I seem to have had a one day period, should I be concerned?

DrRBannerx · 20/11/2016 10:11

DTD lots around FW so Fx!! Hope everyone else managed to also, I know a few of us got positive ov tests x

FlaminFlamingo99 · 20/11/2016 11:07

Carlotta a one day period - could that be spotting? What cycle day are you? And have you recently come off some kind of birth control?

DrRBanner well done getting the Bing timing right - sometimes we are so busy I find it's a real mission to make sure the timing is right!! Fx for you this cycle!

I am approx 5/6dpo and I am symptom spotting like a crazy lady trying to not notice my left side mild cramps and counting down to Test Day (9 more sleeps).

I am keeping myself busy with Christmas prep - most of my cards are written and about half of my presents are wrapped! I have never been this organised before!

According to the last list we should have a few more people testing over the next few days, hopefully we get some BFPs soon.

FlaminFlamingo99 · 20/11/2016 11:08

Sorry Dr I meant BDing not Bing! !

Yay, more symptom spotters-I am not alone! last night whilst eating a Chinese takeaway I could smell the metal of the fork Hmm weird! Will guiltily admit to poas this morning - no surprise it was a bfn! I can only be 6/7dpo at this point-af not due for 8 days going.

Ohb0llocks · 20/11/2016 16:22

I want to poas so much

MouseLove · 20/11/2016 18:26

Ohb0llocks are you using OPK? That's a dark OPK for CD9?? Did you say it was from Friday? are you sure you're CD11 today?

DrRBannerx · 20/11/2016 18:37

flamingo I couldn't not symptom spot, I'm awful. Dtd 2xday before 2x on day and 1x today.
When are you testing? I'm testing on 2nd Sad so long away x

MrsCummings · 20/11/2016 19:07

Also symptom spotting like mad, every twinge and funky taste... plus I may have poked myself in the boobs so much to "check if they are tender" they are now indeed tender... what a prat Grin

I'm currently going through what I believe to be a chemical pregnancy so I'm taking that yesterday was my first day of my period.
So....
Ttc #3
Cycle #2

Although I'm taking yesterday as the first day of my cycle, I'm not 100% certain when my fertile week will be as I'm still testing positive at the minute. I've peed on every stick imaginable these past three days! I'm hoping I'll get my negative test by next Saturday so that I know I am ready to ttc again. (It sounds horrible to be saying I'm waiting for a negative result, but it's a means to an end this month unfortunately).

Ohb0llocks · 20/11/2016 19:40

Mouse very sure, first day of last period was 10th Nov!

Ohb0llocks · 20/11/2016 19:42

OPK was from Friday yes, did one yesterday too that was ever so slightly fainter

MouseLove · 20/11/2016 21:12

It looks like you ovulated super early. How long are your cycles normally? FX that you had good lining ready for a bean. Xxx

Ohb0llocks · 20/11/2016 21:13

They're usually between 24-28 days! Fingers crossed!

Ohb0llocks · 20/11/2016 21:14

And usually bleed for around 3-5 days

Ttc#1 - trying for months, time not on my side Sad
2ducks am really sorry to hear you're going through this. I was in the same boat a couple of weeks ago. Very disappointing and upsetting, but know what you mean about wanting to move on. Got my negative very quickly after I started bleeding that was more than spotting yet still light flow and have just had a peak on opk on cd18 (I O around cd17 or 18 so only running a couple of days later than usual). Dp had to leave to work overseas just this am when I finally got the peak, so worried we've just missed the optimum time for this month.
Good luck to everyone!! Smile

MrsG280516 · 20/11/2016 21:24

Looks like I've ovulated either Thursday or Friday so I'm currently either 2/3dpo! Still going to test on Saturday 3rd if AF hasn't shown on the Friday. FX to everyone else in their FW!

Mrs G I have the same dates as you...fingers crossed!

JeNeBaguetteRien · 20/11/2016 22:36

Jumping on this bus from the November one. Will be testing around 21/12 but have a few First Response so no doubt I will convince myself that my boobs are bigger and I should test early. Even though that's just an AF symptom. Got BFN on CD29 (Friday). Have had quite a lot of wine this weekend!

FlaminFlamingo99 · 20/11/2016 22:48

Minime that made me smile reading about your fork smelling, I smelt a bowl that had been in the dishwasher and just smelt really odd and I couldn't use it without washing it first!! Didn't tell the DH or he will have think I've completely lost it - but I'm so glad I'm not the only one!!

DrRBanner ovia says for me to test a week Tues which is 29th Nov... But that's based on a 34 day cycle (taken from averages over the last year ranging from 28-37 days). I have 9days to wait and literally the last few days have CRAWLED by. I'm trying to keep myself busy and limit my time Googling symptoms and being on mumsnet! Just take it one day at a time and try to focus on filling each day with lots to keep you busy Smile but I know that's v easy to say.
MrsCummings that made me giggle about you poking and prodding your boobs to see if they are tender - I nearly had the same scenario myself this morning after reading up on first early pregnancy signs!!! So funny!! If you are going to get tender boobs in the coming weeks you won't want them poked and bruised as well from your previous self-examinations!!! Grin

2Ducks and GingerChoc welcome to the December bus, sorry to hear both of you have had chemical pgs, how sad xx 2Ducks let's hope you start a new cycle soon and that you know where you are so you can move forward when you are ready to xx

I'm still the same... Just a-twiddling my thumbs until 29th... 🙄

FlaminFlamingo99 · 20/11/2016 22:50

JeNeBagguetteRien welcome ☺ Fx December is your lucky month!

Hoping for a christmas miracle. It's starting to get to me that it has not happened yet.

MrsCummings · 21/11/2016 06:34

Flamingo
I know right? What a spanner, still in at least amusing the DH. 8 days till test day... I'm an epically impatient person anyway so this it getting right on my nerves already.

Thankfully it's Monday and therefore highly inappropriate for the HR Manager to be grabbing her knockers all the while... light relief for the girls Grin

mrsbarnettsbaby · 21/11/2016 06:58

Now officially in 2ww again. AF due 3/12. FX for everyone.
