New thread!
@Delilah7 @daisiesandpeonies @Crossfitgirl

Update: AF arrived today. Actually a day later than last month, so a bit pleased my LP is a bit longer. Aaand 10 mins later, a girl at work I supervise told me she's 5 weeks pregnant! Typical 🙄

Question for you all: if you get spotting before your period that turns into full flow, do you count the first day of spotting or the first day of actual proper flow as day 1 of your next cycle?

@Crossfitgirl typical! just want you don't want to hear 😔 sorry lovely.
I'd count the full flow I think that's what it says for you to do. Google it 😘

@Crossfitgirl sorry to hear AF has arrived. I always count from full flow but log it as spitting on the app I use xx

Here's a question for you ladies.
So nearly two weeks ago I miscarried as you well know. My flo app tells me my ovulation day is tomorrow based on me putting in my miscarriage bleed as a period. Now, we DTD Friday and yesterday and since Saturday I've had the mucus in my pants and on tissue again. I now have pain which I would class as how my old ovulation pain felt like. Could I really be ovulating again this soon???

Hi all! Hope I can join. I'm 26, ttc baby #1, cycle 6. Currently cycle day 28 and just got a BFN this morning getting so down about it :(

@Toto19 welcome :) is your period due? Xx

Yes, today or tomorrow. No sign yet. Just really thought it was my month but oh well....

@Toto19 you're not out until it turns up so keep positive xx

Just thought it would have shown on a test by now? Xx

@Toto19 not necessarily.... just try and be patient and see if AF arrives xx

@Delilah7 I've just been catching up and I would like to encourage you to stay with us :) we all understand on here that what you're going through is extremely is hard and I hope it makes you feel better when you can vent. We're all here to help and try make you feel better and we wouldn't want you to suffer in silence at all.
I would agree with what you said and not put too much pressure on yourself and maybe just enjoy this month as time with your partner and having some fun. But I'm afraid I can't help with the ovulation question, I would say if it feels like ovulation then maybe it is and that's a positive sign :)

@Crossfitgirl sorry to hear AF has arrived. Positive vibes for your next cycle!

@Toto19 Welcome to the madness :)

@purplestar9 thanks lovely - guess I needed a pick me up and you guys have given it to me. I wasn't wanting sympathy either ( btw you guys will realise I worry and over think everything 😂). How are you today? X

Can I join in....

TTC # 1
Cycle 3

AF arrived on Friday although it has been very light an short so not sure what that is about... anyways time to get onto the September bus and try again! Thinking of trying 'Sperm Meets Egg Plan' providing hubby gets back this week from work!

@Delilah7 all good today, I'm currently 3DPO if my calculations are correct! Starting to feel a little nervous about my hospital appt tomorrow though (unrelated to TTC... kind of). Having further tests on the lump that I found on my breast, I'm pretty sure it's a cyst so nothing to worry about but it's still nerve wracking! And of course my DH has an appointment at a hospital an hour and a half away in the morning so having to leave the house at 6:30 then try get back in time for my appt closer to home in the afternoon... I'm hoping he decides not to go, it's supposed to be for immunity treatment for his hay fever but it's a course over 3 years and I don't think either of us can deal with that! Sorry... long rant there!

Hi toto if implantation occurred a bit later, it might not show up on home pregnancy test yet. If you are PG your HCG levels will double every 48hours so try retesting tomorrow.

Sorry crossfit, dealing with a staff announcement can’t have been easy. I would usually log as spotting. Last month my AF started at 11:30pm at night, I wasn’t sure whether it counted as a full day but if I’d logged it as starting the following day then it would knock my cycle length from 28 to 29 days.

Glad you’re sticking around Delilah, you mustn’t feel pressured to be positive on here. We all know that TTC is a bumpy ride and we need a place to share that.

mrsm I think it must just be because I’m hyper aware now I’m TTC but I don’t recall PMS being this extreme! Don’t want to get my hopes up though.

@kmcneil91 welcome :) good luck for your new cycle!

@kmcneil91 hi lovely. Welcome :) keep positive. It all starts after cycle 3 they normally say that's how long it takes for everything to get out of your system etc xx

@purplestar9 sorry to hear your heads probably all over the place, understandable to worry about something like that. 😘

@Patapouf Thank you lovely. 😘 hope you're ok

Welcome @Toto19, @kmcneil91!
Thank you @patapouf, @delilah7 and @sunshine1987, I have logged the light brown stuff as spotting from sat/sun, and my full flow from today. Hopefully my cycle is lengthening a little and allowing a bit more precious time for implantation.

@purplestar thinking of you, id be worried too - hope it goes ok at the appointment. Let us know how you get on.

Delilah I don't know about ov after MC, if you feel it'd stress you missing a possible opportunity then DTD anyway, but if you don't feel like it, dont pressure yourself - just go with how you feel.

Toto commiserations on your BFN, it's so disappointing isn't it - but as delilah7 says, you're not out until AF shows her face!

Sorry to hear about AF @Crossfitgirl. What rubbish timing with the work thing too.

Welcome all new ladies

Today in symptom spotting fun I have loads of tiny spots on my nose

Taking this more as a sign of imminent AF than BFP.

@Crossfitgirl it defo feels like ovulation pains. Proper pulling at my ovary on the right hand side!! 😂

@CrystalBlaze my skin has been horrific since coming off the pill - spots on my shoulders this cycle for the first time since I was about 14 😭 I'm hoping getting no spots will be a pregnancy symptom!
I've still not had a positive otc and I'm on CD20. Just so annoyed with it! I feel like my body is telling me something is changing as my breasts are tender and I'm cramping, but no smiley face in sight.
@Toto19 until your period comes you're definitely not out - try and wait until it's several days late (really hard I know!)
@Delilah7 It's been said already but don't leave us, you're free to say whatever you want positive or negative we're all here for you! I don't know what to advise about ovulation after MC 😞

@daisiesandpeonies thank you lovely ❤️

I just felt this weird, 'fluttery' pain slightly to the side. Like something was pumping and moving. Is this what ovulation pain is? My breasts are very tender as well. like I already said. But I did a negative otc like half an hour ago 🤷‍♀️ argh the overanalysing 😭😭😭

Just reiterating all the other comments but @Delilah7 don't leaaaave!!!! We love you here and that is what threads like this are all about having a rant or a cry when you need it without judgement. It's completely understanding that your posts have been less positive but I am sure like everyone here there will be times when you have less positive posts and times that they become more positive. 😘

@daisiesandpeonies I am so with you on the acne, really hoping I am one of those people with beautiful clear skin in pregnancy!

@Crossfitgirl - sorry to hear about af, not good timing with hearing your colleague's news either.
