@Peach1204 also do you think you'll be able to keep it quiet until Father's day? I just remembered you said that!

congratulations @Peach1204 🥰 lovely news

@orangeloo @kiza I am so confused. I had brown spotting 11dpo then became a bit red on 12dpo(maybe cd1) when I wiped so assumed it was AF and then nothing on a pad only when I wiped, then yesterday at 13dpo/cd2 there was brown when I wiped and then today 14dpo/cd3 still only a bit of brown but kinda like the end of a period. So either the worlds shortest period (which is worrying!), or AF is taking a while to start or implantation bleeding. Soo soo soo confused

@Annny27 @mrsbecs thank you both! I think I will be able to keep quiet. I'll see DH 4 hours each night now until Saturday so only really one whole day to be quiet! Xxx

Congratulations @Peach1204!!! That's amazing!!!

@beachbum85 thank you! Still shocked tbh, doesn't feel real. Xxx

AF arrived now so it was a slow start 🤣 honestly cba with my body atm - new tricks every month

@Peach1204 yeah fathers day will be lovely to tell him

@Annny27 thank you. I'm not sure the card is going to arrive in time so I'll make a back up just in case! Xxx

@Annny27 I had that this month. Cramps and brown spitting for 4-5 days (enough to make me do a test) then af came but really short and light so no idea what happened

@LT103 its so frustrating I swear before ttc it was very normal cycles and period. Now its just random haha

@annny27 I know. Although mine have been a little all over the place last couple of months. Probably because I’m stressing so much analysing every little twinge haha

Same here @Annny27 and @LT103!
I've always had a bit of spotting before, but this time it was 4 full days, then AF was really light and a couple of days long, and then some more spotting. This never used to happen before... sooooo frustrating but I guess you're right, it could be the stress of it all

@beachbum85 I’m so glad I’m not the only one with this. Not that I’m glad you’re having an odd cycle too but it makes me think this is normal and it’s not because something is wrong. I wondered if maybe I hadn’t ovulated this month or something else going on...but I guess it just happens. Fingers crossed for a more normal cycle this month! 😊

Definitely fingers crossed!
I spoke briefly to a friend of mine who's a gynae and they just said: don't worry too much, periods do strange things for no reason sometimes.
Hopefully it was a 1-off

I'm having the opposite problem. CD6 and still some red spotting throughout the day. More so when I wipe really. First AF after coming off the pill but my periods (even before I started the pill) were never more than 5 days. Hopefully tomorrow it stops 🙄

Our bodies just seem to do what they want, so annoying isnt it @Annny27 @LT103 @beachbum85. Randomly in Jan my period just decided to only be 3 days long and very light, same feb and march. Back to normal in April (4-5 Days and medium). Weird.
I'm 2day PO and have a bit of spotting and cramps. not sure what thats about. Probably paying too much attention to whats happening with my body and overanalysing!!

Eeeeek @Peach1204 thats so sweet. It will make for such a fab day for you both xx

@Nazz10 thats the same as me, when I wipe. I came off the pill last year in May, it took about 2 months to get regulated! so fingers crossed yours will be normal soon x

@mrsbecs it's so annoying. I don't really understand why it's happening. It's like a bit more than spotting but not enough to say it's light. I'm hoping that it's normal. I hardly had any cramping either. Usually I have to take paracetamol on CD2 but not this time x

@mrsbecs thank you! Then just need to keep it secret for a few months before telling fam. Thank god I have all of you lovely lot to talk to! Xxx

Hi all,

How is everyone doing? Sorry for the absence, things at work with redundancies are really stressing me out and tbh what they are asking us to do is a bit of a joke! Got my blood test done last week so should be another couple to weeks until I hear back and really hoping it comes back as positive!

@Annny27 sorry to hear AF arrived, I hope you are ok ❤️

@Peach1204 looks like a BFP to me congratulations!

Thank you @Lozzlepop sorry to hear work is stressful, hope that calms down soon and you get some good news from your test results. Xxx

Can I join in too? I am 29 and ttc #1. I have PCOS so probably going to be a long journey for me . Would love the moral support

Hi @Lozzlepop all good here thanks. Well currently day 3 of the tww and don't know how people do this month after month :(
Hope you get good news, let us know! xx

Ho @Elakiya welcome! sorry to hear that. Few others on here with the same journey! xx

Where is everyone from, if thats ok to ask?

Hi everyone, I'd love to join too. I'm 24, from London UK and just started TTC #1! 😊 First cycle for me!

@mrsbecs I’m from north west London. Thanks although it’s only been cycle 1 of ttc so I am going to be hopeful.

@acaciabluebell welcome and good luck !!! Keep us posted 😁

@mrsbecs I'm based in London too.
How's it going with the spotting and cramps? I hope they've stopped now... but definitely, I think we notice many things we wouldn't otherwise because we're paying so much attention! Can't help it though!

Welcome to the new posters, and good luck to all!
