TWW Buddies..

I have my early scan on Wednesday and have had my booking appointment through for 8th March so keep everything crossed for me

If it's just been like that for a day @SimplyChic I wouldn't worry, I often get this for a day before AF makes an abrupt entrance. You probably had an anovulatory cycle, so your hormones won't be the same as a normal cycle. Give it a couple of days and see what happens

Since early this morning, the bleeding has been like this when I've wiped a few times during the day.. feel more worried now, especially with no AF for so long. Got some cramps now though a little. How long should I wait for it to get heavy?

@Pitstop1986 I hope you get an answer either way soon, the not knowing is the worst bit because you can't make any future plans either way - keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I finally got through to the dr today to try and make my booking appt - only to find out I apparently have to self refer to the hospital first, which could take 10 working days. Currently wondering what my surgery actually do now, seeing as this has changed in the last 3 years to become my job too...shall I just do my own notes too? 🙄😂

I think that it was a late ovulation for me, I had lots of cm a few days before AF was due and I thought that it was just her preparing to come, but in hindsight that was probably when I ovulated. If that's the case, AF is due tomorrow or Sunday, so hopefully there's not too long before I'm put out of my misery

@Pitstop1986 yes, that is correct. I was also very ill for quite a while around that time and the GP did say it could be a reason for the delay. Blood test I don't have until the 7th of March though and results the 20th.

Wow, you are quite late too. Maybe just late ovulation or something?

@SimplyChic if I remember correctly you haven't had AF since December? That must be such a struggle. I'm 10 days late and really feeling down in the pits about it and feeling like I have allsorts wrong with me. It really is a rollercoaster

@Pitstop1986 how late are you for AF?

Since my update yesterday, I started spotting at about 8am this morning. It has not increased, and its definitely spotting, although it is red and not really had any PMS symptoms. Typical as soon as I see the GP, what a rollercoaster 😅

Still no AF for me... If it's still not here tomorrow I'm going to do another PG test, although I'm not expecting anything exciting. I'm on CD 41 of the longest cycle that I've ever had!

How's everyone else feeling/getting on?

Hi everyone, glad to hear people are still getting BFP's!

Saw the GP today and they've booked me in for a blood test in a couple of week's time, and another appointment in late March to discuss the results. Was a very brief conversation and the poor older gentleman seemed so awkward about it 😆

@Tbark I’m also 32 day cycles so that’s got me excited seeing your scan as I should get something similar 🤞🏼

@MrsL22 that's great news, I'm glad to hear it's all going well for you. I'll keep everything crossed for your scan. I have 32 day cycles and was scanned at 6+2 from LMP so I think I'm slightly behind that so was chuffed to have a little reassurance x

@Tbark I think I’m doing well thank you. I have an early scan next week so hoping we can see something. I’ll be 6+5 from LMP but I think I ovulate late so possibly not quite as far as that. No adverse happenings at the moment so I’m not worried about anything. Clear blue has progressed from 1-2 to 2-3 so I know all is moving in the right direction :).
It’s ace to see your scan - thank you for sharing that.

Hi @MrsL22 !! I'm so sorry I missed your message, how are you getting on?

I'm doing well so far thanks, I had an early scan at 6+2 yesterday (perks of being a midwife!) And I got to see my little bean and heart rate. I've had severe cramps and pain and they can see a lot of free fluid in my pelvis which is likely a bleed from the corpus luteum but it doesn't see to be bothering the little bean at the minute so fingers crossed.

I took a test this morning and there is the faintest line, if you turn the contrast up on the picture you can see it! I’m only 13dpo - is this a good sign?
or am I being too keen?

I was planning to do one of the clear blue ones tomorrow morning as am going away for the weekend until Monday. Are they generally the best ones?

Never... I've always been really regular, every 31 days. I have no idea what caused the late ovulation. I've ordered a female hormone test from forth, which will also look at vitamin deficiencies and thyroid function to see if anything is potentially a problem

Sorry to hear that @Pitstop1986 - have you had AF turn up late like this before?

AF still isn't here... I've given up on testing. Doing an overhaul of my diet and cutting out sugar. It's giving me something else to focus on rather than my loooong cycle. Currently cd 38, so period is one week late!!!

@DancingNancies huge congratulations!!! I'm thrilled for you! What a strong line!

@DancingNancies I’m 5w2d from LMP but I ovulate late so I reckon I’m more like 4w3d

@MrsL22 and @DancingNancies congratulations! Your bfps have made me so happy!

Sorry I went a bit awol, AF was a massive b#*!&h thus cycle and then I wasn't feeling great. Decided to take opks as I was cramping and turns out my LH sure is 5 whole days early. Only dtd once today on the peak day so will see how that goes.

How is everyone?

@Mrsrobinsonx @Downtherabbithole83 thank you!

@MrsL22 how any weeks are you? Fingers crossed for a healthy sticky baby!

@Pitstop1986 has AF arrived for you yet? Mine has arrived today.

CD1… here we go again!

@DancingNancies congratulations ❤️

Congratulations @DancingNancies xx

Exciting. Wishing you the best and hoping for both of us to have sticky babies 🤞🏼🥰
