ll get a little bit a few hours before and then it just comes on. And I can feel it coming on - I thought I felt that on Saturday.

However every day since Saturday I’ve had a little bit of spotting, then nothing for several hours. I wear a liner but noticing transfers to the liner, it’s only when I wipe and it’s just light pink, like a twinge of pink.

I did a FRER last night but it was negative. I will hold off doing another one until the weekend if my period doesn’t come.

I am on CD35 today, which is slightly over my regular cycle. So already this month is very different to other months and with the spotting for days - never happened before. Don’t have any other symptoms bar the cramping and runs last week. I did think my period was coming Saturday but that feeling has gone.

Should I have tested in the morning time rather than evening time?

So finally on CD48 I am getting brown spotting which looks like AF starting for me. Absolutely crazy this cycle and I know it was definitely the vitamins that has thrown this cycle off. Disappointed, yes but just glad things are working again. Smile I definitely think that the pregnacare vitamins are to blame, too much of a coincidence imho x

@Ylladyoll Fingers crossed for you either way. The waiting and not knowing is the worst. Waiting on my end now to get a hint of ovulation on the way since my MC, though nothing yet. For you, the EWCM and boobs are definitely a sign of something going on!

Ylladyoll · 24/02/2020 17:42

So CD47, I've experienced sore heavy boobs for about 5 days. Had 3 days of BDing and today when I wiped had a pink tinge to EWCM small very pink tinge nothing since, so could be that I've finally ovulated and maybe implantation? So I'm definitely hopeful either BFP or AF within next two weeks so plan to test then be good to have an answer if neither of those happen,call to doctor for advice Confused

I'm fairly confident in that is what has happened. So I made the decision to stop taking them. I will take the vitamins once I know I'm pregnant :) keep in touch

iswhois · 21/02/2020 09:00

@Ylladyoll I was taking them this cycle too, maybe that is what has done it. So my "fertile week" was not fertile at all.
Gonna throw them in the bin, not taking anymore vitamins until (and of) I actually get a BFP.
