@Franklydear sorry to hear that 💛💛 sending virtual hugs

Thank you everyone, from the last spotting, cd 29... and no sign of af either,
I am pretty gutted, specially from the last bleeding, there wouldn't have been any lining to implant anything, maybe this is not meant to be

@Franklydear it's not all over, and I don't just mean for this cycle, I mean in general. The whole TTC is such a bloody rollercoaster we have to keep going cos it could be that next time, like for me, it could be the right conditions? And I have to hold onto that hope too ❤️🤗
Can you have a chat with your lovely doc & talk through your concerns about TTC too to try to alleviate anxiety?

@DKDK123 I hope the cramping doesn't mean AF but maybe so, there will be a few of us around don't worry to lean on.

I'm not liking this winter weather- who ordered winter??? we had freak hail storms yesterday & last night my FEET WERE FREEZING! So I'm getting the fluffy socks back out & gonna snuggle up more as it's also pouring here today.

Thank you @Minster2012, its this group and hearing everyone's stories that keep me going no matter what happens. Think if I didnt hear about all the struggles lots of people have then I'd be on a 'why me' one woman pity party by now thinking it was just me. But I know so many struggle and all we can do is dust ourselves off and try again.......and eat chocolate.

Did you see Paloma Faiths post on FB last night? She's pregnant again after 6rounds of IVF and talks of anxiety and PP depression, just a very honest post that if more in the media spotlight were brave enough to open up it would maybe help more women in general be open about not just the struggles of ttc but of motherhood in general. I thought it was a lovely honest post.

@DKDK123 no I haven't seen that but I will look, yes I totally agree it needs to be spoken about more! I think a large part of the problem though is if those around you seemingly conceive easily it's very easy to not start conversations & hold it all in. We have your back. ❤️🤗

Actually, maybe I will look after our IVF has finished @DKDK123 it might make me ever soooooo slightly emotional & thinking ours won't work if it took her 6 whilst I'm on shite loads of hormones currently 😂🤣🤔

Yea you must be an emotional wreck by now with everything you'll be getting pumped with. Just you focus on keeping that womb lining nice and fluffy and so cosy that little jellybean can't resist but burrow away into it after the transfer 🤞

10dpo and just done an IC with smu and I just couldn't stop squinting at it because it feels like I have a real squinted. Think I might have to cave and do a frer in the morning now!

Ooooo @SarahTTC2020 everything crossed for you!! 🤞🏻🥰😘

@DKDK123 im trying to keep my emotions in check, tbh I feel must more relaxed this time than last time, last time I was a crying mess I felt so emotional like I would burst into tears at anything, this time I feel quite calm so that's why we didn't want to abandon so close to the end! But it's kinda still knife edge stuff tho so I don't want to tip the balance! 😂🙄

@Minster2012 really praying for you to have good news lovely xxx

Thanks @Minster2012 just had my day 21 progesterone test and really hoping I'll be have a bfp before the results come back.
I bought ICs (with a 10iu thing) so I could poas more and not waste frer 🤣
Ah you've taken a risk for a reason @minster2012 and you can't put it on hold forever waiting for the most optimum conditions 💛 praying for you

@Missgoldilocks thank you gorgeous! How's your sister getting on?

@SarahTTC2020 eeeek could your results show pregnancy? Not sure how it works?! Are you gonna get FRER soon?!

What does everyone have planned for the weekend? @SarahTTC2020 are you gonna test & change any plans?

We are seeing my brother & his girlfriend & nephew for the first time since lockdown 🥰🤗I'm really excited but we aren't actually "doing anything" which is good as I don't want to expose myself to risks (though they don't know) but just nice family time (as a 6!) which is good for passing time til weds too, though I'm a bit meh about the shit weather it looks like blurgh

Wtf girls ?! Just been to the loo and got brown tinged spotting when wiping ... I'm only CD20🥴

@Minster2012 no idea, I should probably actually read about progesterone given I've been tested for it 🙈 I have 2 frer in a drawer.... So I may have to do a sneaky one in the morning otherwise I will want a gin 🤣
I'm.doing a 20km charity walk tomorrow! What are you up to?

@lucyrp could it be implantation bleeding?? Or ov bleeding?

This is my chart for reference

@SarahTTC2020 I have no idea 😫

@Minster2012 aww that sounds like a nice weekend getting to see them for the first time since lockdown 🥰 It'll hopefully keep your mind off things too.
We're not up to much this weekend might do a phone detox and disconnect just have quality family time......that may only last half a day till DH is doing my head in 😂 Hes doing the typical guy shutting emotions off business. When I told him I had faint positives the other day he looked at the tests and went 'Yea they're all definitely positive........so how long till we find out we've lost this one then?' And that's literally all he's said about it hasnt asked once if things have progressed so of course I've been doing the petty spit the dummy out im not offering up any info till you ask. Men 🙄

@lucyrp your body is a law unto itself! 🤔 Could it be bleeding from an egg being released (dont even know if that happens), or early implantation or early period 🤷‍♀️ They do say to mention to your doc any unusual bleeding between periods so if it doesnt become a proper period be sure to give them a call just to be safe.

@DKDK123
Well I thought I may have picked up Ovulation on my chart but that doesn't seem to be the case because I'd be 3/4dpo if I had and I wouldn't have implantation bleeding at this point and if I was ovulating now that doesn't make any sense 🙈😂

@lucyrp yeah your chart is anovulatory so far I'm afraid! This could be ovulation spotting though if your temp goes up in the next few days?

@Juno231 but I've had a really big dip and then a peak and my temps have stayed up ?

@lucyrp I just saw the post with your chart after I posted. Thats puzzling, as you said it seems to early for implantation bleeding......but stranger things have happened we know by now our bodies like to throw the rule book out of the window! I'd still mention it to your GP if it doesnt turn into AF, that along with your wacky cycles might just push them into investigating things sooner for you.

@lucyrp your temps don't seem to indicate a temp shift though. The three after ovulation should be higher than the previous six and they're not per the chart. That's why FF has marked ovulation as a yellow circle rather than cog - meaning it's not been confirmed. If you popped those into FF I don't think it would give you crosshairs, but could we worth double checking?

Also this is my chart from my weird 72 day cycle ...

@DKDK123 I thought I was in for a normal cycle but clearly not I'm heading towards a stupid 40 dayer again now...I hope it's not AF at 20 days!

Really sorry to hear about the BFN @Franklydear. It's the worst feeling, especially when AF is late. As hard as we try not to get our hopes up that little bit of hope can be devastating when dashed. Try and find something nice to do for yourself this weekend. A bath or nice drink (preferable a drink in the bath). Thinking of you!

And I temped up to god knows what CD and it just looked like this

@Juno231 I don't think temping is for me at this point, is there anything on the internet that says it doesn't work for some people ? I thought it was pretty fool proof but my body temps are just high consistently... I thought you had to wait for like 4 days for them to confirm it. I don't use FF I find it too old looking and confusing 😂

@lucyrp it is pretty foolproof - I think it's just showing you you're not ovulating unfortunately. Not yet anyway!
