@LucyLoopyLu very odd - I can see the paragraphs on my phone but if I look in my iPad I can't...

I can see the paragraphs! I think the website/ app has been weird recently though

Is it just me or did the paragraphs disappear on that list. They were definitely there when I wrote the post!

Hi all. @hevann fingers crossed for you 🤞

I'm CD 32 today. I thought AF would be visiting either yesterday or today, I've had the normal cramps etc. so pretty sure it's coming but just driving me mad waiting now. I'm usually between 28 and 31 day cycles, I've had one random 35 day cycle in the past year but I thought it was just a one off.

😑
I bought tests today so might do a boots cheapie tomorrow morning if still no show. I'm sure I am just waiting for AF though. My mood, skin and cramps are all very PMT-y. But not even a spot so far

DanceWithYourBalloon · 16/05/2022 19:21

@WingingIt09 just for your list my edd is currently Jan 16th 😊

lj2022 · 16/05/2022 17:59

@hevann well fingers crossed for you! It's so hard so early on to know what's normal for our bodies. My cycles regulated right away (well so I thought) and this month my AF was completely different and back to the way it used to be years ago before contraception but I wasn't expecting it as I just assumed my body was regulated already.

HippeePrincess · 16/05/2022 16:05

@hevann I’ve had spotting around the time my period was sore with all pregnancies so yes you’re not out yet in my opinion. I’d be busting out the frer if I were you!

hevann · 16/05/2022 13:03

@dearhummingbirds I've been Googling too. All the signs point to implantation but I just don't know 🤷🏻‍♀️ I might test again later. x

@lj2022 I usually only spot the night before which is how I know AF is coming but no more than that. It's still the same now. I came off the pill in January, had withdrawal in Feb & proper period beginning of March & they have been regular each month since (I know it's not many months! But it feels like it! Lol!) x

lj2022 · 16/05/2022 12:15

@hevann do you ever get spotting before periods ? I have short cycles and typically spot 2 days before AF. How long have you been off contraception? Keeping my fingers crossed it is implantation for you 🤞

dearhummingbirds · 16/05/2022 12:00

@hevann having a Google around, definitely seems like it’s possible! Spotting can also be a sign of implantation can’t it. I don’t think you’re out of the game just yet! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

hevann · 16/05/2022 11:10

TMI alert!

So last night I had a little bit of blood when I wiped which assumed just spotting before period which I usually get. Woke up this morning expecting a full blown period but I'm still just spotting. Could it be implantation this late in the game? 12dpo today. I have 23-25 day cycles so period is due. Am I grasping at straws?! Lol! x

lj2022 · 16/05/2022 10:31

@LaVitesse2022 hope you're okay it's so easy to be disheartened you're so early in your journey so try focus on the fun things you can still do e.g. glass of wine, steak, soft cheeses etc that's how I've got through the last 6 months. The first 3 months I set my expectations so I wasn't disappointed and now I have my day when AF arrives to be sad then power through and try be positive so it doesn't take over my life. It's easier said than done but try enjoy the process

dearhummingbirds · 15/05/2022 20:09

Congratulations @dollface22 and @MrsGrealish

Amazing to see so many BFPs over the past week or so!

@LaVitesse2022 sorry to hear you’re feeling disheartened :( you’re so early on in your journey, I’m sure things will turn around!

Jennifer89 · 15/05/2022 19:47

@dollface22 congrats, that definitely looks positive!

My ovulation stick is showing stronger and pinker on both lines today and I am cycle day 14. Think I was reading it wrong before on cycle day 11.. If I were ttc this day would definitely good time to get to it. 😅

@Cherrymarket thanks. I don't know what's going on as I've had brown spotting and cramping today too. Think my cycle might be a bit messed up 🥴 just what I want as we are TTC! Will just have to see what happens in the next week with temp and OPKs.

@LaVitesse2022 sorry you got a BFN. You're a not out till AF shows!

HippeePrincess · 15/05/2022 19:27

I can’t seem to get on with femometer, free Premom seems great so far, thanks for the suggestions xx

MrsGrealish · 15/05/2022 18:46

@LaVitesse2022 I tested positive with a clearblue ultra early at 10dpo. I have a feeling an FRER wouldn't have shown up coz it's was only a faint line at 12 dpo. It's big and bright now though xx

dollface22 · 15/05/2022 18:32

Oh wow thanks so much for all the congratulations! According to my app I'm 4w2
Not sure how many dp I am! Just know I was 1 day late when I did my test. Xx

Cherrymarket · 15/05/2022 16:23

WingingIt09 · 14/05/2022 19:41

TMI question... but DH and I just DTD (CD6). Period mostly finished CD4, with a small amount of brown spotting yesterday morning on CD5. After DTD there was bright red blood, which has never happened before... should I be concerned? Don't think it could be period blood as it had finished?

Just catching up with the thread! I would say if it happens again go and see your dr. It could be something like cervical ectropian if it keeps happening (not dangerous, just annoying)

also congratulations @MrsGrealish 🥳

I am 6dpo today, sore boobs, cramping and spotting. 🤞🤞🤞

Theawkwardblonde · 15/05/2022 16:23

@HippeePrincess I use Femometer for my opks/tracking, and Flo for a second app. Both free.

LaVitesse2022 · 15/05/2022 16:20

BFN for me just now, feeling down though I know I shouldn't as it's only my first cycle trying. Waiting for AF to arrive on Tuesday, if not I might test again.
