Oh did you @Heartbrokenmama? Is that sort of spotting normal for you at this stage of your cycle?

So sorry @cockneysparra1 😩 it gets so draining doesn't it xx

Heartbrokenmama · 24/08/2021 10:42

@Cruz86 I normally get a bit of spotting in the 1-2 days leading up to AF but not any sooner than that. This month it was 6-7 days before AF so well in the middle of my 2ww

Cruz86 · 24/08/2021 11:09

Ah okay. Problem is, I have a short luteal phase so I'm only 4 days away from AF being due 😩

WJK00 · 24/08/2021 11:47

Does anyone else get super bloated in the tww? I know increased progesterone can cause it but I'm always so bloody bloated for no less week before AF it's awful whether I get BFP or not.

Just annoying as I only spend two weeks out the month actually feeling normal.

Cruz86 · 24/08/2021 12:35

Yeah I am, it's so frustrating because like you say, there's only a small window where I feel okay!

traveltheworld1986 · 24/08/2021 12:58

Hope everyone is doing OK, sorry to hear a few AF have arrived. Still hoping to see a few more positives yet!!x

Cruz86 · 24/08/2021 13:15

AF has officially arrived! I also hope to see some good news over the next few days ☺️ x

CameraCoffeeCrochet · 24/08/2021 22:10

AF just arrived this evening , 2 days late too. Oh well, sad and crampy now but I guess just keep trying. Love to everyone ❤️

At least there's a few of us on cd 1 today xx

My last two were 31 days and this one has been 23 days so god knows when I'm next due on! X

Cruz86 · 24/08/2021 22:51

Sorry to hear that @CameraCoffeeCrochet 😔

Are your cycles normally irregular @cockneysparra1?

I'm really confused with mine because I had bright red blood earlier on and figured that was it, but I haven't had anything since, just a bit of spotting. So frustrating!

Cruz86 · 25/08/2021 13:50

Hi, how are you all? I'm so confused. Only getting specks of fresh blood. Normally when af starts it's really heavy, and if I do get any spotting in the few days before it's due, it's brown. Not red. What is going on!!

I'm miserable today I'm about 10dpo and just know I am out this month Envy

How strange!! How many days have you had it for now? And when is AF due?

I'm confused too. So Monday night I had cramps, and woke Tuesday morning and when I wiped had a pink discharge which then was brown. Nothing for the rest of the day. Did a test this am. BFN. Due AF Friday.
Cruz86 · 25/08/2021 14:24

How annoying @WJK00 😩 when is AF due?

I had a tiny bit of pink spotting on Monday morning, then red flecks yesterday and this morning. But only when I go for a poo (sorry!) It's so weird.

Ah how frustrating @Amester21. Are you going to wait until Friday before testing again? I might have to get a FRER x

WJK00 · 25/08/2021 14:56

@Cruz86 Around Sunday I think! I hate this part 😂

That is odd!! See what it does for the rest of the day maybe? You know what's normal for you and if this isn't normal then deffo take a test. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼🤩

Cruz86 · 25/08/2021 16:03

Eurgh, it really is the worst part isn't it! I always tell myself not to become so obsessive but I just can't help it 😂 Fingers crossed for you.

Yeah, you're right. This does seem quite strange. I'll get a test this evening and do it tomorrow morning!

@Cruz86 i don't know. Will prob try. Never spot before period. Was convinced I had started AF. Since DTD just not felt right this month. Last 3 days I have fell asleep in pm too. X
Justanotherlondonmum · 25/08/2021 20:03

Sorry to all those who are out this cycle, fingers crossed for the next one!!

Congratulations to those with their first hint of a bfp!!

I think I'm about 8dpo will test tomorrow, tested at 6dpo because I'm clearly a masochist. I'm absolutely shook I've not tested today. (Silently congratulating my self control 🥳.)
Expecting a BFN, not feeling anything symptom wise and I've stopped tracking ovulation so it's all a bit of pot luck now, which is fun.....

Flowerpot564 · 25/08/2021 21:52

Hey everyone, back after a while! congrats to those who have got good news😘 AF has finally gone, back to another cycle of trying and waiting😫 good luck to everyone who is still trying🤞🏻

traveltheworld1986 · 26/08/2021 06:50

Hope everyone is hanging in there! Seems a few AFs have arrived. I'm still waiting for mine, it's due Monday so don't know when to take my last clear blue test, possibly tomorrow! I have still only got negatives so far! Still showing a few symptoms, mainly sore boobs and tiredness, but other than that nothing!x

Km12345 · 26/08/2021 09:09

Hi all , haven't posted in a while!! Had lots of random symptoms last week , AF was due Saturday (I think) but no show, had a tiny bit of spotting Monday, Tuesday but negative tests!! So assumed AF was on the way slowly, but still not here!! Only symptom I have at the moment is sore boobs , and fatigue. Really confused as to what's going on!

Starting to think it's the covid vaccine messing with as I'm clearly not pregnant as I've had no positive tests

traveltheworld1986 · 26/08/2021 09:24

I've got a faint positive on a clear blue today! It won't let me post a pic though!!! Do I contact Dr now or wait until missed period? I had my dd in Australia so no idea what to do in UK x

eeeek how exciting 🤩

The GP didn't want to know when I called. They told me to register online with midwifes and wait for them to get in contact x

Cruz86 · 26/08/2021 09:35

I know what you mean @Amester21. I've just felt different too. Still no AF but not due til Saturday and starting to feel a bit crampy. Have you tested any more?

Have you tested this morning @Justanotherlondonmum?!

Good luck for this cycle @Flowerpot564. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@traveltheworld1986 it's so hard telling yourself not to test all the time! Fingers crossed the no symptoms is actually a good thing!

@Km12345 ah how frustrating. When did you have the vaccine?

Ahhhhh, how exciting!!! You don't need to do anything yet. It's actually really frustrating, you register online and then wait for your first appointment which, if I remember with my son, would've been around the 12 weeks!! Xx
