Baby Bandwagon March TTC

@cf8899 It is hard. It's very difficult when you want something so much! Fingers crossed for you, keep me updated xx

@Confused678866 trying to stay hopeful it's so hard tho :( i might test again in the morning with fu xx

@Annannanna I've always had a 10day LP. I quite often had the odd spotting day right before AF would show. But now I spot from 7/8dpo on and off until AF shows. I got pregnant in nov 2017 and had mmc, then 3 months later fell pregnant in March and had my 1st in December. Then fell pregnant unplanned with baby number 2 who was born just under a year ago, so I had my first proper period since November 2017, in October 2020! 😂 so this is my 5th cycle, but 6th periods and all have been different. (I guess as my body is adjusting back to normal) I'm hoping my new normal is a 12day LP.

@Cakelaur do you usually have a short luteal phase? X

I'm the same, I have been spotting slightly for 2 days. This has happened for the last few months and has always led to AF but I can't help but cling to the slight bit of hope x

Think I'm gonna go and have a hot bath and will AF to come! On the plus side. This month I had a 12/13 day LP!!

Does anyone think spotting is an issue?

Sorry... meant to add... the red spotting stopped. It was just on wiping... now nothing (that was about 6hrs ago)

Hi hun everyone!! Sorry! Such a manic day at work!

So update on me! Absolutely nothing to report. Now 3 days late! Didn't bother testing this morning! Got a dash of red spotting this afternoon. Assumed it was AF (🎉🎉🎉) my temp is slowly dropping. But still well above coverline! I'm totally bored and fed up!! I should be half way through my period by now and well on my way to planning next months fertile week!! I'm not going to test until Friday. I'm not even sure what I do if no AF but Friday and then I get a bfn?! I'm pretty certain I ovulate as I do bbt... is it even a thing, to ovulate and then not get a period?! 🤯

@WillowRose1411 I'm exactly the same as you. Even though I'm no longer feeling hopeful this month, I'm still clinging on to things and I'll be crushed when AF arrives for a day or two, I always am! Xx

@cf8899 Yes definitely remain hopeful, AF isn't here so you're not out yet. See how you go over the next couple of days xx

@Confused678866 gonna try keep hopeful, I honestly think I'm seeing things because the lines on the easy at home strips are soo soo faint. I'll take another test in the morning and see

@WillowRose1411 Don't count yourself out yet, 12DPO is still pretty early and lots of people don't get their BFP's until a few days later xx

@cf8899 11DPO is still pretty early though! I've seen lots of people saying they haven't got their BFP's until like 16/17 DPO xx

@Cakelaur any news for us? X

Yeah I still have another frer and a few easy at home, I'm not really sure but I know I got my peak smiley on the 2nd so I'm guessing I ovulated the next day which would make me 11dpo xx

@cf8899 Also, you're not out until AF shows which hopefully she doesn't. I'm feeling a bit deflated today after a BFN on FRER but I'm only 9DPO. I'm trying to pick my mood up and telling myself I'm not out until AF shows xx

@cf8899 How many DPO do you think you are? Just asking because I'd say you probably need to use FMU. Do you have anymore tests left for the next couple of days? Xx

@Confused678866 bfn on frer, so confusing I'm not sure if that's me out yet or not. The easy at home ones still have a faint line

@cf8899 Oh let me know please!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

@Confused678866 I have just bought some just now going to test when I'm home 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I'm soo inpatient 🤣 xx

@cf8899 First response early response are usually what people suggest. They say that they can give a positive result up to 6 days sooner. Obviously it's always better to wait I would try those if I was in your position! Xx

@Confused678866 do you know what the best pregnancy test to buy would be? I'm usually the easy at home ones and getting very faint positives I wonder if I bought a different one if would give me a clearer result?

AF got me today, which was expected after my BFN. My cycles are clock work which is the only good thing I suppose.

So yeah, CD1 for me. I wanted to skip this cycle of TTC as I didnt want a December bday so close to xmas but DH wants to keep trying so I suppose it not just up to me.

Congratulations to the faint positives out there! Hope they turn dark for you ladies

@cf8899 We started trying in January so I'm only on my third cycle. Fell pregnant in my first month though with baby number 1 so I'm not used to all doing this waiting! 😂
So sorry to hear about your miscarriage and chemical, that must have been very tough. Don't blame you for taking some time off from it all, I think it's needed! Xx
