So I made my own post but no one has replied to it hopefully someone can help I had a period about 2 weeks ago and a day or two ago I bled once then stopped same thing this morning g it wasn't a lot but I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for is it implantation bleeding??

Aph413 · 03/06/2018 23:04

How long are your cycles? Some people get an ovulation bleed I've heard

Mrsbotchnarr · 03/06/2018 23:05

Usually every 28 to 29 days

Mrsbotchnarr · 03/06/2018 23:10

And I have never bled like this before everything usually is perfect but I have had some very light cramps as well

Aph413 · 03/06/2018 23:18

Honestly I don't know too much but I'd say it's a bit early for implantation bleeding if you're midway through your cycle

FlapJackered · 04/06/2018 07:20

@Mrsbotchnarr - have you come off birth control recently? I had spotting mid cycle for a while and the doc said it was likely due to the pill. Probably nothing to worry about but I would get checked out as it can also be a symptom of cervical cancer.

Aph413 · 04/06/2018 08:35

In the gp waiting room for my smear. Shitting myself. Excuse the language. Never sure why I'm so nervous it's the results that worry me not the test itself.

FlapJackered · 04/06/2018 09:01

Good luck @Aph413 I know what you mean, but I am sure it will be fine. Good to get it over with, as unpleasant as it is!

thisisouryrfx18 · 04/06/2018 09:39

@Aph413 im the exact same the test isnt pleasant but its the wait on the results that r horrible! Treat urself afterwards thats what i alwaya do lol

@FlapJackered i think afs has finally fuckd off soo woohoo for that ive been temping past couple of days on n off, ive not even been drinking my tea or taking my vits past wk tho..thats how down ive been. Looked at acupuncture near where i live not too expensive think i need to give it a go..and pluck up the courage to fone gp thats my 2goals this cycle, need sumthin to push forward with!

I ended up jabbering away to the nurse all the way through. It's just the 6-8 week wait for my results now I'm not looking forward to. She was ever so good at the test itself. Didnt even feel uncomfortable this time, hopefully that's it and I can go back to 3 yearly checks.
We're off to McDonald's for breakfast now Blush so much for healthy eating. Also managed to get my husband to treat me to a new pair of jeans and he's taking me to buy some caravan bits too.

Glad af has finally fucked off thisis I always find it hard to keep on track of vits during af, it's just so miserable.
You should phone the doctors and then book yourself some kind of treat for doing it.

FlapJackered · 04/06/2018 10:47

Well done @Aph413, well deserved Macy D's!
@thisisouryrfx18 wooho! I am so jealous. Still waiting for AF to show up. I think it's going to be a long wait, I don't think I have ovulated this cycle so I have no idea where I am. Although cramping a bit so hopefully that's a good sign. Who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

thisisouryrfx18 · 04/06/2018 11:33

Yh well done @Aph413 at least the awkward part is over with fx ur results come back quick as..yh al book it then treat myself we deserve it all the shit we have to go through! @FlapJackered i hope its ur mnth hun we need a bfp on this thread we MUST be due one surely lol

Aph413 · 04/06/2018 19:40

I'm not convinced this ovulation date is correct anymore. My temperature is dropping like crazy again.
This is ridiculously frustrating, I wish I had a holiday closer than December. I need a break.

Long cyclers we re the last ones standing in the tww and we re not taking it anymore guzzle down your grapefruit juice and pop those b6 pills..short cycle we re coming for you!
FlapJackered · 04/06/2018 22:52

Thanks @thisisouryrfx18 you too! Yes a bfp for one of us would give us all some hope!

@Aph413 sorry to hear that, it's so frustrating isn't it. I get exactly that, temp goes up, I even get positive opks then it plummets the next day. So annoying.

thisisouryrfx18 · 06/06/2018 21:53

Well ladies ive booked docs for nxt tues i feel like absolute shit tbh i never thought itd come to this..doesnt help that my 34thbirthday is quickly approaching how did my life come this

Well done thisis it's hard but it's a good step to take. We're all behind you

FlapJackered · 07/06/2018 07:40

Well done @thisisouryrfx18 for taking the step and booking it. It's better the devil you know than the devil you don't. Will keep my 🤞🏻for you

thisisouryrfx18 · 07/06/2018 08:04

@doityourselfnexttime thank u soo much hun its gd to know i have ppl i can vent to on this thread❤ @FlapJackered yh thanks x i cant go on living in this limbo im gonna end up having a breakdown

OP posts:
Aph413 · 07/06/2018 08:41

Also name change fail much. I meant to post using Aph 😅. Made a name change for a rant and didn't change it back. So if doityourselfnexttime reappears just remember it's me and I can't do technology Grin

thisisouryrfx18 · 07/06/2018 10:00

Lol i was thinking someone new on the thread 😂

OP posts:
Aph413 · 07/06/2018 10:30

Sorry lol. Just me Wink

thisisouryrfx18 · 07/06/2018 15:42

Well i was thinking shes been awfully nice for someone ive never spoke to before lol

OP posts:
Aph413 · 07/06/2018 17:46

Haha sorry I'd reported it to mumsnet as soon as I posted to change it to aph so I didn't confuse anyone. It took ages for them to get back to me though lol.

Back to fertility. Temperatures haven't increased at all so I'm pretty sure that was a false ovulation date. Keeping on with my opks though to try and catch it again

FlapJackered · 07/06/2018 18:56

Sorry to hear that @Aph413 Did you get a positive opk before that rise? It's so annoying isn't it. I think my body gears up to ov several times in my cycle but doesn't follow through.
