Hey everyone moving over from the ttc sept 2024 thread. Very light start to period today. Expect to start tomorrow with negative pregancy tests. Thought id dip my toes in and start a wee thread.

Little bit about me. Im 35 years (soon to be 36 in oct...a birthday bfp would be lovely) been ttc since jan this year. This will now be cycle 10 for me. I have a 8 year old daughter with my ex and had to have ivf/icsi to have her due to his low sperm count. My new partner and i have been together now 2 and a half year and would love to extend our family.

So far i have had day 21 bloods which confirmed that i am ovulating and waiting to hear back regarding his SA results.

Please feel welcome in joining this thread and sending postive pregnancy vibes to all 😍

I’m a bit confused this month had a lower than usual peak on CD12 and now I’ve got light pink when I wipe. Spotting is not usual for me this far away from my period, usually the day or so before if at all. Pre mom puts me at 8dpo (CD 21) with AF due Friday. Trying not to test until Thursday/Friday if my period doesn’t come before then.
Hoping it’s implantation bleeding but not sure it fits with descriptions I’ve read and my cramps etc feel like when I’m due on. 22/23 days would be such a short cycle for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi guys, having thought I was out last week with a negative test at 11DPO I then got my BFP at 14DPO- unfortunately then started bleeding the following day and now lines getting fainter. That means two chemical pregnancies in a row for me 😭 I think I’m going to give it a rest next month now to let my cycle reset, as clearly something not quite right at the moment!
Wishing lots of luck to those who are still waiting to test, and congratulations to all of those with their BFP!

@HNM I can definitley see a line, fingers crossed for you!
@MamaSads congratulations to you!

We are in shock we have been trying for 14 months and not had one positive test the whole time so I don't want to get my hopes up but very happy at the same time. I have done a clear blue too and it says pregnant 1-2 weeks so very early.

HNM · 20/10/2024 09:25

@MamaSads I forgot to tag you, sorry! Oh my gosh congratulations on your digital, what a moment Xx

HNM · 20/10/2024 09:24

I feel like it has some colour to the line but I've just been for a #2 (TMI sorry) and had some light pink/brown on wiping so I feel like AF is on her way which is just savage. I'm not really sure what to think. I was convinced that the sticky brownish CM yesterday was implantation but maybe not. I just feel like should the line be darker if I'm implanting?

Does anyone know how long implantation bleeding normally lasts?
Xx

I did my First Response test this morning and a line came up straight away though it is vvvfaint. I took these pictures quite a while after and the line had faded a little. I'm really not getting my hopes up as AF is due Wednesday so surely the line would be darker? I'm quite disappointed really Xx

@HNM I can definitely see something there but it is faint, you're still in with a chance. Was it very diluted? I'm keeping everything crossed for you xx

MamaSads · 20/10/2024 09:09

Congratulations @Happysoul111 !! That's a big clear line!

I have done an early digital this morning and got this!

@SophieRules hope your okay, it's so hard to not get your hopes up until it's confirmed, keep us posted.
I've just done a test this morning on a tesco cheapie and iv got a line but don't want to get my hopes up. Going to get some clear blues

1 day late. Had sore nipples and "puffy" feeling boobs for a few days, usual night sweats and feeling like I'm going to come on but have had absolutely no sign of AF.

This is strange for me, I usually have some spotting or something to let me know I'm coming on but this month I've had nothing. Zilch!

I've also had weird motion sickness and feel quite stuffy. Don't know whether to test.....

SophieRules · 20/10/2024 08:04

Tested again today with a Premom strip and I’m fairly certain there was a line. I’ve just had a miscarriage so it’s amazing if true but hard to feel super excited, not even telling my husband unless it gets darker. Don’t want to get his hopes up. Good luck to everyone else x

Happysoul111 · 19/10/2024 19:41

@HNM nope not yet I didn't want to get my hopes with, I started getting a bit of cramp too but the ovulation test was a stark positive straight away and is 0.80 which is high for me

Also in the same boat, ovulation is high for me but bfn. I’ll see how next couple of days goes. High ovulation was how I found out I was pregnant last time. Scared to get my hopes up tbh.

Kateb149 · 19/10/2024 20:33

Congrats to everyone with their BFP! 🥳 @HNM everything crossed for you tomorrow 🤞 i’m CD6 and the premom app predicts I’ll ovulate in 9 days. Hoping this will be our lucky 4th cycle! Anyone else in the early stages of their cycle? I’ve just ordered some preseed to see if it helps 😬

HNM · 19/10/2024 19:45

@Happysoul111 I'd say do one, this is how I found out I was pregnant with my little girl. Keep us updated! Xx

@Happysoul111 Have you done a pregnancy test? Xx

HNM · 19/10/2024 19:34

@MamaSads Wow looks at all of those, they look amazing! Keep me posted on how you're feeling, I'll do the test tomorrow morning but I'm anxious as I have some cramping/pulling going on Xx

Happysoul111 · 19/10/2024 19:25

Hi all, congratulations to all that have bfp this month and sending baby dust to those like myself TTC. I'm really confused I'm due my period today an have had brown discharge for the past 5 days. Tonight I have had a tiny bit of pink spotting when pooing but nothing else other than brown discharge. I've done an ovulation test and it's positive but I got a positive ovulation test 12 days ago so surely I can't be ovulating again. Any ideas?

MamaSads · 19/10/2024 19:04

HNM · 19/10/2024 18:57

@MamaSads Ok, good idea, I'll use the First Response in the morning! Do you have any symptoms? Do you have pics of your tests from today? I'm a test addict! Thank you for getting back to me Xx

@HNM fingers crossed for you! Not really any symptoms other than last night I was really hot and woke up at 3am vivid dream hot and thirsty, I drank a litre of water so was very shocked to get a positive on the first response with fmu, I was mainly testing out of habit! Last time it took nearly a year to conceive and this time it's only cycle 2 so I'm very surprised xx

MamaSads · 19/10/2024 18:15

@HNM I think you should use the first response test, personally! I had a negative test yesterday and now I have 4 positive of different sensitivities overnight (I couldn't believe it so I have literally done 4 tests just today which is insane but all positive). Or do the first response tomorrow morning. My due Wednesday too x

HNM · 19/10/2024 18:12

I also did two other pregnancy tests Thursday and Friday and they were completely negative.

HNM · 19/10/2024 18:09

So, here are my ovulation tests from the past 12/13 ish days, the bottom one I've just done - some days I did multiple tests and I didn't write the dates because I didn't want to be too obsessed with it (which I definitely am LOL). The individual pic is the ovulation test I've just done too.

I had a very faint positive this morning on a one step HCG strip test. It's such a skinny test strip though in comparison to other cheap tests I've used before! I also have brown sticky CM... sorry for the TMI. AF is due on Wednesday so I'm just a little confused. I have a First Response test in the bathroom that I'm desperate to use but I don't want to be disappointed.

What do you gals think? Could I just be ovulating really late?
Xx
