@laura2093 you're only 8dpo so could be implantation dip. It's gone below the crosshairs as it seems to be quiet high at .6 average whereas mine was .3 so it can be misleading. Trying stay positive if you can

@Misty84 sorry to hear! 😕

laura2093 · 07/02/2021 19:18

Okay, I'm 8dpo... light cramps this morning and just gone to the toilet, (SORRY TMI!) brown blood on underwear and bright red blood in toilet.. no cramps now... bit early for AF, normally I'm 28 days to the day... HELP 😩

apwilso · 07/02/2021 19:52

@laura2093 could it possibly be implantation? Is there loads or just a little bit?

laura2093 · 07/02/2021 19:59

@apwilso just been again and there was only a little bit and none in the toilet. Going to wait and see what my temperature and it is saying in the morning xxx

apwilso · 07/02/2021 20:26

@laura2093 it sounds like it could be implantation. Got my fingers crossed for you xx

@laura2093 sounds like implantation. Was it definitely red and how much was there ? How many dpo are you now? Brown/pink blood is a sign of implantation. So long as there are no clots in it I think it is ok. x

2 days late, on day 13dpo and been toilet no sign of AF apart from I've had some very light spotting this morning which was like milky pink but none since. Negative test this morning but had some lower abdomen cramps but nothing like period cramps. and been quite gassy. (TMI) and also nauseous.

I don't even know what to do. I've only been testing on cheap ones so dunno if to push the boat out and get a digital or somert

Misty84 · 08/02/2021 14:15

@apwilso Nausea sounds very promising!!! And 3 days late...can you get a proper test?

@apwilso I would do a frer early response or CB early response. Digitials aren't as sensitive. Sounds promising though. I would check your previous months and see how many days your luteal phase is . This will give you a better idea of when AF is due each month . x

@Misty84 going to get one after work unless something happens in between now and then!

@1992EM I've recently got a new phone so lost all my data 😭 my usual cycle is 30 around then so very abnormal for me. Did have this last month but no where near the same as I had not as many symptoms 🤨

apwilso · 08/02/2021 16:14

Then again I have symptoms every month

Misty84 · 08/02/2021 16:17

@apwilso Yeah I would be desperate to get one! Let us know what happens! Xx

@apwilso oh no, that is annoying. Fingers crossed it is signs of a BFP xx

@Misty84 may have just spoken too soon😢😢😢
I was slightly spotting this morning. Gone toilet then and there's some more spotting but heavier than this morning

Misty84 · 08/02/2021 16:48

@apwilso God I feel your pain, it is such turmoil. It drives us crazy!

@apwilso so sorry to hear 😔 it is always such a slap in the face when it arrives x

laura2093 · 08/02/2021 21:44

It was AF. I'm numb to it now I think - my OH's SA is booked for 22nd Feb. Smack bang when I'm due to ovulate and my birthday weekend. Fingers crossed I ovulate either early or late! But at least we will get answers xxx

apwilso · 09/02/2021 09:55

Yep mine is here! This next cycle will be our 5th month but still in early phases yet. My boyfriend is a bit paranoid so wants to go get tested to double check. I personally reckon it's our diet etc as with lockdowns we've become quite lazy and not always eating the best. So want to loose weight (typing as I'm eating a twirl 😂) he's cutting out his vape to 0% and I've not been drinking at all really so that's the last step now!

@laura2091 and @apwilso so sorry to hear. 😔

@apwilso 5 months is still early , although I know it will not seem like it . NHS won't see you before 12 months so if wanting tests would likely have to go private. My partner is feeling the same and it is so hard as you just don't no and waiting a year seems like forever . Although I am approaching this soon. Changing diet and stopping vaping/drinking won't be a bad thing . Have you tried using preseed or conceive plus ? This could help too. Just try take it easy and don't be too hard on yourself .

OP posts:
apwilso · 09/02/2021 17:00

@1992EM I know it's a year but he's paranoid so we don't mind going private anyway just got his tests. I'm not too bothered as of yet so I'll leave mine till 13 month mark. Tried pre seed not conceive plus. At the minute we've not drank or smoke really for months to be honest. There's many people who drink or smoke or do worse and still end up with kids which is annoying because I feel like oh god have one drink and game over. So I think and this point I know my body now and I'll just go with it and see what happens

@apwilso you are absolutely right. I did see a sperm test on amazon but no idea how good it is. Might be worth doing that first. TTC is hard enough without putting life on hold too . Tbh I don't even no if drinking impacts much until there is a chance you can be pregnant so if you want a drink I would. Plenty of people as you say get pregnant and drink/smoke and do a lot worse . I just make sure I eat plenty fruit and veg each day but I have low vit b12 so I want to make sure I can get as much of that in-between jags as possible . Dark greens like spinach, brocolli, green beans etc are meant to be good for vitamins required when ttc. I don't drink tea or coffee anyway but was a massive fizzy juice drinker. I challenged myself to not have any on January and was amazed how much I withdrew from it. I have decided to cut it out altogether 🤣 I mean I will obviously drink it again at some point but want to see how long I can . I also take macca root and that it meant to help both male and female. Although I can't get my oh to take the vitamins which is a pain 🙈 I don't no how much these actually help but I like to feel I am doing something x

@1992EM I saw those tests but thought hmmm how accurate they going to be! Exactly I mean there's not much going on at the minute so not loosing out but feel like what more can I do. Fizzy drinks is a hard one to cut so you smashed that! Just read about the conceive plus so we're gonna give they a go!
