@Shortmamashortcycles ah thank you, I've never spotted before I normally just start heavy 🙈 I'm still spotting now nothing on pads just when I wipe hopefully it will start properly through the night 🤞🏻

arianasky · 05/01/2022 21:03

Thank you @BabyBird20 I'm ok, had my cry and I'm already thinking about the next cycle 🙈

BabyBird20 · 05/01/2022 21:06

@Diamondbabe haha I am really tempted. Might do a reallllly early morning attempt before everyone wake up! Wink

I think the pink dye FRERs are the best for early testing though jn my first pregnancy the 'early detection' internet cheapie dip sticks were the first to pick up a line and they cost about a fiver for 15 which is good when you're obsessively testing every cycle like I was! The branded tests are just so expensive!!

Diamondbabe · 05/01/2022 21:11

I just don't have any in the house so I don't get tempted ha. When I fell pregnant with my little boy I got all my dates wrong so we were lucky to just catch it from having fun ha.

I thought I'd be more chilled with it being baby 2 as obviously I feel very lucky to have one but nope definitely still keen to get pregnant.

We had sex 2 days before the static then on the day, next day and morning after so I felt we have it a fair shot. How many times do you guys try to do it?

Definitely lots of symptoms feeling shattered, headache, generally achy and ill but then I do have a bad cold lol so all those symptoms and who knows if it's Covid at the moment.

I think I'll test on the weekend, I know it's probably early but meh you never know ha. Seems easier to focus on like 3 days rather than 7. Each day I just don't go on Amazon and buy them so then it's another day down ha.

@BabyBird20 my parents have been staying with us over the holidays through next week...we've snuck off to bed early a few nights and / or just been verrrrry quiet 😂 Not missing my chance

BabyBird20 · 05/01/2022 21:21

Haha @saltedcaramelanything I'm starting to think the same, don't want to miss the window for another whole month Cos I'm too scared to dtd at my parents house!

@Diamondbabe I reckon you've got yourself a really good shot there. You've covered possibly early and late ovulation. I'm impressed with your will power. Last cycle I think I tested every day from 9dpo til and came 3 days late!

Aww I bet @arianasky it's good to let yourself cry and get it all out then you can try to be more relaxed and try and keep positive towards the next cycle (far easier said than done I know from my own previous experiences!)

@Hopingforarainbow27 they all sound like really positive signs, I didn't get a bad back before my first but was exhausted and had a lot of twinges in a very specific place on the left of my abdomen which I reckon was implantation cramping. Fingers crossed for you!

SkaterChick · 05/01/2022 21:24

[quote HelloNope]@SkaterChick that's such a worry for you, can you have a private scan to get it checked out?
Show us your vvvfl! I am also due af next Thursday but I've been holding off testing until this weekend but you saying that made me want to test as I'm the same dpo as you 😅[/quote]
I think I'd have to go privately to a proper gynaecologist and I just can't afford that.
They said that it was nothing to worry about it but obvs can't help but worry as I mc last time. Ive been accutely aware that I'm due to ovulate from the left again this month.
I didn't take a pic and I've checked it now 🤣 I couldn't decide if I was seeing this so didn't even bother telling the dude. I'll hold off time weekend if I can... Cramps are getting worse though so feeling more like I was seeing things and af is on her way...

kizzy97 · 05/01/2022 21:29

So I've had a little bit of spotting today (6 or 9 dpo) wouldn't have noticed it if I weren't looking 🙈 still buckets of ewcm and cramping has died down a bit (had cramps and pelvic pain for a few days leading up to today), slight dizziness, backache and tender boobs and nipples! This symptom spotting is going to drive me crazy!

MrsFionaCharming · 05/01/2022 21:35

My breasts were really sore when I took my bra off last night. I’m only 6 days post ovulation, so I’m trying really hard not to overthink it!

mightbeyesmightbeno · 05/01/2022 21:48

@Bringonbaby3 @arianasky when I put "spotting" in my app it doesn't count it, but with "light flow" is when it puts it as CD1

saltedcaramelanything · 05/01/2022 22:08

Shortmamashortcycles · 05/01/2022 22:08

MyloC · 05/01/2022 22:08

@mightbeyesmightbeno Yes came up in the 3minutes and it's more a light pink in real life wouldn't say it's grey! Will test again tomorrow and see what happens.

HelloNope · 05/01/2022 22:13

MyloC · 05/01/2022 22:14

Thanks everyone. I will update in the morning. Very crampy today so not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
