Please tag anyone I’ve missed!

@kay00 all my close friends know but I haven't told anyone in my family. I know no good would come out of it though, it would results in ignorant and insensitive statements.

@TheDaydreamBelievers did your temp rise?

@CharWils ovulation is 12-36 h from the first surge so i don't think that second day of peak counted as much!

@Juno231 not dropped but not risen either!

@Kay00 my mum knows and several of my close friends (about 4 or so). Mostly helpful, sometimes a bit pressuring (mum)

I’m 11DPO today but been spotting very pale pink since yesterday so fully expecting for AF to rear it’s ugly head. Been on a hen weekend and it was fab though. Onto cycle 11 I guess….. as ovulation was earlier this cycle my cycle will be shorter this month so expecting AF in the next couple of days.
Also waiting for progesterone blood test I had on Thursday.

@moocher90 glad you had a lovely hen weekend 😄 hopefully AF stays away 🤞

@Moocher90 ah I'm glad you had fun! Boo for the spotting though, let's hope AF stays away though.

@TheDaydreamBelievers well at least your chart is staying consistent... I'm sorry it's dragging though. How old are you again if you don't mind me asking - would you be able to go to the GPs about this at the 6 month mark?

New here* sorry to butt in on the conversation but a lovely lady sent me this way. Were ttc, came of the pill 23 march, had a withdrawl bleed and nothing since until past 3 days (tmi) ive been spotting brown which had some bright red in today, i have health anxiety so totaly freeking myself out that i havent had a poper period yet (had neg pregnancy test) anyone else similar situation? Desperately need reasurance

Hi @Amz24 No need to panic its perfectly normal (albeit frustrating) to take a little while for your cycles to come back to 'normal', and there are a few ladies here who have had monster long cycles of over 140 days! Hopefully the bleeding you have had in the last few days means that your AF is finally due to turn up x

And Welcome!

@kay00 thank you! Thats reasurring! We are desperate to be pregnant but a period would be a welcome reasurance that everythings okay!

@Juno231 32 so not super young but not hitting nhs criteria for faster referral. GP has told me they will not refer until dec 2020 as that's one year after we lost our first. On the verge of going private tbh!

Welcome @Amz24

Thanks @Juno231 as always!

So first peak on Friday and second peak was Sunday as per the previous pic, they have gone back down now (they did yesterday)

The apps have put my ovulation day as yesterday as Saturdays was the darkest line out of all of them.

I really feel like I'm out this month as we only DTD on the 23rd and Friday. When I conceived before I did it the day before, day of and day after. Is there still hope? 🤞

Eugh second peak Saturday, not Sunday!

Morning all!

@CharWils Sounds like you had decent coverage then It only takes one little swimmer!

@TheDaydreamBelievers honestly if you can afford I'd go private as it sounds like you'd just need something like clomid to get pregnant - so not exactly IVF costs.

@CharWils you sound well covered! You've hit two super fertile days so that's all you need :)

@Amz24 welcome! did the bright red turn into full flow in the end?

@Juno231 no full flow yet! Some bright red again this morning so im feeling alittle less worried that atleast theres something and hopefuly my body will adjust! Hopefuly sooner rather than later because post pill acne is high haha!

Thanks @Kay00 and @Juno231. Really appreciate your reassurances when I'm having a meltdown.

How many DPO does everyone tests and with what tests? Or just wait until period should show?

@CharWils id strongly encourage at least 12dpo and a FRER test. When I did conceive i had a blank at 9dpo and was a bit down about it, when clearly it was just too early to test. Theres a chart somewhere of how likely you are to get a false negative at what dpo, but basically if you test too early you risk bumming yourself out with a false negative

@CharWils check this out: www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=11 it shows you the stats per dpo and also by pregnancy test: www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/brand-chart.php?brandid=1

@Amz24 fingers crossed something is happening - it bodes well for AF being imminent though if you're suffering from pizza face . I had post pill acne too so I feel for you!

@Juno231 its the worst! I swear you could play dot to dot on me

AF is in full flow so CD1 for me today :(

Hi guys, hope you're all okay!

Not a great update from me, I went for my 12 weeks scan today and baby stopped growing at 8 weeks and there was no heartbeat, they sent me up to the womens hospital where I have been all afternoon, they confirmed missed miscarriage and I go back on Monday for surgical management. I have hadno bleeding and no pain so it was a massive shock and I feel pretty numb at the moment.

They've reffered me to the recurrent miscarriage clinic so maybe I'll start getting some answers at some point.

Sorry for the debbie downer post!

@ChinChilly is this your third loss now? Im so sorry. Happy to talk at any point if you would like to, I know how painful this is

@TheDaydreamBelievers yeah, other 2 were early losses but she said they still count them. Thank you, I really appreciate it. I wish I had been given a warning sign so I could of prepared myself, I've had a really rough time with sickness which everyone tells you is a good sign 😕

@ChinChilly unfortunately it often happens (me too) that the symptoms before and after the little bean passes away dont change at all. Its heartbreaking, and im so sorry xxx

@TheDaydreamBelievers it really is like the ultimate cruel trick from mother nature.
