@NoisyBee so not all is lost !
Could it be implantation if it was spotting ??
Or do you feel like AF is coming ?

@NoisyBee how long was your LP this cycle ? Xx

I'm 8dpo today so depending if AF starts full flow today or tomorrow as usually have spotting day before. It's usually 11 days ISH

Morning girlies,

@KT199 how are you ? How many dpo ?

@HE93C was this on fmu girl ? I agree with @KT199 hcg only doubles every 48h. When is your period due ??
Try and not read into it too much...

@NoisyBee my friend had a luteal phase " defect " and it turned out to be a lack of vitamin D. Are you taking any ? Because this is easily fixable if it's that don't worry. Also, any LP between 10-14 days is a normal LP!

@littlebluu did AF arrive ??

I’m good, I’m 7DPO today so getting to the itchy point 😂😂 my temps are going wild they’re just rising every day, I know they can’t really suggest anything pregnancy wise until AF is due but I’ve never seen my temps rise like this in all cycles I’ve tracked. So unsure if I could be coming down with something..

How are you?! Has your LH got darker this morning?

Thanks for your message !

I'm taking lots of vitamins.. maybe too many if that's a thing haha. So maybe I need to prioritise.
I'm taking pregnacare for conception, boots folic acid with vitamin D, boots vitamin b complex, vitamin b6 and vitamin c.

Only started taking the pregnacare recently so maybe could be good tos re a full cycle with it. Had randox blood tests CD3 this cycle and all came back normal

Morning!

Oh. Fingers crossed it’s not and could be implantation.

But re: luteal phase, I’ve read Vitamin B6 helps if there is a luteal phase defect. But before taking it, I would recommend discussing with your GP as obviously not everything on the internet is correct. You could also look at buying the proov progesterone tests off of Amazon, these allow you to test your progesterone levels over 4 days in your luteal phase and will say whether you’ve had a weak or strong ovulation, Wonfo also do some which I used last cycle. This would allow you to flag with your GP, as I think they only offer PDG test on CD21 but you could also ask for this too however they only typically use it to confirm your ovulating.

Thank you! I was trying to stay hopeful that it was implantation.. but spotting has got quite a bit heavier since I woke up. All brown but still feels start of AF. I've had a cold the last couple of days so overall feeling really down.

Yes thanks for the recommendation. I have never had a day 21 test so will look into the ones off Amazon before trying to book a GP appointment.

How are you getting on?

KT199 · 30/11/2024 08:33

NoisyBee · 30/11/2024 08:25

Morning all! Started spotting this morning 8dpo so think I am out. My luteal phase has got even shorter.. normally around 10-11 days. Absolutely gutted. Any advice from anyone to try and increase this ? Think it all could be linked to low progesterone which may be also linked the my MMC in August ?

littlebluu · 29/11/2024 18:16

Started very light pink spotting when I wipe and I'm on CD29 which is usually when AF would arrive so I'm assuming thats me defo out and it'll be along any day now 😔 Could always be implantation bleeding but I'm not holding out for that 😅

🤞🤞 for everyone else and more Dino BFP's!

Awww @littlebluu, your not out until AF arrives.. keep us updated 🤞

KT199 · 30/11/2024 08:21

HE93C · 30/11/2024 06:36

Unsure this morning as the line is veryyyy faint and I’m not sure if it’s fainter than yesterday. I dug yesterdays out of the bin but now that’s gone white as if it never happened. 🤷🏽‍♀️

was meant to go to a quite intense gym class this morning but I’ve decided not to go just in case it hinders anything which I know is daft.

I wouldn’t worry too much about their not being progression within 24hrs, I think HCG is meant to double every 48hrs. Strange about the other test though 😟 and you had the clear blue which was positive too. Got my fingers crossed for you, maybe try and pick up some other tests today or do another clear blue? The boots early detection are meant to be similar to the FRER.

Congrats @HE93C i was very optimistic for u after u asked abt CM. Wishing u a good progression line soon. 🥰

Morning ladies!!

Happy Friday, almost the weekend ☺️

I’m feeling really relaxed and calm this time around I don’t know what’s wrong with me 🤣

@Gemmaemilyx hahaha why do we get these urges!!

@littlebluu 8DPO is so early, honestly I think it’s more likely to be negative 8DPO than positive! I think from 10DPO onwards it becomes more likely 🙂

@HE93C well done with the will power, have you had any symptoms do you think?

@NoisyBee Aw no!! Feel better soon, there’s so much going around at the moment!

Thank you ! Just hoping it doesn't mean I'm out ... We will see. Still thinking of holding out testing to Tuesday when I will be 11dpo

littlebluu · 29/11/2024 14:16

Thats definitely a line I see!! 🤭🥳

KT199 · 29/11/2024 13:57

HE93C · 29/11/2024 12:04

Obviously I didn’t wait but I wish I did 😂 i got a VERY faint line on a clear blue early detection so will try and wait till tomorrow or Sunday and do FMU for the next test to see what we think.

thank you all for the lovely messages! And yes I’ve had my nails done in between the two pics 😂

It’s definitely there!! This looks so promising 🫶🏻 keep us updated but I defo think this could be it for you girl, congrats!

p.s love the nails 💅

Sorry to jump back into the thread (still catching up with you guys and sending baby dust!)

This looks VERY similar to how my first faint line showed up on that test when I was 9DPO!

I would say test again tomorrow with FMU as this looks very good to me!

@Gemmaemilyx 😂 I swear this morning I did an LH test as usual and I thought it would be very low again, only to come back 10 min later with an actual reading of 0.58 (baseline for me at 0.18 so I think I will peak tomorrow!)

Ooo, exciting!! Fingers crossed your surge is starting! 🤞

KT199 · 29/11/2024 10:54

HE93C · 29/11/2024 10:28

Girls I failed… I’ve caved.

I’ve just done a test and it looked stark white. I chucked it in the bin and did a bit of sorting and sometime told me to go back and look at it, there is the faintest line ever. It’s probs been about 10 mins or more so I know you’re not meant to leave it that long. It’s also not the FMU so also might not help but I’ve attached a pic to see what you think. It’s slightly darker in real life than the pic but still so faint.

I see it!!! OMG!! 🤞
Time will tell over the next few days, but I’d be peeing on sticks everytime I went to the loo now 🤣
I hope this is your BFP 💕🫶🏻

littlebluu · 29/11/2024 10:46

I agree, if you can, wait for tomorrow's fmu but that's easier said than done 😫 I know I'd be testing every hour.
I did 3 last night after that evap line 😅😅

And yes on the test strips drying completely, Idk how many I've dug out the bathroom bin to check they're still white 😅😅

Mad woman 🤦🏻‍♀️

Lmao girl, my bin has seen me dig stuff out more than put stuff in in the past 5 months

@HE93C im with you there is no way on this earth I’d be waiting until tomorrow 🤣🤣 xxx

Gemmaemilyx · 29/11/2024 10:43

@Lila34830 amazing!!! We’re so close in dates! I find that too as soon as it starts to increase it peaks really fast! I find trying to DTD at the right time the hardest 🤣

we managed to DTD 2 days before peak and 2x day of peak. I’m apprehensive as I’ve just been to gp who’s prescribed antibiotics for BV, pessary for thrush 😩 alongside all the stuff my bloods were low in so I’m not feeling hopeful this month and once I’m back to normal hopefully have a successful pregnancy 🤞🏼
