I've created us all another thread as we filled the last one!

@mommybear05 I had no idea how long I'd feed for. I never thought I'm definitely going to bf, once he was born though, all I wanted was to get bf right. Every time he woke in the hospital i buzzed for the midwives to check we had got the latch right.

He's already asked more today than he did yesterday and has been difficult to distract!

@Mommybear05 Hope ur ok u seem really positive even tho AF has arrived, iv heard it is common but u may have just missed ur peak too its easily done, hopefully ur cycle is reset and ready to go now though! X x x

@Hayleylou89 last time I had some brown spotting/ discharge before I was due AF maybe 10-12 dpo, I don't know if it was IB bleeding but maybe it was. It was very light and because I was due on in the next few days I assumed it was just AF a tad early, but then it just disappeared.

@dinosaur17 ahh I'm gutted that you think AF is on her way for you, although you're definitely not out until she arrives. I'm only 8dpo and I've been doing the LH tests everyday and there has only been 1 line since seeing my peak so hopefully that means that I did ovulate and I caught it. AF is due 22nd so if she doesn't arrive I'll test on the 30th I think, but not holding out much hope this month as I've had no symptoms.

Hayleylou89 · 14/04/2020 08:02

@VP91x Ill wait until atleast friday and maybe use a cheapy then unless i start feeling any other symptoms in the meantime, I remember last time everyone in the thread saying it couldnt be implantation because it was far too early and i thought the same but i was pg and its happening again 🙈 it might not be implantation as such maybe something else but it definitely lead to pregnancy last time so fingers crossed its a good sign 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Mommybear05 · 14/04/2020 07:58

@Hayleylou89 ah I was going to say I read it can’t happen before 5 days but clearly not for you! That picture so looks like ib. Exciting!

Girls! Af has come this morning! So that means I had a 31 day cycle post Mc, at least I’m assuming it’s her. Def heavier than that other bleeding. Perhaps I didn’t ovulate this cycle immediately after mc as the opks suggest. Is that common does anyone know?
A 31 day cycle- I’ll take that right now Wink xx

VP91x · 14/04/2020 07:52

@Hayleylou89 oh yeah they are exactly the same!

Are you going to test in a couple of days? Xx

Hayleylou89 · 14/04/2020 07:47

@VP91x
Sorry tmi this early in the morning but the first pic is today at 4dpo the second picture was the last time i had it at 3dpo (approx) as i was only temping really and I was on holiday and got a positive test at 9dpo when i got home xx

Hayleylou89 · 14/04/2020 07:40

@dinosaur17 see 8dpo is quite normal time to get it but i did have it so early last time (unless my ovualtion date was wrong as i wasnt tracking really) but this time i know when i ovulated and it was only friday and iv had it again was ur pinky coloured or brown spotting as it can be either? X

dinosaur17 · 14/04/2020 07:36

@Hayleylou89 I did have implantation bleeding last pregnancy, was 8dpo and got a positive test the next day.

@SmileyT How are you getting on? How did you get on with LH testing? Due AF today and have had really really light spotting so reckon she’s on her way.

Did a frer first thing and still looks negative so reckon I’m out! Have ordered some more cheapies just in case AF decides to stay away! Xx

Hayleylou89 · 14/04/2020 07:36

@Mommybear05 im only 4dpo today and last time this happened when i was pregnant it was 3dpo then again at 6dpo and it looks the same, its just pinky tinge on tissue i took a pic to compare to last time 🙈 ...they say it doesnt happen this early on but i was pregnant last time
and it happened early on, its so strange, it is only a little bit today compared to the first time it happened last time though xx

VP91x · 14/04/2020 07:32

@Mommybear05 yeah, will go with those first and if I get anything then I will double check with a clearblue digital they are so handy.

@Hayleylou89 I've not had any IB I don't think. What was yours like? X

Mommybear05 · 14/04/2020 07:30

@Hayleylou89 morning. What I had this time isn’t implantation so no experience there I’m afraid. How many days post ovulation are you? X

Mommybear05 · 14/04/2020 07:29

@SmileyT thank you. Fingers crossed for you for the rest of the month and your 2ww xx

Hayleylou89 · 14/04/2020 07:28

Hey girls, did any of u have implantation bleeding last pregnancy? I did and iv had the same this morning after fmu but dnt want to get my hopes up and want to compare with someone else who had it? X x

Mommybear05 · 14/04/2020 07:27

@Renna thank you xxx

Mommybear05 · 14/04/2020 07:25

@vp91x yes I heard that the first response tests are the most sensitive so good idea. I think I’ll try one of those next time. I usually use clear blue xx

Wishingfornumber2 · 13/04/2020 23:04

@VP91x @Happyasbarry Thanks, cm hasn’t really changed as much as normal so really don’t know. But DTD last night and going to every other night for the rest of the week so hopefully will cover it just incase. X

@Renna Good to hear you got your peak Smile. It’s a shame the lines don’t mean the same as other tests, would be handy if they did! X

SmileyT · 13/04/2020 22:56

@Hayleylou89 ooh just actually went back on my Fitbit calendar for when I would've ovulated and I did the test about 22dpo and only got symptoms a week before I think. No way I'll make it that long this time though 😂 9 sleeps until AF is due and it's dragging already

Rainbowhope11 · 13/04/2020 21:41

@Mommybear05 I'm sorry you're feeling out of sorts ☹️ I feel for you! I'm having a similar problem tracking anything. I was really excited when I saw ewcm last week, but Its carried on right up until today so I'm really confused too. Cb opk has just been showing peak fertility ever since last week, because I still have some Hcg left in my system. BBT is all over the place too, so unhelpful. It's just horrible not knowing what's going on with our bodies. Fingers crossed we can return to normal soon! Hang in there!

SmileyT · 13/04/2020 21:11

Only just checked my emails and noticed I was tagged in a post, was so confused nobody had posted 😂

@Bellabubble yeah I try to track bbt like you said but with the MC/ surgery/ OH working nights it's not always perfect, although temp seems to have increased after the peak on cheapie opks and CB connected so that's a good sign. (Attached the pic)

@Mommybear05 ahh sorry you're feeling a bit crap with it all, even though it'd be great to see that BFP I bet you'll be grateful if AF comes just so you know you can reset, sending you lots of love.

@Hayleylou89 I went on holiday when I was pregnant in feb and the only real indication I had was that I slept loads, although not completely unusual on holiday.... by the time I took a test I must've been about 16dpo and my boobs at that stage had become massive but don't think I noticed anything else.

I'm currently 7DPO with quite a bit of CM and just waiting for AF to arrive, I've been taking the LH tests everyday just to check there isn't another surge but kinda feeling like this isn't going to be my month at all. Slept all day yesterday and I can already tell OH is getting excited and feel like I'm going to let him down a bit when AF comes.

@dinosaur17 I was thinking about how you were getting on... I've got everything crossed you get your BFP 🤞

@Wishingfornumber2 thanks! I got an empty circle first time using and thought the lines were dark. Next day straight to smiley face and the lines looked exactly the same. I agree with previous comment the first one will be negative. Def dtd just in case. Good luck!

Renna · 13/04/2020 20:31

@Bellabubblebell hiya.. we are in the process of buying a new build, was meant to be completed in June but with covid looks like that will be delayed now and the construction likely delayed xx good luck with TWW , I am 2dpo too, when is AF due for you? X and yeah I think a cheapie is technically same as opk just different name x

@Wishingfornumber2 I had the same thing with my CB test last month which was immediately after MC and didnt get a peak at all. But I had the lines like that and just kept getting flashing smiley. But in my first proper cycle now after first AF arrived and I've got my peak. I've read all sorts tbh that it can take a while to understand your levels and I've read the lines mean different things such as one of them reading your estrogen levels so is different to other tests just testing for your LH surge so you cant really read into the lines yourself. Xx

@Mommybear05 sorry to hear youre feeling low xx it's so tough and can deffo understand that frustration, I felt it last month immediately after MC when I couldnt track ovulation etc xxx defo take a break if you feel you need it. Stress can affect your cycle too so many relaxing a bit may even help xxx at least you know these threads are here when u do need them and we can relate 😘 xxx

VP91x · 13/04/2020 20:20

@Mommybear05 hopefully. One way or another something will happen soon! I have ordered some First Response in case AF hasn't shown by Monday xx

Mommybear05 · 13/04/2020 20:15

@vp91x well I’m hoping that This cb goes static for you soon! Other signs are pointing to ovulation for you. Xx

VP91x · 13/04/2020 20:10

@Mommybear05 sorry and no it was my first month of using the CB digital x

VP91x · 13/04/2020 20:10

@Mommybear05 I am glad we have this thread too ❤️ I am on CD16 my shortest cycles are sometimes 21 days. So I could be 5 days away from AF or more. Depends what will go on. Xx
