I'm now having yellow cm... Any ideas? Doesn't smell or anything... Period or implantation 😕🤞

Hi ladies jumping on here 😊

Cycle 5 TTC#1 and currently 3DPO!

Hotmalibu94 · 26/06/2023 20:55

@Poppins2016 stories like this give me hope that I could still be in 😅 thank you!

Poppins2016 · 26/06/2023 20:45

@Hotmalibu94 it was after, I was noticeably late, and that was even after accounting for PCOS! I must have ovulated/implanted late in the cycle. DH and I had just discussed trying for a baby but I recall saying that "this month wouldn't count" because I had "probably already ovulated"... little did I know 🤣

BB2023 · 26/06/2023 20:43

I had another look at my test and still can't see anything on it but for some unknown reason I decided to hold it up to the window. Could def see a line then but I assume this is just an indent seeing as it was 2hrs ago that I did the test?? I know you can't trust the result after the normal waiting time so prob doesn't mean anything. No idea why I decided to hold it up 🤣 Never done that before!
Roll on tomorrow morning so I can test again... or wake up with AF 🤣

Hello! Hope it’s ok if I join :-) I’m currently on 3dpo (I think) on cycle 1 ttc DC3.

Feels very odd being back here - we had a terrible time ttc DC1 that led to an intense journey within the ttc world. I made such fantastic friends back in 2016 when I was experiencing recurrent miscarriages (4 in row). Can’t quite believe I’m here saying ‘hello’ again, but I love the ttc community :-)

Hello and welcome! Wishing you lots of luck on your TTC journey x

@Poppins2016 with your first did you finally test positive the day of your missed AF or after? Fingers crossed you get a BFP when you test again 🤞

@BB2023 fingers crossed AF stays away for both of us 🤞

BB2023 · 26/06/2023 16:55

Hotmalibu94 · 26/06/2023 15:51

@BB2023 yeah because mostly everyon else had positives at 9/10dpo 😂
Who knows, maybe we'll be those women who get late BFPs though!

Haha maybe! I just tested and it was BFN - AF due tomorrow x

It's so frustrating, isn't it 🤣

With my first pregnancy I only got a positive result after my period was due (and I was so convinced that the cramps I before my positive test were my period coming that I went for a hot bath with a big glass of wine 🙄).

Second pregnancy, I tested at 8 dpo in a 'what have I got to lose' moment on Christmas day 2020 because our family Christmas had been cancelled and I thought it would be lovely news to cheer us up if I was pregnant... and I was!

This time around I'm trying to be patient (already tested at 8 dpo yesterday and will try again tomorrow at 10 dpo), but I know the chances are that it'll be a late positive (or not at all...)!

13dpo, I was BFN yesterday so I'm trying to hold off until Thursday now and see if AF arrives in the meantime. She's due Wednesday which would be a 26 day cycle but my last cycle was 24 days so tbh she could arrive any time from now.

I have sore boobs too! It was only sore nipples from 8DPO until yesterday and then since yesterday my whole right boob has joined in the pain 🤣
My body this cycle 🙈 I swear it's never done this much weird shit and I'm sure it's just to mess with me as this is first cycle trying 🤣
I also have terrible back pain, I've had flares of heartburn and I have more CM than usual.

Keep alternating between positive vibes only and just wishing AF would get on with it 😂

It's so difficult when it gets to 12/13 DPO because we just want to know either way by then. Like if AF is coming can it just start already 🤣🤣

I hope you don't mind me joining onto the chat.
I got a faint positive test last night and ran out to get a clearblue one this morning and looks like it was a true positive!
We've been TTC for about 10months now with our second baby.
But suddenly it just feels crazy really that we might be having a second now.

Who is still waiting this month to test?

Congratulations! Xx

12 DPO and a BFN for me...even though I've got sore boobs, am super tired and had crazy dreams last night...all signs for me in a previous pregnancy 🤷‍♀️

I'm in a similar position. 12DPO today, sore boobs. Usually get sore boobs after OV but not normally before AF. Grabbing some tests today so will test tomorrow x

9 dpo and chart is still consistently starting to be triphasic... I think I might be getting a bit too invested/getting my hopes up... 🤔

I'm thinking of getting a box of cheap strip tests rather than pay loads for first response/branded etc.!

I'm wondering whether they're all pretty much the same or whether some are better than others (fewer indent lines etc.)?

Babyplan?
Easy@Home?
Wondfo?

Can anyone recommend anything (available on Amazon)?

Laura7899 · 26/06/2023 10:13

@Kellyaust I see, I really hope you get a positive in a couple of days maybe wait and test again I hope the bleeding stops too. It’s all such a rollercoaster of emotions. I’m holding off on testing until the day after my period is due (this day week) if it doesn’t arrive before - I’ve been burnt too many times in the past

Kellyaust · 26/06/2023 09:09

@Laura7899 it's when you get a false positive result... Some dodgy tests show an indent line when used so you think it's a faint positive then turns out it's not it's just that the indent line is showing when it's shouldn't be

Kellyaust · 26/06/2023 09:08

@CinderRosie I posted it on another thread and everyone said there's no colour to it... Its really hard for me to tell with the pains I would say AF but this is my first cycle since my miscarriage in early may so I've had constant pain since I ovulated 🤦‍♀️ I've never experienced implantation bleeding before so I've no clue about that either... No more blood for now so guess I'll have to just wait it out... My last scan at the hospital 1 week ago showed I still have some clots in my uterus so it's all very confusing.... Its either AF has come a week early... Or those clots are coming loose due to implantation...
