ive been having regular unprotected sex this past month and im sure of one time my bf ejaculated in me, so there’s a chance i could be pregnant, my period is to be due in 4/5 days, yesterday i had very very light pink blood when i wiped today the blood is much darker and it’s there when i wipe, also a few drops on my underwear, I’ve put a pad on to keep an eye on the blood and there’s just a tiny blood stain, what do you all think?

I've got 2 beautiful children now! Nothing really after EPU as it was very early and no further action was required for me. I hope all goes well for you 🙏 Merry Christmas and all the best for 2025 x

Hi I’ve started bleeding 9 days eailer from my period my periods are normally super heavy with clots and painful and this bleeding is super super light no clots or pain sometimes not even enough to fill a pantyliner could it be implantation. The blood is quite bright coloured too

happygolucky42 · 10/12/2022 21:45

Hello,
First post so be gentle please!
Came off the mini pill in September as we’re TTC our first (both 34) however have not had a sniff of a period. Had blood tests done and an ultrasound done…doc seems sure I don’t have Pcos as I have healthy follicles and my hormone levels are normal range but yet no sign of period nearly 5 months later?
Was certain I ovulated 14 days ago, (been using opk) and been having cramps, and sicky feeling over the past few days.
So today I have taken a test but it was negative so hoping it’s at least the start of my period returning…
Has anyone else waited this long for AF to return?!
Also i did the test around 4pm so wasn’t the first pee of the day but surely that wouldn’t matter if I was at 14po?
Any guidance would be great, can totally see how this ttc can take over your life 🤯

Hey @KL89 you commented on a thread that hasn't been updated since almost a year, why don't you start your own thread? I'm sure others might help you or share their experience 🙂

KL89 · 07/02/2022 20:37

Hi, I had (what I thought was my period) 2 weeks ago but all last week I was feeling and being sick/ extra tired so decided to do a test and it was positive on cb digital saying 3+ weeks. My concern is it was a med/heavy 5 day period. Anyone else had this??

Confused678866 · 05/04/2021 22:00

@CycloGoose Haha yes, very! This time last cycle I was getting very crampy and had my hopes up. Had cramps for a few days and then AF showed up. I don't usually cramp for several days before AF. Not really experienced that yet this time around but this TTC business drives you around the bend doesn't it! Thank you, good luck to you too! Xx

CycloGoose · 05/04/2021 21:55

Oh wow. That does sound confusing @confused678866 I'll keep my fingers crossed for you xxxxx

Confused678866 · 05/04/2021 21:50

@CycloGoose Oh I'm so sorry, I hope you're okay? That must have been hard! Good luck for this cycle 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I'm not too sure this cycle, my cycles have been 22 days for the last two but previous to that they were 29 and 24 so I'm unsure of where I'm at really. If it's a 22 day cycle, AF would be due on Wednesday but it could be later that that so I really have no clue! 🤣 xx

CycloGoose · 05/04/2021 21:45

I'm okay now @confused678866 thanks for asking. I didn't tag anyone but didn't want to leave the thread unanswered. I had another bleed 2 weeks after the first so I think I miscarried a little later. Now trying again. Have you had any success TTC?
I'm CD10 now ☺️
I wonder how @sarahlees17 @firsttimemummy321 getting on x

Confused678866 · 05/04/2021 21:34

@CycloGoose Hey, so sorry I missed your last message. How are you? Xx

CycloGoose · 22/03/2021 22:09

I've just had blood tests back and HCG only 23 so miscarriage imminent xxx

firsttimemummy321 · 20/03/2021 09:21

@sarahlees17 hope you get some answers soon 🤞🏻 I'm 8dpo and bleeding red so assuming early period but no idea why 😩

CycloGoose · 20/03/2021 07:56

Oh @sarahlees17 I'm sorry. I hope you get some answers soon XXX keep us posted. We're thinking of you xxx

Update: took a test yesterday and BFN. My period is now 5 days late, although I did experience bleeding a week ago i don't believe it was my real period? Bc I didn't even have to wear a pad. I'll test in a few days again and if still neg ill just assume the bleeding was a very light period :(

No idea @shininglight16 I was not expecting a positive result 2 days after what I thought was my period had ended.

Ive got an appointment with the early pregnancy team next Tuesday now but that's because I had heavy bleed and a positive test.

✨✨✨ Baby dust to you xxx

shininglight16 · 17/03/2021 15:23

@Confused678866 @CycloGoose I'm experiencing the same, got 2 negative pregnancy tests but had all the symptoms of early pregnancy such as nausea, fatigue, heavy boobs, nasal congestion. Got my periods yesterday about 4 weeks after I presumably ovulated and some clots as well. Hard to explain but some white flesh/tissue like mixed with blood and I don't get that during my normal periods. Feeling weak and getting pain/cramps on and off. The blood flow is like a proper period and bright red. My boobs don't feel heavy anymore since past week and a lot less today. I'm not sure if this was a chemical pregnancy, is there a way of knowing? Should I do the pregnancy test again? I'm really sad as I'm over 35 and really want 2 kids. I suffer from PCOS so maybe that caused the chemical pregnancy.

CycloGoose · 17/03/2021 13:11

Thank you x

Confused678866 · 17/03/2021 11:37

@CycloGoose Oh I do wish you all the luck in the world. Keeping everything crossed for you xxx

CycloGoose · 17/03/2021 11:22

I've got to get back to my class but I've been referred to early pregnancy unit. She said no way to tell if it's a loss or other early bleeding other than scans and/blood tests
