Having very light brown discharge today. I'm around 7-8dpo and never have this. Could it be IB?
Has anyone else had this, but ended up to be something different?

@Dixywitch19 I think I see it. Tentative congratulations 😁😁

Morning @Noirberry19
So I thought I’d waste my last frer today... and there’s a second line! It’s so faint but got pink to it and came up within a couple mins! Can you see it?! I’ve added an inverted one too 😂
Xxx

@Dixywitch19
Mine was 34 days last month and I'm on cd34 today, but normally 31 🙄 pissing me off now. Was hoping it would be on time because got to call clinic for appt on cd1 and I'm off tomorrow and Tuesday, so Sod's law, it'll be Wednesday 😴 fed up of it all.

Omg, just to make it even worse for you. I've never seen another line like that before. Hope you're ok. So shit having irregular cycles and not knowing when the bloody thing will turn up. Especially with the torture of the abnormal symptoms xxx

OP posts:
Dixywitch19 · 22/11/2020 20:19

Yeah I totally feel you! Sick of it now.
My last cycle was 36 days and this is cd37. So I’m more annoyed now when I realised that 😂 mine are irregular which is why I thought I’d ovulated around Halloween (going from cm)

Yeah I did another with same wee and it was stark white 😂 xxx

@Dixywitch19

Still nothing for me either 😩 getting so annoyed now. I did a test today and bfn, so just want af now so I can get on with next treatment!!

Omg! Never seen that before. Have you done any others?? Xxx

Morning @Noirberry19
Had awful belly ache last couple days
Still nothing on pg tests tho I had one test that is purely out to get me, with a second line directly next to the control line the bastard 😂😂

See attached if you want to laugh at my misfortune 😂

@Dixywitch19

Awww I'm sorry. 😩
Had a few cramps today, but still nothing. I'm almost certain it will show at some point.
Hope you're ok. Be kind to yourself. Hope we all have luck this cycle 😌 xxx

Dixywitch19 · 20/11/2020 20:30

I’ve been wrapped up in my pyjamas since 6.30 with realllllly awful cramps , enough to take my breath away so I have a feeling af is on her way!

Hope you have a lovely time tonight! Xx

@Dixywitch19

I'm confused too.
Had af type pains yesterday, but nothing at all now and no af 🙃🤔
So annoying. I don't want to test either because can't face another bfn!!
I'm going out for food later so looking forward to something! Hope you're ok? Xxx

@Grumpsy
I know!! So bloody annoying. The one that gets me is the "so and so was told they'd never have kids and they naturally conceived not long after so it will happen just don't think of it".
I'm like ffs 🤦🏻‍♀️ honestly. No idea lol. Literally want to explode in the moment, but I've gone passed it now and have just come to the conclusion that people have NO clue unless they're going through it.
Yep, I second that!
Not too bad thank you. Just wondering when/if af will turn up 🤷🏻‍♀️
How are you today? Xx

OP posts:
Grumpsy · 20/11/2020 12:15

@Noirberry19 I know of anyone gives me any helpful advice such as relax, put your legs up, go for a weekend away, get drink, don’t drink etc etc I’ll scream 😅🙈 I think that’s why I hate talking about it. How are you doing anyway?

Dixywitch19 · 20/11/2020 11:46

Morning @Noirberry19 🌸
Nothing to report tbh, my boobs are absolutely killing but I refuse to test because I know it’ll be a bfn.

No more ovulation signs except boobs hurting and still getting same cm.

How’re you? Xx

Noirberry19 · 19/11/2020 07:24

@Dixywitch19
I know, it is stressful when you feel like you have to at a specific time 😂
I stopped testing too because I think I'm already in too deep with symptom spotting etc. And I think that on top again would stress me more lol.

No more spotting or anything. Just headaches and tiredness, but I think it's just work to be honest. How about you? Anymore signs of ovulation? Xxx

OP posts:
Dixywitch19 · 18/11/2020 23:17

I just keep trying it on with DH just incase I am ovulating 😂😂 I said I wouldn’t test anymore because the pressure is overwhelming if you know you’re ovulating or close to.
We found a few times over the past year if I say oh I’m ovulating, we generally feel so under pressure that we don’t dtd or he can’t finish so I just stopped testing but I feel more overwhelmed than ever now 😂

Have you had any more spotting or anything? Xxx

@Dixywitch19

Oh ffs, so annoying!!!
I know, it's really frustrating just waiting. Every little symptom you're studying and the worst bit of it all is the unknown.
I have twinges again today I don't normally have, but at this point, I'm convinced it's just getting ready for af because I should be due in few days 🤷🏻‍♀️ who knows anymore because I certainly don't 😂🤦🏻‍♀️
Hope you're feeling ok xxx

Dixywitch19 · 18/11/2020 20:56

@Noirberry19 I’m so pissed off today! Had back ache for what feels like ages and cramps too, but loads of wet cm almost EWCM. Tested yesterday BFN.
I just want an answer at this point it’s just purely winding me up, I’m sick of the belly ache 😂
I’ve got sore boobs as of today so I’m wondering if I’m actually going to be ovulating and all the cramps and back ache is my body gearing up to ovulate instead.
Irregular cycles are a twat xx

@Dixywitch19

I know! Just feels like it's still ages away and hate not knowing the outcome.
Home that appointment goes well for you.

I still haven't got any signs of af either, although I never really do until the day of.
Don't have to apologise. It's PG for this world 🤣
Fingers crossed it's still a good sign 🤞🏼🤞🏼 have you taken anymore tests? I haven't. I was tempted yesterday, but couldn't be bothered as thought it would be bfn! (Negative I know). 😂 xxx

@Grumpsy
Really good news. So glad you have an appointment. Feels like you're getting somewhere when you have appts to look forward to.
Aww I know what you mean. It's nice that he's been so kind to you though.
Bless him. He obviously knows what it's like then. Makes all the difference. Hate speaking about it to ppl other than on here because of what ppl say 🤦🏻‍♀️ stupid comments get on my nerves.
Thank you, me too! They've changed my medications for this one. Last one didn't work so they've changed drugs and protocol for this one now 🤞🏼xx

@Noirberry19 I’m feeling ok, better now I’ve got a gynae appointment in December :) how about you?

The embarrassment is more the crying at people. I don’t do crying at people, I find it just makes everyone feel uncomfortable including myself! To be fair I’ve never had quite such a good relationship with a boss, but I think it’s because he’s a decent person to be honest. We also spent a year working in a big programme together before I was promoted into my current role, so we get on well. Also I know he went through something similar with his wife, so I think that helps.

Best of luck with the iui, I really hope it works for you!

Dixywitch19 · 17/11/2020 22:15

@Noirberry19 at least ur on the right path with hospital plans etc. I have a phone appt next week to discuss my scan from 1st Oct and see what they say to go from there.

Still no af here, really really wet though (sorry😂) constantly feeling like I’ve come on but it’s just wetness. Not had much cramping but got nasty back ache - wondering if I’ve actually got a uti because of it 🙄.

Have you tested? Xxx

Noirberry19 · 17/11/2020 17:25

@Grumpsy

I do think it's nicer when someone knows. Although, sometimes I feel like I wish nobody knew.
So glad he was good with you. Nothing to feel embarrassed about, but I do know where you're coming from.
Hope it will work out for you.
How are you feeling today?

@Dixywitch19

How are you feeling today too? Hope you're ok. Any sign of af? Hope not xxx

Sorry been quiet, been to hosp today for appt for another TP.
Going to have another iui this month and if it fails, will be for ivf next year then. All go!

Grumpsy · 16/11/2020 22:50

@Noirberry19 my boss knows, but only because he knew something was up. He asked me to come in to the office not long after we got OHs (bad) results as he knew I wasn’t right and I just cried at him in his office. Luckily, we get in really well but still rather embarrassing. Also I felt like I had to tell him because of the amount of appointments I’ve had over the last year.

He’s the only one who knows at the minute, and he’s really supportive, but he’s the functional director so is part of the senior leadership team.

We’ve not tried iui yet as we have a motility issue, but I’m hoping we can try that if my OHs motility can improve as it should be easier to deal cope with.

@Dixywitch19

No, not yet, but have lost all positivity this cycle. Had upset stomach today, but plays up from time to time anyway, so don't think anything of it and had headache all afternoon, but get them quite a lot anyway. So I guess nothing to report today with my wonderful body that likes to do as it pleases and surprise me each month 😆🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂😂 ask away, no question is too weird on here 😆
How are you feeling now? Xxx

@Grumpsy

I have no idea yet. Although I did tell my manager quite early on because I've been for so many appointments recently, I couldn't get away with it without them knowing. When I had to attend scans for iui, I had to call for an appt on CD1 and as we all know, comes when it pleases so I just had to call on the day. I knew I'd stress a lot more trying to get time off in pm on same day etc.
Haven't told higher management though and won't be unless we're lucky and need to for maternity reasons. 🤞🏼
Injections aren't nice. Don't know what ivf ones will be like, but I had two a day for iui and you just get into the mindset that it's what you have to do to try to get what want. It's shit, but when it's all that's on the table, you just do it. It is rubbish we have to go down these avenues 😌
Luckily though, I didn't have any swelling or bruising and actually felt fine (obviously other than having them). Had a rash after one of them for about half an hour, but it was fine.
Really? I haven't ever had a flu jab. Hope you're ok.
I hope everything will be ok (ish) for you to travel in feb. It's got to get back to some normality soon 🥴
Give you something to look forward to because I know how hard this journey is. Perhaps we won't need ivf. Would be nice to have a natural miracle before that! 🤞🏼 xxx

@Noirberry19 were planning on March, we’re supposed to be going skiing in February (although I’m doubtful it will happen with covid)

Grumpsy · 16/11/2020 21:44

@Noirberry19 it really is. I think I’ve accepted our fate, or I’m starting to. Have you thought about how you’ll fit it on with work if it comes to it, and still be able to give yourself the best chance? I think it’s what I’m dreading most (other than the injections - I’ve got a massive lump from my flu jab still and I had that on Saturday 🙈)

Dixywitch19 · 16/11/2020 21:16

@Noirberry19 have you not come on af either? Any other weird and wonderful things happening to your body? (Never asked that in my life hahaha) xx

@Dixywitch19 oh god, we'll just know that I don't mean to put anything in bold 🥴😂😂

I know, I'm always tempted too, but so sick of it now to see one line 🙄
Hopefully it's still a good sign for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼 haven't come on yet so fingers crossed 🤞🏼😘 xxx

@Grumpsy this will be the same for us. Because of Xmas, it'll be new year. End of jan at earliest going off when my cycle will be! Typically.
Hopefully we will have a miracle before that 🤞🏼
It's so shit waiting and wondering isn't it? Find it so unfair. No wonder I'm an irritable bitch 🤷🏻‍♀️😂
@Dixywitch19 yeah, definitely mentally draining!! Hard bloody work xxx
