I’m 14dpo today still with very faint positives, but my hcg test came back from yesterday at only 5. I’ve also been spotting very light brown since 11 dpo, and first had a vfl on 12dpo.

not looking good 😌

It arrived this morning 🫠 I was totally convinced this month!
I hate it when our bodies take over our minds!
It was only there when I peed and wiped, just have to see how I am throughout the day.
i am still having the worst cramps, which I never ever suffer with and this is day 4 of them, so tired and nauseous today too x
lets keep in touch :)

Hi Ginger 😊
Same I made posts and no action 😄 also similar.. I ovulated around 9th Dec, period late 2/3days, I have had cramping and nausea the last 2 days, everything I wee I expect to see something but nothing!
i did a cheap pregnancy test and it appeared negative.

this is a first for me I am never late! I follow the flo app too, so completely confused 🫠

any updates with you? 🎄

Hey nope nothing. I ovulated around 4th December. It's now 26th & still absolutely fuck all down there. It's over a week late. I would be so grateful to see my period just so that I can start a new cycle. I have got the doctors on 28th so we will see how that goes. Hope you get either AF or a BFP soon !

Hoping I can join. I tried to start a post of my own but no replies as of yet so jumping on here 😊

I ovulated around 3rd December. Loads of ewcm, solid smiley on clear blue ovulation etc. Ewcm dried up within a day of the solid smiley. I still have no period and negative pregnancy tests so unsure where I stand at the moment. I kind of just want AF to arrive so I can start the next month trying again.

Tentatively saying hello 👋

I also want to add I had an ectopic pregnancy at the start of the year and now only have 1 tube, I'm not sure if it affects being able to get pregnant again though x

@abcdefg2020 you can still conceive after an ectopic. Hoping you get the news you want :)

BussiBop23 · 26/12/2024 15:12

Arrgghh going out of my mind.

We've been TTC for nearly 2 years after a miscarriage with no luck. I'm due on my period today and am normally like clockwork but nothing apart from a brief moment of cramps this morning and a tiny bit of spotting.

Currently, I am at my parent in laws, unable to test as I don't have any, and in the middle of nowhere, so no shops. Also, we are staying here overnight, and the not knowing is killing me 😂🤦‍♀️

Hfair1 · 26/12/2024 12:32

13dpo today and tests this morning were still pretty faint, did another one this afternoon and there was a decent line on a clear blue, but the digital said negative.

did one more lot tonight and it is a bit stronger! Still spotting though… hoping that stops soon as it’s making me so worried about it being a chemical pregnancy

pic attached is tonight’s test

I’m 12dpo today and had have some really light brown spotting last night, some light pink middle of today and some light brown again tonight. Negatives on tests this morning, but just did a FRER before bed and I see a vvvvvvfl. I did two different FRER to see if it was an indent and it’s on both as well as the fainted line ever on the pregmate one.

Thoughts? 🙏

I can def see the start of something there!! Have you had anymore spotting since yesterday? Maybe take another test tomorrow to see if there's any progression? Fingers crossed for you!!

@abcdefg2020
I’m unsure if having 1 tube impacts getting pregnant but I would take a test today if AF doesn’t arrive then you know for sure then ❤️

Hi ladies ❤️ I'm a day before my period and I just feel something is weird, we're not actively trying and use the pull out method which I know it not 100%. I already have 2 beautiful babies who are now 3 and 2 (on the 30th). Just wanted to speak to someone about it cos I am actually so scared if I am...

Really sorry to hear that @Sunch but hopefully a bit of closure before Christmas for you. Hope your cycle gets back to normal ASAP and maybe see you in the Jan thread 🥰

Hi...continuing on here from the last thread. AF is 3 days late so I sent my partner to pick up a pregnancy test while he was out doing the Christmas food shop this morning and I got a BFP! This was my 4th cycle TTC no 2, but only the first cycle where I did ovulation testing. Ovulation happened on CD17 which was a bit later than I expected so I'm wondering if we were having sex too early in the previous cycles!

Congratulations @OscarVictorEcho thats lovely news

If you can, I'd recommend a pink dye test - they're much clearer at this early stage if you're unsure.

Here's mine at 9/10DPO on a FRER.

Yes that’s true - I’ll be mindful of that going forward.

MummyV2021 · 23/12/2024 23:38

Oh bless you, it's so confusing isn't it?! And so hard to know what to do for the best. If doing the test will help you then you should but only you can really know for sure. The midwife I spoke to told me that unless there's pain or an unusual amount of blood then waiting is the best thing to do and that doing tests can just drive you crazy. But it's already been a few days since you tested so you might get an answer either way. Would you do an FRER? Best thing would be to stick with a brand you've already used as they all vary so much!

It’s okay - took a test and have confirmation that it’s a BFN. Glad that’s all cleared up. Bob soreness has calmed down too - that’s what got me on this merry go round in the first place lol. Thankyou for your advice.

Hi Ladies, hope you’re having a restful Sunday. I need a little advice please - really confused at the minute.

Funny thing is going on with me this cycle. I came on as usual around the 10th, had a weird period, brown blood although light then two light red period days and then a wierd sort of liquid, not as thick as blood but brownish in colour, all together 5 days (which is how long my periods usually are), thought nothing of it although my periods are normally normal red blood. Then two days later CD7 my boobs/nipples sensitive as hell and sore. I’m on CD13 today and a little light spotting and boobs still killing. Have no idea what’s going on. Took a pregnancy test on CD9 (first pic), then took another yesterday CD12. I’m going to take another on Boxing Day (don’t want additional stress over Christmas).

If you can, I'd recommend a pink dye test - they're much clearer at this early stage if you're unsure.

Here's mine at 9/10DPO on a FRER.

@MummyV2021 I spotted a tiny bit yesterday and again today. I had wanted to wait til after Christmas to test again, but thinking I may need to do it sooner in case something is wrong/right? See previous posts for context

Hi I've been very quiet as been busy with work.
I'm 10dpo not tested yet I've cramps in the middle low down above/behind my pubic bone. (I normally get period pain in my ovary area and never had this ) my lower back is in bits aswell, natural cycles states AF due 26/27
I've been very emotional since Saturday.
I'm tempted to take IC but on the other hand I Dont know if I stand the limbo during Xmas if I get bfn. Has anyone got a bfp 10dpo on IC?
I have no sore boobs like I normally would after after ovulation (confirmed with opk and bbt
I'm praying its our month and would be the best Xmas present to suprise the husband with after another mmc & D&C in October.
❤️

That does sound strange! I can def see something on the FRER! Is there any chance you ovulated later than you thought? I'd expect that positive to be a lot darker than that if your bleeding was implantation bleeding to be honest. For me it could be one of two things - weird cycle with later ovulation than expected or you actually had a chemical which is what your bleeding was and you're still testing slightly positive from that. Definitely test again after Christmas and see where you are and like you say, try not to stress/worry. Will be thinking of you 😘

Thankyou @MummyV2021 - yah it’s a weird one. I’ll wait til after Christmas and deal with it then, but it’s difficult to get out of your mind when your body is doing all sorts. Will let you know how I get on x
