@Hayleylou89 the temp rise sounds positive. Lastnight at 11pm I had one spec of pure red blood on tissue. Then again 20 minutes ago, I mean like 1/2cm. Very small, I also have a dull ache very low down on the left side.

Don't want to get my hopes up as could be af after stopping pill but I don't usually spot before. It's usually a few cramps then full on. I also technically aren't due until Sunday. Fingers crossed for us both x

@2020wish dont be worried about 8dpo bfn especially knowing what happened before and getting a late bfp. Iv got my hopes up based on my temp today its gone up again the 37.89... it hasnt been this high since my last pregnancy but i dnt know if its the new bedroom im in or what? Hope its accurate. Im getting little tiny sharp pains in the left side too like tiny but noticible but i really dnt wanna get to excited to be let down...im 7 dpo today and think i only have 2 cheapy sticks left so dnt want to waste them and 2 frer and a cb blue die that i defo would
Only use to back up and frer once i get a positive as the dye is rubbish, have u had any more symtoms, iv said im not testing until i feel
Or see anything odd the only def difference in other cycles is my temps higher than it has been at this stage but so much can affect ur temp so dnt want to take that as my only real sign.

@Rainbowhope11 I giggled reading that cos iv bought myself new gym gear so if im not
Preg i can go jogging etc but wont do
Nothing in this two week wait other than a slow bike ride 😂 if im preg itll be long walks with the pooch for 9 mmonth and thats it as i went the gym 5 days a week last time and i worry that contributed even though iv always gone the gym and took it easy :( x

Rainbowhope11 · 19/05/2020 06:26

@2020wish 😂🤣I totally understand that! I was just telling my hubby that I can't wait to get back to spin class and running, but i can't, because I overdo it and it messes my cycle up. So now I'm just going to sit here and stuff my face while waiting for a bfp 😂

2020wish · 19/05/2020 05:58

@Rainbowhope11 the rational part of me completely knows it’s too early for cheapies but I just can’t help myself as like u I bought loads after my mc Shock lol I have ultra early clear blue light give those a go tomorrow or next day lol I just want to know so I can just start dieting instead and exercising and lose some weight or be over the moon and sit my ass down and not move until I’m 12 weeks lol

Rainbowhope11 · 19/05/2020 05:47

@2020wish oh dear! 8dpo is probably too soon for a cheapie 😊 I'm saying this and yet I don't know how I'm going to stop myself from testing, considering I bought a box of 50 cheapies after my mc 😂🙈

Hmm, I get disturbed by my dog some mornings, and if I'm honest, I actually wake up when he wakes me up, which is not always at the same time every morning. I still temp as I find that I can still see an overall pattern and I like to use it to confirm ovulation. But if it's stressing you out, I would just ditch it😊 one less thing to worry about!

2020wish · 19/05/2020 05:42

Trying to occupy my kind, looked back on my Flo app and what I logged the month I fell pregnant, sore boobs at 10dpo, bfn at 12dpo, and BFP at 14dpo

Really need this month to be my month or I feel like I’m best giving up ttc for now. So stressful

2020wish · 19/05/2020 05:33

How everyone this morning? 8dpo and bfn this morning on a cheapie. Dunno why I’m testing lol probably because I know I have 20 cheapies lying about lol but of course it makes u feel disheartened

Dd came blasting into bedroom this morning at 4am wakening me up out of sleep abruptly meaning I had to interact with her before taking my temp. I just spoke to her, didn’t get up but was awake then for about 20 mins before I decided to just take my temp cause I couldn’t get back to sleep. Is there any point recording it? I am 109% not temping next month

HE88 · 18/05/2020 22:42

@Hayleylou89 ha ha I know 😂. I've got a Frer just didn't want to waste it might need to use it though if she doesn't appear soon. I also don't temp as I don't really understand it tbh. Funny you should mention having bleeding after sex and it being implantation bleeding hubby and I got a little frisky yesterday morning and there was a bit a blood afterwards I thought for sure af will come now but no! Xx

Hayleylou89 · 18/05/2020 22:33

@HE88 hey u know them famous last words ur not out till af shows? What r ur temps like?
Have u not got frer? X x

Hayleylou89 · 18/05/2020 22:32

@mumoftwobeauts
Im good thanks 😊 almost 7dpo so closer to peeing on a stick... i had IB at 6dpo in my first pregnancy but it was after sex so not sure if that promoted it but it was def IB as it was nothing like anythin id had before mine was watery and pink but it can be like u described so it def is a positive sign! X

@SmileyT thank u! Im not feeling much else symtom wise tbf, maybe just a bit hotter than usual but im in the new bedroom now so it could be a change in where im sleeping x

HE88 · 18/05/2020 21:55

Why are our bodies so confusing af was due today but she hasn't appeared yet, I'm not convinced that I'm pregnant though as I've done a couple of ic tests which are all bfn also I've had spotting since Friday which always happens before af. I really thought I was settling into a 28 day cycle looks like I'm not aarrgghh so annoying. Sorry for the rant ha ha. Xx

SmileyT · 18/05/2020 21:35

@Insideallday sending you lots of baby dust for this month. I'm CD3 and have 28 day cycles so we can be cycle buddies x

@Hayleylou89 really hope it's a positive sign for you, keep us updated with symptoms x

VP91x · 18/05/2020 21:30

@Bellabubble ah, if you've got a busy week then yes Monday with FMU seems like best bet otherwise you'd be guessing, which is more frustrating!! Hopefully you have had a relaxing evening if you didnt feel great today.

Yeah, good thank you! Just waiting to get confirmation of OV with BBT after my positive OPK yesterday. So I can then start my TWW, 😩 xx

@SmileyT & @Quail15 thank you so much for your responses. I think you are both right, counting from day 1 of bleeding I’m probably just getting my period, which is good as hopefully I can get back to normal. It just feels never ending, it’s not my first miscarriage so you’d think I would know. I do usually use OPK’s but didn’t this month with everything going on. Will start afresh this cycle.

Good luck on your journeys, wishing you all luck to get that BFP.

mumoftwobeauts · 18/05/2020 21:15

@Hayleylou89 Thankyou. How's things with you? X

Bellabubble · 18/05/2020 20:54

@VP91x I missed your post from yesterday!! Sorry - I was trying to catch up and clearly my brain was just giving up lol!! I’m not sure abou testing early, my app says af is due between thurs-sun depending on how long my cycle is asI’m usually either 27 or 29 days. But that gets me confused as to when I should test if I do it early lol! Sunday would be the end of my TWW - so I wonder whether the safer bet is to use fmu on the Monday? I’m lucky in that I have a busy week this week so time isn’t going to bad! Felt very spaced out today though - so work was a bit hard going lol! How are you today? xx

Quail15 · 18/05/2020 20:36

@Insideallday I agree with @SmileyT I counted the first day of heavy flow ... I had light bleeding for a few days before I started to bleed properly. So i counted that as day one.

So sorry for your loss ♥️ x

DBTJ · 18/05/2020 20:31

Lil tip for those with titled cervix try missionary position and then laying in bed for around 10mins after.Grin

Hayleylou89 · 18/05/2020 20:20

@mumoftwobeauts yes 100% u can implant that early 🙏🙏 sounds promising x x

mumoftwobeauts · 18/05/2020 20:18

@Kangaroo77 Thankyou so much, you too x

Hayleylou89 · 18/05/2020 20:18

@SmileyT Haha spongey walls!! Thats the only way to describe it... iv still got it at 6dpo so will soon know if thats a sign for me or not either way 🙏 hopefully it is x

Kangaroo77 · 18/05/2020 20:04

It's hard isn't it when you get a slightly different experience @mumoftwobeauts

I tested positive twice at 8dpo with past pregnancies (diff partner) but today bfn at 8dpo. Not ruling it out yet though. Fingers crossed for you in 3/4 days 🤞🏻

mumoftwobeauts · 18/05/2020 19:42

@Kangaroo77 Thankyou. I've never had it with previous pregnancies. Always got a positive 5 days before af though so around 9/10dpo x

Jazper · 18/05/2020 19:24

@SmileyT and @VP91x
Ooohhh!! I get why so many of you use cheapies alongside now! I'm only using digi after using only cheapies last month and not getting on with them. (In hindsight I actually think I didn't ovulate or ovulated really late as I was a week late on my period - cycle still readjusting after mc)
I'm only CD 11 and prior to mc had regular 28-30 day cycles, but as they have been irregular I may just start testing twice a day now in fear of missing it. Thank you for your advice. My little heart leapt when I saw that flashing smily face 😂Hope it doesn't go on for days! Xx

Kangaroo77 · 18/05/2020 19:19

I've heard a lot of this @mumoftwobeauts, I've never had it myself but you can implant as early as 6 dpo. Plus I've tested positive twice previously at 8dpo which suggests implanting around day 6 dpo. Positive sign id say xxx
