Hello all,

A new cycle unfortunately started for me today. I really thought last cycle was going to be the one but unfortunately not the case and AF has shown her ugly face!

I had an early miscarriage in early September and this was the first cycle back TTC #1

Just wondering if anyone wants to join on the journey this month - always nice to be able to speak to people in the same situation!

Baby dust to all x

@MaryHua thanks lovely. Super confused again tbh as woke up this morning and spottings completely stopped again!

I've not had a proper red/heavy bleed yet. My spotting has just been very on and off the past 2/3 days and ranging from light pink/brown to a darker pink last night, been super light, hardly there most of the time. Super confused!

@rosecbrm ah sorry to hear that.
Sounds like you've got a very supportive husband and a good plan of action in place.
Having had a fertility scan I can confirm that it does bring good peace of mind or at least indicators of anything else that's not quite right so well worth it.
Clearblue digital smiley face tests were accurate and worked well for me, so I'd definitely recommend getting a box to try to see how you get on.
Best of luck next month, will be thinking of you xx

@MaryHua unfortunately I think AF is starting, my spotting has got darker and more regular.

Bought some different conceptions tablets for this month and the clear blue ovulation tests so we'll see how we go with those.

Husband has said if nothing again this month we'll go for a private fertility scan and tests just to rule out anything that could be preventing us from conceiving again since our miscarriage in September.

I can't moan too much as we've only been TTC 4 months and 1 on them we did get pregnant but unfortunately didn't work out. Hopefully it's just a case of my body re-adjusting or something.

Hopefully January is the one - going to stay positive!

Thank you for being there! X

@rosecbrm ah well it's worth while holding off the testing anyway for another day or two to get a more accurate result.
Niggly pulling feelings were what I had too in the days leading up to when AF was due.

You just never know 🤞

@MaryHua yes but when they're wet they're barely noticeable. I haven't done one today as we've come away - good distraction!

I've done a boots early one and I'm sure it's negative but I have bad line eyes! Will do a final test when we get home in a few days - if af doesn't show before then!

I've not been getting period cramps like I usually would, more like niggly pulling feelings! It's hard to know what's going on because I don't know when I ovulated, I'm just going off when I had EWCM! X

MaryHua · 30/12/2023 17:45

So the tests are still giving faint lines? Have you taken a boots one?
You're definitely not out this month... fingers crossed @rosecbrm x

rosecbrm · 30/12/2023 17:37

I've also realised I could be anywhere between 9-12 dpo, we will see! Xx

@MaryHua hey lovely, no af yet! Tests are still giving the same results, not sure what's going on! I imagine af will turn up in the next few days

Thanks for checking in xx

Hi @rosecbrm how are you today lovely? Just catching up on these messages from yesterday.
Very upsetting about the dodgy tests.
Did AF turn up? X

rosecbrm · 29/12/2023 08:01

@Biscuitsarelife1 thank you lovely, I'm not as upset as I thought I would be, just taking it as this month isn't our one!

I've not had any spotting this morning YET but I do think AF will show. I've got some more boots tests that I'll try tomorrow if nothing x

OP posts:
Biscuitsarelife1 · 29/12/2023 07:57

@rosecbrm oh I'm so sorry lovely, that's super bad too on the tests! Perhaps if no sign of AF soon you could try a different brand? X

@Biscuitsarelife1 @MaryHua hello both, no progression since yesterday, I think it's a dodgy batch of tests because when the test is wet it's hardly visible!

OP posts:
Biscuitsarelife1 · 29/12/2023 07:43

@rosecbrm can definitely see lines on those! Let us know how you got on this morning testing xx

MaryHua · 29/12/2023 01:47

@rosecbrm that's most definitely a line!!!
Oh the wait must be excruciating.
Tomorrow you will know. Take care xx

@MaryHua @MaryHua thanks both will do!

These are the tests I've done today, they've obviously dried a lot darker than what I thought I could originally see, I'm pretty sure it's a dodgy batch of tests as my spotting has started again!

Will test again in the morning if AF hasn't showed before x

CD1 - Anyone else?
OP posts:
MaryHua · 28/12/2023 21:29

Oh do keep us posted @rosecbrm - really have everything crossed for that line to get darker for you. Are you using FRER?
Can you estimate how many DPO you might be?
That spotting could very well be implantation bleeding.
Get a good rest tonight and test again in the morning x

Biscuitsarelife1 · 28/12/2023 19:12

@rosecbrm keep us updated! Everything crossed for you

@Biscuitsarelife1 @MaryHua thank you both, my spotting was literally once when wiping and has fully stopped now so I'm a little bit more hopefully again.

I did another test this afternoon and another faint line on that actually dried a lot darker, but could be an evap. Will test in the morning and let you guys know x

Biscuitsarelife1 · 28/12/2023 16:00

@rosecbrm thinking of you lovely. Hope all OK and speak to you when you're ready 🤍

MaryHua · 28/12/2023 15:52

Hi @rosecbrm
I know you may not see this now, but I'm thinking of you.
A very faint line could still be a line and until AF arrives nothing can be ruled out. Have everything crossed for you, but most of all, take the time you need to just step back and look after yourself.
Maybe speak to you in the new year once you've had space.
Take care lovely x

@MaryHua @Biscuitsarelife1 thought I had what was a VVFL on a boots early test and wondfo this morning, but just went to the toilet and had very slight light pink spotting which is what I usually get before AF. Gonna take it as not successful this month 🙁

Going to take a little break from mumsnet, wish you both all the best with your pregnancies! X

I think I'm around 9/10dpo maybe.. no testing yet but cramps & slighty sore boobs, but that's normal for me pre AF anyway! Might test in the morning🤔
