The July Penis Dragon's final push for July BFPs!

[Blueskygirl30]

We've had a few BFPs so far this month but we want (and deserve) more! One last thread to finish off July in style!

Siarie, am either 7 or 8 DPO I think you might need to lock me up too, still spotting, boobs are sore, feel hungry even after i have eaten and got back ache, needing to wee a lot, though i have been drinking a lot - so that could be due to the weather, and got crampy funny feeling in my stomach, one minute i feel postitive thinking its all signs in the right direction next minute i am thinking its all in my head!!!

I can see the line Siarie x

Hmm started bleeding a bit, more than I would have thought for implantation but google says otherwise. So just need to wait and see.

AF is due Wednesday so either this had gone chemical or it's just implantation bleeding. It wouldn't surprise me if it's chemical as it is my first cycle off BC, which I've heard can happen? It can't be AF surely as it's too soon?

Just have to see how it progresses and keep testing!

Siarie it seems quite common for women to bleed a little in early pregnancy, as long as it's only a small amount you should be ok. Maybe use a pad so you know how much and what colour it is. Fx for you.

siarie try not to worry. I didn't realise how common implantation bleeding was until I joined here, a lot of people experience it. Hopefully it'll stop and you'll get that nice,dark 2nd line in the next day or 2. Xx

So the rollercoaster continues, I don't have any pads in the house thought I did but me and DH have been trying to find them. Took a tampon out and it was brown blood? That's good isn't it? I was worried as it was originally red but feeling more postive now I've seen most of it's brown.

Just going to take each day as it goes.

Brown blood is good, could be from yesterday's implantation. Fx

Will read back in morn. Just saying fx to all you lovely ladies and sleep right. Baby dust to all

Saire, brown is fine. But don't use tampons hun, not good when pg. could cause an infection. Fx for you

Siarie fingers crossed for a clear BFP for you tomorrow! I could see a line on your pic.

Kitty I don't know how you are being so patient and staying positive, it is quite inspiring!

Kurama fingers crossed for a positive result for you soon too, seems you are also being very patient.

On phone so difficult to keep up with everyone but reading everyone's journeys is helping get me through the TWW. I think I am now 8 DPO with 6 days until AF is due. With every new twinge or wave of nausea (however brief) I realise just how much I really am countin down to POAS day! Although I still don't feel overly confident - barely any CM, no spotting etc. which brings me to a question - how much CM is normal?! And how often? Starting to think I am abnormally low on CM after reading others' posts!

I didn't notice changes in mine until after I'd had ds1 Rustyzilla. Some days I notice it in my underwear but for me it's mostly when I go to the loo and wipe I have a quick look. The nurse told me once when I had a smear that ladies who've had vaginal deliveries are much easier to get good samples from on smear tests as the cervix never fully closes again so I put that down to the reason I became more aware after ds1 because I was making it down in bigger blobs but someone may come along and say something totally different! I definitely have less as I'm getting older though!

And Sairie, thinking of you this morning :)

Sairie, try not to worry about brown blood, i have read that its mostly brown at implantation x

Morning everyone, so hmm not sure what is happening now. FMU line still there but same as yesterday. Still bleeding this morning which is :/ after it looked like it had stopped.

I guess a few options as I'm 9/10 DPO:

1. Early AF due to bad cycle coming off BC
2. My body removing whats there, early MC?
3. Spotting

Really not feeling like it's number 3 at the moment, but DH went out this morning and got me some pads so switched to those in case it's 1 or 2.

Siarie fx for number 3. Is it AF level bleeding? I've read about women who've had bleeding for a few days, mostly lighter than AF would normally be, and they've gone on to have successful pregnancies. Fx for you.

Rusty I think it just depends on the person. Most of the cm I've had since ovulation I've only known was there because I've checked, except for yesterday when I felt really wet (bleugh, that's gross, sorry!) and there was a blob on cm on the TP when I went to the loo.

I POAS this morning, well, actually 2 sticks. I think I saw the faintest of faint lines on the IC, slightly less squinting involved than yesterday but I still couldn't say it was definitely a line rather than wishful thinking. The Superdrug tests was a bfn. I wish I was more patient and would be able to wait until a few days after AF has not arrived to get a really obvious positive. If this isn't my month I will try next time.

Bluesky It's not yet, I used to have very heavy bleeding AF and pretty much straight away. It's light but I have some low light cramps, again though I used to get the worst cramps so not sure. Just need to wait and see but it's hard to stay positive, I have read lots of stories online about people bleeding and being fine but when you see it you think wow how can anything survive in there lol?

FX for your line to get darker Bluesky xx

Siarie I hope it's spotting and nothing else. I'm almost 16 wks now and still getting spotting so it is very common The ic tests are notorious for evaps though so maybe try a frer in a couple of days x

Morning all.

Well ladies I'm out. AF seems to be starting 2 days early.

So I guess it's off to August for cycle 9. I'm trying to find the positives in this but it's hard. Not sure how I'm going to tell DH either.

Good luck to all x

Helloooo,

Hope everyone has that Friday feeling.

I've just allowed myself to get excited for a moment. Woke up feeling AF had arrived in the night, went to the loo, just lots of cm. Not sure if I usually get this pre AF (I've made notes of all symptoms this cycle). So silly me starts to think "shall I go and buy hpt today?" 15min later scrunchy AF pains are back. When I was pg with ds2 I was convinced AF was coming because I had what I thought was AF pains but I don't remember them going on all day,for so many days. Are implantation pains so prolonged? I have zero other symptoms. Oh well AF due within the next 3 days so will find out soon enough.

siarie really hope this is it for you. It's a good sign you saw a line on todays test. Is bleeding same as 1st day if AF?

blue it's sounding good for you. Fx you get a darker line in the next day or 2.

Sorry AF arrived genni what a bitch she is. Good luck on the August bus. Take care and treat you and dh to something nice and special, maybe get blotto, eat stinky cheese & shell fish.

cpt no it's stopped now again too, it goes from nothing to light to nothing again. Mild cramps but I usually have heavy ones a day before and bad on the day.

I can't keep my eyes open almost fell asleep watching tv so going to have a nap and see how the day goes. Xx

Siarie that sounds a lot like what I've had for past few days! Apart from I'm getting bfns. Gives me hope. Was awake at 3 this morn and didn't get back to sleep till after dh left for work at 6. Feel like crap physically. Everything really hurts but I don't really wnt to take painkillers. So tired. Fx for those testing this weekend baby dust to all

Morning ladies.
I think I'm out for this month. Had some bleeding yesterday, but nothing much yet. But my periods usually start like that. I'm expecting the flow gates to open today...

Sorry the bitch got you Genni and fattycow. Try to stay positive, enjoy some wine and gear yourself up to the next cycle.
