Af is due Easter Monday and I definitely won't cave and test early, I promise! Anyone with me? Anytime from Good Friday counts as an Easter Bfp Grin

ghost I conceived my first while on the pill and my second in first month of trying and only actually DTD once as had no time that month so I guess I have been like your friend. I dunno though if maybe it's just the symptoms of getting the coil removed.
thisisbloodyridiculous when are you due AF?

Ghostonthedancefloor · 02/04/2016 11:16

jod my two were easy (?) - read unplanned - and now on to cycle 5! One thing it has done though and I don't know if you were the same, in dithering about whether a third is the right thing to do, is its made the decision absolutely clear! I really hope it's happened for you Flowers look forward to your ETD.

Mrsmulder · 02/04/2016 12:11

Sorry you are all having a tough time with late af's. I am still lurking on this thread, hoping for more bfp's.

Thanks to the early arrival of af last month (cd23!) I should be approaching ov soon. Determined to not get sucked into all the ovulation tests and just go with the flow. I am also ttc #3

jod AF was due last Saturday so I'm currently a week late.
ghost being in it together definitely makes me feel better thank you. Flowers and Cake - I baked some brownies last night so going to gorge myself on them I think. So fed up.

Jod1985 · 02/04/2016 12:53

Would your cycle usually be a inconsistent thisisbloodyridiculous?

ghost we were definitely done after two Wink then just changed our minds.

Ghostonthedancefloor · 02/04/2016 13:23

Thanks mrsmulder and best of luck for this cycle. It's nice to know there are a few ttc#3, sometimes I feel a bit :-/ posting about it as there are so many struggling to ttc#1. It's lovely to get the unbiased support.

jod how old are your other two? All the reservations I had have definately paled into insignificance since we started ttc. I can't wait for it to happen now.

thisis mmmmm brownies. They have trumped my rice crispy cakes! Baking is really not my forte. Rice crispy cakes is about is far as my baking skills go Grin

Mrsmulder · 02/04/2016 13:42

I know what you mean #ghost# I went through a lot to get my 2 so I am well aware how lucky I am. I would love a 3rd but I am very happy with my lot if it doesn't happen.

My oldest is 5.5 and my youngest is 3. So would be a nice time to add now. Youngest is starting play school in September. Like you I am conscious that we are very fortunate to have two healthy children while others struggle to conceive one.

Ghostonthedancefloor · 02/04/2016 14:08

I suppose what will be will be. Still no sign of AF over here tho Angry I have resigned myself that it's not the better reason so I wish she'd just get a move on now.

Mine are 4.5 and 2.5. Right little characters and I often wonder who a third little one would take after.

Jod1985 · 02/04/2016 14:34

Mine are chalk and cheese! Even look different so I wonder the same. Plus I have two boys and wonder if I would have another boy or a girl.

thisisbloodyridiculous · 03/04/2016 09:40

AF is here! About bloody time! Chocolate hope you're doing okay ghost

Jod1985 · 03/04/2016 11:01

I was spotting when I wiped this morning? I think I'm 6 days PO. I thought AF was starting and put a pad in but nada??

Ghostonthedancefloor · 03/04/2016 11:20

Glad/sorry she finally turned up!! ChocolateChocolateChocolate

Jod.. Promising!!!!

thisisbloodyridiculous · 03/04/2016 15:29

jod that is exciting - FX for implantation bleeding! Smile

Jod1985 · 03/04/2016 16:05

It seems to be just when I wipe, it's brown and not every time I use the toilet. Before the coil when I had a period it was like bam I have my period, it wouldn't be light like this to start with. I really feel I ovulated on Monday (right sided pain and EWC). However it could def still be my period. Nothing is certain! Confused I'm someone who likes to be in control so this is killing me!

Ghostonthedancefloor · 03/04/2016 16:13

Fx jod

Looks like AF is on the way for me. I'm gutted. More than I thought I would be :(

And I know this is going to be a heavy and drawn out one just for good measure!

Ghostonthedancefloor · 03/04/2016 22:16

I've had enough. I've hit the emotional wall now it's been up and down all the time and now I really am emotionally drained.

I've been having light brown "spotting" (I literally have to go digging for it, sorry!) for 2 days now, and this morning, it turned red and was more so. Hurrah. Something is actually happening! Or so I thought. It's all but stopped again now. Took another test of course bfn. I have never experienced this before. When I come on, I wipe, it's red, the flow ensues. Now 4 days late. I just want to know either way ffs.

Sorry I just need to pour this out somewhere. I know no one can help but I know there are others going through this too. I'll pull myself back up tomorrow. Back to normal after our week off.

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend Flowers

Jod1985 · 03/04/2016 22:36

Ghost is it possible you ovulated later than you thought and this is implantation?

thisisbloodyridiculous · 03/04/2016 22:46

Flowers ghost you poor thing I can completely relate. It's such hard work this TTCing! Be kind to yourself x

Ghostonthedancefloor · 03/04/2016 22:51

Possibly jod. Ovia pinned down my FW as the 15-20th March. Had ewcm from 14-20th. BD three times during this time and then only once again on the 23rd. Didn't have much going on down there after the 20th so I assume I did O during that time.

Ghostonthedancefloor · 03/04/2016 22:55

The thing is thisis is normally I wouldn't think twice about the odd long cycle, it's just the one off spotting I had on the 28th (sorry forgot to mention that above!) and the intermittent spotting I've had since. Not to mention the other "symptoms" I've supposedly had. I think if this red spotting hasn't turned into anything by tomorrow lunchtime ish, I'll take my remaining superdrug. I can always get yet another one during my lunch break in the week.

Thank you for listening to me banging on over and over Flowers

Mrsmulder · 03/04/2016 23:02

Sorry you are having this stress ghost my cycle was a bit messed up this month too. I thought I might have had implantation bleeding on cd 23 but it turned out to be af! It's a lot worse when you are late though, you almost just want af to arrive so you can think about next month. I hope it is implantation for you but don't want to get your hopes up either x

Don't think I am in the running this month, no idea when or if I am ovulating, with my last cycle being so short I feel like I don't know where i am

OP posts:
Ghostonthedancefloor · 03/04/2016 23:11

Thank you mrsmulder. The spotting was cd28, it will be cd35 tomorrow! Was it you who has just come off contraception? Apologies if not. Have you thought of tracking in some way? OPKs? I am going to try and not go down that road as it will just be another thing for me to get all consumed with. Keep an eye out for your ewcm and download ovia if you haven't already. I really like it purely to look back on the symptoms I've listed and to keep track on roughly where I am in my cycle. I wish you all the best for this cycle Star

Mrsmulder · 03/04/2016 23:14

I had the coil removed a couple of months ago but it was the copper coil so shouldn't affect hormones. I really don't want to go down the ovulation sticks route because I do get obsessed with them. I might do if no luck this month purely because I am worried that my funny cycles mean I am not ovulating.

Ghostonthedancefloor · 03/04/2016 23:35

Oh fx it's just your body settling? The red spotting is picking up here so it looks like she's finally on her way.
