AF is due on 4th or 5th Aug according to my apps, although last cycle it was like 7 or 8 days late because I've only had 2 periods back since pregnancy and still bf. They are all over the place! Used OPKs this cycle so hopefully more accurate estimate. I think I will wait extra days if AF is late anyway before considering testing in case it's just irregular again!

GinAndBearIt90 · 29/07/2023 15:30

@Tes004 fingers crossed for you! Definitely test again in a couple of days if that CM doesn't progress into AF. I can certainly see something on that test 🤞🤞🤞

Tes004 · 29/07/2023 14:41

@BlossomTree123 ohh I don’t know I have a feeling it was a nasty indent or something - cm a lot more of today but a light brown tmi !!
thinking start if af which to be honest if it is I’d rather just have it full blast and get over with … long arse cycle and I just can’t be doing with the what ifs atm !!
trying to stay positive but I’ve done nothing but cry today - soooo unlike me and couldn’t sleep last night so super tired - x

HelloMoon87 · 29/07/2023 13:01

Glad to hear it's better @missmae x

@HelloMoon87 yes, the bleeding is lighter today thank god! still a bit achey but nothing much 🙏🏼 x

HelloMoon87 · 29/07/2023 12:12

@missmae hope you're feeling brighter today x

BlossomTree123 · 29/07/2023 07:55

@Tes004 I can see it!!! Ahhh amazing!!! I think this is it and maybe you ovulated later!

I am on CD 12 this morning so doing OPK twice a day now. Line is starting to get darker and I had a flashy smiley on digital CB yesterday so plenty of DTD over the next few days I think. According to the apps I would ovulate CD 15/16 where I think I’m probably going to CD 14 so we will see.

have a couple of busy weeks ahead of me so hoping when the 2WW starts it goes very quickly!

missmae · 28/07/2023 22:31

@Tes004 i see it too!! Fingers crossed it keeps progressing for you!🤞🏼🩷

@HelloMoon87 no I’m not, it hasn’t gotten to that stage but back in April for my surgery I bled out during that as well and they gave me something to stop it. But still no one has said that I need anything! I have horrendous lower back pain tonight. Not sure if dtd brought it on or if it’s ovulation or what! Sigh 🙁

Ecgx · 28/07/2023 22:20

Yeah I am feeling like really happy but equally I just want my period date to come and I will be happy to see a digital saying pregnant when that time comes then I will chill a bit! I had an early loss at 5.5 weeks end of May so just want to get past these few weeks! But I’m buzzing about an April baby as my DD is November so she is really a winter baby! Good luck with the ovulation and the tww after fingers crossed this is the one for you! X

HelloMoon87 · 28/07/2023 22:03

@Tes004 I see a line! Was it within the timeframe?

@missmae are you taking medicine for blood clotting?

@longingtobe23 I have no idea why it's early. Maybe it's what is normal for me, but my chemicals kept pushing it to cd 17, it would go to cd 15 after few months and I'd get pregnant and then a chemical... Which supplements are you taking?

@Ecgx how are you feeling?

OP posts:
Ecgx · 28/07/2023 21:42

@Tes004 really hope that line keeps progressing for you!! And no need for tampons or pads on the holiday! Yes me too that’s why I’ve been coming to update threads I’ve been on as I have been that person up in the am still frantically googling looking for positive tests and stories x

Tes004 · 28/07/2023 21:02

Hope so … I go on holidays this weekend and really didn’t want to take any tests or tampons lol !! I guess the cm will either go away or turn into af - either way should know before we leave ,
I always try to post pics hoping it helps the crazies like me who read and Google everything during the ttc journey lol ! So I will definitely keep updating and super excited to start congratulating everyone with their bfp this cycle x

Ecgx · 28/07/2023 20:54

@Tes004 yes I can see something!!! Fingers crossed it was implantion bleeding and this is the start of the BFP quick get out and buy some more or jump on Amazon! X

missmae · 28/07/2023 20:22

@HelloMoon87 really! Gosh you know I should’ve gone with my gut instinct and rebooked it 🤣.
Yes this is true, I am hoping from yesterday it’s still hanging in there. I did have ewcm so I think that also helps! We’ll see. I will relax and see what happens but yes there’s always next cycle! I do have a blood clotting disorder too, it might have something to do with it?! Hopefully it’s calmed down by tomorrow. I guess if I still get a peak opk I can try again but I will just hope for the best lol!

Ncl31 · 28/07/2023 20:12

@Tes004 ah no way.
can you catch some FMU tomorrow then pop out to buy a test? Or wait until Sunday FMU I guess.
FX for you!

Tes004 · 28/07/2023 20:11

@Ncl31 it was my last as well 🙈🙈🤦‍♀️ this month I bet I’ve done 20 tests !!! Arhhhhhhh

Ncl31 · 28/07/2023 20:08

@Tes004 sorry I can definitely see something

Ncl31 · 28/07/2023 20:07

@Tes004 i can’t definitely see something.
do you have any others that you can do in the morning FMU?

Tes004 · 28/07/2023 20:04

@GinAndBearIt90 I thought maybe so I did a cheapo and got this …

@HelloMoon87 i wonder why this cycle it’s come early for us!

I started new supplements but that’s all I can pinpoint - I guess the body does as it wants 😬 I’m half hoping that it doesn’t mean an earlier period though because I’m at a wedding in 2 weeks 🤡

HelloMoon87 · 28/07/2023 19:51

Also sperm stays for up to 5 days, so since you dtd yesterday it is still very much possible you get pregnant. Just let it be and I hope the bleeding and pain stop soon

OP posts:
HelloMoon87 · 28/07/2023 19:50

@missmae oh no. I'm just reading that it's better to not have sex within 24 hours. I'm guessing that it to avoid inflaming it? Don't feel the pressure, it was good to get the smear done and there is always the next cycle. I would just wait until you're fully recovered, and do it next cycle. Sorry to hear it's been painful, it really shouldn't be 😢

OP posts:
missmae · 28/07/2023 19:30

@HelloMoon87 im convinced I’ve messed it up this cycle, I’m bleeding very heavy almost like a period. Tried to dtd and it was a mess and very painful 😰 might be out this month already by the looks of it!

GinAndBearIt90 · 28/07/2023 19:20

@Tes004 could be implantation?

I'm now 7DPO and still on holiday so the first week has flown by. Clearly need to book another holiday for next cycle to distract me when we are properly trying 😂😂 no symptoms or anything to report. First pregnancy I had zero symptoms until 6 weeks when they all hit at once. Second pregnancy I had some distinctive bloating/uneasy tummy feelings in the days running up to AF that I recognised immediately so I knew I was pregnant before testing! Then the bad nausea hit a bit earlier at around 5ish weeks! 🤢

Tes004 · 28/07/2023 17:44

So update ,, had some pink cm today which maybe the start of af tho confused as my last peak on ovulation tests were 7days ago with ewcm etc so I kind of thought I would expect af 10-14 days after if this was in fact my ovulation…. More watching and waiting ! 🙈😞
