Looks good @Sexnotgender - love to see the ripped open Amazon packaging in the background 😂

Is anyone else getting a weird bubbling sensation behind their bellybutton? I've been having it all day. It's really bizarre.

How is everyone? Any testers today?

I took an IC just now with fmu and I mean I think I can see a smudge... But it doesn't show on camera. I'm going to save my wee and pick up some frers today I think.

Beginning to believe this little bean might stick😊

Amazon is so much cheaper than anywhere else for FRER.

@Sexnotgender that’s a beautiful line 😍

@Mrschips07 bfn on ic today plus I’ve started spotting which is normal for me for the few days before af so not holding out much hope. Boobs are sorest they’ve ever been though!!!

Mrschips07 · 31/07/2020 08:35

@Sexnotgender that's a good line! Definitely getting stronger. Tentative congratulations? Flowers

@LT103 oh no to the spotting, is it much?

Feel same today as I have past week really. Noticed that my nipples are very dark and if I squeeze (? As you do!?) Some colostrum is coming out. Not sure if that is normal for me, never noticed it before.

Congratulations @Sexnotgender !! Still got my fingers crossed for you that it continues!

Sorry for the TMI!
I’ve been having a bit of weirdness still. I thought my period was coming the other day when I was 6 or 7 dpo (I forget!) because I had cramping and brown bleeding. I still have a bit of bleeding either in very very watery discharge or in ewcm but no cramps anymore. No sore breasts either like I normally would get after ovulation. I don’t think for one minute that I am pregnant to be honest because of the bleeding but it’s so odd that I’m not having my normal cramping that I would normally get before my period.

Hope everyone else is doing well today!! Fingers crossed for you Flowers

Mrschips07 · 31/07/2020 11:59

@Shouldbedancingyeah does sound a bit odd. Is it milky like cm?

Just took a frer. It's BFN, very stark white 😭 going to hold off testing a few days now and see what happens.

OP posts:
Shouldbedancingyeah · 31/07/2020 12:18

@Mrschips07 sorry to hear that test was a negative! Try and stay positive though-you’re not out until your period comes and hopefully it won’t!!

Some of the CM is egg white consistency with brown streaks, some of it is the same consistency as milk but it’s clear like water with some brown streaks and some of the CM is lotion-y and white! Really bizarre.

Mrschips07 · 31/07/2020 12:21

@Shouldbedancingyeah hmm sounds like a right mixed bag, sorry I can't offer any advice but I'd I was you I'd keep an eye on it.

Gutted about the test, really expected to see a line 😅 it's so early tho. Need to calm down 😂

OP posts:
Shouldbedancingyeah · 31/07/2020 12:33

How many dpo are you @Mrschips07?

LT103 · 31/07/2020 12:33

@Mrschips07 sorry it was a negative!
This was just a tiny spot of blood when i wipes but that’s what I had last 2 cycles. Was a tiny amount once or twice a day for 5 days then af finally came. Wouldn’t think I’d spot if I was pregnant

Locket211 · 31/07/2020 12:56

Hi, totally new to all this but mind if I join? This is my 2nd month trying but I've been tracking my periods for a while cause of my PCOS.
I supposedly ovulated CD17 Now I'm on CD20, that wait till testing is awful tho. But I'm a bit concerned as I've had light bleeding since ovulation day and doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. Wondering if i actually missed my day but I've had no peaks either, going on 13 days with high OPK. I think my bodies a lil screwed up 🙃

Mrschips07 · 31/07/2020 13:08

@Shouldbedancingyeah Just 10dpo, and thats my estimation going by symtoms of ov, didn't use OPK's or anything.

@LT103 I'm not sure, I'm sure I've read about people that have spotted all the way through a pregnancy, but it certainly warrants investigation. It at least doesn't sound like AF quite yet. See what happens.

@Locket211 Welcome! that does sound a little strange, is it a lot of blood? I've recently started having spotting around ovulation but its a few pin pricks. I also have PCOS and its a pain it the butt, right?

OP posts:
Locket211 · 31/07/2020 13:15

@Mrschips07 it's the lightest I've ever seen it, started of just as a pink tinge but this morning had a red streak, can only tell when i wipe, so it's very light flow. It's like my body is halfbutting a period tho I shouldn't be due for another week & a half but I'm rarely regular anyway with the PCOS. It is a total pain.

Sexnotgender · 31/07/2020 13:17

@Mrschips07 sorry you got a BFN.

I didn’t use OPKs so my ovulation date is just flo and what was going on with my body. I was getting absolutely nada until 12dpo.

Mrschips07 · 31/07/2020 13:55

Thanks for that @Sexnotgender does give me a bit of hope. I'm sure I didn't get anything til 12/14dpo with my son...

Well I have stashed the other FRER for use in maybe 4 or 5 days, and I have ONE ic left out of a pack of 20!! Oh dear.

OP posts:
Shouldbedancingyeah · 31/07/2020 17:31

@Mrschips07 make sure you save that test for 12-14 dpo!! I don’t track my cycle with OPKs either which really does add to the mystery and fun of it (not!!)

I’ve had period cramping again today in my back and lots of really ‘fertile looking’ ewcm. But I’m on CD 35 so I’m thinking surely this isn’t late ovulation!

Libbyvmama · 31/07/2020 17:44

Hey guys, hope you're all well. Sorry I've not been speaking much just moved house and been a bit meh with the whole ttc thing, as it turns out I had a chemical pregnancy! So bit of a bummer :(
But! Onwards and upwards.
How is everyone doing? I'll give the thread a read through and keep up now! Lol sorry! 😂🧡

LT103 · 31/07/2020 17:52

@Libbyvmama sorry to hear that!! Hope you’re ok x

3andout · 31/07/2020 22:15

@Mrschips07 I've got everything crossed for you that you get your Bfp, there is still time.

@sexnotgender it's looking so promising, a massive congrats Flowers.

@Libbyvmama, I'm sorry about the chemical, I know it's tough and made so much worse with a house move. Be kind to yourself x

As predicted, af showed her ugly face this morning, a day earlier than expected, and light pink, expecting full force tomorrow gahhh! Onwards to cycle 2

Libbyvmama · 31/07/2020 22:17

@3andout thank you for being so kind!
I'm so sorry AF showed up for you :( ugh it's always such a bummer. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you next cycle! X

@LT103 thank you lovely x

Mrschips07 · 01/08/2020 07:46

Hi @Libbyvmama I'm so sorry to hear it was a chemical, I did wonder. I hope your house move is going ok - it's such a big stress isn't it!? Lots of takeaways is the way forward 😂

I'm 11dpo today, nothing to report really other than my boobs are huge and achey, way more sore than they have been up until this point. AF still 12 days away...

OP posts:
LT103 · 01/08/2020 09:07

I took an frer this morning...nothing. Not had any more spotting since yesterday but boobs still super sore and getting some achey cramps pains on and off. Can’t help but think this is af on the way but I’m still trying to convince myself it was implantation haha

Mrschips07 · 01/08/2020 10:41

@LT103 ok, so at least the spotting has stopped. You would have been 9dpo yesterday? They do say that's the average implantation day.

🤞 For you.
