Morning ladies

Sorry I have been quiet but I have been pretty busy! The leaking roof saga continues, 11pm last night and we were taking our blooming blinds down and water was pouring out- not ideal especially when there’s a weather warning in place 😭 how are we all?

@whatsthecraic91 how are you feeling now? I hope AF has calmed down!

@Jessikka welcome back lovely how are you?

@cupcakesandglitter how are you getting on?

@MrsH497 sorry to hear AF may be here! I think implantation can either be very light pink or darker brown but not red like a period, I have had very light pink before (last time)

I’m 10DPO today, I have been exhausted all weekend due to poor sleeps! Just cleaned the house including a kitchen deep clean and about to head out for lunch with DP ☺️ Hope everyone is having a smashing Sunday!

@Blossomingflower94 I am CD14 of a usually 24/25 day cycle.

I hope you have a lot of success with them! I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you. Reading up they say you may get a more accurate result if you test more than once a day and typically not FMU (I think!)

When are you going to start using them? X

Thankyou for the welcomes ladies. I cant tag as I've a new phone and can't get the list of names when I @ like I did with my iphone!
I'm very well. Got my BFP yesterday so just letting it sink in atm!
I've been reading and keeping tabs but just wanted a step back from it all!

@MrsH497 mine was brown BUT I've read plenty of threads where women have had heavy red flow (and even clotting) so I think it's varied for everyone xx

@Lozzlepop I'm good thankyou, 6+2 today but 8 weeks according to NHS 😂 xx

Well I'll see how it goes it's mainly brown nothing when I wipe and hardly anything on a tampon

Oh huge congratulations @Jessikka that's super exciting news!

Congratulations @Jessikka

@Larrydavid normally about 34 days 😊 I knew I wouldn't be as well but always get giddy around the end of the 2 weeks anyway 😅😅

@MrsH497 I had spotting for 4 days then AF arrived with an almighty bang. I had convinced myself it was implantation bleeding but it wasn’t. Not to be a killjoy but just don’t get your hopes up too much x

@Lozzlepop OMG that sounds like a nightmare! Hope you’ve got sorted now!?

AF had calmed down to be none existent! Weirdest period ever, flowing like a river Friday and Saturday and today it’s gone, so I don’t know if my period lasted Mon-Sat (mon-thurs just spotting when I wiped) or 2 days? (Fri-sat) really tempted to start my CB OPKs in the morning incase this is CD7 or is this CD3 - really don’t know 🙈🙈

@whatsthecraic91 I'm not getting hopes up I'm just upset it's a much shorter cycle (and therefore luteal phase) than I've ever had.
This is completely demoralising

@MrsH497 I know, when I started this journey never did I think it would take this long! Everywhere I look people are pregnant & most of the people I know who are it wasn’t planned, it completely blows my mind how people have accidents 😓

@whatsthecraic91 how long have you been on this nightmare journey?!

@MrsH497 took my last pill on Christmas Eve 😢 so this is cycle 8! what about you?

Hi ladies! Hope you've been having a lovely weekend!

@ELW85 ah glad you enjoyed your date night!! Definitely, I will tell you all about it 😊😊

@Lemonysherbet @Larrydavid @Sunshine8888 cycle buddies! I'm 10dpo today too  will be holding off till Wednesday to test 🤞🏽

@Larrydavid glad you like the look of the femometer! Hope it works well for you and good luck with temping :)

@cupcakesandglitter ahh can't believe your 6+2 already, how exciting! Hope you've been feeling okay :) x

@Anny27 nooo, my temp dipped this morning, almost to the coverline, so I didn't test. It's probably a good thing as I think it would have been a waste of a test! I'm hoping it's an implantation dip, but will see what happens with the temp in the morning.
Your signs are sounding positive for ovulation coming soon! How has SMEP been going?

@MrsH497 ah no, I'm sorry it seems like you've got some spotting. Keeping everything crossed that you're still in and she isn't showing up!! ❤️

@Lozzlepop oh no sorry to hear the roof isn't any better! Is there still a long wait before they come look at it?
Hope you had a good lunch. Well deserved after a deep clean!

@Jessikka congratulations!

So I had some weird cramping earlier, similar to what I have when AF is about to show. My boobs are still as sore as ever (it's been the same the whole cycle), no other symptoms though really.

This weekend has gone so fast! Have just got back from Sunday lunch at my in laws, trying to relax after all that food consumption 😂
Hope you're all having a nice Sunday evening ❤️

@whatsthecraic91 started trying November last year stopped taking the pill last September. Had a miscarriage in May so now approaching cycle 10 and feel more upset every cycle.

Thanks @LokiCat currently just upset potentially a 25 day cycle and 9 day luteal phase which is very not normal for me

@MrsH497 so sorry about your miscarriage

It’s so frustrating every cycle you think this is it & then AF comes and ruins your life!

Thanks @whatsthecraic91 just makes each month harder. Really struggling with my emotions

@Lottiepink - ooh! How long until your hols? How exciting!

@MrsH497 - my implantation bleed was brown and v light spotting that lasted roughly 2.5 days, if that helps?
I’m sorry your cycle is being weird and you’re feeling a bit down. Be kind to yourself x

@LokiCat - thank you my lovely, I will definitely start my research and then ask for tips :)
This weekend has gone waaaay too quickly. We’ve just had a chippy tea though so at least we’re going out on a high 😂

@Lottiepink judging from the ladies on here who have had their BFPs, i think AF cramps and symptoms and early pregnancy ones are very similar so you arent out till AF arrives :D

@lozzlepop do you plan to starr trying again next cycle or still going to take some time off?

@LokiCat symptoms sounds promissing so let's hope its an implantation dip 🤞🤞🤞 SMEP is going well! Think we will get our peak tomorrow and DTD this morning so that will mean 4 days in a row if we follow the plan completley.....haha! We'll see how that works out 😂😂

Hope you're all having a good Sunday :)

Thanks @ELW85. Mainly brown some red but not at any point anywhere near filled a tampon (sorry tmi!!) today. I think realistically it's AF. Worried about the short cycle and luteal phase

OMG when you write a huge message and it all gets deleted 🙈

@Jessikka congratulations on your BFP that’s amazing news! How are you feeling?

@cupcakesandglitter that’s fantastic, how have you been keeping? ❤️

@MrsH497 how are you doing? Are you still spotting?

@whatsthecraic91 No unfortunately it’s still leaking, they are coming out on Tuesday so hopefully they can resolve it then 🤞🏻 That’s annoying, has your cycle ever done this before?

@LokiCat sounds like you’ve have a fab day! I’m 10DPO too ☺️ a lot of cycle buddies! Someone is coming out on Tuesday so fingers crossed they fix the issue 🤞🏻 Lunch was lovely and deffo deserved ☺️ Feeling very snoozy this weekend!

@Lozzlepop I'm ok not been the most cheerful person to be around! Realistically it's probably AF just behaving weirdly!!
I've not filled a tampon at all today and it's mainly brown with some red.

I'll get there just a bad day!

@Anny27 the plan is to start trying again next cycle! AF due Friday so just need her to come then we can get in with it!

@MrsH497 sorry to hear AF is being a Bitch! Be kind to yourself, have some chocolate and chill! I hope you feel better tomorrow ❤️

@MrsH497 try not to worry yourself too much (easier said than done I know!!) but it could just have been an anovulatory cycle which is totally normal xx

Fine Thankyou @Lozzlepop @LokiCat I've had nothing so far really other than a little bit of nausea and having to have a nap every day, but feeling good and tbh not pregnant at all! I thought the hard part was TTC but honestly this wait is so much worse, I'm more anxious than I've ever been! After over a year I thought I'd be more prepared for this but after mcs and cps it's completely new! X
