Hey hey, making this thread to lead on from last months. I’m 1 or 2 dpo today and I’m going to try and not symptom spot this month!! Also going to try my best to not test until 12dpo at the earliest!

what DPO are you all?

@MillieKitty thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Praying that they stick, it feels so surreal to see the positive test.

MillieKitty · 03/12/2022 16:15

Omg @Wrenegade !!! So happy for you, massive congratulations ❤️❤️❤️

Wrenegade · 03/12/2022 16:01

@Peeonastick22 so sorry to hear that AF came so early. Have you researched endo at all to see if you have any other symptoms? I’m not sure regarding your other question but I would agree with what @Mortima has said. It is unlikely that the blastocyst had time to implant or travel down the tube in time. How are you feeling today?

@MillieKitty have you had your early scan today? Hope you’re feeling better and have regained an appetite.

I took a break from everything TTC for the last week because since my painful ovulation the cramping hasn’t stopped. I have been very much thinking that the endo has worsened and if I’m honest I have been quite low. However, yesterday and today I had pinky brown CM and today I have a headache so I took a LH test at 9dpo which was very dark so I took an cheapie and a frer which are both bfp!

Measuring 8 weeks and saw a heartbeat today ❤️ looking forward to some bfp's from this thread soon 🤞🏼

Mortima · 03/12/2022 09:57

@Peeonastick22 Can't profess to have any expert knowledge, but I would have thought that your progesterone levels are now too low for your endometrium to be thick enough for implantation, so even if there's a blastocyst it will probably die off in the next few days.
I would probably start testing your LH levels sooner than usual though, in case you end up ovulating earlier than usual. But hopefully this is a one-off wonky cycle and you get back to normal soon

I have a question for anyone who knows a lot about our reproductive systems- I can’t for the life of me find an answer on google

So a period is triggered by our progesterone level dropping, so clearly I’ve had a sudden drop in progesterone at the wrong time for whatever reason

My question is, if I did ovulate when I think I did, around 5/6 days ago, and I happened to have conceived, could that embryo still be travelling down my Fallopian tubes? Or would this period have forced it out?

Not hoping at all as I’ve of course written off this cycle and have logged this as a new one I just hate unanswered questions!

@Mortima i tested on the first day of my period! So just over 2 weeks ago, was stark white, and tested yesterday, also negative, so I don’t think so

I’ll get looked at on Monday, seems like things have stopped now, I’ve even gotten out of bed this afternoon 😂

I really hope you caught your O! Sounds promising to me!

@PPop haha yeah mine tells me I’m always overthinking and need to get off google

OP posts:
PPop · 02/12/2022 11:43

@Mortima fingers crossed for you! I am still testing, DH had troublesome a tooth out yesterday so wasn't too keen on DTD 😂 seems okay today though thankfully!

Anyone else's DH/DP say they are overthinking? 😂

Mortima · 02/12/2022 11:40

@Peeonastick22 There's definitely no way you could have been pregnant? Just thinking that might explain the strange AF date, pain and clotting...I know you got BFN in November, do you remember the last date you tested?
I hope the pain has eased off a bit for you - I would try and see the GP to rule out anything else going on anyway.

@PPop Sorry you're having such a confusing cycle. It's not always straightforward - keep testing and DTD if you can!

I think I'm 2DPO now - might have even noticed ovulation for the first time ever, as I felt a twinge on my left side on Wednesday evening. Managed to coax DH into sex about an hour or so after that, even though he's a bit under the weather, so hopefully managed to catch it.

TMI

It’s definitely not IB, heaviest flow I’ve ever had with massive clots, like as big/bigger than a £2 coin. The most annoying part is that now I have absolutely no clue when I’m going to ovulate 😂 will actually have to be consistent with temping and testing which I find so hard to do!

Fingers crossed it’s a one off anomaly and I don’t have anything sinister going on

OP posts:
PPop · 01/12/2022 11:33

@Peeonastick22 hmm interesting I kinda always assumed it was month about... I am so confused, we had sex Saturday and Tuesday as ovulation is coming up so keeping it going as such but now worried I missed!

Oh that's a bummer, how strange that it's been so early...?!

Peeonastick22 · 01/12/2022 08:53

@MillieKitty its crazy isn’t it!! I’ve been regular all my life and as soon as I’ve started trying things have gone crazy! I’m only on my 4th month

I’ll have to wait and see RE implantation bleeding, although I doubt it this seems to be a decent flow!

OP posts:
MillieKitty · 01/12/2022 08:48

@Peeonastick22 omg that's very early! So sorry to hear that, womens bodies just do what they want don't they! 🤦🏻‍♀️ is it definitely your period? I just see so many stories of implantation bleeding tricking women into thinking AF showed up!

Peeonastick22 · 01/12/2022 08:12

@PPop apparently most women’s bodies favour ovulation on the right, I’m not sure how this would affect OPKs but it’s worth looking into!

looks as though I’ve come on my period 11 days early 😵

Has anyone had this happen before? I’m always so regular 28-29 days! And I had ovulation pains on day 11 and I think I caught the end of my LH spike on day 14.

I haven’t been particularly stressed, no major diet or life changes- I just can’t think why this would happen! Would explain the severe period pains for 3 days though lol

OP posts:
PPop · 30/11/2022 23:43

@Emmalou0607 I could definitely have missed a spike I'm not great at this stuff it seems haha!
Yesterday I had the pain in my side, I did notice some CM it appeared clearly but goopy hope that makes sense 🤦‍♀️ the app keeps telling me I'm gonna ovulate 8th December but as I only recently started tracking it's possible it's wrong and the other app shows 4th December.
I have tested tonight and it seems paler then yesterday. Haven't seen a BBT spike!

It's either happened. Or it's not happened yet... 😂 ah well will keep at it every second day and test twice a day...

Emmalou0607 · 30/11/2022 17:03

@PPop glad you had a lovely time away for your birthday! I can't be much help with the side pain part as I don't think I really feel anything noticeable normally. Is there any. Janice you could have missed the spike on testing?

@Mortima feel for you with the roof! We had similar happen a couple of years ago and it was a nightmare.

@Peeonastick22 hope your pain eases up soon, doesn't sound nice for you at all!

PPop · 30/11/2022 16:58

Oh gosh @Peeonastick22 that sounds awful! Hope you feel better soon!!

@Mortima oh the gits! That is just rotten! Some contractors are just awful (DH is one but I'm proud to say he has a perfect record for turning up/contacting back and waits till the end for payment even though that worries me) not the sort of stress you need!

Thank you I think York is one of my ultimate favourite cities too! Gorgeous place!

I've an ovulation question last month I got pain in my right, so my body has alternated this month pain in my left. That was yesterday so bad I couldn't stand up straight! Same pain I had recognised before but the sticks haven't had a high reading like last month?! I'd attach a photo but it isn't allowing me to get to my most recent 🤦‍♀️

MillieKitty · 30/11/2022 15:37

@Peeonastick22 they were a bit of both tbh, the doctor wasn't very useful, he just prescribed me mebeverine which didn't do anything! Defo try do a urine sample to check for any urine infections

Peeonastick22 · 30/11/2022 14:48

@MillieKitty i mean I can’t rule it out! Only thing is these pains started on Monday and if I’m 6 dpo today that would have been 4dpo
I’ll ask for telephone appt tomorrow and see what they say.

what were your pains like? We’re they more like IBS pains or period pains?

Thanks for the support guys it really helps x

MillieKitty · 30/11/2022 14:34

@Peeonastick22 sorry to hear you're feeling awful :( is it possible you could be more like 6dpo and could be implantation spotting and pain? Can you get a telephone docs appointment instead?

Original poster
Peeonastick22 · 30/11/2022 13:44

@Mortima doc appt was for this, I made it this morning but couldn’t face leaving bed

I only tracked with OPK and symptoms so don’t know exact date but I’m pretty sure I’m 4 or 5dpo

If it carries on until tomorrow I’ll have to suck it up and go to the doctors

OP posts:
Mortima · 30/11/2022 13:21

Sounds utterly miserable @Peeonastick22 - was the doctor's appointment for this, or something unrelated? If it doesn't abate soon maybe you should get some medical advice. How did you track ovulation this month?

Original poster
Peeonastick22 · 30/11/2022 12:13

@Mortima sounds like more than enough attempts to me! GL and FX

sorry to hear about your roof that’s infuriating! Hope you get it sorted and get a response from the tradesmen

I’m honestly in agony I don’t know what to do- cancelled my doc appointment because I couldn’t bring myself to walk there and be prodded and looked at.

This feels like my periods used to when I was 15 and went on the pill to sort it out- just constant awful cramps that paracetamol is barely taking the edge off

I’ve just had some super light spotting and now I’m starting to think am I coming on my period 10 days early?? None of this makes sense I’m only 4-5 dpo

OP posts:
Mortima · 30/11/2022 07:59

Finally got my positive OPK yesterday on CD20, and cracked out the Ferti-lily for the first time - think I got it in the right place eventually but it was a faff, needs more practice I think. Would like to DTD again tonight, but DH has a cold and not sure he'll be up for it.
We've only done it on O-4, O-3, and O-1 - does that seem like enough?

@Peeonastick22 Ugh, it is horrible being a woman sometimes! I hope your pain eases off (and that it ends up being a good sign for you).

@PPop Almost too embarrassing to say really, but I had a leaky roof...got someone to 'fix' it...now I still have a leaky roof, and have handed over £2k to a tradesman who is now evading my calls and emails. I know I have very little chance of recouping it, but will exhaust all options anyway.
Glad you enjoyed York though, it's one of my fave cities.
