New to the TWW - with my first it was a semi unplanned pregnancy so didn't experience this!
Anybody else around a similar time? (I think I'm around 5 dpo at the moment)
This is my second cycle but didn't properly go for it last month. Counting down the days until I can test!

@Missnataliex so happy it happened so quickly for you! Well AF is here I was totally bummed out yday but feeling positive today. I ordered some pregnacare of Amazon yday so I'm gonna take them and hopefully it will help! Xx

Missnataliex · 17/05/2021 21:48

@carlsi6 it's crazy because when I had the brown spotting, and I was out drinking Saturday. But just so happy now! Hopefully you get your BFP soon! How are you feeling? Xxxx

carlsi6 · 17/05/2021 21:39

@Missnataliex a few people have said that about going dizzy / light headed! Eek well sending you all the luck! 💕 at least you didn't have to keep at a secret from family too long now 🤣 xx

Missnataliex · 17/05/2021 21:21

@carlsi6 thank you so much! We're so over the moon! Just hoping for a healthy pregnancy🤞 it's so strange, was in the gym last week, bent down to pick up a weight and saw spots and felt so light headed. Had light brown/pink spotting Friday, slight cramps which I'm assuming were implantation? Just feel tired and very tender breasts 🤣

carlsi6 · 17/05/2021 21:01

@Missnataliex do you have any symptoms?! I'm so happy for you xx

Missnataliex · 17/05/2021 20:43

@L1ttleb1t ah sorry to hear that. I'm sending you all the luck! 💕💕

@carlsi6 Thank you. Well, we had a loss last year and then paused during the lockdowns. I have a 5 year old so this is my second pregnancy.

@bethabean Deffo get a FRER - Amazon have them on prime I think? I'm alright - waves of nausea which are not great.

bethabean · 16/05/2021 12:53

@L1ttleb1t yes I would've dtd if I ovulated later so there is definitely a chance I could get a bfp. I'm starting to get my hopes up so need to get a FRER ASAP!

How are you feeling with your pregnancy?! X

carlsi6 · 16/05/2021 12:34

@L1ttleb1t Never mind always next month! How many months have you been TTC? Still so happy for you! Has it sunk in yet? Xx

L1ttleb1t · 16/05/2021 12:05

Hi ladies

@carlsi6 oh I was still hopeful for you when I read your post this morning. Good luck for next month :)

@bethabean I'm sorry you're still in limbo. I agree with getting a FRER and trying again, if you can. It does seem a bit weird AF has gone AWOL. Would you have DTD around the right time if you ovulated later than you thought, maybe?

@ClarenceTheCat Good luck to you next month hun xx

carlsi6 · 16/05/2021 11:58

@ClarenceTheCat bless you. It's so hard isn't it? I think I'm out, flow is much heavier & cramp. I honestly believed the same this month so many symptoms, my cycle was cut short this month so I hope it's longer going forward. Onwards and upwards for us both 🤞🏼 xx

ClarenceTheCat · 16/05/2021 11:44

Hi everyone! I took a week out. I was so positive that last month was it... it's gonna be along few months of waiting. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Starting to test for ovulation now!

@carlsi6 hope you're getting on ok! I hope it is implantation! 💕

@bethabean defo get a FRER! I hope you get your BFP! 💕

carlsi6 · 16/05/2021 11:33

@bethabean maybe try again today? They say always wait 3 days inbetween tests!!

Yeah I'm deffo out this month, it's turned into full flow: Nevermind! 😭🙈

bethabean · 16/05/2021 10:52

@carlsi6 I'm over a week late now but I last did a test a few days ago and it was negative. Thinking I may go and get a first response test and see how that comes up now

I guess you just have to wait and see if the bleeding picks up! If it doesn't, definitely take a testSmile

carlsi6 · 16/05/2021 09:01

Woke up this morning to nothing on the pad still. I would usually use tampons but I'm trying to see how heavy it gets or doesn't!

When I wiped there was quite a bit of blood there, but for 8/9 hours worth it really wasn't a lot in comparison to my usual! So we will see. Suppose all I can do is maybe test in a few days time xx

carlsi6 · 15/05/2021 19:12

Well little update ... I'm really not sure what's going on and whether this is implantation bleeding but I'm gonna try and not get
My hopes up.

I've been bleeding since about 11 ish and I would normally be full flow by now but it hasn't even touched my liner (it's that light I've just put a liner not a pad on) and when I wipe it's a pinkish colour. We will see whether it gets heavier I suppose.

@bethabean fingers crossed lovely. Are you late now? Xx

bethabean · 15/05/2021 18:23

Still no AF and it's so confusing! I usually get sore boobs around when I ovulate until halfway through my period and they started to ache a couple of days ago so who knows what's happening. I'm still so tired and just want to know what's going on with my bodySadI don't want to get my hopes up

I am going to start temperature charting!

carlsi6 · 15/05/2021 15:15

@L1ttleb1t thanks lovely will take a look! Xx

L1ttleb1t · 15/05/2021 14:16

Yeah it's rubbish when you get your hopes up and it doesn't happen. I used a Premom one with the app. This one has bluetooth so it automically sycs with the app and inputs the data. I like it because I don't have to fumble around entering numbers.

www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08399PZV2?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

The app (it's free) told me when I ovulated automatically, so I knew with good reliability when I was due as I always have a 14 day luteal phase.

carlsi6 · 15/05/2021 14:10

@L1ttleb1t Thank you! I just feel so upset because the symptoms I had over the past few days were so strong... I really need to remind myself every month to forget about it 😂 I might temperature chart next month. May I ask what type of thermometer you use xxx

L1ttleb1t · 15/05/2021 14:00

Huge hugs to you, Carlsi6. :( I wouldn't blame you if you needed a bit of a cry. I've had really short months before too - it is worrying when it happens but don't stress too much about it if you can. I only temp charted so I could see when I ovulated - then I knew how many dpo I was. My period app had predicted I would ovulate 3 days later than I actually did in the end. This month was a 25 day cycle for me.
