Crazy gang part..errr f*ck who knows anymore!

@BFP2020 and @Missgoldilocks thanks for your reply. I'm going to put it down to ovulation just very stance for me. Spotting continued for a couple of days but now stopped. Hoping it's a good thing that well at least I am ovulating as I read ovulation bleeding is a good sign.

@BFP2020 hope your keeping ok and doing well x

@Danni2020 hey I'm still keeping an eye on this thread. I've had this and I put it down to ovulation spotting which is normal enough I think it's only ever happened twice to me! X

Hoping some people are still out there on this thread as need some advice. When you have been so long TTC and still something new happens to freak you out. Well this cycle is different for me 1DPO and some pink discharge now 2DPO and have some more when I wiped this time with some red spots of blood in it. How can I have be having this spotting so early on. Only other time I've had pink discharge is usually near my af arriving. Aaahhh why can't it just be a normal cycle what could cause this spotting so early on? Hoping someone is still there xx

Hey. I’m new to mumsnet today. I cannot work it out at all! Can anyone help me on where I click to start a new topic?

Thanks in advance! :)

@Missgoldilocks that is really cruel getting your hopes up like that for an appointment. I'm sure January will be here before we know it though. Fingers crossed you never have to even go to the appointment though 🤞 x

@Missgoldilocks my turn for being away for a few days. Was just so nice to be away as a family not thinking about stuff. Sorry that af got you too. Any news on your appointment? Blood test for me tomorrow then will be on the phone to the doctors next week to see what the next stage will be for me x

@Missgoldilocks just checking in, so sorry about your mum but glad it hasn't spread and all is okay ♥️

Hope you're all doing well.

Little sonny is 7 weeks on Sunday 😍

Currently laying on me as going through a clingy stage! Xx

@AmesK oh sorry here is me going on about how I don't know how people get through it with their first and I'm so sorry that you are going through it because I wouldn't wish this on anyone it is so so hard. It is exhausting I feel you on that one! Have you been to the doctor or had any tests done? This thread has gone a bit quieter as late with a few BFP recently but those BFPs had been trying a long time too so was great to see. This thread has definitely been getting me through and sometimes it is just good to know your not alone. Really hope your BFP comes soon too xx

@Danni2020 I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage hun, but I'm glad that you are keeping positive and have your lovely 3 year old to keep you going. It is a long and tough journey isn't it?
I like your advice about looking for the positives and its great that your cycles seem to be settling in amongst all the low thyroid issues. Sending you lots of love and baby dust!

The journey has been pretty brutal for me tbh. TTC my first for 2 years with not a hint of a line anywhere. Its exhausting!

Well af showed up for me today 2 days late but I'm taking it as a positive as hoping my cycle is going back to being a little bit longer and back to where it was pre thyroid levels. It is apparently the luteal phase that under active thyroid can affect making it shorter so I'm definitely taking my 2 days later period as a positive I have to look for positives otherwise I will go mad! Hope everyone is ok has been very quiet on here this week hoping some people are still out there x

@AmesK I feel like a long time veteran into this TTC journey. I'm 18 months trying since a miscarriage. I do have an under active thyroid though which I'm hoping has gone back to normal levels next week after another blood test. I have a child though who is 3 so he keeps me going I honestly don't know how people do this first time round so I try to look for the positives. How about you?

@Danni2020 Thanks for this! I think you’re right, I never know what my body is doing and all this ‘symptom spotting’ just ends up driving me mad! I end up on hour long desperate internet searches looking for someone somewhere who had the exact same symptoms as me and got their BFP and it’s been a massive waste of my time so far as clearly no BFP

Hope this cycle is your cycle though!! Whereabouts are you in the journey? XX

@AmesK just to say I have been TTC for a long time now and every cycle I have many different things going on. Some cycles no sore boobs or cramps other cycles really sore and lots of cramps and twinges so I have stopped looking for any symptoms now really as I don't think there is any clear pattern and from what I have read online it is same for others too. Unfortunately this TTC business is just torture during the TWW. I think your never out though until af shows up though so fingers crossed for you x

Anyone mind me joining with a quick question?

I just wanted to know if the general ‘rule’ (I know this is not a hard and fast thing) is that the symptoms you get when you have a BFP are different to when you’re waiting for AF to arrive?
So lots of people have said on the forums that they felt AF was coming only to get a BFP but some have said they had nothing and then get a BFP, although they usually have AF type symptoms.

So I guess my very confusing question is that as I normally get AF type pains etc a week before AF, does that mean I’ll likely only get a BFP on the month I don’t notice any such symptoms and that I’m out again this month as I am having the pre AF cramps?

(A medal to anyone who can understand this post ) xx

Well still no af for me today which is very strange my last cycles have all been 26 days and occasionally 27 but haven't been over that all this year. Definitely tormenting me now!! X

@LAnna20 af is tormenting next this cycle not arrived today took a test but it's negative so just waiting for it now. Just wish it would hurry up and arrive to get it out the way again! X

@Missgoldilocks that's great news about your appointment. When did you first contact them to get on the list? X
@Danni2020 hope AF didn't arrive for you? Mine arrived although I knew it was going to this month so just trying to focus on next month now . We will get there x

@Missgoldilocks glad your appointment is being moved up that is amazing news! Really hope you get some answers. My af is definitely about to arrive can just tell so that's me out another month. Oh well. Have another blood test on the 26th and if my levels are finally where they should be also going to be asked to be referred for further tests etc. They just won't do anything else until my thyroid level is where it should be which is very frustrating. It should hopefully be sorted this time though x
