2ww

@pennysays Sorry things aren't looking great. Not our until AF comes though!

@J90A Sorry AF is painful, hope it's better today

@2mumlife no line at all today. Temp dropped a bit today and i am a bit crampy, so suspect my period will arrive tonight or tomorrow.

@J90A my period arrives within 48 hours of a temp drop. Has yours come yet?

Hi ladies, so today is OTD for me post-FET and I've got a positive, so entering the cautiously optimistic stage. Still a really long way to go, and wish my clinic was open to do the HCG blood test to check everything is ok, but having to keep the faith that this embryo knows what to do 🤞 🤞 🤞 🤞

@Pinkmini21 Sorry to hear you're out

@pennysays Any line progression?

So AF has arrived, I'm still a little disappointed although deep down I knew. I have also been for my first fertility blood test at the GP...so here we go again. Hope you all have more luck 😊

@Pinkmini21 my most recent time I spotted for a few weeks was I think after my body didn’t ovulate. I didn’t see a spike in bbt after opks were positive so I think I didn’t ovulate and then I spotted for a few weeks. Two weeks later my opk spiked again and then so did my bbt so I definitely did ovulate that time.

Hi all. 13po today. I have a short luteal phase so my period is officially late. My BBT is still high - also never stays high this long. Normally drops at 11dpo or earlier.

I have the SQUINTIEST SQUINTER ever. I’ll test tomorrow and see what happens. Thoughts?

@2mumlife I agree it's too long. I know I'm out just grasping at straws.

@Pinkmini21 Its a long time for spotting... my implantation experience was a chemical so only experience I have, but unlike @MrTumblesEyebrows my chemical implantation bleed lasted 2 maybe 3 days and that was it. Keep fingers crossed

@Pinkmini21 I've read it can go on for a week or so and if it's only light and pink that sounds promising. I know what you mean about not feeling hopeful though!

Hi everyone! Just started the TWW, AF is due on the 12th January.

Not very hopeful this month and I feel like it's going to be a long wait as January always drags anyway :(

@MrTumblesEyebrows thanks. Don't get me wrong I'm not feeling hopefully currently. Can it really go on this long? A week nearly! X

@Pinkmini21 it could be implantation bleeding. I don't want to upset you but when I had brown spotting for days and days it turned out to be a chemical. I hope that's not the case for you

@2mumlife thanks. I'm not on any medication just natural at the moment. But I never spot for this long. I'm expecting disappointment, but I keep looking online and it's driving me mad. I tested early and it was negative which isn't surprising. I guess I'm just wondering if this is encouraging or not x

@Agapanthus13 Totally get you - I really didn't want to go through egg collection a second time. Actually, I found the second egg collection just a lot easier to handle, I think just because I knew what to expect the second time around. I'm also a bit hesitant to test - I just don't have the energy for another negative test.

@Pinkmini21 Implantation bleeding is usually brown and watery and only lasts a short time. Bleeding / spotting is very common though in early pregnancy. Also, if you're on progesterone it can cause cervix irritation and bleeding.

Hey, can I ask your opinion on something... I've been spotting now since Christmas Eve only when I wipe it's a little pink. But it's not constant. I'm not due in until 2nd Jan? Any suggestions as to what it could be. I usually spit 2 days before my period but this is not normal. Thanks x

@2mumlife sorry to hear you’ve been through so much, this whole journey is so cruel. On the plus side, that’s great your body can get pregnant- it will remember how to do it again.

I’m on a FET this time but no frosties left, think that’s why I’m so happy not testing as don’t want to think about going through egg collection etc again. Only this embie survived the thaw so hoping it’s a fighter 🤞🏻

@pennysays Thank you. Whole thing is bollocks - I'm only 32, normal everything. It shouldn't be this damn hard.

@2mumlife you’ve really been through the ringer haven’t you. Sending love. It’s so hard

@J90A I feel you. Sorry about AF. I think my temp dropped today as well so AF probably coming tomorrow. Feeling very gutted about it.

@J90A Sorry to hear AF came. Fingers crossed for next time for you

@Agapanthus13 Unforutnately I've been doing this for a long time now. 4 IUIs (all BFN), 1 fresh transfer (AF came only 5dp5dt, gut wrenching), 1 FET that ended in a chemical pregnancy in June. Another egg collection (freeze all) and this first transfer from the second egg colelction (third transfer overall)

[quote J90A]@Agapanthus13 since June. I only two months left I think.

Temp dropped a lot this morning and AF was there soon as I got up. Don't know how much longer I can take x[/quote]
Really sorry to hear that 😞

@J90A aw I know, it’s so tough with massive lows along the way. You might find speaking to a councillor helps. If you’re currently with a clinic they should have someone you can speak to otherwise your GP might be able to refer you. Hang on in there x
