@HRHXO Same over here. Onto November we go! Here on this journey right beside you xx

HRHXO · 17/10/2023 08:09

@Doveylc thank you 💐

I'm defo out this month my cramps just feel like af now and I'm due tomorrow or Thursday. We go again!

Doveylc · 17/10/2023 07:37

Hi everyone again! Period due tomorrow/Thursdays. Tested earlier and bfn. I really need to stop with the symptom spotting. As my husband says we try again.

@HRHXO sending you a hug.

HRHXO · 16/10/2023 15:05

@Catson ah so sorry to hear that. I'm gutted tbh I really thought we had a good chance this cycle. Oh well, onto the next one we go! Hopefully November is our month!

Catson · 16/10/2023 14:12

Hi @HRHXO I am the same as you. BFN so just waiting for the inevitable so we can start again

HRHXO · 16/10/2023 09:27

Morning ladies, 12dpo today and not even tested. I had my bfp so strong and clear with my son that when I got bfn yesterday I just assumed I am out. We shall see if AF arrives on Wednesday/Thursday. Anyone else feel out after bfn?

JulyT · 16/10/2023 09:07

Thanks for the welcomes @PADonk @Catson @Bl1991 🫶🏼 I had a stabbing pain in my left ovary this morning 4DPO & temp stayed high. Have sneezed a couple of times this morning & I’m feeling a bit stuffed up but I’m probably just getting a cold! Lol. Grasping at straws with the symptoms. I am inputting my BBT into fertility friend, can anyone tell me what the luteal line is for please?

Morning all, and welcome @JulyT! as @Catson says you’ll be too early for pregnancy symptoms but I definitely think there are conception signs so got everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

After a few days of no brown spotting for me it came back yesterday and then, just before bed, I got some red which made for an awful nights sleep. Seems to have disappeared again this morning but it’s just catapulted me right back into a catastrophising anxious mess - need this week to go quickly so I can get to the 6 week scan and just get a sense of if anything’s actually wrong 😓

Welcome @JulyT! Looking forward to keeping you company on the board whilst you wait although it can feel like the longest two weeks ever!

I think I’ve maybe had a speck of implantation bleeding this evening and have been getting hot flashes all evening/afternoon along with itchy eyes (which I’ve read can be from progesterone - has anyone else experienced either of these as I don’t remember it with my first!)

JulyT · 15/10/2023 19:12

@Catson thank you 😊 AF due on the 26th as my cycle is 32 days…but I have only had 1 cycle & I ovulated on CD21 of 32 day cycle & then on this cycle I ovulated on CD19 so this cycle may be shorter. Where are you in your cycle?

Catson · 15/10/2023 18:03

Welcome @JulyT, I would say it is super early for pregnancy symptoms at 2-3dpo, but anything is possible. When are you expecting AF? Hope the tww passes quickly for you

JulyT · 15/10/2023 17:56

Newbie here 👋🏼 TTC baby #1 & cycle #1 I’m 3DPO. Very new to all of this but have been using the CB digital ovulation tests & also tracking BBT. Have had 3 temp rises since ovulation. Cervix is high & open/soft & have white CM…from what I have read on the thousands of threads is that this is looking like pregnancy symptoms but I may just be being over optimistic as it is my first cycle at 37 years old after being on the pill since I was a teen! Also I had lower back ache on 2DPO & nipples are still sore. Really hoping but no idea 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bl1991 · 15/10/2023 08:37

@BB78910 how’re you doing this morning? Keeping everything crossed it’s stayed at bay for you!

I’m 8DPO today and I know it’s still very early but BFN this morning despite me staring at it under a light for 10 minutes, it really does make you crazy doesn’t it!

My BBs have felt a little sore over the past few days and yesterday I had some jelly like CM when checking (not huge amounts) but temp has taken a dip again today to 36.53 (still above cover line but it’s the second day of dips which makes me feel like it’s following its usual pattern).

Just praying for some more symptoms today as that always gives me hope!

good luck all!

BB78910 · 14/10/2023 14:38

@PADonk thanks, just have this feeling of defeat. Why am I even praying that it stops.
hoping your scan goes well on tues!!

@BB78910 ah mate I’m so sorry, I hope you manage to enjoy your trip still and get yourself on the wine. Flights always mess up my system so any chance it’s that? Sending loads of hugs ❤️

@cheeseplease3 ah thank you - I’ve had some spotting and a previous mc so I’m still struggling to believe it might stick. Got an early scan booked next Tues so if that goes ok I’m hoping I’ll be about to let up a bit in terms of the constant knicker checking / intrusive thoughts xx

OP posts:
BB78910 · 14/10/2023 14:23

I got some brown + pink CM, pretty constant tho so im convinced it’s the beginning of my AF. 😞😞😞

cheeseplease3 · 14/10/2023 14:22

@PADonk I forgot to actually say congratulations! I hope everything goes smoothly for you!

PADonk · 14/10/2023 13:45

@cheeseplease3 it was pretty nonexistent again by that point, so I’d convinced myself the egg had been fertilised but just not stuck

OP posts:
cheeseplease3 · 14/10/2023 13:32

@PADonk ahh I think that's the biggest sign I'm out, CM has definitely shifted and non existent (along with other standard AF symptoms). We go again!

PADonk · 14/10/2023 13:04

@cheeseplease3 hey, no - I’d had earlier symptoms, specifically my cm hadn’t dried up like it normally does after ovulation, but zero implantation symptoms and by the time I got my BFP I hadn’t had any signs for days x

OP posts:
cheeseplease3 · 14/10/2023 12:52

@PADonk can ask if you were looking for symptoms when you thought you were out? And still couldn't feel anything? I'm 12DPO and 99.9% sure I'm out but still have a little bit of hope. I find testing more disappointing than my period so will hold out. It's so hard.

Catson · 14/10/2023 10:53

Thank you @PADonk you are only doing what I say to everyone else, I just don't listen to my own advice 😂 not seen those statistics before though so thank you

@Catson @HRHXO this is helpful too: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/Negative-Pregnancy-Test-Before-A-Positive---Stats-Study.html . Promise I’ll stop preaching now 🫢🫣

@Catson oh definitely, and it doesn’t help at all all the forums being full of women who seem to get a blaring BFP at 8dpo. I’ve always found this table really helpful when losing faith - it’s meant to be more accurate than the countdown to pregnancy ones etc as they’re skewed by people being more likely to report positives early than negatives. Hope you all manage to distract yourselves over the weekend ❤️

I know, you're right @PADonk but it's easier said than done isn't it 🙈🙈
