Hi @PeachLeader and @Melissae
Yep 12DPO!
I'm having the same as you @Melissae however spotting has now turned to dark runny red - think it's just AF turning up early unfortunately!
I need to relax I think 🤣 just overanalysing so much!

Melissae · 20/06/2024 08:35

Morning ladies

I’ve been having cramping and spotting this morning! 12DPO. Possibly the start of AF but I’m not due till Wednesday.

Katamari88 · 20/06/2024 07:48

Morning @PeachLeader - oh no! Here’s hoping for next cycle for you 🤞🏻💜
I have woken up with brown spotting and a wet like feeling, some mild cramps but also diarrhoea sorry tmi 😄. I have absolutely no other systems, usually boobs are super sore before AF but nothing. Wasn’t going to test but couldn’t help myself 😄 BFN! No line whatsoever. Guess I’ll just wait a couple of days now - AF due Sunday, I’m usually pretty regular! 🤞🏻

Hiya , yes onto the next cycle now 🤞🏼 I didn't expect af this early , no symptoms nothing I normally get really crampy but nothing , are you 12dpo today ? I'm exactly like you I tell myself not to test come 7dpo I'm running to pee on a stick first thing in the mornings 😬xx

Morning ladies I'm currently out I've woken up with AF showing her face ! So apparently I had a short cycle this month which I can't complain, I knew I was going to have AF early as I ovulated earlier

@NoisyBee I think because I was sick so bad on my first It did sink in pretty fast , but with my second It didn't sink in at all until the last month that I was going to have 2 children , how are you getting on has the brown blood stopped now? xx

@Melissae AF isn’t due until Saturday so there’s still time 😊 fingers crossed for you!!

Katamari88 · 19/06/2024 18:50

Melissae · 19/06/2024 18:34

Welcome 🤗
Yes the tww is driving me crazy too. Are you doing anything different this cycle, did you track ovulation? Fingers crossed we get our bfp 🤞

Hi @Melissae - yep tracking using premom app and OPK, same as last cycle. We only DTD day before OD and day of so not sure if anything will happen this time. The wait feels like forever! Good luck to you too 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Katamari88 · 19/06/2024 17:03

Hi all, just been reading through your messages as I’m also at 11 DPO - this is my first time trying (and still learning lots!) but the tww is absolutely taking over my mind 🤣 I’m trying to relax but it’s so hard isn’t it! This is our third cycle trying. I have no symptoms yet except no sore breasts at all, which is rare before my period and increased cervical mucus where it’s usually quite dry. Can someone help me decode some of the acronyms for these? I have only grasped a few 😄. Thanks and good luck all!!! 💜x

NoisyBee · 19/06/2024 16:32

@Melissae yes please keep me updated on how your test goes. Fingers crossed for you

@PeachLeader It really hasn't sunk in yet.. I feel whilst the test is still faint and I'm still seeing blood my mind is going to worry! How many weeks were you with your previous pregnancies before it set in and felt real?

Melissae · 19/06/2024 16:29

@YorkshireSunshine
I was wondering how you were getting on, I am also 11DPO. Sorry to hear about the bfn but you’re definitely not out yet. When is af due?? I haven’t tested yet but af due on Wednesday.

YorkshireSunshine · 19/06/2024 16:13

Hope everyone is going ok 😊

I’m 11DPO today, tested yesterday and BFN. I’ve got some potential symptoms but could be PMS of course.

I’m not feeling particularly hopeful though as when I had DS I just felt pregnant and got an early BFP. I haven’t got the “feeling” this month 😕

PeachLeader · 19/06/2024 08:19

@NoisyBee yes it could be , has the reality set in yet , it's a magical feeling ,
I'm alot better this morning I feel I need to be less hard on myself as I can't control what happens , obviously it's just going to take a bit longer , I'm looking forward to next month as where off on our holiday so that's something to take my stressed mind off TTC lol xx

Melissae · 19/06/2024 07:43

I have had nausea and felt really tired for the last week. With my first baby I got bfn on 13dpo then bfp on 14dpo when AF was due!

This time I tracked ovulation so I’ve been really obsessed with symptom spotting haha If I test tomorrow I will keep you updated!

NoisyBee · 19/06/2024 07:13

@Melissae awwh got my fingers crossed for you ! I tests first at 9dpo and saw a faint line so there is definitely hope for you early ! Do you think you have any symptoms ?? ❤️

Melissae · 19/06/2024 07:04

Morning ladies
How is everyone?

Thankyou @NoisyBee ! My AF due in 7 days so I know I should realistically wait till then. My premom app says test tomorrow so will probably do one tomorrow even though it’s early

NoisyBee · 19/06/2024 06:50

@Melissae I will be 14dpo on Friday so seems like a more reasonable day to test anyway .. fingers crossed. When is your AF due ?? Fingers crossed you get a BFP too

Thank you ❤️ I really hope so too. Yeah blood is still brown so hoping it is implantation bleeding like the internet says. How are you feeling ???

PeachLeader · 18/06/2024 21:29

@NoisyBee sorry I was supposed to ask how the docs was , is it still brown ? some people get periods throughout pregnancy so it could be normal for you , I have a feeling it's going be a sticky baby 🤞🏼❤️ this is definitely your time xxx

OP posts:
Melissae · 18/06/2024 21:03

Sounds like a good plan to test Friday. What DPO will you be then? Really hope it sticks for you

I am feeling tired and nauseous, still holding off testing until around 12dpo, even considering waiting till AF due next Tuesday

NoisyBee · 18/06/2024 20:21

@Melissae thanks for checking in with me ! The GP appointment was ok but they didn't give me a test or anything and just said to test again at the weekend to see if it gets darker. The one promising thing they said was if I do come on my period then I can rebook for blood tests so they can investigate my light periods which is good but really don't want to get to that as want the pregnancy to stick. They didn't seem too worried about the brown blood.. but it has got a bit heavier today :( going to try and wait to retest on Friday now if AF doesn't arrive.

How are you doing ??

Melissae · 18/06/2024 19:53

@NoisyBee How are you feeling? How did you your gp appointment go?

10dpo and BFN for me today. I do have some symptoms but I don't know if I always feel this way and I'm just paying attention to them this cycle? I don't remember having symptoms until 5 or 6 weeks with DS but I wasn't paying attention during the TWW as I was super disheartened that month and didn't even think I'd ovulated so who knows?! @PeachLeader sorry to hear you sound quite down today. You're not out until AF arrives but I feel similar to you like I just know I'll have BFN again tomorrow. Sending hugs.

I agree @HRHXO , with my daughter I had absolutely no symptoms until into my 5th week and so I don't really symptom spot. Although I did just 'know' I was pregnant and so this is the feeling I'm waiting for!

@PeachLeader I'm sorry you're feeling so rubbish, it's so understandable and you're not alone xx

HRHXO · 18/06/2024 17:59

@PeachLeader that's so sweet of your partner, glad that cheered you up slightly. It's really hard, only cycle 1 for me but with DS it took 10 cycles so I'm dreading having to do all of that again really. Symptoms are sore/tingly boobs, crampy feelings, lower back ache, super hungry, really tired. Could just be PMS but I think it's all early for PMS for me personally. I don't know. Probably going to wait for AF now!

@Melissae we just get so tuned into our bodies when ttc don't we?! I thought I didn't ovulate the month I concieved my son because I never had a positive OPK, like not even high just all very low. Also my cycles were messed up for ages after coming off the pill they are about 31 to 34 days now but when ttc my first they would be 43 days, 54 day, 62 days, 30 days etc... GP said my cycles should GP back to normal straight away but that definitely wasn't the case for me! I only found out I was pregnant with my son because I was testing LH every single day of my cycle expecting them to be super long and that I'd ovulate on like day 28 or something random lol but when it was suddenly super duper high I did a pregnancy test as well and it was a strong clear positive!

Sorry to hear that. This is why I’m scared to test because I know it’s still early 🫣 That’s completely understandable to notice symptoms more during tww, I feel the same.
What makes you think you didn’t ovulate?
