Hello ladies, I hope you don’t mind me joining your thread. This is my first ever post on MN, although I’ve been reading the forums for a long time! My OH and I have just started TTC and are currently in the 2ww on our first cycle.
I just wanted an opinion if possible. It’s so hard not to obsess over every tiny ‘symptom’ isn’t it?! My cycles are usually 30/31 days long and I’m currently 13DPO. I used clear blue digital advanced OPK so I know when I ovulated. I did a hpt at 11DPO and got a BFN, is there any chance I could still be pregnant? AF is due Weds or Thurs (so 15 or 16 DPO).
The only thing that’s making me second guess is that I’ve had an odd thing happen that I’ve never had before....at 12 DPO I felt a sudden ‘fanny gush’. Sorry, that’s way tmi but it’s what I call it to my OH when I get a sudden run of CM, normally when I’m ovulating
. I thought it was odd coz I knew I wasn’t pregnant coz of the negative test, and it was only 2 or 3 days before AF. Anyway, went to wipe and the paper was covered bright red. I figured AF had come a couple of days early, even though that’s never happened to me before, I’ve had a few weird late periods in the past so I know it’s not too unusual for them to do odd things. But what’s odd is that I went and put my cup in, then took it out the next morning (this morning) and it was empty. Absolutely nothing. Not a spot. And I’ve had it out all day today and not a drop of spotting. Could that have been an implantation bleed? Or would the fact that it was fresh red colour rule that out? One other thing which is definitely not normal for me, but could have been due to something else (like something I’d eaten maybe?) was that the day before I got the little gush/trickle of red I’d felt on 2 occasions that I was being stabbed in the lower left side of my abdomen. A bit like I’ve felt a couple of times around ovulation but about 1000 times stronger. Enough to actually be PAINFUL, to make me double over and not move. But 1min later and it would go. My head is saying it could have just been trapped wind
but another part of me is saying that it’s not normal and I’ve never had it before!
I’m driving myself insane, I can’t think about anything else
I was silly and took another test this afternoon which was also a BFN but it was the middle of the day after lots of drinks so I was just being foolish really. I want to stop over thinking this, but I can’t help it!! It’s so hard to just be chill about it and let what will be just happen!
Sorry for the long post, I’ve already bored my fella with talking this through with him 2 times already but I can’t stop my brain from whirring
