Anybody in their 2WW?

[MMama18]

Pretty sure I ovulated yesterday (hopefully!), due AF on 13th May, anybody else starting their 2WW?

(Warning: I am a serial symptom spotter and POAS addict, I have zero willpower 😂)

I've just had some pink mucasy spotting. Im 7dpo or there abouts. This maybe a good sign as I doubt I'd have a period 7 days after ovulation??

@josprout 🤞 that’s implantation bleeding for you!

@MMama18 I hope so!! It's pink so that's a good sign xx

@josprout I had implantation bleeding with my DD, just a streak of pink when I wiped! Sounds very promising to me x

@MMama18 it's a little bit more than spotting now but very very light if it's a period? I'm 7-8dpo so early isn't it. I'll have to wait it out i think. X

@josprout are you fresh off of any birth control? It could just be that your cycles are all over the place. A rise in LH and a positive OPK doesn’t necessarily mean you definitely ovulated I don’t think, especially if your body is still getting back into a rhythm. Unfortunately it is a case of just waiting I think 😫 x

@MMama18 yes I came off last month and haven't had a period yet but was checking my cm and it was like egg white so I did an ovulation test and they came back peak so was a true reflection of my cm. prob is my period so will just class this as cd1 if so and roll on next month x

Hi All, mind if I join? Need some advice! Currently on cycle 8. I'm 11dpo (sorry tmi upcoming!) just dtd and noticed a very pale pink blood when cleaning up after. Could this be an implantation bleed?! I never ever spot between periods and although I am due af on Monday I suffer with really painful periods so can always feel them coming before it arrives and I don't feel anything!?

Could it be? Do I dare to dream?!?

@showmethegin I'm not too sure but you maybe able to do an early test? It's such a mind field isn't it!

@showmethegin welcome! It could well be! If it is implantation then you’ll need to wait a few days for the hormones to build up to be detectable on a test, 3-4 days I think they say so I’d test 14/15DPO (or earlier if you can’t wait but don’t be too disheartened with a BFN!) when is AF due?

Sorry! You already said Monday 🤦‍♀️ Monday would be okay to test I think as that’d be 3 days after implantation... Tuesday would be better if you can hold out and AF doesn’t show!

Thanks @josprout and @MMama18

Yes it is a mind field! Worries about getting my hopes up as it's the 8th cycle. Due AF on Monday. Have some FRER burning a hole in my bathroom cabinet!

Do try to hold out - getting a result on a chemical can be very sad from experience! If you’re tracking bbt, try not to let a downward line prompt you into “checking” (these are all do as I say rather than as o have done...)

@Kiskcasa I know, how great am I at telling people to wait... then POAS at 10DPO myself... 😂

No I'm confused. What I bought was implantation bleeding yesterday afternoon which turned more like a period has now stopped. So lasted less than a day really? Maybe just spotting now. Although there was red blood it was mucasy (sorry tmi). Could that still have been implantation bleeding? Only time will tell i suppose. I'm 9/10dpo x

Finally have some spotting so I'm assuming AF has finally decided to turn up after all! Clearly she decided to give me the run around this month 🤦🏻‍♀️

@MrsG3 ahh that's like me. I'm only on first cycle so trying to focus on staying positive for next. It's just an emotional roller coaster. Hope next cycle is positive for you x

And now I'm agony again. AF has arrived. Please pardon my French but I'm so fucking fucking sick of this. For the first time in months I got my hopes up just to be dashed yet again. Doesn't help that my period pains are murder. Just feels like just that extra kicker when I'm down. I really thought I'd finally caught. Sorry for the pity party

@showmethegin that sounds so shit and I completely get you. Our bodies know how to make us feel shits. Head for the Gin/Wine and numb the period pains and try and focus on next cycle. Are you both taking vitamins? We both are and did with first pregnancy. Xx

Thanks @josprout currently treating myself to a big gin and some stand up comedy on tv. I've been taking folic acid, is there anything you recommend? I've heard zinc is good?

To clarify DP is taking folic acid too as I heard it helps men too. He's been amazing, he's quit smoking which he's been trying to do for years and is eating super healthy (as we both are). It's shit isn't it. You spend years thinking one missed pill and you'll be pregnant with quads and the second you actually try it's really hard.

@showmethegin you're right you freak out thinking your pregnant all the time you don't want to be and the minute you want to be it's a whole different ball game.

When we caught with my son (ds1 or whatever I'm meant to call it on these sites- sounds more like a computer consol than a child!!) we used the boots "his and hers" trying to conceive tablets. I got the same this time round. It's just got stuff in that supposedly help boost sperm and then it has vitamins and folic acid etc.

Are you trying for your first? What cycle are you on? We are trying for number 2 and on cycle 2 now

Thanks for the tip! We'll try those, willing to try anything now! Yep, it's our first, cycle 9. Feels like a lifetime. I'm 30, DP (you're right, hate the acronyms!) is 28.

@showmethegin I have to guess what they means have the time. Fmu stumped me for a bit!

Haha. Thanks poppet, I needed that laugh!
