@beckyBP oh your first cycle! how exciting😁 i remember feeling so out of my depth at the beginning theres still so much im learning😂 are you a huge caffeine drinker? i probably only have 1 cup a day but switching to decaff wouldnt be a huge deal for me!

welcome @Shouldbedancingyeah 😁 how far along are you into your ttc journey? fingers crossed all your symptoms mean something good for you!

Shouldbedancingyeah · 27/07/2020 21:29

@abbfabb about a year in! How about you?

Had some more bleeding today Sad ewcm again but very dark brown with no cramping. Think I’m probably going to be out this month

Mrschips07 · 27/07/2020 22:19

@LT103 I have never heard of that pineapple core thing before! Going to have to have a google. I know what you mean tho, we're only meant to be "casually trying" like not being so careful, maybe it'll happen by christmas... but I'm out here testing at 6dpo and considering temping and buying OPKS.

@Shouldbedancingyeah Sounds good. I'm feeling pretty similar, although just 6dpo. No tinged CM as yet, but its cloudy and plentiful (tmi!) do you feel 'different' ?

LT103 · 27/07/2020 22:23

@Mrschips07ive only read it on here.
We’re only casually trying but I’m also aware that I’m 38 so would rather keep an eye on things. The opk and temping are least let’s me know I’m def ovulating and so far my cycle seems really regular so I know roughly when we need to dye to give us a shot. Still not told oh I’m doing all this, he’d think I’m mad haha

Mrschips07 · 27/07/2020 22:46

@Shouldbedancingyeah Sorry, I replied before I saw your update. You never know, see how things progress.

I’m nauseous and crampy and got a BFN this morning with a FRER.

AmesK · 28/07/2020 10:05

@Mrschips07

Hello! How are you getting on?

I’m doing ok, but a bit worried as I’ve been having spotting on and off for the last week Confused About CD19 fo normally 35 day cycles but have PCOS so dont know if I’ve ovulated yet :(

Anyone had any experiences of spotting early in the cycle like this and still getting a BFP?

abbfabb · 28/07/2020 10:24

@Mrschips07 AF due thursday so still on the waiting game for me although not having any pms symptoms or any early pregnancy symptoms either🤔 already told myself im out this month so definitely looking forward to trying some things out next month already😁 thanks for asking!

how are you doing? any signs of anything☺️

@Shouldbedancingyeah awww about the same for me too, will be a year next month. how are you this morning any AF signs?

Emmie12345 · 28/07/2020 11:12

@Sexnotgender yeah bfn for me too on the day I thought was 13dpo

No period yet but also don’t feel as sick as I did before

Shouldbedancingyeah · 28/07/2020 11:33

@AmesK no experience sorry but if you’re not sure about ovulation then you should just try and dtd as much as possible just to cover any possibility!

@abbfabb I’m not too bad today thank you! No AF signs at all, no bleeding or cramping. I also don’t have sore boobs which I normally get between ovulation and AF so I’m wondering if I even ovulated to be honest!
Hoping your AF doesn’t arrive this week- when do you normally get pms symptoms? Fingers crossed no symptoms is a good thing for you!

Leobaby · 28/07/2020 12:03

@Mrschips07 I’m okay thank you. Temp drop this morning which would be right as af is due tomorrow. Think I’m out for sure! I’ve had a feeling I would be. Before I knew I was pregnant, so I know I would have that feeling again and I haven’t! How are you?

LT103 · 28/07/2020 12:19

@Mrschips07 just patiently waiting it out here. I’m 6 dpo. Still got really sore nipples and really bloated. Been feeling really sick all morning today too. Most likely all just progesterone symptoms by my symptom spotting radar is obviously working overtime!! 😂

Hope everyone is ok today x

LT103 · 28/07/2020 12:21

@AmesK not any help to you but I spot a lot mid cycle. I do vaguely remember it from before being on pill. But last 3 cycles I’ve spotted few days before af. Last month it was a full week of spotting from about 8 dpo plus some sporadic spotting before that at ovulation and again at 3 dpo. No answer for mine yet but getting progesterone checked tomorrow to be on safe side

beckyBP · 28/07/2020 13:09

Thanks for asking @Mrschips07 I'm CD 3. Bring on ovulation 😂 I've ordered a load of supplements and opks waiting for them and then ready to get to business 💪🏽

How are you doing?

Mrschips07 · 28/07/2020 13:19

Ooo mixed bag then.

Similar to you @Sexnotgender and @LT103 really crampy, sore boobs. Also felt quite sick when I woke up.

Not sure if its all in my head or if its just the progesterone. Did a silly and weed on an IC but its BFN. 7dpo today.

LT103 · 28/07/2020 13:38

@Mrschips07 I have had to talk myself out of it. Realistically it’s going to be a bfn at this stage tho so I’ll hold off til sat if I can.....maybe Friday? Haha

LT103 · 28/07/2020 13:43

I found that on another thread. It’s chances of a test reading positive at certain dpo

abbfabb · 28/07/2020 13:52

@Shouldbedancingyeah oh how weird that you normally get sore boobs and you didnt this cycle! do you use opks to find out when you’re ovulating?

seems i spoke too soon! no af symptoms, had brown not long after my last comment when i wiped and then now its turning bright red so im assuming its af, 2 days early which is annoying! just want to hurry up for my next ovulation now as oh is really keen for it to happen so gonna try something new and see if it works for us🤞🏻
hope af stays away for all of those still in the running for their current cycle😃

Mrschips07 · 28/07/2020 14:45

@LT103 will you be 10dpo Friday?

Thanks for sharing that graphic, really interesting! Basically testing early is for mugs 😂 I'm going to try to wait til Friday too I think.

OP posts:
LT103 · 28/07/2020 15:16

I’ll be 9 dpo on Friday. Realistically not gonna see much til after weekend if there’s a positive but I have a bunch of ic hcg strips so nothing to lose haha

beckyBP · 28/07/2020 20:07

Cycle 2 I'm ready for ya
