@kiza I could maybe phone my doctor but I feel like I’m wasting her time.

I then started wondering if maybe I was pregnant and that’s why it’s showing peak for so long. But then the blood is scaring me if that’s the case. I’m going to do test tomorrow morning.

So I did a test this morning and it was a very faint positive. If I got pregnant last month I would have expected it to be a strong positive by now. My bbt is also low. And I had a late period last month. And I’m currently bleeding ow around what should be ovulation.

Hi everyone jusy an update. Af currently 4 days late. My cycle is usually 27days. Havent tested yet. Still gettin cramps etc like my af is comin but still no sign. If not here tomoro i will take a test. Finger's crossed xx

Hi ladies .
I hope it’s okay if I join this thread?
I’m hoping I might find someone who’s had the same experience as me....
I had the contraceptive implant solidly for 15 years (from age 17-32) always having a new one in when they needed replacing. Obviously in this time I completely lost track of what my cycle would be doing at any given time (never had any bleeding on it, only each time it was replaced).
I had it out Oct 2019 and had a visit from AF Dec 28th. I’ve had nothing since.
I definitely ovulated on March 25th or 26th as I’ve been tracking it with test strips solidly since January (I was worried after having the implant so long it might have had major negative effects!)
Since Weds of this week I’ve been having a weird pulling sensation in my uterus along with slight pain, nausea and back pain. Along with (TMI alert) lots of watery/milky cm. My cervix also feels really high up and almost out of reach.
DH and I have only really been trying since February and I know not everyone gets a BFP within the first couple of months. I’ve been trying not to get too obsessed with symptom checking, I did a test this morning and it was a BFN but I’ve read you shouldn’t really test until 12DPO.
I’m so confused and I’m just looking for anyone who might have experience of anything similar?

Thank you for listening, sorry it’s such a long post xxxxxxx

I did a digital test and it says 1-2 weeks. We didn’t DTD 1-2 weeks ago. I think this probably means I was pregnant last month and I have lost it and there are still hormones in me.

@XjustagirlX if you had lost the baby that early your hcg would be very low right now and almost non existent! I think you might be pregnant!!!! Stranger things have happened

@Annnny27 thanks for replying. I’m so confused. I’ve attached my last 2 fertility friend graphs. I bled 3 days after when AF was due and I have been spotting for the last 4 days. I can’t work out when I would have even gotten pregnant based on those dates and my bbt being low. The blood is really stressing me out.

Should I phone the doctor or should I wait and do some more tests?

@XjustagirlX I feel inclined to say congrats! My sisters friend bled frequently during her pregnancy once like a normal period and the rest on/off spotting. She said it was scary at first but she had no complications and a healthy baby.
I don't know anything about temping, but maybe on Monday you can phone the early pregnancy unit at your local hospital for some advice/reassurance?
Looking at your chart there's a sudden temp drop around 17th March, did you DTD around then?

@kiza we didn’t DTD at all between 7th and 30th March. So if I got pregnant on 7th March then surely the test should be darker and i would expect it to say 3+ weeks. And if I was pregnant from 30th March it would be too soon to detect anything. I’m so confused.

@xjustagirlx the weeks monitor really means nothing I have read online. I think you implanted on the 17th march

Deffo call the EPU and daily thay you have had a positive pregnancy test and are bleeding. Dont say you had a period at the end of march because that wasnt a period it might have been implantation bleeding potentially

Great advice from @Annny27, also that would make sense wouldn't it if she implanted around 17th then maybe that's why the reading says 1-2 weeks due to the amount of hcg perhaps?

I’m going to do another test tomorrow morning and I’ve going to phone my gp on Monday. I will tell them that I’ve got a positive test but I’ve been spotting for about 4 days but I’ve not had a period.

The test confused me actually as it reads as though it dates from ovulation instead of implantation. I didn’t think hcg started until implantation.

So guys.. This is why i was crampy and being sick. Excited 😊

Hi all, quick flick through is showing lots of positive tests, congratulations to you guys I am nearing 3 months of having no period after stopping the pill which seems to be the agreed point to contact your GP, not sure if they will care given the current circumstances though very frustrated!

Congratulations @gem8930 :)

@XjustagirlX did you retest?

Cd7 for me- not that it matters because no ttc for us this month just gonna see how covid progresses and use this as a chance to understand my normal cycle with absolutely no chance of being pregnant so I can legitimately say "cramps on day 24 are not a pregnancy symptom" haha

@Annny27 I was too scared to test this morning. I thought I would wait 2 days between tests. So I’ll test tomorrow morning.

I was googling and now I’m really worried it’s an ectopic pregnancy. I’m on hold with 111 to get some advice. I’ve been bleeding now for 5 days (brown blood).

I have lots of twinges. But my boobs don’t hurt at all.

Sorry all, have lost track a little bit, but huge congratulations to @Gem8930

@Kiza Hope you're able to figure out what's going on and it's a positive answer for you x

@rathernotshare That is frustrating! No harm in asking your GP at least; you'll probably get an appointment even if it's a little ways off.

I really need to stop speaking so soon lol. I think in my last post I said my "period" was over and had never been much more than brown spitting... Well almost immediately after I posted it turned into a much heavier flow with dark red blood that lasted about 2 days and honestly it's still carrying on as spotting again now. This has definitely been the longest period I've ever had

Still putting it down to coming off the pill early last month, just keen for this period to end so this cycle can crack on lol

@Annny27 I did another test this morning but it was much fainter.

I’ve got an appointment today at 5:30 at the bleeding in early pregnancy unit at the hospital. They are going to do an internal scan. I think it’s a miscarriage though as I really don’t feel pregnant. I’m preparing myself for the worst.

Morning ladies!

@XjustagirlX sorry that you are going through this :( I hope they can give you some answers 💗💗

@CoalCraft yeah probably your first few cycles will be a bit weird when coming off the pill!

Morning all just catching up on the weekends thread.

@XjustagirlX I am sorry that you are going through a tough time, I hope you get some answers as to what has gone one. I have heard of something called a chemical pregnancy so perhaps it is that? Hugs to you anyway.

@CoalCraft I hope you manage to figure out your cycle soon.

@Gem8930 congratulations. I hope all goes smoothly for you.

Due to my confusing cycle last month I started OPK tests on Saturday to gauge when I ovulate. DTD regularly so it's a case of wait and see if we manage to be lucky or not.

I hope everyone is keeping safe and well in the current situation.

@XjustagirlX how did the appointment go today?
@CoalCraft I think it was just a couple of weird cycles after the HSG, at least I O and managed to time DTD over both peaks just in case. Do you think yours was just some spotting before the full flow?

@TinkerbellPuffin87 welcome to the group, a lovely bunch of ladies here at various stages, some newbies and some old timers 😄 I've never had an implant but your symptoms could be Ovulation symptoms or the increase in progesterone during the TWW or indeed could be a wonderful pregnancy. When is AF due for you?

@Gem8930 great news!!! Congratulations! How are you feeling a few days after the positive test?

@Annny27 as the queen of symptom spotting I'm intrigued to see what you discover this cycle! 😆

Early in my TWW and luckily work is a distraction

@Kiza Thank you 🥰. AF is due on Wednesday. Took another test today which was a BFN so I guess I’ll just wait and see if AF comes or not 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hey ladies!

Sorry I've lost track of everyone 🤯 work is still so busy and I don't know what day of the week it is 😂 roll on Friday to get 4 days off 🙂 I have ordered patio furniture and a BBQ so I cannot wait to enjoy Easter in my big garden! So glad we moved from our apartment before all this!!

@XjustagirlX fingers crossed everything is okay 🤞🏼

My GP rang me today to say she is sending me out a kit to do my chlamydia test at home then I just post it back! Wasn't expecting that at all when I seen my phone ringing! So it was a nice surprise! I thought I would have been forgot about in the midst of Covid but it's nice to know they still care!

Not even joking, it's my 26th birthday today. I've been crying all day because let's face it, it's a crap birthday in lockdown and my parents were supposed to be coming to visit but obviously can't (ex military wife so live very very far away) and I haven't seen them since Christmas. Nothing planned and no presents as my present was to go shopping for the day with husband. Gets to 8pm, I throw up I'm like wow this is a bad birthday. And low and behold AF IS HERE! Happy birthday to me from Mother Nature, my first post pill period on CD64!

So I went to the hospital last night. I had an internal scan. She couldn’t see anything. My right tube is clear. But she couldn’t see my left tube as my bowel was in the way. I’m going to ask for another scan tomorrow when I go back to the hospital as I think they should try again to see my left tube as the pain is mainly on the left.

I had a blood test and I’m going for a second blood test tomorrow so they can compare hcg levels.

My nipples have gone bigger and slightly painful. I’m still spotting brown blood. And I’ve got twinges.

The nurse said if the hcg has gone up a lot then I’m pregnant. If it gone up slightly it’s ectopic. And if it’s gone down then it’s a miscarriage.

I’m so terrified of it being ectopic. I doubt it is a normal pregnancy as she would have seen something on the scan. She also said my lining was only 3.7 so quite thin for a pregnancy.
