Hi all, I have figured out how to create a thread on Mumsnet and here goes... my first one.

This is a continuation of the two (!) full Jan threads so far this month - we're a chatty bunch and happy to welcome new folks. There'll probably be a February thread starting up soon too.

Will tag everyone I can see below... please join if I missed you!

Congratulations @BecLJ! :D

@Nikkic2123 it was Clear Blue one with Weeks indicator (1 - 2 weeks) Flo suggested ovulation was 14 Dec but not sure how to work it out from actual implantation (if it was that, it was just a small amount of brownish blood). I'm a bit clueless on working dates out!

Nikkic2123 · 25/01/2022 13:43

Is your test line faint? How many DPO would you think you are if the spotting was implantation?

BecLJ · 25/01/2022 13:37

@Nikkic2123 yes I could well have done. I was only tracking using the Flo app so don't know for sure!

Nikkic2123 · 25/01/2022 13:27

@Timeaftertime21 @BecLJ
Congrats 🥳

Bec could you have ovulated later?

Lovely start to the new year girls x

BecLJ · 25/01/2022 12:38

Bit of a roller coaster couple of days! What i thought was my AF only lasted a couple of hours. I took a test today just to see and it was a BFP!!!

Im wondering why it was negative on Sunday considering my AF was due on Saturday. Could the bleeding have been implantation? I don't remember it being so complicated with DD!

I'm confused / happy / worried!!!

Timeaftertime21 · 25/01/2022 12:32

Hi ladies,

Sorry I've not been the best at chatting on here. Today is 10dpo and on my 3rd wee of the morning I got this...I'm in shock! The line is pink in reality.

This was 6th cycle but we were a bit more focussed on timings and tried a few tips and tricks and I'm keeping everything crossed 🤞🏻

@rmummyofone congratulations!!!! Literally the same cycle 🎉

madeleine85 · 24/01/2022 21:20

@TheBirdintheCave it’s probably just a one off. The follicular dates can be affected by stress, sickness etc. the luteal barely moves by 1 day. Maybe chalk this one up as a weirdo cycle and know we’ve got everything crossed for you next time x

@rmummyofone congratulations!!!! Lovely bday gift x

@TheBirdintheCave, how frustrating, I'm so sorry! If it helps, I have 10/11 day luteal phase and I've been pregnant a couple of times, so it's not a total disaster... might just be a weird cycle. Sorry love, it's so annoying when there's one more thing to add to the worry list...

@Shortmamashortcycles I have no idea what’s happening. I’m 11dpo yet AF seems to have arrived? There was a speck of spotting last night, a bit this morning and then it seemed AF just began this afternoon. No pain though just light cramps. I am absolutely baffled. How could it have arrived at 11dpo? This has never happened to me before. I had ovulation cramps as usual and AF always arrives 14 days after... except this time apparently not.

It sucks. Now on top of my husbands low motility I seemingly have to worry about my cycles screwing up. Maybe because I’m 35 now? :(

rmummyofone · 24/01/2022 20:10

@BecLJ I'm so sorry :(

madeleine85 · 24/01/2022 20:02

@BecLJ I’m so sorry, that is the actual worst. Hope you’re having a glass of wine and indulging in some self care xx

BecLJ · 24/01/2022 19:47

Thanks @madeleine85, unfortunately my AF arrived today- 3 days late ☹
