Update on me - there is no update 😂 CD20, not even a sniff of a positive OPK and no temp rise. Will have bloods done in the next couple of days. Gynae appt on 16th Sept is the plan xx

@Northernsoul90 the spotting is exactly what I had too at the same stage of my cycle. I think it’s completely normal and I just saw it as a sign that my body was making sure it was all flushed and cleared ready for a healthy environment that is strong and fresh.

I’m on CD13, so we are very close 😊

@hopeforrainbowbaby massive congratulations wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months. Xx

@MichT4 oh looks lovely where you are enjoy. Xx

@Pugprincess I think you have made the right decision just rest as much as you can. Xx

@HopeForRainbowbaby!!!!! Yess!!! Congrats!!! Send pics of lines I love seeing them

Heading away now. I’m driving so it’s gonna be fun as I’m so tired!! Enjoy ur weekend ladies incase I don’t get back on while I’m away

@HopeForRainbowbaby congratulations! So pleased for you with your BFP :D wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!

@Northernsoul90 yes! can't believe it's already time to POAS! Hope you get your surge very quickly! I'm CD4 today so just a few days behind you, hope we both get our BFPs soon :) xxx

@MrsK21 yay we are all on our lil OPK journey in the same window more or less. Remind me what POAS is please? That’s one that I don’t know yet and my brain isn’t working to guess it haha xx

@HopeForRainbowbaby ahh great news, congratulations!
@MichT4 looks lovely where you are, hope you have a nice week.

So just wondering things, as you do, Af started yesterday and has been really heavy (Have passed a few clots, sorry for tmi) and I have had bad cramps. I’m lucky and don’t usually get bad cramps. Does anyone think this is caused by me taking the calc fluor for the first time? Just wondering if it did the job and made my lining thicker and so that is why my AF is heavier and more painful?

@HappyVibes I'm in your club nowl, AF just came! Never been as happy to see her, glad to be back on track so soon. That gives me a luteal phase of 15 days, does anyone know if that's too long? I think I read somewhere LP is supposed to be 12 days.

Enjoy your view @MichT4, glad you and your OH are so pragmatic about things, means you can chill out more and enjoy things

Wow @HopeForRainbowbaby congrats!!! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy.

@Pugprincess Glad to hear you are feeling a little more reassured, but it's a bit grim that people working in GPs and hospitals can't be as reassuring as you need them to be. I'm sure everyone on this thread (me included) is right behind you. Hope you can have a nice relaxing weekend

Though I'm happy to see AF again, I'm not so happy to be facing CD2 cramps tomorrow, they always leave me stuck in bed in with horrible pain and nausea and unable to stomach any food Why do wombs have to be like this! No thoughts on calcium fluoride @Wishingfornumber2 but I am sending you sympathy and glad to at least have a cycle buddy ❤️

@Wishingfornumber2 could well be. Are you drinking pom juice too?

GP called again and basically insisted I came down for examination. She’s got it in her head about ectopic etc but I’m not in pain (just normal pregnancy pains to me) and no shoulder tip pain etc. Even threw in that she can refer me to epau for bloods if I get examined but said it would involve her putting her fingers up to my cervix and seeing how that feels! Well I don’t think my reaction to that would be great anyway to be honest!! Tried to warn me that ectopic can be fatal etc but I just said it’s my body and life and I’m not concerned about ectopic at the moment if anything in that area developed I would go a & e. I said I’m concerned about MC and clearly there’s nothing that can be done other than waiting. I had some cervical erosion years ago I assume could be there still. Her touching that while it’s all inflamed down there with the extra blood flow won’t help! I’ve bled after smears before. I don’t like how hard they press on your belly either. I know it’s all protected but like some of you say it’s too early to be messed with. They just want to cover their own backs I think-says she has spoken to the most senior doc there etc. X

@HopeForRainbowbaby congratulations 🥳❤️❤️❤️ Amazing news xxx

@MichT4 that looks gorgeous, have a lovely time x

@scrambledeggy I thought luteal phase was 14 days myself so 15 is ok I think. Yh I wish they could help. Let’s just hope this is normal and goes away soon. No more yet. Xx

@HappyVibes POAS - pee on a stick. Such delightful things we TTC ladies have to do!
What CD are you on now hun? Yeah a few of us in a very similar window.
Sorry AF got you @scrambledeggy but great your body is back on track so soon and puts a few of us in the same Fertile Week window and 2 week wait when it comes :) I think a 15 day luteal phase is fine and definitely in the realms of normal which is 11 to 17 days long. It's only concerning when it's short which less than 11 days and that makes it harder to implant successfully

@Pugprincess oh sorry to hear the GP is now hounding you. I think as you say, you know your body best, they've advised you so they are covered, you're far more likely to feel better after some R&R than poking and prodding. Hope the spotting has gone away too xxx

@Pugprincess yes I was drinking Pom juice too but not every day. Sorry to hear the anxieties you are going through. Looks like you are progressing well though with the tests.
@scrambledeggy yes as @Pugprincess says I have read the luteal phase should be about 14 days so 15 is fine. Ahh nice to have a cycle buddy ❤️. Hope your cramps aren’t too bad.

Oh also update for me. I called the drs and the first appointment I can get to discuss things is 3rd sept! So have said yes to that for now.

@HappyVibes thank you dear 😘 my first pregnancy was from end January and at 9 weeks I have lost it in March. Day before first check up I have started to bleed. And at ultrasound, the sac was already misshaped. But even with bleeding & pain, the nurse said that it is still 50%... and I thought wow those are high good odds. I also knew something is odd as my boobs started to hurt less. It took a time to get negative tests, after more than 30 days I got period post miscarriage. And miscarriage was very painful.... within 10 days I had two Terrible days ( when I was passing biggest pieces). In April I had awfully short cycle, 20 days. And in May I got pregnant ( dtd day before and day of OV) only to lose it again but then earlier, at 5 weeks. I already suspected it as my pregnancy tests went from 2-3 weeks to 1-2. Bleeding but not the same pain as with MC at 9 weeks. My cycle returned back quickly. I July I have decided to start taking salts after OV, two in morning and two in evening. I have also been drinking pomegranate, plum and grapefruit juice and take prenatal vitamins. Dtd was from four to a day before OV and day after. I also kept my bottom higher after dtd and lie down in bed for 30 min. I had sore boobs as of 3 dpo and felt little bit nauseous at 12 dpo. I thought i had pink discharge on 9dpo but again I must have convinced myself it was not. Also I had implantation bleeding in both previous pregnancies at 8 and 10 dpo with some abdomen pain.

@Lollol86 thank you dear and wow!! April 2021 it is ;) how do you feel ? Share your story with me please😘

@MichT4 thank you dear 😘I will try to add a photo but last time it wasn't working. In frer it came pretty clear but not dark dark. On cheapies very light but that's where I noticed the line in the first place - Hours later ( but then I'm also thinking maybe I got less sensitive batch). On CB 6 days early it came back quite fast.

@Northernsoul90 @HE88 @2020wish @MrsK21 @Wishingfornumber2 @scrambledeggy . thank you ladies 😘 I will try to add photo

@Pugprincess thank you dear! How do you feel ?

@HappyVibes Oh that's good to hear that you experienced the same! I was getting a little worried as I haven't had spotting really before or after af. Yes we are very close!! Hopefully we will be POAS soon 🤩 xx

@MrsK21 I know it has actually gone really quick!! Me too, fingers crossed 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xxx

@scrambledeggy I'm glad af has arrived for you! I think your luteal phase is just right 12/13/14/15 days is normal - if anything it's better for it to be slightly longer than shorter I think. Under 10 days is classed as short and can cause problems for implantation if I remember rightly 🤔 xx

@Wishingfornumber2 I'm too scared to ring the doctors 🤦🏼‍♀️

Photo with two tests: those are early tests. Second photo with three tests shows 8 dpo ( negative) and 12dpo morning ( test which I double checked in
Evening and had line) and 12dpo diluted pee at night but something appeared.

@Wishingfornumber2 sorry lovely ignore my last message I got confused with messages xx

@HopeForRainbowbaby so I feel ok just tired but I just want symptoms to start as I will worry. How are you feeling? Xx

@HopeForRainbowbaby hey! Yh I feel fine in myself but I’m taking it easy today. Been for lots of wees and nothing else yet. Fingers crossed it goes away soon or at-least doesn’t worsen. I’m praying my cb says 3+ in a few days. I will try Sunday morning and then maybe again after that if still 2-3. Today’s cb digital was the first one of that type I’ve done. X

Ladies, do you continue to take salts after getting bfp?

@Lollol86 ahh I am also tired and tend to wake up early to do test. Are you still doing tests ? I have got sore boobs as I had in previous pregnancies and nausea once. That's it. I need to remember now no to do certain things with cleaning the house.

@Pugprincess lovely! Thinking of you and your little bean 😘 so it shows nice bfp 3+ this weekend❤️ I'm still waiting for my first digital. I think I will do one on Sunday too. How far along are you now ?

@2020wish can you see the line on two tests out three of cheapies ? There are so light but in reality they are there. First out of three is negative(8dpo).

@HopeForRainbowbaby no sore boobs yet which I've had before. Trying not to worry, but I'm not even 4 weeks yet. My dh has ordered me to rest and won't let me do any housework until after 12 weeks. I'm bored already xx

@HopeForRainbowbaby I've been testing with cheapies as they aren't really showing much of a line so waiting for that to increase. I have 1 FRER and 1 weeks indicator left which I will use next week. I've heard so much about chemicals from this site that I'm not worrying I'm going to have 1 xx

@HopeForRainbowbaby I think I’m 4+5 now. If I go by my ovulation dates. So I’m hoping to be 5 weeks by Sunday and past the chemical preg hurdle. If I get my 3+ I will be a bit happier. Just been for another pee but nothing else yet. Not really seen any discharge since tho even clear 🤔 but then quite a lot came out on that tissue earlier so maybe it’s got to replenish lol x
