Hoping for a BFP October/November

6 or 7dpo today, depending when I’m counting it from since I missed my peak. I’m off work on Wednesday so I’m thinking of trying (and probably failing) to hold off until then to test when I won’t need to go to work straight after in case I am.

My biggest giveaway last time was my boobs felt full when I was in the shower, I think that was only 2 or 3 days before I got me BFP so there’s time yet.

AF has arrived on 6 and 8 dpo the last few months although I ovulated early this time, I could be lucky if I’m still in the game by Wednesday 🤞🏼

@Bluelightbaby aww hope not 😞 that’s so hard going. Do you think the first one was implantation or something? Our bodies can be so confusing. I’ve been having extremely heavy periods since coming off the pill, like (gross😑) I would go to insert a tampon and a huge pool of blood would come out. It went all over the bathroom floor the last time, it was horrific. I had to constantly change it to the point I just used pads on the days I was in the house but had to go and change my trousers multiple times (luckily at home alone) because they were soaked through with blood. I don’t know if that’s all tied in with the short LP thing or maybe even I’ve been conceiving and it’s been clearing it away every month before it’s got a chance to implant, I have no idea 😔

@Surreymumma awww congratulations 🥳 💕

I believe I might of had another miscarriage.

last month I had a strange cycle where I had my ‘period’ an entire seven days early and it was only 3-4 days and very light.

for following weeks felt very fatigued and nauseated and pre-synacable at times - so bad that a few days ago I visit the GP and had a full blood work up done

then a few days go I started bleeding (assumed period) but extremely heavy with huge clots and cramping.

my partner gave me IV fluids last night as I felt so weak and hypotensive

have an appt with GP next week to review bloods and will mention this bleeding

Hi, been a little quiet, been struggling like crazy this month and my anxiety is at it's peak on whether this will ever happen for me again or not...I've decided on going back to OPK testing this month, CD11 today so shouldn't have peaked yet. Hope everyone else is doing okay and fingers crossed this is our month. Absolutely hating the lack of control over this xx

Looks positive @Surreymumma congratulations

AF due today, not appeared yet. Boobs still a bit tender.
seeing GP shortly, nothing to do with fertility however. Bloody tonsillitis

@Vikki7 I had the same last cycle. Had spotting from Tuesday evening and wasn't due AF until the following Monday. Unfortunately my AF started early 😞 I hope it is implantation spotting for you xx

@Daisy155 thank you xx

Thank you 🥰

@Surreymumma looks positive to me 🥰 congrats

Hi, is this a positive please?

Should second line be closer to the first one? Seems far across. Im very excited but don't want to get ahead of myself lol. Thanks x

@Vikki7 i think it is most commonly light spotting with dark brown blood but can be heavier at times for some people I think. You will be able to tell by the morning whether it’s AF or not, hopefully not!

@BCxx I thought that too but the amount is much more than spotting. It's like I'm starting AF but I have a regular 28-30 day cycles and I'm only on cd 22. Much too early for AF. It hasn't been just the once, it's been there since about 12pm today. Tested with a HPT again tonight just in case and definitely a BFN, stark white. Not sure what's going on. Sometimes I'll get spotting a few days before AF but never have the amount I'm having now.

@Vikki7 i think that sounds like it could be implantation if it’s just a tiny amount of blood causing it?

@staceymarieox thank you so much I am also wishing you a BFP.

I hope you get the strength to wait and test later, its truly easier said than done 😅but you got this and enjoy yourself on Sunday! xx

@Daisy155 Thank you! I'm hoping it is BFP coming but really trying not to get too excited! cramping still going on and is exactly like AF cramps and i keep peeing a lot more now and always shocked when there's no sign of AF! got a wedding to go to Sunday so want to try and not test now until Saturday or Sunday morning but I know I'll cave and still be gutted if its negative!

Took my bra off not long ago to try a new one on and my breasts felt like numb but also heavy, tenderness back and its in my back as well now kind of like a flu ache? never usually suffer with breast tenderness for AF so really lost at this point! 😂

Hope your TWW flies by for you and that you get the result you want! 😃

Hello ladies, popping in to catch up as it's that time again! I'm 10dpo, had a weird month. I confirmed O by BBT but negative Proov pdg tests from 7-10dpp and way lower progesterone than last cycle despite seed cycling and using progesterone oil this time.

Now I've just had brown discharge it filled about 1/2 a pad. Much more than spotting. I was only wearing a pad coz I was having violent sneezing and after 2 children, muscles are a bit weaker than what they should be...!

Any thoughts on why I'd get brown discharge/old blood at 10dpo (BFN this AM with FMU.

@Salpforyou so sorry for your loss in August and thank you so much for sharing such a lovely beautiful message, I hope you are well too lovely 💕

@My2boysaremyworld I hope you are holding up well sorry it would have been your baby’s birthday sending you lots of love

@staceymarieox sounds promising especially tender breast!!

The TWW starts tomorrow for me fingers crossed for me and everyone else xx

Hey ladies! Hope everyone is doing okay?

I've had another weird cycle this month. So came off pill in August maybe around the 15th, had a period/withdrawal bleed at the start of September, 32 days later AF started properly although I had had almost a week of extremely light spotting. Fast forward to now and I still haven't had AF this month, my app that I use to track only gives an average estimate of AF due date which is at 30 days, but even based on previous AF I am now 5 days late!

I took an ovulation test on a whim about 3 days ago and have kept it up twice a day for the last few days I seemed to have caught the end of a spike in LH by the look of the tests, and now it's too faint to consider it still being ovulation.

All PG tests have been negative although I don't know if there is a shadowy line on one I took this morning. Yesterday I started cramping again, mainly on one side or central around the ovary area so confused as to if its AF coming or implantation?! Still no sign of AF at all not even spotting! But have been very up and down with moods and when the cramps started yesterday my breasts went very tender, they aren't so much right now but last night they were!

Anyone had anything like this before? I'm sure either DS I had a longer cycle when I got my BFP but I can't really say I had any symptoms I just felt so nervous the day we did the digital to confirm positive and that's all I remember 🤣🤦‍♀️

You’ll all think I’m crazy but I just had the most bizarre feeling. I was lying down in bed for 2 minutes with my toddler running about my room. I all of a sudden had a feeling in my stomach and the only thing I can compare it to was when I was pregnant and my son was pushing his arm or foot right up against my skin. I put my hand down and there was an actual hard thing there then it went. Very bizarre 🤔 I’m sure it was just my stomach or something and clearly even if I am pregnant it wasn’t a baby 😂 but between that and the date of when a potential baby being conceived 4th nov, the exact same date as my last period 2 years ago when I conceived my son and had to always say that date at scans, I will be very weirded out this month if it’s it 😂

Is anyone able to help me with bbt? It’s the first month I’m doing it!

I’m 8dpo and today and yesterday I’ve seen a drop but not below the cover line. Can you have a slow decline to AF as I’d read you tend to drop 2 days before? My LP is usually 13-14 days! Am I out because I’m dropping or is it ok because I’m still above cover line? I’ve been having some cramps the last few days, more stronger today!

@Bluelightbaby yes I take conceive plus, plus extras for higher doses

@Bluelightbaby i don't, but I've just started on a few different vitamins in the higher doses for their specific benefits. Starflower oil, vitamin b6 and vitamin c in the higher doses and then folic acid which I've been taking ages anyway . I'm going to see how I go with them. I bought my OH the male conception vitamin because I don't think I could convince him to take a load of individual ones.

Does anyone take conceive plus meds ?

@Salpforyou so very sorry for your loss.
Thank you for your kind words. Really needed them today. Each cycle feels more difficult than the one before and each BFN chips away at the belief that it will only be a matter of time before I get my BFP and a successful full term pregnancy. Harder still when my DH already has children from his first marriage. He tries so hard to keep my spirits up; he’s amazing and I’m probably wrong but sometimes it feels like only those who are physically going through this every month truly understand the heartache when your body doesn’t do what you want it to over and over again.

Wishing everyone here a BFP very soon x
