@loulou922 do you have a photo?! I'd test tomorrow with FMU 😂

Loulou922 · 16/10/2019 20:27

Useful chat @Zeldetta and @croissantmonster as I've been having a short luteal phase too. I keep getting excited when I spot around 9DPO thinking it's implantation, then I realise that I'm on CD26 and AF is 'due'. I've started pregnacare and B12 a couple weeks ago now so I was hoping that would help, might also try adding in some vitamin c too.

Sorry to hear that @Treaclepie19, I'll see you on the Nov bus x

croissantmonster · 16/10/2019 20:54

@Fredthespider ugh the spotting/potential ib/af game, it's the worst.
I don't track ovulation, just go off CM and the odd pain, but I'm pretty sure I'm spotting by the end of 9dpo and def by 10. Like you say, so very annoying that it coincides with the average time of implantation.
I've heard some say wait until after af to take the vitamins but then somewhere that it can help healthier ovulation even if it's slightly later. I'll give it a pop for the whole cycle and report back!

Came to check how everyones getting on and @mrssunshinexxx I'm sooo happy you finally got your BFP! Congratulations xxx

mrssunshinexxx · 17/10/2019 07:46

Thank you @sao81 I'm so pleased when are you due again? Xx

Tamalama · 17/10/2019 07:57

@Sophieb15 according to my apps I'm in my fertile window. I started using my cb opk yesterday but I I've started a new test holder for this month so I know it'll be low for a couple of days. I've also ordered some IC so I don't miss the surge.
However, I'm still not well. My cough and general sinus problems just won't shift but they're refusing to give me antibiotics. I've been to the doctors 3 times and I'm waiting on the results of a chest x ray that I had on Monday. Ive been unwell for a month 😕 I worry that any virus/infection I have may affect ovulation or implantation. I'm off work today, I just feel completely exhausted and run down so I'm having a day of bed rest.

How is everyone getting on?

Tamalama · 17/10/2019 08:02

@mrssunshinexxx how many times did you dtd this month, if you don't mind me asking? X

mrssunshinexxx · 17/10/2019 08:07

@Tamalama
26th, 28th, 29th and 2nd got my static on the 2nd xx sorrry to hear you are still unwell :(

Tamalama · 17/10/2019 09:07

@mrssunshinexxx when did you start getting your flashing smileys? X

Sophieb15 · 17/10/2019 09:32

@Loulou922 I can't see a second line on that. Try wait until FMU tomorrow and test again?

@Tamalama I hope you get your static soon. I don't think being sick affects ovulation but I'm not sure. I can't believe your still sick did you try taking vit c?
I'm just waiting for AF now I'm 10 DPO have been cramping since 6 DPO eased a bit yesterday and just backache this morning. Just want it to be the weekend and not have to work. My plan next month is to just BD when we feel like it and just make sure we do day of positive OPK and the day after. It's too stressful trying to do every 2nd day!!!

@mrssunshinexxx What way did OH react? xx

Tamalama · 17/10/2019 09:37

@Sophieb15 I know, it's been over a month! 😕 no I haven't taken any vitamin c but I think I probably should. I took another CB test this morning but it's still showing as low. I know that can happen for the first few days so I'm not feeling too down about it. I hope af stays away!! If she does arrive, I think your plan for next month is a good one 😊 this ttc business is just so stressful ☹️ x

ceebee21 · 17/10/2019 09:50

Flashing smileys are the bane of my life haha.

Anyone else just get constant negatives on IC sticks? I swear before I used to get a faint line fairly regularly... now they are just plain white, not even a hint of a line for days... but I have the flashing smiley.

xx

sao81 · 17/10/2019 09:53

@mrssunshinexxx my midwife dated me 27th May, just waiting on my 12 week scan to confirm xx

Sophieb15 · 17/10/2019 10:19

@Tamalama I've read up on people having bad cramping and still getting BFP but I can't see that happening to me Sad What CD are you?

@ceebee21 That's weird about the Cheapies I took one this morning just to see and had a good 2nd line and i'm due AF Sunday.

OP posts:
ceebee21 · 17/10/2019 10:35

@Sophieb15 Yeah I thought weird as well... who knows.

Fingers crossed for a BFP for you then... you know when I fell pregnant I took a IC OPK and had a line... but this was also after OV and I ended up with a BFP - I think the IC was registering the HCG. xx

Sophieb15 · 17/10/2019 10:49

@ceebee21 I wasn't even that faint but with all the cramping I doubt it Sad

OP posts:
ceebee21 · 17/10/2019 10:59

@Sophieb15 you never know. Have you had any other kind of symptoms.

When are you testing... just once AF is late?

Treaclepie19 · 17/10/2019 11:04

@Sophieb15 last pregnancy I had heavy bleeding and cramping and was still pregnant so you just never know. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

Sophieb15 · 17/10/2019 11:30

@ceebee21 boobs are getting sorer each day feel different than they normally do but I always seem to have something different each month happen and still get AF feeling a bit fed up now after 9 months

@treaclepie19 Thank you. What did docs say about the bleeding? That must have been scary.

OP posts:
ceebee21 · 17/10/2019 11:47

@Sophieb15 have you done a test yet?
x

Sophieb15 · 17/10/2019 11:53

@Ceebee21 no I try not to test early!! I'm only 10 DPO. My cramping is fine when i'm at home its when i'm sitting down here in work is so uncomfortable. Its a dull ache and I'm afraid to take anything

mrssunshinexxx · 17/10/2019 11:54

@Tamalama the 30th I think from memory now I've changed flow to pregnancy mode it's lost all my stuff ? Xx

@Sophieb15 is was amazing I recorded it and will be a moment I remember forever very emotional I've already watched it like 6 times  I really hope you get lucky this month and boobs might be the clue they were for me x

@sao81 ace mine is 23rd June so slightly behind you I'm on the due June 2020 thread maybe you should join incase you go overdue then we can keep in touch xx

Treaclepie19 · 17/10/2019 12:54

@Sophieb15 it was! They just put it down to implantation bleeding. I was convinced I'd miscarried.

Loulou922 · 17/10/2019 16:29

So tested this morning and saw no line. I'm 10dpo so I know it's not over until AF Arrives but I feel really sick and exhausted and I'm sort of convincing myself I am. so will be so dissapointed if AF does come.
