Hi @Seasaltandgrass, if day 1 was one day post ovulation then today brings you to 15 days meaning that the bleeding is likely to be your period I’m sorry … although it is very hard to stay calm and collected during the two week wait, maybe try and take a step back and don’t forget to enjoy the journey and trust the process a bit as on average it takes 12 months to conceive so it’s totally ok and super common if it doesn’t work 1st time 🫢🏽

@WF1990really hoping for a birthday surprise for you!!

Hi @Seasaltandgrassdo you know when you ovulated and if so how many days past ovulation you are? Some of the symptoms you’ve recorded might be significant if they align with implantation dates. Fingers crossed for you ☺️

WF1990 · 23/07/2025 11:39

@EllieWalessame here ! I convinced myself in the past when I wasn’t pregnant so I think this is why I’m trying to let go of anything I am experiencing and I just pretend it doesn’t exist πŸ˜‚ gosh I am so impatient too, ill be 9dpo tomorrow … I don’t know if I want to test yet ! But it’s my husbands bday on Friday I’d love to tell him I’m pregnant πŸ₯ΉπŸ€žπŸΌ

So im an emotional wreck in my first 2 week wait. Apologies for TMI below. I have been tracking everything. I was feeling optimistic, but not sure now. Looking for some re assurance more than anything.
First cycle after stopping pill | Trying to conceive baby #1
πŸ—“οΈ Tuesday 8th July Day one of the wait. Did the deed so now the waiting game begins for us...Mood: 😐 Calm-ish, hopeful
πŸ—“οΈ Thursday 10th July Did the deed I'm having some lower cramps, and I think I saw some brown discharge starting. Mood: πŸ€” Curious. A bit hopeful.
πŸ—“οΈ Friday 11th July Brown/pink spotting when I wiped today. It's very light, not like a period at all. Mood: πŸ‘€ Watching closely
πŸ—“οΈ Saturday 12th July I stained my knickers with more brown discharge. It's still going. Mood: 🧩 Clues adding up...
πŸ—“οΈ Sunday 13th July We Did the deed. Still spotting later, but it's light. Mood: ⏳ Tense. Wanting confirmation.
πŸ—“οΈ Monday 14th July The discharge seems to have stopped. I'm really tired, and my boobs are starting to hurt. Mood:βš–οΈ Balanced hope. Watching everything.
πŸ—“οΈ Tuesday 15th July My boobs feel full at the top. I'm waking a lot in the night, which isn't usual for me. Mood: 😳 Getting hopeful.
πŸ—“οΈ Wednesday 16th July My boobs are now very sore. I even complained cuddling in bed. My areolas look lighter, and I've noticed little bumps around my nipples. Mood: πŸš€ Hope rising fast.
πŸ—“οΈ Thursday 17th July Still sore boobs, but I'm sleeping better. My mood's been up and down. Tired again today.Mood: πŸ•΅οΈ Quietly optimistic.
πŸ—“οΈ Friday 18th July My nipples were really sore today. Also, I've had a weird tummy feeling near my belly button. No discharge in my underwear. Mood: πŸ“ˆ This could be it.
πŸ—“οΈ Saturday 19th July No real changes today. I had vivid dreams and a restless night. Still no bleeding. Mood: 😬 Nervous patience.
πŸ—“οΈ Sunday 20th July I've got a scratchy throat and woke up sweaty in the night. Still no bleeding. Is this a symptom shift? Mood: πŸ€” Confused, but curious.
πŸ—“οΈ Monday 21st July We had pub lunch, and I crashed asleep in the afternoon. I blamed the sun, but something felt... hormonal. Mood: 😐 Uncertain, waiting.
πŸ—“οΈ Tuesday 22nd July I'm grumpy today. Full boobs again. Then I found brown discharge in my underwear. My mood crashed. Mood: πŸ˜“ Emotional wreck.
πŸ—“οΈ Wednesday 23rd July (today) I woke up scared of staining the bed. I used a tampon, and it came out very dark brown. Then I wiped and saw fresh red β€” only a tiny bit. I asked to test β€” we did, but the test was a dye flood mess. My mood is all over the place. Mood: 🎒 Absolute emotional rollercoaster.

Morning, hi @GrapefruitZest welcome and sorry about your MC hoping this month is the one for you. I’m 7 dpo and spotting every symptom under the sun 🀣 boobs are sore which is unusual for me at this stage, I’m really tired but that’s not unusual for me πŸ˜… I’ve also been having some cramping but I don’t know if that’s abnormal or if I’m just noticing more. I’ve been (incorrectly) absolutely convinced in the past so I’m trying not to read into anything but it’s so hard not to! I’m planning on doing an early response tomorrow morning at 8dpo which I know is nuts but I can’t resist πŸ˜‚ I’m so impatient!

@WF1990 well done for resisting this morning!! @lalalalalala2024 have you tested again this morning?

Really hoping some of us get our BFPs by the end of the week 🀞

WF1990 · 23/07/2025 10:59

@GrapefruitZestim so sorry about your MC 🫢🏽
i think early pregnancy symptoms are very similar to pms because of the rise of progesterone anyways ! I am having the WORST hot flushes I had to set my air con on 19 in the office and I’m sweating πŸ˜‚ could be pregnant / could be overweight 🀣

OP posts:
GrapefruitZest · 23/07/2025 10:01

I know, I’m questioning if I always feel like this right before my period or if it’s different this time! I’m really not too sure about my LP, I had a coil removed earlier this year, either one or two periods after that I got pregnant - I think it was 12 days luteal phase then, and after my MC I think it was 14 days.
That’s good news about your progesterone test!

WF1990 · 23/07/2025 09:45

Welcome @GrapefruitZest!
9dpo is still early though !
i’m 8dpo today, had progesterone test yesterday at 5.6 ng/mg which is apparently just on the minimum required for sustaining a pregnancy very early stage so I shall see if I end up having a bfp !
I totally get you with the symptoms …! My boobs have been so painful but I usually get painful boobs anyways with the rise of progesterone so I don’t know πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ only time will tell !
how long is your luteal phase ? X

OP posts:
GrapefruitZest · 23/07/2025 09:32

Morning ladies, can I join too? I’m 9dpo today and driving myself insane. Had a miscarriage in May and this is our first month trying since. Tested this morning and currently BFN, so either my body is playing tricks on me or it’s too early. I’ve been feeling nauseous for a few days, sore boobs on and off. I had this before my missed period last time I was pregnant, but I’m also symptom spotting like crazy so not sure if it’s in my head! Hope everyone gets their BFP soon!

WF1990 · 23/07/2025 07:30

Morning girls how are we all ?
I don’t know how I had the mental strength to ignore the tests this morning but I did ! Went straight for a wee and then got ready !
how is everybody feeling?
very sore boobs on and off for me, almost like tingly, I can’t remember if I get it that intense usually so I won’t read into it.

OP posts:
WF1990 · 22/07/2025 22:20

thanks guys! These are more pics of the same test and I think it is an indent more than a line ! But I guess you’ll be the first to know when I re test πŸ˜…

I’m also super invested to see what happens! @WF1990 that looks clearer than my indent for sure. @lalalalalala2024 hoping it sticks for you! Sounding positive!

WF1990 · 22/07/2025 22:06

@lalalalalala2024i feel like it was way to early to get a positive even a faint line a 7dpo ! My Lp is 10/11 days , my trick is to wee tomorrow morning before I can even take any test and then go to work πŸ˜‚ then I just have Thursday to go through while working from home, wish me luck 🀣

OP posts:
lalalalalala2024 · 22/07/2025 22:04

@WF1990I can see a line, is your Luteal phase 11 days ? you will have ultimate strength if you wait till Friday but my toes and fingers are crossed for you.

WF1990 · 22/07/2025 20:43

Hey girls, progesterone confirmed ovulation so I guess at least I’m not being too delusional 🀣 now is a waiting game, I really don’t think the test earlier was accurate so I will test in a couple of days !

OP posts:
WF1990 · 22/07/2025 16:56

@EllieWales gosh I want to say no but I feel like ill be too tempted so i will πŸ˜‚

OP posts:
EllieWales · 22/07/2025 16:54

That sounds promising @GiraffesAtThePark!

@WF1990 🀣🀣 are you planning on testing again tomorrow morning? I’m so invested!

WF1990 · 22/07/2025 16:05

hey girls, the more time passes the more I think it could have been the way it dried but not necessarily means positive ! We shall see in the next few days ! I had progesterone testing at the hospital today to see if I ovulated as well 🀞🏼
@GiraffesAtThePark do you mean a darker line ? As opks always have two lines. It’s true though a darker line close to period could mean hcg !

@EllieWalesi have been overanalyzing myself all day too πŸ˜‚ and if the hospital comes back saying I haven’t ovulated I will look like a right weirdo !

OP posts:
GiraffesAtThePark · 22/07/2025 15:24

Congratulations! πŸ₯³

I’ve made the mistake of using my ovulation sticks to see if there’s a result as it can give a reading for pregnancy and there’s been a line both yesterday and today. It could just be my hormones and it means nothing or maybe my cycle’s messed up and I’m ovulating. I’m going to be disciplined though and wait to see if AF comes next week. That’s the plan anyway.

EllieWales · 22/07/2025 10:26

@lalalalalala2024 @WF1990 I think I can see a line on both of them!! Hoping we see those lines get darker over the next few days 🀞

I think I’m only 6 dpo so way too early to test but you’re making me want to 🀣 I’m analysing my CM like a weirdo and have spotted so many symptoms like increased urination, tiredness and thirst πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ what is wrong with me 🀣 I need to know now!!

lalalalalala2024 · 22/07/2025 09:12

@WF1990I didn’t need to squint with yours. I could easily see it before I enlarged the photo.

WF1990 · 22/07/2025 08:52

@lalalalalala2024yours is totally obvious it’s not a squinter ! As for mine… I think I will believe it when it’s an actual line because I’m just 7 or 8 dpo this seems impossible to get a line at that stage ! So I’m in denial for now πŸ˜…

OP posts:
lalalalalala2024 · 22/07/2025 08:50

WF1990 · 22/07/2025 08:45

I also decided to test even though I’m 7dpo which is so early and call me crazy because I usually never squint for lines but I swear a vvvvvv faint line appeared immediately ?! The faintest of lines so could be an indent ! I don’t even know if you guys can see this - also it seems impossible at 7dpo unless I am 8 dpo. Why did I do this πŸ˜‚ I shouldn’t have

I can definitely see a line too !! I am not good at looking at faint lines but I 100% can see that one. My early at home test definitely has a more noticeable line than the FRER πŸ˜…

lalalalalala2024 · 22/07/2025 08:48

@WF1990@WF1990I think it must’ve been that and because I ate too much πŸ˜… I can’t believe it. I won’t be telling DP yet, going to keep it a secret for a couple of days and order a nice baby grow to surprise him with. Wishing baby dust to you 🌟
