Congrats to those with BFPs on the last thread there was a lot of you 🥳

@Marvellouslymadmum oh are the CB ones much better? It's strips I have, I've only used them a few times to be honest so I think it'll take some time getting used to. X

@minthumbugs well I tried the strips before and never got anything showing up on there, then last month I tried again and they just went up and down all month, no definite peak. The digital advanced check two different hormones and give you a flashing smiley face when it's high or static smiley face when it's your peak so a lot easier to read

Pretty sure I'm definitely out this month as I'm getting some increasingly period-like cramps. I knew it was unlikely this cycle but I'd still been symptom spotting - ah well! Onto next cycle

Hi @vitaminb33 sorry to hear that. You're not out yet though, how many dpo are you?

Ladies, don't know what's going off with my body. Yesterday (5dpo) had a bit of brown spotting. Not hopeful as never had implantation bleeding with my 3 BFPs I've had. Today it's like a light bleed that I get day before AF, but I'm only on cd20 and AF isn't due until 5th March with my new found long luteal phase. How much is too much for a possible implantation bleed? I've not been symptom spotting tbh but when it's there at each toilet trip 🤦🏼‍♀️

@bez91 my only successful pregnancy I had an implantation bleed that was like the start of a period, fresh red blood. It probably lasted just a day, hope this is it for you. Fingers crossed. X

I’ve never had implantation bleeding either @bez91 but I had random spotting every now and again during my cycle that was brown for 2-3 days, no idea what caused it!

Hey ladies. Hope you are well.
After a positive a few days ago I've started bleeding quite heavily so I know it's the inevitable. So joining you guys here again

Thank you @minthumbugs 😊 much appreciated. It does seem bizarre if it is as it's been quite a bit but wayyy to early for AF!

@PumpkinEverything thank you too. I never get spotting so a strange one! How are things with you? Didn't you have an early scan booked for today?

Hopefully it’s a good sign @bez91 ! Feel like implantation bleeding is a confusing one as some people seem to get it before their BFP and then I’ve seen it mentioned again in the weeks after.
I was supposed to 🤦‍♀️ But apparently the booking didn’t go through properly and was showing as pending on their side, so I’m now rebooked for Tuesday morning instead as they were fully booked today and are closed tomorrow. So glad I rang a few days ago to confirm the time and didn’t just show up this morning! So all over the place with some days feeling great and positive, and then all of a sudden the anxiety hits me and I start panicking a lot.

@PumpkinEverything yes very bizarre, started yesterday at 5dpo so seems to early for implantation. Nothing else but cramps and I seem to get them for everything anyway.
Arrrgh how frustrating with your scan for you! At least Tuesday isn't too far away. Completely get that, I felt like that last time and know for sure I will if it happens for us again. Keep us posted 😊

I'm so sorry @Furbsies

@Furbsies so sorry for your loss

@bez91 when I conceived both my now teenage children I didn't get any implantation bleeding or any bleeding at all actually but when I got pregnant about 4 years ago I did have implantation bleeding, which was early and light. Unfortunately the pregnancy ended in mc at 7 weeks but I know I was pregnant really early due to the implantation bleed, I think it's very individual to each pregnancy the same as other symptoms.

@Furbsies really sorry to see you back on the thread. Sending love 💕

@Marvellouslymadmum thank you. Yes you're right each pregnancy is different. Remaining pessimistic for now then anything else is a bonus on this merry go round 😂

Any ladies testing this week?

@bez91 exactly that! Good luck

@bez91 fingers crossed its good news for you and hopefully it is implantation! I know what you mean though I'm in a similar situation in that telling myself AF is on its way as I just don't feel we caught this month.

I'm two days late at the moment so waiting until at least Friday to test. No telltale symptoms I had last time I got a BFP (sore boobs was the killer!) so assuming AF is on its way until it doesn't show!

I'm also thinking my cycles could be all out of whack due to MC and since I didn't get a peak might not have ovulated at all! I realise it all sounds negative but just being realistic 😂

Hi everyone!
@bez91 fingers crossed for you that it's implantation! It could be 🤞
@ELMcg you have done so well to not test, especially when you are late for AF too. I hope it is good news for you 🙏
Its not negative what you are saying, its true your cycles could be out a bit but you're still definitely in with a chance too. I think you more that likely just missed the peak.
I tested today and BFN for me! I have been getting some signs that AF is on its way too so I'm just waiting for that to appear now and can start again 🙈

@NatJ24 it's still early for you too! When I got my BFP I was 3 days late and we were squinting at the test so feel like I need to wait a week for it to show obvious for me!

I have also thought that AF is on its way but hasn't showed up yet!
Feel like I wish it would just come and be over with 😂 been quite bloated and the odd period cramp but no sign, very weird!

Thanks @ELMcg I'm very much like you in the realistic camp! Well done on holding out, I'd do the same especially if you're not 100% on ov date. Your cycles probably are taking time to readjust, fingers crossed for you!

@NatJ24 sorry on the BFN, it's an annoying place to be between a BFN and AF as you're still in with a shot but almost sometimes wishing AF on to start the rollercoaster again!

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

@ELMcg I know! I do feel like I am out though and that AF could appear soon, I just have that feeling. Premom has my AF due on Wed 24th but going off the static smiley I think I am 12dpo today so I think it could turn up any minute haha.
I really hope its good news for you though!!
@bez91 I know, exactly!! I am just expecting AF now so I do kind of just want it to start. It definitely is a roller coaster!
Keep us updated on any of your signs 🤗

@NatJ24 I've woken up this morning to what feels like AF symptoms so I think mine is def on its way! Really hope it just arrives today as I always feel better once it's here!

I'm not too surprised so I don't feel massively disappointed, there's always next month! 😊

@ELMcg aww really!! It might not be AF but I think you always can just tell with your own body when its coming cant you.
I think once you think its on its way you just want it to appear so you can start again and move forward.

I've still got on and off cramps and I have had a small bit of spotting this morning so I am just waiting for it now. I hope it is today so I can start again too.
Deffo always next month!! Im still feeling positive about it for now 😊
Keep us updated on what happens

This will sound weird but I'm only 2 dpo and I've been getting some slight cramp like pains. This is my 1st cycle since miscarriage so wondering if my cycle is going to be off.

Still routing for you both @NatJ24 & @ELMcg 🤞🏼

Well I think I might be testing this week after my CD4 ovulation (if It was ovulation) lol, who knows. We only managed to dtd once on the day of peak so who knows.
App now says AF is due next tues giving me an 18 day cycle this month WTF!!
No symptoms at all except raging PMT and i'm considering burying my other half under the patio lol

Thanks @bez91! I've had symptoms all day fully expecting to go to the loo and AF to be there but nothing yet!

I'm so fed up now, I just want it to arrive and move on this month. By 3 days late last time I knew I was pregnant and just don't have the same symptoms this time. The longest cycle I ever had was 35 days and that was my first one off the pill, I'm like surely I'm not headed for that 😂
