The spotting seems to have stopped now i seem to have alot of cm and "full feeling" in my pelvis/uterus did you get this after ?I'm going to just play it day by day and see what turns up first a bfp or af (acting like its not consuming my every thought).
How have you been since your bfp ?

Edited

Yeses full or heavy feeling in my belly absolutely! And i have been peeing nearly every half hour to 1 hour as well 😅

Erm I'm alright generally, but i have sciatica and bad hips anyway and I think I'm getting a bit of spd or round ligament pain or pelvic gurdle pain or whatever name they're calling it nowadays 🤣🤣🤣 already bought a pregnancy support belt because of my back. And already got a pregnancy pillow for sleeping as well because that is soooo uncomfortable right now as well as insomnia but then again that's normal for me too 😅🤦🏽‍♀️❤️

Well not the same, but i had 2 compeltly different types of implanting with mine, like pink snotty discharge implantation with DD but this time it was more like bright pink blood. And could have easily been mistaken as actual red af blood in low light kind of thing. The only way I knew the first day was I always am quite clotty in AF sorry tmi.
And i was very confused.

Soooo I would say if it's pink/brown and not dripping only when wiping, which even mine pink blood didn't drip only wiping, personally I'd be thinking this could be implanting, fingers crossed for you hun xxxxxxx

@YKM2829 huge congratulations!

Fingerscrossed2025 · 21/01/2025 18:17

I think I'm dpo 11 not tracked but since Saturday I had pains in my pelvis since then its been lower back and pelvis lots of (watery cm) bfn so I fear this is going to be one bad af since losing my son ovulation from the left side has been horrible from ovulation till af so still in limbo of the tww

maple1234 · 19/01/2025 09:04

Please can someone help me? I am probably 9DPO and I got caught by the trap I was trying so hard to avoid 🤣 what does everyone think? I will keep testing unless AF arrives. Am I being crazy??

Defiantly see one on the second picture xxxx

I'm still here with no idea what's going on 🤣 cd28 today, was convinced yesterday AF had arrived and had period type cramps for about 15 mins but then they stopped and there was nothing there! Today no sign either, just (sorry tmi!) clear watery discharge. Still tender boobs at the sides like before I get AF but otherwise feel normal...actually calmer than usual 🤣 wonder if she's just going to show up as a late one 🙄 x

Hmmmmmm, I mean everyone's cycle is different, so I don't know what is normal for you before AF, but when I know I had my implantation pain which was a week Sunday just gone, I had clear watery discharge too. And then I had spotting from the Monday Tuesday and barely anything at all except a bit of like brown discharge on Wednesday, and then it was a bit thicker but otherwise normal discharge when I got my bfp.

But then I don't know if you've tracked your ovulation, as around ovulation time you can also have slightly clearer watery discharge, is it possible you're ovulating late?
If not then I'd say it's a coin toss 🤦🏽‍♀️

Sorry if I've been no help 🤣

The wait is agonising isn't it!

When i had my spotting last week it was from Sunday to Wednesday but still didn't get a clear bfp untill Friday, so as it's still potentially 5 days till AF might still be in a chance xx

Hi everyone 👋
Anyone ttc after c section? I am only 3 months PP and I don't know when we will try for another baby. I don't want to wait to long as my husband is already 46 and I am 37 in 2 months. I had 2 miscarriages before my baby and originally I was OAD but now I feel I want at least one more baby. I don't want my daughter to be alone, but also I really have baby fever 🤣 Maybe it's the hormones, but I would love to have 2 under 2, especially if we get a son, however little girl is also much wanted ♥️ I feel like I am going crazy as I am only 3 months PP and I know it's not recommended to get pregnant for at least a year. I think if I accidentally got pregnant I would be very happy 🤪

... anyone knows to get pregnant with twins? 🫢🫣🤣

Omg I wanna have twins you know i don't know why but I just loads of babies all of a sudden 😅 I'm stopping at 35 so I only have 6 years to pop out this one and one more maybe 2 more who knows 😅😅😅😅😅😅 x

I mean, all your symptoms are very similar to mine and I've had my BFP really clearly at 15dpo but I had faint lines for 4 days before hand with your symptoms, so I wouldn't say it was too early for it to show.

I do see a faint line and I know the camera makes it harder to see than in real life.

Baby dust to you and you're not out untill a proper AF arrives. 🤞🙏❤️

When I say faint I do literally mean like almost invisible is it there type of faints then next thing I knew on Friday it was clear as anything ❤️

Congrats on all the BFPs!! ☺️ tested this morning and BFN for me, but my Flo app says not to test for 5 days until AF is officially late, so if she doesn't appear I'll try again on the weekend. Very weird cycle for me - the spotting I had Thursday-Sunday has completely stopped now instead of turning into AF so not a clue what's going on 🤣

Morning everyone, so lovely to login in and see bfp's for you guys , I think I'm 10dpo ish bfn for me but still early af not due until Saturday so fingers are still very much crossed as me my dh and dd are all September baby's so would be lovely to add another to that

I didn’t get a BFP until 11/12dpo because I assume because I ovulate quite late in my cycle - remember what’s normal for some isn’t normal for everyone!

Sending you baby dust ☺️

YKM2829 · 20/01/2025 09:27

I haven't ever had a chemical, but I'm a extremely anxious person in my old age (29) jokes 🤣🤣🤣 it's new to me anxiety,
And I've been testing every morning so scared the line isn't there anymore or it's so much fainter. And we ended up telling some family we had the bfp, because as you say I just want someone to know that it is real.
Sending all the baby dust for progression 🤞😘

I’m 29 too 😂 maybe it’s something about our age!

Glad I’m not the only one anxious, I’m glad at least I have a busy week with work so it will take my mind off things.

Sending it straight back and thank you for responding ❤️

Morning everyone!

Long story short on 11dpo I had a clear BFP. Now I’m just terrified of a chemical because I had a chemical in November which was heartbreaking and my progression is slow again this time…. I’m trying to trust my body and let it be (although I can’t stop myself testing every waking minute).

Im not sure what I think this message will do, but I want someone in the world except my husband to know I have a BFP even if this does end in a chemical?

Sending you all baby dust and thanks for listening to my ramble!

caved and tested with a FRER this morning at 9dpo - BFN but I feel very off colour so I am secretly still hopeful!

@LovelyKhanum I think it's very personal - I had a CP last month so I said I was going to wait but I've been feeling so off I couldn't resist 😂but I don't find seeing a BFN upsetting so that is probably the thing to consider. I would expect a positive to show by 13DPO? fingers crossed hun xx

LovelyKhanum · 20/01/2025 07:33

Hey ladies, congratulations on the bfps I’m seeing on this thread 🥳

I’m having symptoms… AF not scheduled for another 6 days… but I reckon I am 11-13 dpo (I usually O quite soon after AF) … Have had breast pain coming and going which started 5 days ago, which I think would be rather early for PMS!

Nausea coming and going the last 6 days. So bloated and feeling rotten. More tired than usual, fell asleep randomly at a friend’s house a few days ago lol! So many headaches coming and going for the past 9 days and I never get headaches. Thirsty loads. Feeling chilly, sneezing, sniffles - all coming and going. Crazy dreams.

Watery milky white cm 1 day ago. Usually I’m quite dry before AF.

Trying to hold out on doing a test too soon, but if symptoms are this strong would it make sense to test early? Xx
