shimmery Sorry about your Uncle. It's surprising how the loss of someone we know can hit us.
Pie Ugh, sorry AF got you. I know exactly how you feel re reminders and then the disappointment of not even being back to normal. Glad youre going to tlk to the GP but they'll probably just tell you to see how it goes for a while yet (it really can take months for us to return to normal hormonally)
whatso I've been meaning to say this to you after your 12 day af last month and realising you are a runner - how about trying giving yourself a few days off when you think AF is finishing up/when it SHOULD be finishing? After giving birth, when my bleeding died down, if I over exerted myself physically it would all ramp up again. After my miscarriage, I tried to do some exercise 6 weeks or so after the procedure, and two days after my af had ended - before I was into a second set of star jumps, the bleeding had started again as if a tap turned on! So, I stopped, and it all stopped again by the following day. I guess I'm just saying there might be a link between your exercising and proonged bleeding? Seems to make sense to me logically, given my personal experience, but of course we are all different.
blue Hey, great that you're going to be looking your best for all the upcoming swi! I jest, no doubt it'll all settle down but yes, you're right, for things to be off, or differnt, seems par for the course, eh?
eve As has been said, what worthwhile work you do. I do hope you manage to enjoy camp, as much as you'll be glad it's over come sunday.
Summer !!!! I know you're shitting it but you've gotta admit that it all sounds very 'bfp pending'-like your end! I would certainly be poas if I were you... Fingers crossed for you.
So, I'm either 6 or 8 dpo (gut says 6, fertility friend reckons 8). And tested bfn today (no surprise, it's waaaay to early! I had the faintest, barely not even there, look too hard and it disappeared line at 10 dpo last time. Was still stark white bfn at 12 dpo with DS2). But after a temp dip below the coverline yesterday, with a tiny streak of blood in ewcm, followed by my highest temp of the cycle so far today, I can't help feeling hopeful.
As for 'feeling pregnant pre testing' with DD I had no idea - despite finding it hard to get out of bed because I felt sick and dizzy! But I was young and didn't have a clue as to what symptoms might be. I didn't even test until I was nearly 7 weeks and that's only because exDH insisted I was pregnant. With DS1, we were using condoms, and one split. I laughed 'good job that didn't happen a few days ago, when I was ovulating' (knew a bit more aboutmy body by then - I'd noticed ewcm). Anyway, within days my boobs were super sore and I just knew I was pregnant. First test I took was bfn but I was so sure I stopped on the way home from work the next day, bought a test in boots and tested in the birger king toilets next door - bfp. DS2 I knew from about 4dpo, boobs again were soooo sore. It was agnoy feeling 'I am!' yet getting bfns all the way until 12 dpo at which point I stopped testing until 15 dpo and officially 'late' for that bfp. With DS3, I O'd the day we left for christmas in New York. There was no way we could SWI that day, but had the day before. We were due to be there 5 days but got stuck in the blizzard and all flights were cancelled for two days. At 6-7dpo I started spotting very lightly, nothing 8dpo, then a bit more on 9dpo. I didn't feel pregnant in the slightest, not a tiny bit, but then I was in New York so nicely distracted. The spotting just flagged in my mind as implantation spotting though, so I tested 10 dpo and got the super faint line. In conclusion, then, 50% of the time I have felt pregnant, and 50% of the time I haven't!
For the record, I don't feel it this time, but do feel hopeful given my chart, the streak of blood, and my nipples are quietly burning on and off since yesterday...
Time will tell!!
