@Quiffy I've started spotting this morning, sorry if TMI but I am getting brown cm when I wipe so I think it's the beginning of AF? I'm due in 3 days so I'm sure it's too late to be implantation bleeding...

Quiffy · 18/11/2019 09:32

@kylieeee Brown sounds promising. I've been researching a lot on implantation and seen a lot of people saying just before AF they got implantation so 3 days before could be it! Also seen a lot that turns into AF too though unfortunately. Our bodies are super confusing - makes me wonder why I put so much effort into not getting preggers for so long hehe.

Sammyclaire22 · 18/11/2019 10:50

@lilice I think maybe 10 or 11dpo? Last time I got a clear frer at 9dpo but who knows. No sore boobs this time either. Feel like I'm due to come on though, little twinges today. Just annoyed at myself for doing the opks! Trying to keep busy today as i will find out one way or another this week.
Good luck to all the spotters.... hopefully it's the sign of some good news to come! X

@Quiffy does your AF usually start with brown spotting?

@Sammyclaire22 yes keeping yourself is the way to go. Ill be doing the same, feeling anxious as AF is approaching and I have absolutely zero symptons compared to previous months, but then again I imagine it's the supplements im taking as they're supposed to ease pms symptons which is not too bad after all

Quiffy · 18/11/2019 12:12

@Lilice Nop, I never usually get spotting. My usual app says I should be getting AF on Thursday 21st, other app saying tomorrow. My spotting started on Thursday 14th with pretty red blood spotting to a few times where it seemed a little more on the verge of light period. Never enough to really mark a pad more than a tiny smear. I'm used to changing tampons every couple of hours and AF appearing fast and heavy.

Today I am in a lot of discomfort. Spotting is now down to just a twinge of pink on loo roll but I have a really sore back and a mix of pressure pain under my belly button and occasionally some stabbing pains. Feeling pretty sick, not hungry and discomfort putting me off my work. Which could be a sign that my true AF is about to show. Who knows at this point groan.

@quiffy that all sounds promising, especially if it’s out of the norm!

Bit late to the party, but mind if I join? Am currently in the 2ww but driving myself mad trying not to test, so thought joining a board might help me resist! TTC #2, 3rd cycle, think I ovulated early last week, so should be about half way through 2ww.

Got pregnant really quickly with #1 so actively TTC is all new to me and AF hit me really hard last month (was 4 or 5 days late so was really beginning to hope it might be pregnant!).

Good luck to everyone waiting to find out!

Lolastanley · 18/11/2019 13:24

@Mangoandlimes welcome! How far are you in terms of DPO? When do you think you’ll test?

I’m 10DPO and resisted so far!

Quiffy · 18/11/2019 13:27

@lolastanley Fingers crossed, I'll need to see what this week brings.

@Mangoandlimes Hello! Love your username! The wait really is torture.

Mangoandlimes · 18/11/2019 13:58

@Lolastanley positive opk last Monday, so I think I'm 7dpo (possibly 6). Well done for holding out and good luck!

itssquidstella · 18/11/2019 14:01

I've been lurking here for a while, hello! I'm hoping for some advice as google hasn't been very helpful!

I ovulated last week on either Tuesday or Thursday and had ewcm (clear and stretchy) on Monday and Tuesday.

I'm somewhere between 4 and 6 dpo now and have got lots of weird cm: it's white rather than clear, but feels similar to ewcm in its stretchiness.

Does anyone know what this means? Normally my cm is either very watery or lotiony after ovulation.

Lilice · 18/11/2019 14:02

@Mangoandlimes welcome, hopefully you'll be third time luck
@Lolastanley when are you planning on testing?

Is anyone still DTD during the 2ww? Ive read it can help stick it and we've carried on every other day this cycle.

Lolastanley · 18/11/2019 14:09

@Mangoandlimes it’s mainly because I am almost 100% it won’t be positive.

OP posts:
Sammyclaire22 · 18/11/2019 17:34

My new frer arrived today- still a bfn and used an opk just to see and that was now pretty much negative too. No idea why they were positive opks yesterday. At least I have my answer now! Role on next month!

Lolastanley · 18/11/2019 20:47

@Sammyclaire22 I’m not sure about OPK, this is the first month I’ve tried them to test for pregnancy and j wish I had saved my money. They test for a completely different hormone so I wouldn’t worry about your positive, has your AF arrived yet?

OP posts:
Quiffy · 18/11/2019 20:50

Was going to ask the same @Sammyclaire22 has your AF arrived?

Sammyclaire22 · 18/11/2019 21:12

No, not due until Thursday. Sorry for being an utter pain to-ing and fro-ing ladies x

Quiffy · 18/11/2019 21:27

Not at all. I’m doing the same thing. One minute I’m planning on the dtd dates out with other plans (how romantic hehe) for next cycle and next I’m totally convinced I’m due a BFP.

I stopped spotting for about 8 hours today, then it popped up for one wipe and now tiny pink again. It’s enough to drive you mad.

Sammyclaire22 · 18/11/2019 21:48

It's so frustrating isn't it! Not enough to be totally sure, so you have to be practical and plan ahead. But then enough to give you hope to start dreaming.
How long have you been spotting for? I still say its a very good sign. When are you due/ testing? X

Quiffy · 18/11/2019 21:57

This is me on day 5 of spotting. I’ve used to FRERs with BFN and don’t want to waste anymore. Due Thursday too so just going to wait until then.

Quiffy · 18/11/2019 21:58
  • two even oops
Lolastanley · 18/11/2019 21:59

@Quiffy that sounds promising if it’s unusual for you? I haven’t had any spotting or bleeding, not sure if that’s a good or bad sign! I decided to do a FRER tonight with about 3 hours of held urine and it was hugely negative. Still got 5 days left til AF though so fingers crossed. I just wish I had a sign, just keep having on and off cramps form left, right and centre of lower abdomen. :(

OP posts:
Sammyclaire22 · 18/11/2019 22:31

Sorry to hear that @lolastanley but still plenty of time to go!
I blame Amazon and their offer on frer and with next day delivery. I would have been far more resistant if i didn't think I could get hold of some so easily!
Really hope it's your month ladies!

Quiffy · 18/11/2019 22:41

Definitely early @Lolastanley! Fingers crossed for you both. Would be a nice early present for everyone:)

whambam89 · 18/11/2019 22:48

Hi all, hopefully not too late to join! Currently 10 dpo, AF due Friday (although typically since deciding on TTC my cycles have been all over the place 🙄) had some very light cramping at 7 dpo, lasting most of the afternoon and into the next day. Then today I'm uncomfortably bloated which is never usually a pre AF symptom for me. A little bit of nausea but I could be imagining that. Trying really hard not to symptom spot because I basically convince myself every month 😂 4th month TTC, had a chemical pregnancy on month 1
