TESTING TRAIN!! Who else is with me?

[hereforthefood]

So I'm looking for ladies who are nearing the end of their cycle, will be testing soon, and want to support each other!😁

As an intro: Hi! Im 23 and on month 2 of TTC #1, I'm currently on CD30 of a 32 day cycle. Exciting things to note for this month are that on CD27 I experienced a gush of bright red blood and have had nothing else since so I'm thinking this could be implantation! Also, for the past 2 days my cervix has been high and soft so I'm taking this as a very good sign!

How is everyone else doing?😁

[hereforthefood]

More devastation... Blood upon wiping, I'm guessing this is the start of AF and I'm out. I really thought I caught it this time...

[SylvanasWindrunner]

Aww @hereforthefood I'm so sorry. It's bitterly disappointing We took 6 cycles with our first baby and I was so over it that the cycle we conceived I almost didn't test as I was so sure it would be another negative🤞hopefully next cycle will be your one!

[K8tee]

I’m so sorry @hereforthefood :( if it was AF then I really hope next month is the month for you. I have everything crossed for you. Xx

[hereforthefood]

Hey guys! Just wanted to update and say that since 10am yesterday, I've had absolutely no more blood. I'm now on CD36 (longest cycle I've ever had) and absolutely none the wiser. I don't believe I ovulated when I thought I did, I'm now thinking I may have ovulated on or around the 2nd of October when I experienced, what I thought was implantation, bleeding. If this is the case, I'm now about 9 DPO and if AF doesn't show at any point up until next Friday, I'll do another test!

Hey ladies, hope you all had a good weekend.

@hereforthefood loving your latest update..🤞🏼 Fingers crossed for your BFP soon!

I have had more EWCM yesterday morning so definitely DTD tonight, DP won’t know what’s hit him when I pounce on him as he walks through the door! Very strange to see EWCM after 12 years of not ovulating. I hope it’s a good sign that my body is doing what I want it to after all these years 🤞🏼I know I’d be incredibly lucky to fall pregnant so soon after coming off the pill with no periods for 12 years but, I can hope!!

Hi all

@hereforthefood fingers crossed for you!

Unfortunately I have started to bleed about half an hour ago. It's red so I'm not holding out hope again this month!

[hereforthefood]

@PinkFizz1 I've heard that you're more fertile in the few months after you come off the pill so you might be more likely to catch it now than later!

@maggiegary oh god that's awful. Are you able to go to A&E and have them do some tests and scans? They should do it, especially if you've had such an obvious positive test

[maggiegary]

@hereforthefood IVe managed to get into the drs this morning. Last month I went to a and e and after waiting 7 hours I was told to retest in 2 weeks with no blood test or anything! I'm only 4 weeks +1 so far too early for a scan I believe

[PinkFizz1]

Hi @maggiegary how did you get on at the doctors? How are you doing?

[maggiegary]

@PinkFizz1 I'm not at drs till 11.45. And I'm okay, obviously gutted but at least this dr is seeing me! The one next month just told me to go to a and e over the phone 🤷‍♀️

[hereforthefood]

@maggiegary good luck! I have my fingers crossed for everything to be alright

[hereforthefood]

How did you get on @maggiegary ?

[maggiegary]

@hereforthefood I'm still at my gps. They can't get through on the phone to epu.
I did a unrobe test here and it was a blazing positive but the dr said it had to be a bold dark line?!
I'm currently sat in my car waiting for her to get through to epu, the person next to me has parked like an idiot and I've ripped my skirt all the way up trying to get into my car! What a shit day

[PinkFizz1]

@maggiegary sorry to hear you're having such a palava! Hopefully you are out now, how did it go? Thinking of you.

@hereforthefood any update on the spotting/possible AF? Fingers crossed for you.

[maggiegary]

@PinkFizz1 I have a phone appointment with epu tomorrow... I genuinely think I should have been offered a blood test don't you?

Am I being over the top? In all fairness I'm only 4 weeks +1 but I felt so lost and hopeless and that no one wanted to help last time and I feel the same this time

[hereforthefood]

@PinkFizz1 still nothing! The past 2 cycles I've had have started with 3 days of continuous spotting beforehand so the fact that I've had nothing more for 2 days now is a good sign!

@maggiegary I can't imagine how you must be feeling. Has the bleeding stopped yet? Is/was it heavy? Hopefully it's just a false period that some women get around this time in pregnancy, absolutely terrible the doctor didn't do more

[maggiegary]

@hereforthefood
It's funny because this time they have done more than last time!
I'm still bleeding, I don't know if it's heavy or not? It's not soaking a pad or anything but there seems to be a lot and it's bright red - not like my usual period at all

[hereforthefood]

@maggiegary at least they're taking you more seriously now. Have you got any cramps? If you're not bleeding heavily then it's probably nothing!

Still no more bleeding for me. So tempted to do another test as now on CD38 but I'm scared of getting another negative and wasting another FRER. Think I'll wait for AF but I have no idea when it should be showing up now which makes it hard to decide when enough is enough and test anyway

[sak96x]

@hereforthefood My sister had bleeding similar to yours and she tested positive after the bleed. IMO I think the bleeding is implantation bleeding which would probably show a positive if you were to test know.

[hereforthefood]

@sak98x oh god don't tempt me😭😭 it's onlg been 3 days since the bleeding, surely a positive wouldn't show that quickly after implantation right? Surely you'd have to wait a week or so for HCG to build up?

Glances at drawer tests are in

[sak96x]

@hereforthefood She got a faint positive shortly after and a few days after that she got a solid positive x. Good luck!

[PinkFizz1]

@maggiegary Yes I definitely think you should have been offered a blood test! Hope it passes and turns out to be nothing.

@hereforthefood You have more willpower than me!

[hereforthefood]

@Sak96x I want to know so badly but don't want it to be too early and get a false negative/so faint you can barely see it positive😭 although I am meant to be going out this weekend (figured I'd know whether I was or wasn't by then🙄) so I need to do a test before then. Maybe tomorrow or Friday 🤔

@PinkFizz1 it's less willpower and more i-cant-spend-anymore-money-on-god-damn-tests power😂

[maggiegary]

@hereforthefood I know the struggle of wanting to buy good test but not being able to justify spending the money!!

@PinkFizz1 I have had such a run around today! Luckily my boss and his wife were in the office today and are very understanding and don't mind me being on the phone for hours! I had my call from epu I missed it and it took an hour on hold for me to get through. They said it's not an emergency as I'm so early and they wouldn't see me there (even though I went three times for blood tests last month) they said I should have a blood test at drs. Rang gp (half hour on hold then phone went dead and another half hour on hold) they hadn't received the email from epu to say give me a blood test so the receptionist couldn't book me in without speaking to gp, no gps at all in the practice when I rang (!?!) finally got a phone call back after an hour and a half to say they could do a blood test on Friday. Obviously I will not be waiting that long. It took me crying three times on the phone for them to give me an appointment for tomorrow for a blood test. Although my second test will now be Monday. I just want to know if I'm miscarrying or not!

[maggiegary]

I forgot to add, I did ICs last night and today clear positives on both and possibly getting darker?
