Heard the Elle thing. I think she's using a surrogate actually.

GlitteryLipgloss1 · 23/03/2015 11:52

I'm really confused. Last month I didn't get + OPK's till the 18th/19th day of my cycle.

I've lost a couple of lbs and now I'm doing the clearblue study and it says to start testing from cd 8 going by my cycle length. I'm CD 12 and have got flashy faces since Friday. I read you should really have four flashes then the peak ... But why am I getting flashy faces so early still. Surely only a 2lb weight loss wouldn't make too much difference. Still been DTD as want to try the smep

Any ideas x

Autumn2014 · 23/03/2015 11:53

I think it's more than spotting. No pain still but I'm trying to be philosophical. I just feel I was a bit premature making all these appointments when really it's like I'm a week late with my period.

loopylou1984 · 23/03/2015 12:13

Glittery - the flashy smiley is measuring a different hormone (I forget which). Your positive opks should come at the same time as your solid smiley really.

I usually have 4 days of flashy, but have had cycles with 5/6 flashy day! Xx

Sparkly123 · 23/03/2015 12:16

Thank you all for the lovely good wishes!!! I am raring to go... Ish. Ha ha. Three hours and I'm there!!!Hmm

Purds high temp you say?! Mmm!!!!!!!! I like it!

Autumn so sorry to hear of the brown spotting. This can be totally normal on early preg too but I know it's worrying. In my experience you can get it checked at this stage by bloods. Call your EPU and explain the situation. Do you have any pain? The waiting and wondering is no good for you I know, maybe even speaking to EPU or GP on phone may help. Thinking of you and sending Flowers I have been in your exact situation before and I know the turmoil Flowers

mrsb peak day.. Get on it! I would do three in a row yes!

ELLE MACPHERSON is preggers? Shock

mrsb0710 · 23/03/2015 12:17

autumn you made need to see a GP vs midwife as you're not far along. My GP is great about reassurance, so it may be worthwhile. FX it's nothing to worry about.

glittery I had 5 days of flashy smileys, fixed smiley today at CD16.

purdey 4 days?? Yikes, better carb load!

Sparkly123 · 23/03/2015 12:18

Oh . Surrogate. Ok ..

Autumn it's totally natural you would be excited at getting your BFP! This brown bleeding could be normal- like a short period. I have read endless accounts of this before online. We all have everything crossed for you. Really hope you will give your gp/epu a call to discuss Flowers

Sparkly123 · 23/03/2015 12:19

Spinneroo we are proper cycle buddies I'm CD 8 today! Starting my CB dual OPKs today! Smile

tessiegirl · 23/03/2015 12:22

Glittery you can sometimes get more flashy smileys...I once had 8 in a row before I got static smiley - DH was knackered that cycle!!! Smile

GlitteryLipgloss1 · 23/03/2015 12:36

thanks ladies, I think it's Oestrogen and then the FSH - Which then ovulation is approx 12-36 ( or 24?) hours away..if I have digested the info I have read correctly.

My mantra is now - "Just keep shagging"

tessiegirl · 23/03/2015 12:37

Quick question after reading about vit b complex on here this morning....what is the opinion on taking b complex against just taking b6 on its own? Is one or the other better?

victoria401 · 23/03/2015 12:38

Fingers crossed for you autumn. If there is no pain or red blood it doesn't sound like a mc. But I've not experienced one its just from what I've heard/read. Keep us informed hun xxx

victoria401 · 23/03/2015 12:40

Someone said the b vits absorbed better when they are all together?

loopylou1984 · 23/03/2015 12:56

Glittery - think the second hormone is LH Smile

DizzyMerry · 23/03/2015 13:00

Ok I'm confused now! What's the difference between the two clear blue opks? I use the pink lid one and have been testing since cd8. I've never had a smiley but what I want to know is should I expect a solid smiley (when I get one) or a flashy one?

DizzyMerry · 23/03/2015 13:01

Oh good luck with your hsg later sparkly

Sparkly123 · 23/03/2015 13:05

Thanks DizzyMerry! so Clear blue pink one only detect LH surge.. Which is when you get the solid smiley. No flashing on pink one!
The Dual hormone one is people and has flashing/static.

Sparkly123 · 23/03/2015 13:08

Tessie yep I think a B complex is better as body absorbs better than one on own

Sparkly123 · 23/03/2015 13:10

Glittery yep LH instead of FSH lovely

spinningirl10 · 23/03/2015 13:11

Elle MacPherson pregnant??!!!! Just had to google......she's 50!!!!! Fertility treatment no doubt!

Sparkly, you sound very positive about today, I like itSmile thinking of you and sending relaxation vibes your way. I shall start with the opks tomorrow or wed, I'm really regular so could probably not bother but I like to see the lineSmile

OP posts:
Sparkly123 · 23/03/2015 13:13

I like to see the line too Spinning mine was negative today obviously!
Mmm not sure. Trying to be positive yes! Im feeling quite sickly still as not been so great over weekend so stocking up on ginger tea before I go! Brew

tessiegirl · 23/03/2015 13:20

Oh thanks Victoria, I completely missed someone saying they absorbed better when taken as bcomplex. Fab Smile

GlitteryLipgloss1 · 23/03/2015 13:28

Ahhhh haha! Thanks ladies Smile
Good luck sparkly. I'm sure you'll be fab and fine. Virtual hugs and hand holding to you xxx

dojo123 · 23/03/2015 13:50

autumn I really hope you're not experiencing a mc and hope this is just some old lining that your body is shedding.

At the end of Jan I got a BFP at 4+3 and again 4+4 but unfortunately had pink spotting in 4+6 then brown in the morning of 5 before bleeding properly at the end of the day. I didn't experience any pain on 4+6 but did have some low down on 5 which worsened as the day progressed.
I rang 111 on 4+6. I had already booked an apt with the Dr for the following day so I kept the appt and want to see them. I also took a pg test before seeing the Dr and took a urine sample with me because of the spotting. I got a negative result on the test and the Dr checked to see if it wasn't a false negative or an ectopic.

I really hope that what I experienced is not what will happen to you. I know you feel that you got too excited to soon and it is so deflating because you have already started planning your pregnancy/due date etc. What I took away from it was that I could get pregnant I just need to work on how to keep that little bean sticky.

Fx for you.

dojo123 · 23/03/2015 14:08

Feeling a bit meh today. Oh the joys of the 2WW.
Had a temp dip this morning (chart attached for those interested) Could this be an implantation dip or is that too early?
Am working from home today. I say work I mean spring clean my house! Could this be a symptom!? nesting Hmm can't be because my parents are visiting on the weekend! Wink

The March Bus continues.....will the Eclipse bring us more bfp's!
