Is anyone else around 6dpo?

[Emae26]

Hey, I'm around 6dpo but I have an average of 31 day long cycle so still got about 9 days until AF is due. I've had some twinges yesterday but today I had some cramps that were like mild period pains and a dot of blood in pants (sorry a bit tmi), so hopefully this is implantation 🤞
Just wondering if anyone else is in a similar time in their cycle that wants to obsess with me for the rest of their cycle? 😂🙈

@sshl massive congratulations! Lovely line 😍 wishing you all the best xxx

@Emae26 you never know though. I was convinced my period was coming last night and kept checking as it was so similar in feeling. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Thank you @Em1194 😊

@Emae26 the same here, I'm still trying to be positive as it's not quite the same as usual period style - plus at the end of the day, if one can get in for a bit at least, that's half the battle won, I just have to work on getting it to stay in!
Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Ohhh sorry to hear that @Emae26, but don't give up yet!

@sshl that really does help, thank you! More than anything else, I was hoping the same in that I used to travel a lot for work and it wasn't always possible to be together during my FW, so I thought being home together all the time might make a difference. And I totally agree that doing something really helps, mentally if nothing else. Time to calm down, because I still tend to get frustrated and upset... maybe fertility meditation...

@beachbum85 my pleasure I hope it helps.

I was looking at fertility meditation and yoga, it's meant to be great even if just for your sanity and calm and it can't hurt that's for sure.

I think that feeling more in control has really helped because before I was just hoping that I was ovulating etc but because I wasn't using LH strips I didn't know, I would then think maybe I'm not etc and I'd stress something was wrong with one of us etc etc etc then get annoyed at myself my partner. Sounds awful to say that but when you want something so bad.

Keeping everything crossed for you xx

@sshl really? That gives me some hope. Just praying AF stays away
@CopperSelkie it's so hard not to get disheartened isn't it? Fingers crossed for you 🤞
@beachbum85 trying my best not too!

Had a social distanced visit with my in laws today and my mother in law was conviced we were going to tell them I was pregnant and about how one of her friends had a gut feeling we were going to... she doesn't know our situation and it was so hard to stop myself crying and just act like she was completely off ect. They don't mean anything by it but everytime we see them they either think I'm pregnant or mention about grandkids in some way and it's so hard...

Wow got some catching up to do! Congratulations @sshl and @Em1194 that’s brill news! Hope to see more BFPs on here soon!
AF is due tomorrow for me and I’m pretty sure she is indeed on her way but you never know x

@Nat4392 thanks so much 😊 keeping my fingers crossed for you xxx

CONGRATSSSS @Em1194 & @sshl 💃🏾💃🏾

Hoping for more BFPs in here 💕

Thanks for the congrats guys 😊

Fingers crossed for everyone for lots of positives xx

@beachbum85 yes tested again this morning and bfn on frer but a squinter on an easy@home - I’ll post the pic below. Not due on till Friday (same as you, no?) so still relatively early days. You and @Emae26 have amazing restraint!! X

@kell2126 I think I can see a line there, again! Hope it keeps progressing!

I'm due on Thurs, but am often a couple of days late, so I'll test on Fri if I have no spotting or AF by then. I ovulate pretty early, so I should be around 14dpo already, and the tempatation to test is really increasing. But I find each BFN really difficult, so I have no tests at home and I'll try hold out on buying one till Thurs.

Hey, hope everyone is doing well.
I've had some more spotting today and it's now a pinky red colour... think there is little hope for me at the point

Sorry to hear that @Emae26 - I know how disheartening that is
BUT, you're not out yet! I hope the spotting stops for you, or if it has to be AF, it shows up quickly so you can put it behind you and start a new cycle xx

I just discussed my thyroid test results with the GP, and I have some raised values so, although he didn't seem bothered, lots of health sites say it will be harder for me to fall pregnant. Looking into what I can do about that, but not feeling too positive at all...

@beachbum85 thank you for you're support. I'm now about 12dpo and about 3 days away from when I would expect AF, is there any chance it could be implantation or something else and not be AF? Wishful thinking I know...

Sorry to hear that. I really hope you find something that can help your chances. Sending lots of love and baby dust your way xx

@Emae26 thank you so much - I really appreciate that xx

I know that implantation can take place between 6-12dpo, so I guess it's possible that it's IB, but I have no personal experience of this as I usually spot before AF, and sometimes up to 5 days before. Sorry, I'm sure that's not what you want to hear right now!
Either way, I'm thinking of you and wishing you luck! Keep us posted

@beachbum85 that's okay xx

I've had spotting before AF before and although my AF is more regular it does sometime come a day late or a day early ect still so I think it's more likely to be AF coming early... but I guess there is still hope until AF fully shows up!
Thank you, I will do

Well I’m out this month, AF arrived today. Onward to cycle #11!

Sorry to hear @Nat4392 I'm coming to terms that no matter what positive 'what if, maybe' spin I try to put on it, thats AF for me too, le sigh. I'm raging at the random 5 days late, and its still an odd not like normal visit all round, so at the weekend I will indulge in the self torture of the 'answer' test I have left, then it's gone so I can't use any until if AF is a no-show again!
Ooft. Congratulations to all BFP and will keep hopes up for those still waiting to see! Commiserations to fellow next cycle tryers, could be our turn very soon!
Thanks all round to you lovely lot though, it's really reassuring to hear real people!
