Sorry to hear that @saffy347!
Hopefully 2019 is your year!
How long was this cycle? I had that in October. My cycle was 36 days and the wait killed me.

MrsLBear · 10/12/2018 18:29

@Needadoughnut I'm sorry I'm not sure I can see anything but photos change the lines so much. Fingers crossed for you!!!

Hopefully we all will be celebrating 2019 with good news

Welcome @findingmyfeet12 and @moncwf! Wow findingmyfeet12 that’s quite a journey, sorry you’ve had to go through that. Tbh I would have thought that is a bit early for implantation bleeding - I don’t think I’ve come across it before about 8dpo. Do you know when you ovulated? Is there anything else that could have caused the bleeding? Keeping fingers crossed for you.

goldflakepaint · 10/12/2018 21:07

@MrsLBear Don't worry about tmi, it's nice that your dh is so considerate Wink. Mine is too in that way but at the minute, the main concern is him finishing of course! In the last few months, we have managed to dtd every other day up to peak days and then both peak days- but this cycle it all got too much and we didn't get either peak days or even the day before the peak. So as I said, not super hopeful. But who knows, it's not like perfectly timed dtd has got us pregnant so far so maybe focusing on the pre-o days might work? We'll see...I don't normally get to poas with short cycles and I usually get some spotting and other symptoms that clue me into af arriving before that so prefer not to waste a test. Have only taken a test twice since we started trying to conceive in May. But plan to try out a frer this cycle if no af symptoms by the weekend as would like to know if I can drink at Christmas things!

I'm currently 4po and swore I would not symptom spot but yesterday after checking cervix, had a HUGE glob of what could only be described as jelly like cm on my finger. Don't think I've had that before. I know that cm is not a great predictor of anything other than o and know its early days but anybody ever had this before?

Kaye03 · 11/12/2018 00:09

@goldflakepaint
Ive been using clear blue advance digital. Been dtd every other day during high opk, then on the day when its peak.
Thought i would have conceived by now

ronniemipperton · 11/12/2018 06:05

Temp back down, still no ovulation 😭

mrss2018 · 11/12/2018 09:48

So after having an abnormal smear and biopsy I've been told that I have a follow up in 6 months and can continue ttc in the meantime! So....I ovulate on 15th ish...I have some clear blue ovulation tests and pre seed! Fingers crossed for everybody!! X

Needadoughnut · 11/12/2018 09:57

About to give up TTC, feel super low today and sure that AF is around the corner

bunhead34 · 11/12/2018 10:07

@Needadoughnut sorry, it's hard isn't it.
What cycle are you on?
You never know, a lot of the pregnancy symptoms are the same as AF 🤷🏼‍♀️

Kaye03 · 11/12/2018 10:18

@Needadoughnut
Its understandable to feel like that at some point. Just try to think, it will all be worth it at the end, when u get ur good news xx

Needadoughnut · 11/12/2018 10:24

This is my fifth... So not that long really. I have hypothyroidism and endocrinologist thinks that's the culprit. And I keep getting evaps :(

December bus ho ho ho
Needadoughnut · 11/12/2018 10:24

Which I can only see and my DP thinks TTC is messing up with my head :(

bunhead34 · 11/12/2018 11:00

@Needadoughnut I'm cycle 5 too, I'm trying not to stress as it is still early on.
I know how you feel tho.
I'm in the TWW and not feeling very hopeful.

Needadoughnut · 11/12/2018 11:06

I'm out this month. Latest FRER but AF is due today... Should be something by now :(

December bus ho ho ho
Kaye03 · 11/12/2018 11:41

@Needadoughnut
Im sorry to hear that u got a negative

PaintingOwls · 11/12/2018 17:07

I'm also out. AF arrived this afternoon Xmas Sad

Seahawk80 · 11/12/2018 17:20

Congratulations @loveshinealight !!

Sorry to everyone who is out, hope you get to have a boozy Christmas and really enjoy yourselves!

Welcome to everyone new!

I just popped on to say wow the TWW is looooong! This is cycle 4 for us ttc2 but the first time we've managed to have a good crack at the FW so I'm a bit obsessed! I'm 7DPO and over it already. Also I said I wouldn't symptom spot but I feel really crampy, hopefully it's not AF coming super early!

Seahawk80 · 11/12/2018 17:25

Also @goldflakepaint I don't want to get your hopes up - or encourage symptom spotting!!! But I def remember something like that in early pregnancy last time, not this early though but still Xmas Grin

Pastaallday · 11/12/2018 17:46

So after my hopeful first time at estimating my fertile window this week I'm not worried I haven't actually ovulated. I got a blazing positive on monday morning followed by a negative today. But I've never really notice ewcm and had no pain etc. All hope lies with my bbt tomorrow morning.
Anyone never had ovulation symptoms but got a bfp!?
