Hi all. Thought I was start a new thread that hopefully people reply to each other on!
So I'm cycle day 26 out if a usual 32 day cycle. Due my period around the 21st April. Currently got about a week left and the temptation is killing me. I've had period like cramps for the last day or 2, not as intense and my boobs are killing me, cannot even lie down on them properly. Discharge is quite snotty like too. Any one else?

@Scottish26 I tested again after and was negative. But maybe you should test if not normal, I've read that if you are pregnant, you can have slight bleeding when af is due so you think you are out but it's not actually a period x

I had last month @Scottish26 I'm normally 6/7 on. That time, I started spotted on the sunday like a tiny bit, full flow on the monday morning and went to spotting on the Tuesday and then nothing. This was after I had the positive test x

Hi ladies!
Ok so my AF appeared 2 days ago started off pink and then went red with a medium flow, however since 8pm tonight I have stopped ? I’m usually 5/6 days with AF. Has anyone ever had this ?

@Whats1more it wasnt too bad once I started dealing with it. I'm ok now, still have down days and stress/anxiety but I cant get my self out of it when I feel it coming back. @Scottish26 oh no, I'm sorry! Fingers crossed for us this time! X

@Aimy1 il be joining you in the TWW...AF turned up today 😒

Whats1more · 24/04/2020 21:41

@Aimy1 aww I'm sorry you got post natal that must be such a hard thing to go through!! Yeah I got pregnant the first month off my pill with my last baby but this time I came off earlier had really irregular periods until last month & just not caught on yet. Yeah I stress about everything, when I'm going to ovulate, having enough sex & on the right days etc. Not enjoying the process at all! Hopefully we'll get out bfp's soon though xx

thehealthhound · 24/04/2020 15:35

I'm really sorry @Popcat120 i didnt mean it to sound the way youve read it. I meant as in they were pregnancy symptoms for me, regardless of the outcome, so meant it in a positive way. Wishing you all the luck & no hard feelings.

My daughter is 4 in june and I was on the pill straight after until december. But then I was on the pill for 4 years before conceiving her so I just dont understand it. I had post natal with my daughter as well so i stress and get anxiety s lot now which makes me think that's why it's not happened yet because I stress so much! X

Whats1more · 24/04/2020 15:29

@Aimy1 yeah I just don't understand it. I'm only 28 too & had my last little boy only 14months ago so I'm just putting it down to my hormones still sorting themselves out after bc as my periods have just got back regular last month! I'm due on Monday if AF didn't arrive before. I've got no pregnancy symptoms though so I'm not hopeful Sad xx

@Whats1more oh no, it's horrible isnt it! It's so weird how we have had easy and successful times trying to get pregnant and now it's hard all of a sudden. I'm only 27 too and my health is no different to when I had my other children! You arent out until af arrives! When are you due on? X

the health hound quote....

@Popcat120 that sounds very similar to how I felt with my chemical. Hoping I get these symptoms soon! Wishing you all the best & a very healthy pregnancy.

Anyway, good luck girls. I'm out!

Whats1more · 24/04/2020 14:36

Hi, I’ve just recently joined & I’m currently 11dpo ttc no.4! I had a chemical last month & I just know I’m not pregnant this time round which sucks! I tested yesterday & this morning BFN. I got my vfl last month at 11dpo sooo I’m just waiting for AF now! Been trying since Oct last year too & came off the mini pill in Aug. Never had any problems getting pregnant before so it’s a hard pill to swallow! Xx

We have both wished you well? I'm a little confused. It's a thread to share experiences with. Our symptoms didnt turn into a successful pregnancy, we have both congratulated you and hoped yours is successful and told you to keep us updated. I think you have taken the comments in the wrong context. Myself and @thehealthhound were discussing similarities with our chemicals to normal months, nothing to do with your current situation

OP posts:
Popcat120 · 24/04/2020 13:51

Considering I had the same symptoms and a positive frer at 10dpo with my first pregnancy and he's 19 months... Its not too disimilar to my first Pregnancy ...

Think that's really harsh actually to say that!
Of course as with any pregnancy I'm cautiously optimistic but to put someone down straight away. Not too nice of either of you

@Popcat120 I think we will all be over the moon for you but just try to air a bit of caution as to not get Hope's up until after af is missed as wouldnt want you to feel how we did, that's all x

thehealthhound · 24/04/2020 10:27

many apologies if i offended you. xx

Popcat120 · 24/04/2020 10:24

Thanks @thehealthhound
I don't think it's positive to reflect your experiences on to someone else's situation or positive (albeit faint) test.

thehealthhound · 24/04/2020 10:14

@Popcat120 that sounds very similar to how I felt with my chemical. Hoping I get these symptoms soon! Wishing you all the best & a very healthy pregnancy.

@aimy1 so sorry to hear about your chemical - it is just so sad. im still feeling upset and trying not to focus too much on getting pregnant, thought it would make me feel so much better. Sorry this wasn't your month either lovely, keeping everything crossed for you this month. My chemical was similar - i only had 1 day of full bleeding and the rest spotting. I think taking the pressure off is a great strategy - wishing you all the best & good luck xxxx
