Think we need a new thread as I tried to post on the old thread and it wouldn't let me!! Please tag in anyone else I've missed who may want to join us here!

@hoola23 I'm 14dpo! I've got one clear blue, one FRER and one clear blue digital. I wish I had two FRERs then I could do one a couple of days running to see if they get darker as I feel like a positive would just make me anxious right now! It's like this brown tinged mucus has taken me back to those first few weeks of my last pregnancy which was just so awful and anxiety provoking, and I've not even got a bloody positive yet! X

@newtolineofduty you could do the clear blue one and save the FReR, just to see?! Do you normally spot before AF?!

@newtolineofduty if it's sort of brown then that's old blood, and that's usually a better sign than if it's bright pink 🙂🙂 could be linked to implantation perhaps? Before my AF I get very pale pink bits of CM since it's fresh blood (sorry for TMI). Do you think you'll test or wait it out? Xx

CD 4 for me, just waiting for AF to finally piss off so we can start afresh 🙂 going to a friends wedding on Saturday and it'll be the first proper night away WITHOUT DD!!!!! DH is worried that he'll be limping out of the hotel room 😂😂

@CShandy01 sounds like you're in for a good night! I sometimes get a bit of brown spotting prior to my period @hoola23 which is why I'm feeling a little anxious!

I think I'll take a test in the morning-a FRER, and then if it's positive do a digital when we get back at the weekend to hopefully confirm it's all good!

Listen to me talking as if I'm just assuming I'm pregnant! Never felt quite like this though! X

@CShandy01 how you feeling about the completely different approach this month?! That will be so nice to just have some time for you and DH! ❤️

@newtolineofduty I am SO excited for you!! I love the confidence too, I think that's a great sign! Can't wait for tomorrow's update!!! ❤️❤️

@hoola23 I've just got my little urine pot and FRER out on the side in the ensuite ready for the morning! I might chicken out! My lower back pain is now more in my abdomen but is now intermittent. I was thinking that 14dpo would be too late for implantation cramps but I had it at 6 weeks and the EPU said it was implantation!

Urgh I'm dreading tomorrow morning already! I'll be ok either way though, but at least I'll know! If I'm not I'm going to eat all the Brie and blue cheese on holiday 😝 x

@newtolineofduty I defo don't think 14dpo is too late for cramps! Can't wait to find out tomo! As long as you're prepared for both outcomes, you will be fine. If it's negative, have some time and then try and just move on, focus on the next month and have an amazing time getting drunk and eating cheese and having fun with DH!
And if it's positive, well, it's obvious! 🤣 ❤️❤️

@hoola23 I'm actually super chilled about it, if I'm honest. I think being back at work has given me a bit of a chance to breathe and find my own time, and not be just focused on toilet training a 2 year old 😂

We've said whatever happens will happen, and we'll just DTD when we can. If I notice any changes in CM that May also make us DTD too, but I refuse to do anything else. We'll see what happens 🙂🙂

@CShandy01 that's the best attitude to have! It will be so much better to not be obsessing about it all! It actually made me depressed after a while, just all got too much for me! X

Hey everyone! So woke up this morning to lots of brown blood! Decided to do a test anyway so that I'm not in any doubt it's my period rather than implantation bleeding and BFN. I'm ok about the not being pregnant bit, but I'm just really annoyed at my body for giving me pregnancy signs! I mean for my gums to be bleeding when the only other time they've bled before in my life was when I was pregnant with DD-how cruel is that!?!?!?! The last couple of days I've felt really ropey too-so sick and dizzy and a total change in appetite! I don't usually get the latter with pms but it must be a bad case of pms this month aswell. I'm hoping it passes ASAP so I can enjoy our holiday! X

Sorry it's not the outcome you wanted @newtolineofduty . At least now you can hopefully enjoy this holiday and all the blue cheese you can muster. Have a lovely break.

@newtolineofduty ah no!!! Our bodies are cruel sometimes!! This month just wasn't the month hun, you will DEFO have a fab holiday, think of all the cheese!!!!

I'm also moving on with you too, I've now had bright red bleeding, not a lot but enough to come to the conclusion that this pregnancy is not staying. I had a little cry at 4am, deleted every single pregnancy app and now I'm moving on. Sometimes things just aren't meant to be!
Next month will be ALL our months! ❤️

@hoola23 I'm so so sorry but try not to give up just yet. Do you have any pregnancy tests to check for line progression? Are you in pain? Red blood can also happen it doesn't mean it's the end xxx

@newtolineofduty thanks hun. No pain really but I have that periody feeling if that makes sense! Also, the same feeling I had when I thought this was my month is the same feeling I have that it's now not going to stay! It's not loads of blood but I'm definitely bleeding. I've never had a miscarriage so I don't know what I'm looking for! I guess this would actually be a chemical too as I'm 4w 5 days. Do I bother calling anyone? When should the pregnancy test say negative? X

@hoola23 that's really rubbish if it is I'm so sorry. I'm not too sure on how long the hcg takes to reduce etc but there will be plenty of insight on MN xx sending so much love hun x

@MrsRosaline hope you have better luck today than us! Xxx

@newtolineofduty thank you! I've managed to get a gp call today so will see what they say. The thing that's upsetting me most is having to start trying again. I am honestly so done with it all and it just feels like constant failure. I'm writing today off and have to change my mindset tomorrow!

@MrsRosaline no pressure hun but I hope you have good news!!! ❤️❤️❤️

@hoola23 I know exactly what you mean! Both myself and my DP feel that we've failed each month and Im also gutted about having to try again. I've got enough CB fertility monitor sticks to last this month but then Im not going to use them!!! Im also not going to test any more until AF is late late!

I would discuss with the GP about TTC for a year too-it might be something really straight forward to 'treat' hun xxx

@newtolineofduty it's bloody horrible isn't it. I really don't want to be an adult anymore🤣 I had actually stocked up on my monitor sticks so will use those up then go eau natural! The thought of all the waiting is really pissing me off. I'm going to also have to wait for this chemical to pass too and I have a feeling it's really going to drag as it's not a proper period flow yet! Great! I wonder when I will ovulate again? Would it be as if this is CD1?

I am totally with you on the not testing early thing now after this. I think I'll wait two weeks after AF is due to test! Never thought I'd be saying that!

In all honestly, I have to look at positives
1.I can lose more weight before I get pregnant again

1. Can save more money for mat leave
2. Can actually fall pregnant

@hoola23 totally they are all real positives! I'm also going to try and get back in to my fitness too!!! It's hard with DD but going to really try and calve out some time to feel I'm taking some sort of control!!!! I think I've read that people count the first day of bleeding as cycle day 1 yes hun x

@newtolineofduty I have to hold on to the positives otherwise I'll just cry! I have to focus on myself and my health and this will be my goal for this month. I really want to lose at least two stone before I get pregnant again which realistically, might take 6 months to do and I'm ok with that
CD1, let's go!

We're both CD1 hun @hoola23! I've just booked on to my first fitness class in months and I already feel better!!!

A couple of things I did this month which really helped to stay calm. I've seen a counsellor privately to 'offload' all this stuff and feel loads better-only had three sessions but I feel so much lighter!!! I also made a pact with myself not to count down during the TWW/symptom spot or do any googling! It all really helped as it meant I gave TTC much less headspace! Xxx

Guys I'm on CD5 so I'm only just ahead of you. Let's go through this month together 🙂 no testing at all until late AF, let's just chill and moan to each other, but take a step back and focus on ourselves. I know it's easier to say it than do it, but we're here for each other ❤️❤️❤️

So sorry it's not the outcomes you wanted and it didn't work out this time, hoping next month is all our months @hoola23 @newtolineofduty Hope your GP call goes ok @hoola23 and that you have a wonderful holiday @newtolineofduty ☀️

I also woke up with uterine cramping just like I'm about to come on my period which is definitely bizzarre as am 11 DPO and my period almost always comes on CD 30-32 not CD 26! Usually I get very moody and get no CM before but I don't have those signs this time. Wondering if I should just delete my Flo app as perhaps I ovulated early and missed the opportunity to DTD - try and take the relaxed approach like everyone else?
