Cd 2

Join me for the inevitable tww madness 😂

Guys I'm so confused! So, two clear strong positives yesterday, two clearblue negatives this morning: walked past them around an hour later and to my shock they were like this! Obviously I know it's way past the time allowed but they're both very blue! Definitely not clear lines! Can I be quietly hopeful until I take another test?

@lunacat96 I really think you are, go and get a FRER!!

Needing some sanity, im 7dpo ive been absolutely shattered the last couple of days with tender boobs and this morning ive woken up to a little spot of orangy blood. Im really hoping its not my period a week early. Need some good vibes guys as im going out of my mind after a miscarriage in november! I think my body is cruel enough to give me a week early period but ive got everything crossed!

@Lunacat96 definitely try a FRER first thing! Blue dye tests are not as sensitive 🤞

@whatsthecraic91 you're not out until she shows! 💪

@busybee143 7DPO spotting could be implantation!

AF is here, good luck to who is waiting to test! I’m jumping over to the Feb bus 🚌 x

Hey guys! I took a frer yesterday which came back as a faint positive but then yesterday afternoon started bleeding it's been fairly light (not like a period) but there has been blood every time I've wiped (sorry if TMI) but it's been pink and not like 'proper blood' if that makes sense. I had a chemical pregnancy in September and with that I had lots of heavy bleeding with alot of pain and cramping: I had some cramping yesterday which lasted about an hour but that's it! I was gutted though! I also still have all of my pregnancy symptoms and with my chemical pregnancy they went instantly! Has anyone had any experience with implantation bleeding or bleeding when pregnant? I think that I'm really clutching at straws now!

@Lunacat96 hi.. in December my tests looked the exact same as yours.. faint FRER and then 2 thin blue lines on clear blue, which unfortunately was a chemical but i was the same as your chemical and symptoms disappeared instantly.. so hopefully its implantation bleeding??

Thanks for getting back to me @Diamond94! It's nice to have someone to talk to about it! I really hope so! Sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy: it does seem very different than to my chemical. It seems to have almost stopped now but I will have to see what happens! The only thing is that it started when my period was due which makes me think it could just be a period as isn't implantation bleeding supposed to happen before your expected period? But then I have had a good 7 or so positive tests in the last week!

@Lunacat96 i suppose everyone is different so could still be implantation bleeding for you! Especially if you maybe ovulated later than you think.. fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

@lunacat96 with my first I had spotting each time I would have got my period of you know what I mean, e.g. 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks. I think it stopped after that. Terrifying each time! The midwives said it was normal. So don't lose hope yet!

Took a cheapy this morning which was no darker than yesterday. I'll take my other FRER tomorrow and hopefully it's darker 😖

Thank you @Diamond94! and @urbansloth really?! It's definitely not like a normal period of mine, no pain or cramps and very light however, I have since had a few small clots (sorry for Tmi!) Which from what I can see on Google is not too great in terms of it being an implantation bleed! If you don't mind me asking, what was your spotting like? It's hard to find descriptions online as to what volume is classed as spotting! After my chemical in September I told myself that I wouldn't test early again! Clearly haven't learned my lesson

And I'm sorry to hear that @urbansloth it's frustrating isn't it!

@Lunacat96 there were never clots, more like brown discharge for a day or so. I would definitely go to the doctor's in a few days if you're worried ❤️

@urbansloth is this your first cycle trying as well? So so jealous. But also congratulations!

My fertile week should be this week, but my DH is poorly. He’s still gone into work, so it’s reasonable for me to ask him to DTD, right?? Not put it off another month? So frustrating. I was at a kids birthday party yesterday and got upset at all the pregnant mums around.

@Needallthesleep no second cycle and I had a chemical last cycle. But I still feel very thankful ❤️ we haven't told anyone yet as it's still very early and my period isn't even late yet so I could have another chemical. Fingers crossed it sticks 🤞 my partner was ill last week and still found the energy to try it on even when it wasn't my fertile week so I definitely think you should 😂👍

How's everyone else doing?

@lunacat96 I hope your bleeding has stopped.

Congrats folks! Always good to hear success stories! @urbansloth I am waiting to test. AF due Thursday but I've been cramping and have had sore boobs since 7 or 8 dpo 🤔 feels too periody to be hopeful though. I did a test 8dpo (ridiculous I know) and it was negative obviously! 😓

Ooh congratulations @urbansloth!! And the bleeding has completely stopped now! So about 2 days of very light pinkish blood and then one wipe which was red blood with a few very small clots (sorry if TMI!!) I do every now and then have very short periods like this though so it wouldn't be completely unusual for me if it was AF! In all honesty I'm 90% sure that it was AF, I've had so many false positive pregnancy tests in the past, I know that people say that you can't get false positives but it's happened to me a few times now! And also my sister had a similar thing the other month where she sent me a test that we was both sure was a very clear BFP and she wasn't pregnant! Metal taste in mouth is still quite strong and I still feel very bloated (which granted is unusual for me after AF) but I think I may just be trying to be hopeful and picking up on symptoms that aren't actually symptoms

Deffo out. Period 2 days early. My menstrual cycles keep getting shorter i have gone from 28/29 days on the implant and when I had the implant out at the beginning of October. And each month since keep losing a day to 25 days this month I ovulated on day 13 so i get to 12 dpo before I start my next cycle. Getting fed up and worried. X

Do you guys think that I should take one last test? The metal taste in my mouth is just getting stronger and stronger!

Hi everyone! Me again I took another test after AF as it only lasted for around two days and was mostly pink, just when wiping except for one wipe when it was red. Still feeling nauseous and have a strong metal taste in mouth: i just couldn't shake the feeling that i was pregnant to took another test, a faint line came up! However it's further away to the control line than what it usually is and after about five minutes it disappeared completely! Last Monday I had two positives that didn't fade. It's so frustrating as I only took the test to confirm that I wasn't pregnant so that I could move on but it's just left me feeling so much more confused! Took one straight after which was negative but urine was very diluted. I'd really appreciate advise if anyone has had a similar experience with positive lines being further away from control and then fading. Also, if I was having positives a week ago, surely they should be stronger by now and not fading away?!

I'm out guys 😭 cycles seem short recently...only 25 days this time. Can't help but worry. @Lunacat that must be so confusing! Hope you get a more definite answer very soon. Thanks all. Off to find another bus... xx

PS @sparkler07 just read your message and looks similar to my predicament. 25 days my last 3 cycles. Fed up and worried too. Here's hoping we needn't worry and get out bfp in Feb X

@Lnix and @sparkler07 my cycles were down to 26 days (I think because of breastfeeding) and ovulated on CD15 this cycle and still got BFP! So will be keeping all things crossed for you! 🤞❤️

@Lunacat96 so sorry I don't have any advice for you 😔 maybe go to the doctor to see if they can confirm by blood test?

@Urbansloth Thankyou. Aww thats fab news 😀. X

@urbansloth thank you for sharing!!! I have been freaking myself out massively with thoughts of short cycles, luteal phase and hormones... Feel like have been trying for so long now! I don't temp but do opks and I always catch the surge...so then I'm like WHY is this not working every time?! Reassuring to hear your experience. Congrats again x
