Hey guys.
Had my fertile week between 18th and 23rd april. We dtd on 15th,20th and 22nd April. Fertile week ended a week ago today and I've had a tiny amount of spotting this afyernoon. Does this sound promising?

I sure hope so!
I'm CD 27. Af usually comes 26-28
I always have cramping, spotting and come on within 12hrs.
CD25 8dpo cramping and brown discharge
CD26 9dpo cramping and spotting brown
CD27 woke up this morning.... nothing. No cramps, no spotting, discharge or af

Fingers crossed for both of us and baby dust to you xx

Unicorn234 · 30/04/2018 19:01

Thank you @wishful30 good luck to you too. 😊
Really got my hopes up and now got some cramping. Really hope it's not AF on her way as it would be early and totally ruin my cycle 😭

That's what I thought. 26days is my early usually and going by charting I've been up to 29days.
I very much expected to wake up to af yesterday, and then again this morning.
Nothing.
I'm just concerned as I had a chemical in January, and one of my charts seems to think af not due until Thursday... that can't be right!! I bloody hope not anyway. I never have irregular periods.
Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

violet0805 · 30/04/2018 19:08

Could be implantation bleeding. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

Unicorn234 · 30/04/2018 19:11

Fingers crossed for both of us 🤞🤞🤞

It could be IB. In the 2+ years I've been trying, the majority of my cycles I spotted post-ov. In the two cycles I got pregnant, I had zero spotting before af.

Unicorn234 · 01/05/2018 19:44

Hey @wishful30 has AF arrived for you?
My spotting turned into AF, totally gutted as it's 5 days early 😭

Wishful30 · 01/05/2018 20:01

Hey @unicorn234

Sorry to hear that! 😞
I'm on cd28 af should be arriving today. My app reckons it'll be Thursday. So a bit confused as I never have 30day cycles!!

Nothing yesterday. Spotting brown again today and mild cramps.
Still praying!
So far first test 5 days ago very faint line.
Every other test, about 4 negative.

Going to try again in the morning. But I'm not convinced 😑
I'll let you know the outcome xxx

Unicorn234 · 01/05/2018 20:14

Aww fingers crossed... sounds promising 😊😊

Wishful30 · 02/05/2018 06:32

AF has arrived. 3am this morning. 😞
I tried to go back to sleep but was just so upset.
I was convinced this was finally it.

Now I have to let my fertility nurse know, and book an appointment to have dye put into my tubes at 10days.
Thankfully (in a backward way) I'm only away for 7days)

Honestly, my whole life, my worst fear is not being able to have a baby.
I finally found someone I want to spend my life with. It's just a shame I'm 35 on Friday. We've barely been together 3 years. And we are content and feel ready for a little one.

I'm gutted I've actually got to have fertility treatment.

Sorry for the long rant... I was just so convinced we struck it lucky.
Feeling very sad today.

Wishing you all in the waiting period the best of luck, and for those starting again, fingers crossed it's your time!

Baby dust to everyone xxx

Wishful30 · 03/05/2018 20:16

Ok... now I've had like a one and a half day period...?
Wtf is going on 🤦🏻‍♀️

Wishful30 · 04/05/2018 16:31

Can anyone help on the bleeding front? Has anyone had random things happen?
My period came without cramps. Lasted a day and a half and stopped suddenly. Then a day of nothing, and today I had a little spotting and some cramps.
As my period came and I was upset, and I'm
On holiday, I've been knocking back the cocktails ect 🙄
I just knew I was pg when I got my positive. But turned to be chemical as all symptoms went and af came.
Now I'm confused, and my pee smells odd too 🤷🏻‍♀️

Jellybean100 · 04/05/2018 19:24

@wishful30 exact same happening with me this month so I will be watching this thread closely to see what’s happening with you.

Wishful30 · 04/05/2018 19:28

It's so odd. I don't 'feel' pregnant anymore.,
I know that sounds a little odd.
I just knew I was before. Cramps, nausea bloating.
Then I got a invalid test and 2 negatives.
Af arrived very nearly late and then disappeared as fast as it came 🤷🏻‍♀️

What's going on with you?

Jellybean100 · 04/05/2018 20:58

@wishful30 had 2 day period a week ago, which could well have been my period but it was early and not as heavy as usual (although was certainly not light/spotting like I’ve read IB is) just feeling exhausted and boobs ache a bit. Either pregnant or a weird period... had BFN yesterday and today... had some spotting yesterday only once... wondering what my body is playing at! Period was due Tuesday/Wednesday. Pretty sure it would show up positive by

Wishful30 · 05/05/2018 05:45

Well I've just got a bfn too. Darn!
Using the clear blue monitor, but forgot it's still in U.K. time, so went to put the test in and it told me im too early 🤦🏻‍♀️
Clearly no second line though.

I definitely had implantation bleeding. Big of brown discharge along with cramps a good 3 days before af due and I am never early!
I even had a very faint bfp during this time too.
All symptoms went away. Af due day 26-28 and came early on day 29. Usually 4 days of bleeding. Only had a day and a half.
I have no other symptoms tho in all fairness.,

I had a chemical in January, only cramps and spotting then, but my cramps got so bad I considered going to the gp. Lasted about 4-5 days and got worse until heavy bleeding when af due. So I assume implantation was trying to happen and didn't succeed.

I'll test again before my HSG just to be sure. But I don't think I am anymore 😕

Wishful30 · 05/05/2018 08:24

So I'm obsessed 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

I just looked at the test strip again... if I hold it up to the light I think I can see a faint blue line next to the control line 🙄
It's too late to be checking it now, but I'm gonna have to take a normal cheap test tomorrow before I got totally insane.
Hoping and praying, but convinced I'm not. Be a miracle to find out I'm preggo before all theses fertility treatments!

Wishful30 · 05/05/2018 16:41

So I'm gonna keep you ladies up to date with my randomness 😬

DH and I bd earlier and after when I peed I noticed pinkish spotting. Then some blood. Unsure what or why as this is not something that would usually happen with me.
Been googling too much!
Guess I'll keep an eye on it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Jellybean100 · 05/05/2018 18:11

Oooh. When are you going to test again? I keep telling myself I’ll wait a few days but then can’t wait and have tested the last 3 mornings all BFN. Pretty sure I’m not but I have a nagging feeling that I guess won’t go away until AF turns up next month!

Laurenita · 05/05/2018 18:30

Driving myself mad with spotting too. AF 2 days late, some brown spotting, now a little more than spotting but still lighter than AF. I could swear I’m pregnant, I have all the symptoms, but 2 Negatives 7 & 9 DPO, 1 invalid today at 11DPO (aaaargh). Driving me nuts and I’m only on cycle 3 TTC, the first 2 cycles there was no unusual symptoms. Should I just accept it’s a 2 day late But light AF (I have 24 day cycles usually) or could there still be hope?

Jellybean100 · 05/05/2018 18:33

@laurenita I would see how this light AF progresses- did it start today? 7 and 9DPO are very early to test, so I would see if this AF stops and if it does then do a test definitely! Good luck x

Laurenita · 05/05/2018 18:46

@jellybean100 I’m currently CD27 11DPO. I usually have a 24 day cycle, so I was worried it’s not enough time to implant. But I’m 3 days late for AF and spotting /light bleeding for 2 days. I currently have cramping, bloating, back ache (unusual) and sore breasts. Nausea, dizziness, tiredness stopped a few days ago. I feel like I’m being a little obsessive about it and maybe the symptoms are more psychological but at the same time, I can’t take my mind off it Confused

flumpybear · 05/05/2018 19:17

Could be, it was usual for me around period, along with cramps

Jellybean100 · 06/05/2018 10:03

@wishful30 what’s the latest?

Wishful30 · 06/05/2018 12:06

Hey,
Bleeding stopped within the hour. Had a pad on as noticed as we were leaving for dinner in my nice light green dress 🙄
Minor bleeding/spotting.
Bit of brown spotting this morning.

I was very bloated yesterday, but I'm in another country and suffer with IBD, so prob just bad food and drink.
Literally no other symptoms so I'm gonna save my test for tomorrow morning as I'm convinced it'll be negative.

I wonder if my short period is a bit odd coz it was chemical and carried on with a strange gap in the middle.
Other than that I no longer 'feel' pregnant or have any symptoms 😕
