3dpo and looking for TTC friends

[Lolliloo1234]

Hi,

I’m 29 and on cycle 2 of TTC. I’m 3dpo and now in my two week wait. I have no friends with children or anyone who is TTC so looking for online buddies to ride this out with!

Anybody in the same boat as me who wants to chat and be a little neurotic together?

Xx

Double posted whoops 🤣

I had implantation bleeding with my dd! It's totally possible- I had it start 9dpo and bfp 10dpo. Although this time round ttc I've had spotting end of my cycle at 10dpo which screws with my brain each time. Probably low progesterone i guess.
I've had spotting 3dpo this month so no idea what that's about!

Glad you are feeling a bit better @mrsmummy111 it's a long old journey and has lots of ups and downs but it's worth it in the end.

@Sammyclaire22 that’s wild!!!! I honestly thought it was a complete myth. If you don’t mind me asking (feel free to say no) but what did the bleeding look like? Mines stopped, for now. I’m 7dpo.

My DP and I went for a really long walk and I had a really good cry so I feel better no matter the outcome. I’m hoping it’s not my period purely from the progesterone stand point! My cycles have lengthened dramatically before this one so I’m annoyed it’s all topsy turvy. I just think I’m not going to be one of the lucky ones for it to be IB and not period.

Haha no worries... From what I remember it was just some brown staining in my pants or when i wiped for a day or so. I also had darker nipples and sore boobs. It was the first time I ever bought a frer as I'd had my ectopic the month before after 12m of ttc so my head was all over the place. I was sure I was pg, but looking back I can't believe how lucky I was- I've been sure so many times this time round and it's been a dud lol.
I would be surprised if it was AF, but there can be other causes for spotting mid cycle apparently. I have cervical erosion so used to get it after sex sometimes, or some yeast infections can cause it or you can get a random oestrogen surge apparently too.

But if you feel normal down there and spotting isn't normal for you then it might be a sign, especially if it only lasted the day. Only time will tell but fc for you!

Hi ladies

How are you today? Update: been given antibiotics for an infection (small dose this time) and the bleeding has stopped. Don’t know if it’s a coincidence because I’ve only taken one pill. Will have to see.

Bit wary of taking antibiotics if it was implantation bleeding but they’re pregnancy safe and I couldn’t carry on as I was.

Hopefully they help if it was an infection @Lolliloo1234.

Was it fresh blood or more like old blood? As that may help you work it out. As far as I know (@Sammyclaire22 correct me if I'm wrong) but implantation bleeding isn't normally brown isnt it? Eeeee weirdly exciting for you as it could mean something!

I mean IS normally brown

@mrsmummy111 it was brown. Not red or pink at all. I normally get one or two days of brown before my period starts properly so I was full expecting it to get heavier so it’s super odd that it’s stopped completely. I’m trying not to get my hopes up and remain logical. I think I’ll allow myself to get a little excited tomorrow if AF doesn’t kick in and today was just a fluke!

IB can be either I think- generally it's classed as light bleeding or spotting that only lasts a day or so around when AF is due. I had fresh bleeds when i was pregnant too (some were heavy) so can be anything until you know what the cause is.
If you have symptoms of an infection then it might well be that though, but fc it's not!

@Sammyclaire22 well no idea wtf is going on still. One wipe of brown today (not a lot at all), no need for a pad or anything but no period. Definitely got period symptoms, absolutely wiped out and boobs are sore. Took a FRER and negative so who bloody knows what’s going on. I doubt this is implantation bleeding because it doesn’t normally last this long I don’t think. It’s like a backwards period because it’s getting lighter, not heavier!

Hopefully it’ll stop before Sunday when AF is due so my cycle will actually be normal again by the time AF comes.

Any symptoms for you two ladies?

Any update @Lolliloo1234

No bog all happening here. Zero symptoms - 7DPO today 😊

7DPO here too @eloise19888 ! (Well, at least I think so. Not entirely sure exactly when I ovulated)

Similarly no symptoms though. Think by now I'd be feeling something so just preparing myself for AF 🙁

How you doing @Lolliloo1234 - any more bleeding?

@mrsmummy111 @eloise19888 tiniest bit of bleeding - just a swipe again. So it’s definitely gone on too long to be implantation. Feel absolutely horrendous today. Thought I was going to vomit on my way into work. I think I’m unwell. I had THE sharpest pain in my lower right abdomen last night, it took my breath away.

7dpo is super early - you won’t get symptoms until you implant which is between 6&12dpo!

I really hate it when people give others false hope, but it just sounds so much like pg symptoms. I really really think implantation bleeding is unusual and totally different for each woman so I honestly wouldn't rule it out. I would keep testing as your body can do very weird things. Fingers, toes, arms & legs crossed for you!

Forgot to tag you @Lolliloo1234

@mrsmummy111 thank you! I’m not holding out any hope. I just think I’m poorly. I’m going to have to go home from work I think, I feel sick to my stomach, I’m exhausted (my eyes are stinging I’m so tired) and TMI but I’m constipated. All of these could be bloody covid at this rate!

This bleeding scenario is just bizzare. I just can’t see a way of bleeding for four days (albeit a wipe each time apart from Monday) and something good coming from it. Thank you for your kind words, they really make me feel better!!

@Lolliloo1234 did you go home in the end? Hope you're feeling a bit better. If you have come down with something it's bloody terrible timing.

On the other hand, if you are pregnant ITS TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!!

Ahh @Lolliloo1234 sounds like a nightmare, it's not good you are feeling so rough with it. Are the antibiotics still helping? How many dpo are you now?

My first pregnancy I had a normal period and the gp said it was implantation bleeding even though it was heavy and for days (literally a normal period). Turned out it was ectopic, (it was different bleeding than you are having so I'm not comparing them) but it shows the gp at least thought IB can present in random ways.

I'm 8dpo and having the odd twinge but nothing else to report really. One min I have high hopes the next I think what's the point! Glad we are all in the boat together!

@mrsmummy111 I did in the end, trying to keep up with excitable little people whilst you feel like crap is bloody hard! Thank goodness my colleague let me go home. Just been sat on the sofa since I got in.

@Sammyclaire22 the antibiotics are kind of working but now I’m sure they’ve given me a UTI. Lmao with one hand they give, with the other they take away. I’ve never had so many issues 😂😂
That’s so bizzare that a doctor would put it down to that. That’s such a shit thing to happen to you, I’m sorry.

8dpo is super early still...I find that this whole thing is like a Russian roulette, the odds are low but you still sometimes luck out?!

Hi,
So I took a pregnancy test and there’s a faint second line BUT I’m bleeding much more heavily today so I think that whatever it was/is will probably not be there much longer. I’ll take another test on Sunday to rule out anything more sinister but I think that’s me out for this month!

Hello! I’m new here. I’m 29 and I turn 30 this year. My DH (darling husband) and I have been TTC (trying to conceive) for a year with no luck. 3/4 of that year was spent with him working offshore but he now is home for good. I have no bio children and no known fertility issues. It gets frustrating when I feel like I’m doing everything as far as opks to make sure we have sex before during and after ovulation. I got a strong positive ovulation test on May 8th so according to my app today is 6dpo. I’m really praying and hoping this is my month

@Lolliloo1234 ah I’m sorry you’re bleeding, I’d say don’t give up hope but I’m not sure that’s fair, we are all with you as you ride it out xxx my period was 2 days late last month and much heavier than normal following that very faint line, I’m sure there was something going on so I do have an idea of what you’re going through. However some people do bleed when pregnant so I still have my fingers crossed for you xxxx

Hi @Attybae welcome!

Oh I'm sorry to hear that @lolliloo1234, it still might have a positive outcome (I had heavy bleeds with my dd) but if the test gets stronger or doesnt fade contact your gp incase you need an early scan. Either way its a mind feck for you so sending big hugs xx

The bleeding has stopped again. I just would like AF to hit properly now (never thought I’d say that as what is going on is cruel). I have a UTI (more antibiotics) and that residual infection (still taking those antibiotics) and the weird daily morning bleeding.
I think today is a hibernation day. Hopefully whatever will be will have been by Sunday when AF was origionally due so I’ll get an answer.

I don't blame you, curl up warm and look after yourself. I hope you feel better soon xx
