@Annny27 @orangeloo thank you both. It's nice to know other people have been obsessive like me! I think I need to calm down a little bit. I did do my exercise but now want pity cake! 😂 what have you done after 12 months? Have you gone to the drs? Xxx

Annny27 · 12/06/2020 10:41

@orangeloo I actually conceived 4 months in but miscarried so its only been 6 cycles ttc after the miscarriage so they won't see me until another 6 months when its technically a year of ttc! So just waiting haha

@springdream welcome, I am also 28 :)

@Annny27 haha yes, so relatable! I am pretty sure AF is going to start on properly some time today, the last 3 days so far it's just been brown but getting more cramps as we speak yet I'm still googling about it haha!

LT103 · 12/06/2020 11:24

@croselle. I’m following this now to see what happens with you. I’m going through exact same. Cramps and brown spotting now for 4-5 days. Though af was here yesterday when I got up then it stopped again and just same brown discharge. I’ve never spotted this long before a period before!

Croselle · 12/06/2020 11:37

@LT103 Are you periods usually quite regular and the same? My struggle is they're rarely the same so I have had similar on and off days leading up to mine before but because they're never the same it's always hard to tell and I get a little bit of hope. My boobs have become even more tender today as well!

Peach1204 · 12/06/2020 11:51

@Annny27 so sorry for your loss. Finger crossed you get some amazing news soon! Xxx

beachbum85 · 12/06/2020 14:47

Same here @Croselle and @LT103: I've been having brown spotting and cramps for 4 days. AF was due yd, but still waiting, and feeling like it could be any minute.
My periods are regular but not always the same, and I have spotted for 5 days before, just once but it has happened.

orangeloo · 12/06/2020 15:18

@Peach1204 been ttc 18 months. Have had tests etc. Waiting to be referred to fertility specialist on nhs but heard waiting lists are long. Got progesterone privately to try, 2nd month on that, as I spot every month for about a week before AF. X

Peach1204 · 12/06/2020 15:29

@orangeloo for couple who have been trying a year or more I take my hat off to you as I'm grumpy just after cycle 2! I hope you get seen quickly and get some answers. Xxx

Croselle · 12/06/2020 15:52

@beachbum85 isn't the female body such a complex thing! Fingers crossed for us all that if not this time, soon we'll get our BFP's..

Keep me updated and you @LT103, want to know if and when AF comes.. I am sure mine is imminent. If it hasn't arrived properly by Sunday I may do a test but I don't want to be disappointed when I feel deep down I know it's just AF.

LT103 · 12/06/2020 17:55

@croselle will let you know. I did one yesterday just for my own peace of mind (and I wanted a glass of wine haha). It was negative but still nothing today. Guess time will tell, have never spotted for this long before. This is day 5 for me

Nazz10 · 12/06/2020 19:39

So on cycle 2. CD1. No positive OPKs on my first cycle off the pill but AF arrived exactly 28 days after withdrawal bleed. I have never been so happy to see AF. I genuinely thought I wouldn't see her for a long time 😆

Annny27 · 13/06/2020 07:21

Morning:) 10dpo for me - I am really proud that these last few cycles I have broken my cycle of early testing 💪💪 saves money and heartbreak

@Nazz10 let's hope you ovulate this cycle :D

@croselle @lt103 I usually only spot for 1 sometimes 2 days but there has been the occasional cycle where its been from 9dpo! So you never really know whats happening haha

@Peach1204 where are you in your cycle atm ?

@orangeloo I have also heard the waiting lists are long... probably why my fertility clinic said they won't see me till November 😪

Peach1204 · 13/06/2020 07:48

@Annny27 according to Flo I'm on cycle day 25 with AF due tomorrow. I'm not sure that's correct though as I've had 28 day cycles recently... xxx

Croselle · 13/06/2020 08:50

@LT103 @beachbum85

Well ladies my AF arrived with a vengeance today! 😣

LT103 · 13/06/2020 09:17

@croselle Snap!!! that was 5 full days of spotting but AF definitely here now. I was actually so glad for it to start. At least now I know everything’s fine and I can start afresh for this month.

Oh well CD1 for us both. Fingers crossed for this month!!

Croselle · 13/06/2020 09:23

@LT103 yep, me too in a way takes out the guessing but oh boy this is a painful one 😭.

Fingers crossed for the new cycle!

beachbum85 · 13/06/2020 12:23

@LT103 and @Croselle same here, cycle buddies! Lots of pain this morning after 4 full days of spotting... Glad AF is here because I hate the waiting, but it's always hard confirming that this cycle was unsuccessful, even if I knew already Sad

Here comes cycle 12... Honestly, I knew from my friends that it might not be easy, but I really thought I'd be pregnant by now

Croselle · 13/06/2020 12:42

@beachbum85 yeah especially when it seems to come so easy to some. We'll get there though!

beachbum85 · 13/06/2020 14:20

Yes, we will Smile xx

LT103 · 13/06/2020 17:06

@beachbum85 @coselle I’m only on cycle 3 and already getting the disappointment when af comes. Nice to have people going through the same. Fingers crossed for us all this month 🤞🤞

Croselle · 13/06/2020 22:34

🤗🤗🤗

Annny27 · 14/06/2020 07:52

morning everyone :) 11dpo for me today and holding out testing 🙌

Sorry to those whose AF has arrived this weekend:( @Croselle @LT103 @beachbum85 xx

@beachbum85 same I knew it took long for some people but I was thinking oh we surely won't take that long 😬😬

@Peach1204 I hope AF stays away for you!!

Hi everyone. New to this thread.
TTC this will be cycle 3 for us. AF ending today so will be using Clearblue OPKs starting in a few days. Taking Seven Seas tablets and have bought Preseed as recommended on a few threads.

Little background story, Had a MMC that was picked up on 12week scan November 2019, 2 lots of medical management failed so had a DC in January.

Nice to meet everyone and looking forward to everyone's journeys. 👍🏻💕🌻
