2ww part 2

[Hopefulprincess]

New thread ladies 🥳

@Hopefulprincess hardly anything today so all good! Now for the long TWW!

Ooo, busy day on the thread, hello to newbies :-)

Don’t worry about not having a BFP the day you’re due. Not everyone does and it depends on the mlu of the test you’re using. Can take a while for the hormone to build up enough in your urine. Also remember that fmu is not best for everyone - when I got my brief lines last month, I had a much stronger one in the afternoon than I did with FMU about 18 hours later.

@ducksandacorns my Ovia app did this last week. Very annoying! Tried to dtd everyday so hopefully haven't missed it whenever it was!

@Laurenmclovely I'm hoping so! It's still just as light, very intermittent and if it was AF I would be full on bleeding by now! I'm also crampy, mild though.
I also haven't stopped weeing all day and my OPKS are getting darker; they were completely blank after ovulation and this morning the line came back and this evening it's even darker 🥺🥺🥺

Chloe I really think you're pregnant! Can you test?

@Laurenmclovely I haven't got any tests, I deffo don't want to test before Friday, I'm really apprehensive with having just come off the pill, I feel like I don't know my body at all and that it could be anything!

Thanks for being so positive and encouraging, it really helps when I can't help but feel let down at the sight of blood!

When did you come off the pill Chloe? It’s possible you’re having a withdrawal bleed if you’ve not had a proper period yet, and it may not follow the timings you’re used to. It can take a while for proper periods to happen whilst your body gets used to the idea of ovulating - but ignore me if you’ve had a post-pill withdrawal bleed already!

@Kiskacsa I came off the pill 2nd Feb and I had no bleeding until 2nd march, where I had a 'normal' 4 day bleed.

Bleeding almost stopped yesterday, nothing through the night but when I got up to go to the toilet I had a large clot come out 😢

Really not sure what's going on, I'll wait and see if the bleeding gets heavier today, then I'll just assume it's my period and I have a very short luteal phase, if not I'll do a test in the morning/this evening

@ChloePD hugs - cit can take a little time for stuff to settle into proper rhythms post pill, so don’t worry too much about length of luteal phase. It may not be a period proper, either, if blood stays very dark it could just be some more delayed withdrawal bleeding whilst your body gets used to post pill. Have you got opks/bbt thermometer to help you spot ovulation while you reset?

@Kiskacsa I do, I have been temping this whole cycle, I had a temp dip 2 days after positive OPK. My temps are still high this morning though.

Bleeding is bright red now, it's not quite like my period but I feel like it's getting heavier.

I suppose that means sooner until my next Ov date; so something positive to look forward to 🙈

I’m one week into my 2ww and the wait is killing me. I’m pretty sure we missed this month though.

Everything’s been a bit muddled this month and I seemed to have ovulated later than I should have. Ovia estimated between the 10th and the 15th but I didn’t ovulate until the 18th. AF is due Wednesday according to Ovia and haven’t got any symptoms of it yet but I’m not getting my hopes up as I’m assuming as I ovulated late af will just turn up late too.

Was too poorly to BD on the Monday I ovulated but did manage to do it the day before, and we’d besn doing it every other day until then, so I’m still keeping my fingers crossed. Had some brown spotting on Thursday, not sure what that could’ve been, and have watery cm today which I’ve read is my body preparing for mensuration so that doesn’t make me hopeful.

With all the stress of it if this isn’t my month I’m not sure I’m going to try again for a couple of months as I just need a break.

@floof doesn’t sound like you’re feeling great but if you dtd just before ovulation that’s better than ovulation day statistically, and a little spotting is a good rather than bad sign. Mucus doesn’t mean anything until AF actually shows - fingers crossed for you. Easier said than done (progesterone is a joy) but try not to worry - you’ve done everything you can and just need to wait and see. Xx

Now. Of course I'm not symptom spotting...however...is it normal for cm to stay like ew? Normally it thins out. But there's masses of it still. 🤷‍♀️

Cm post ovulation is a bit random I think - increased quantity could be but is not necessarily a sign of pregnancy. Helpful, right?!

That's what I thought. But I'm aware how neurotic I'm being. Some dark spotting today too. It can't be anything really can it. I'm only 3dpo. 🤷‍♀️

Hello all il catch up when littlest one is asleep I just wanted to share... I had few cramps and thought af started so for tmi....

Was a huge blob of cm and when I wiped was a bit of spotting. Still got slight cramps and cervix is verrrry low

I think could be start of af as I’m due according to app in 6 days but well with my body anything goes! :/

Where are you in your cycle?

Welcome newbies 👋👋
Nice to have so many ladies to boost eachother:)
@chloe oh nooooo how’s bleeding now?
@mrsawhite you can spot post ovulation and also depending on your age and happens to some anyway positive opks come after have o I no it’s all confusing isn’t it 😂
@kisk how are you?
@lauren how are you?
@floof I’m sorry you feel like this :( ttc is draining! What cycle are you on? Day before is good! So in with a chance 💖
@mrsm how are you?

@nrsawhite 6 or 7 dpo

@pome @duck any news?
@rob yes back ache is normal :) how is it today?

@Hopefulprincess that looks like it could be implantation! It's deffo light enough & roughly the right time after ovulation!!

My back ache is still there but very faint today, had some twinges on one side of my uterus and my CM has a milky look to it - but is hardly there?

@Hopefulprincess I agree, FX for implantation bleeding!! I'm still bleeding, it's by no means heavy but it's too heavy to be implantation so I'm counting myself as CD2 today!

I get more hopeful each cycle so I'm not feeling down, just happy that I have another chance to try again :D

Fingers crossed for you @hopefulprincess - you might have pcos but I think you said your periods are relatively regular? If so, really early for spotting for af. Where are your temps at?

I’m ok today - work work work. Still only on cd7, but taking temps. So far, ovusense has had roughly the same mini drop as oral, but only two days of data so but early to take scientific comparisons 😂

@chloe are you normally this early?
@rob il try not to get hopes up 🙈 oh no I hope it eases ASAP white cm is good sign if it’s not usual for you in your cycles fx for all
