Oh and on cm mine is def not clear/transparent, probably cloudy and stretchy/creamy xxx

@Firevie I would test after midday, the morning sample won't tell you much because LH builds up in the morning which is why OPKs are done in the afternoon.

Creamy CM is more like a lotiony feeling xx

@nothernsoul thank you yeah hope fully something develops soon either way!

@vp91x I tested yesterday when I was four days late, don't feel any symptoms of af or pregnancy just rumbling like noise for days.
This is definitely the longest I've gone now without a period and Im trying to prepare myself for how il feel when it finally comes.

My mum is up visiting and I have a fair few things to keep me distracted and relaxed x

Hi Ladies, I don’t if any of you who have had had miscarriages can perhaps guide me what may happen? I have been spotting since Monday and thats changed to bright red now and I have lost some clots. Obviously GP has shut shop for weekend and not sure where to turn with what to expect x

@VP91x ok thanks won’t bother in the morning then. May try and resist and do an afternoon one! I’m off to a spa retreat with my friend from school tmr but don’t want to tell her about TTC so I may have to sneak up into our room when she’s at the spa and do an OPKS quickly but if it will provide more clarity then I might try and do an afternoon one. So if I have lotion cm what does that mean? Sorry I’m so slow and confused lol xxx

@Beesy90 oh no! I would head over to A&E in the morning as there will be a gynaecologist there who can assess blood tests and check your cervix etc before booking you in for a scan at EPU on tuesday. That's what they done for me when I went in on a weekend. I really hope you're okay.

@Firevie creamy CM isn't as fertile, yeah definitely do it after midday so 2/6pm would be a good time xx

@Emsnewmum that's good that you are distracted, it could just be a weird cycle unfortunately. They are so annoying xx

Hi @beesy90

Sorry to hear your going through a misscarriage you are in the right place for support , may I ask how far along were you? I've had two very different one my first was at 6 weeks and it was just like a heavy period. My other was a bit more complicated but the epu told me it can be one 'main event' where you pass clots and the material tissue ect and then it lessens after that. X

@VP91x I'm using CB digital again this cycle so much easier than trying to figure out what a normal opk is saying 😂 tons of EWCM today so will be started DTD from today. How you doing?

Got OH's forms through in post yeaterday for his 3rd SA to see where we are at before we decide whether we can afford IVF or not so need to ring hospital Tuesday to arrange an apt to drop it off

@BEESY90 oh no! I'd do as @VP91x advised. I did the same with my spotting and went to A&e. Luckily they were not busy in the EPU and I got an appointment there for the very next morning (referred from A&E) as they're open 7 days.
Did the spotting start off red? Sometimes it can be old blood but red and clots sounds like you should get yourself checked out. Do you have any cramping?
Praying your little bean is ok in there especially after all you've been through xxx

Thanks @VP91x I’ve just downloaded fertility friend - seems a lot more complex lol
Also on the ops it just goes by positive or negative - not as accurate as with the actual figures? If it’s low it’s still a positive test right?
@BEESY90 oh no hun! Agree with @VP91x call you AE in the morning. Hopefully they’ll be able to help you! Xxx

@Firevie it's a little old school but the best by far at being accurate it is my absolute fav, with the OPKs only put positive when it is actually peak because everything else is negative! Xx

@Hayley19835 ooh, that seems like a good sign already, got to love a bit of ewcm haha.

That's good that the docs have done that, do you think you will go for the IVF? It is so frustrating that these things are so so expensive xx

Thank you ladies. Im 6+5 today. I am going to put a big pad on and get in bed with a disney film. Will try get hold of the a midwife in the morning x

@VP91x OMG so painful having to input all the data from the beginning lol
So if OPKS are negative until it’s a peak how do I know when I get a peak as the premom just shows it as low? Xxx

@Firevie the test line will be darker than the control line xxx

@BEESY90 definitely go down to the hospital in the morning as a midwife will probably ask you to do the same, sending you lots of love xxx

@VP91x thanks let’s see...it will certainly take me all night to understand the app and input all the data lol xxx

@Firevie if you can't be bothered to input all the data from the beginning just put temps in from CD10 and it'll probably still record temp rise as you haven't had one yet 👌🏾 also with the opks you just need to put negative in for the days up to now and see what it says... I'm with @VP91x that I think FF is great, although premom will probably readjust in a few days if you don't get a higher opk than the CD17 one xx

@BEESY90 oh I'm praying so much that everything is okay in there A&E can make you a referral to EPU as not sure the midwives will before 16weeks. Enjoy your Disney film tonight and please reach out to a friend or family tomorrow for extra support xx

@beesy90 Oh my sorry I totally read your message wrong, sending postive thoughts that all is ok, bleeding can happen in early pregnancy and still be ok. But yeah definitely take care or yourself and speak to the epu tomorrow x

@SmileyT thanks I might just do it and I put it. All it’s weirdly therapeutic. And I guess we will have a clearer answer tmr xxx

@BEESY90 sorry to hear this like the others say definetly get to A&E to get checked out, sending you love. Xx

Ladies that have or are taking coq10 do you take it throughout your full cycle? Xx

@BEESY90 Sending love to you, really hope everything's okay! Let us know how you get on tomorrow xx

Ladies I’ve now painfully inputted all my date into FF. see chart attached. Strangely enough the fertility window is the same as per my fit bit and my fit bit certainly got it right last time I got pregnant and that was without OPKS and BBT and apps lol. Must admit FF is still confusing me as I’m not sure how it calculates this with just negative OPKS if it’s not a peak as not darker than control line. In premom it gives me a figure which I find easier to read than analysing lines but you guys know better! Also I’m not paying for it so hope it won’t upgrade me ‘automatically’ as some apps do

Ah I’ve inputted more data incl previous pregnancy test (Date i got a BFP) and miscarriage date (date of ERPC) and it has somehow now adjusted it all. Looks like it has got me down to ovulate tmr:( which is what you ladies have predicted so will see if my temp drops and what my OPKS says once I do it tmr after 12pm. Guessing if I see a temp dip and an even lower OPKS then it’s clear I’ve ovulated and missed my window. Hoping somehow these algorithms have got it wrong and I don’t ovulate until at least Monday xxx

Pics attached

@BEESY90 so sorry to hear this is happening. What colour was the spotting before it turned red? Was it dark brown? Watery? Are you in pain? Please keep us updated. Sending my prayers and love xx

@Firevie aw I hope that eggy waits for you 🤞🏻

@MichT4 hello Loki 👋🏻 Lovely name! How’s he settling in? Hope the first night isn’t too unsettled. We had ours in bedroom with us from the start so he never went through the unsettled at night stage. Xx
