No idea what's going on my my uterus

started spotting on what I believe to be 10DPO (tues). It was so light/infrequent I didn't need so much as a pantyliner. Weds and Thurs was slightly heavier but 1 pantyliner per day was more than enough. Fri was too heavy for a pantyliner but not heavy enough to warrant a pad. Saturday (AF due date) was like a very light period flow. Today nothing. Still testing negative 15DPO. So I haven't had a proper period but no BFP either?

It's only our first cycle of properly TTC so I'm ok with the outcome either way I just want certainty. Can't get my head around what it could mean for trying to predict ovulation next month.

@WingingIt09 yeah it's a bit awkward re my maternity. I know my employer will deal with it. However due to my job I get placed on restricted duties as soon as I notify them I'm pregnant (high risk of injury/explosion to infections etc). So prior to my current mat leave I was on desk duties for 8 months. That's the part I'm dreading as it's then about 16 months a time I'm out of my day to day job if that makes sense. Obviously will have to do it again for number 2..just dreading the thought of desk duties again 😂 I do think a lot of people come back pregnant! It's the done thing at our place!

@LemonZestDribbles it is exciting! I get the whole being fed up of dtd. I got like this whilst trying to conceive DD.
It got to the point where we were planning on everything around ovulation.
Ironically, the month we fell I didn't track, we only did it once too as we had a horrific month with family stuff, death etc. go figure 😂

@anibendod have you started any vitamins etc or on medication? Some pregnancy vitamins (can't remember which ones) caused havoc with my period/cycle causing spotting and no proper AF.

@Theawkwardblonde all I'm taking is folic acid which has vitamin D in with it and the same antihistamine (cetirizine) I've taken for years for my snotty hooter

So in to month 4 of trying we go! My Flo app says I'm in my fertile window as of today. DTD this morning so off to a good start 🤣 started taking conceive plus fertility tablets & conceive plus ovulation tablets a few weeks ago so we shall see what happens in a few weeks 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hope everyone is doing ok? xx

thank you so much for the reassurance. I’m hoping 1-2 will be less of an adjustment as I’ll at least vaguely know what I’m doing but we’ll see!

Just checking in. AF has been and gone so we are now actively trying! Trying to decide whether to go for the OPKs like I did last time or just try not to focus on it too much. I’m not really a take it easy person though so I imagine I’ll be off to the pharmacy later to get the kits and shouting “it’s time!” at my husband in a week or two.

I DTD last night (CD14), will go again tomorrow night (CD16) and then again CD18 and beyond until ovulation, which will be anywhere between CD18 and CD23. Unlike the first two cycles, I'm starting earlier and will power through. My LH read at 0.72 low (0.80 is high for me) last night and my BBT has risen slightly, so hopefully ovulation isn't far. I hope everyone is doing okay xx

I'm roughly 6DPO. Part from some slight cramping today I couldn't feel more different from last month when I had my chemical.
I'm feeling energetic and absolutely no spotting! 🤞🏻

Sending lots of baby dust for those trying this month 💓

I accidentally bought a baby grow 🙃 plan is to just hide it away and hopefully use it in telling my partner at some point in the not too distant future 😅 🤞

Hi all, just catching up. Congratulations to the new Mammas-to-be. I’m currently 9
8DPO, but we only DTD once this month so low chance.

finding it a bit difficult as I have a little pregnancy and new mum gift box business and keep seeing all the lovely messages people want to be included, it’s so lovely though to think that people send gifts when somebody announces their pregnancy!

I am going to try to hold off testing until Friday. How is everyone else doing? X

I've seen a really cute pack of baby grows from Next that I've been tempted to buy. Haven't yet, but I do periodically check they are still in stock...

Only just seen this new thread! Literally just posted on the last one 🤦‍♀️

Has anyone had spotting at 1 or 2DPO ? I've never had spotting before at this stage and usually get it 7/8 DPO. Feel like it's too late to be ovulation bleeding as it's 2 days after but not sure as I've never had it before

@Bear486 just seen that! Congratulations on your positive test. When are you due?

@lj2022 sorry I've not experienced it so no idea. Could you possibly have only ovulated yesterday (so when you thigh you were 1dpo?) then it might be ovulation bleeding?

If I've worked things out correctly I'm due 1st January. I've got a doctors appointment Friday. Being my first I havent really got a clue on what happens now tbh!

Congratulations @Bear486 !

@Bear486 congratulations fantastic news x

@WingingIt09 going by my BBT I definitely ovulated on the day I thought but the spotting has stopped now so who knows. Maybe just delayed bleeding from the ovulation taking time to come out

Congratulations @Bear486 that's lovely news 😀

@OCM19 I bet that's a bit bittersweet! 💕

Congratulations @Bear486!

Congratulations @Bear486

I have my first scan on Friday. Getting nervous!

Sorry for the BFN @keeponsmiling2019 has there been any sign of AF arriving? My test was a very faint line the day period was due but did get stronger a few days later, might still be a chance? Good luck x

Congratulations @Bear486 !

Best of luck and lots of fun for everyone DTD this week! I nearly threw up my porridge this morning which I'm taking as a good sign. And I can no longer taste bananas?! Very weird.

@Dreamingof3 I started knitting a baby blanket! My DH was always finding me walking around the baby clothes sections swooning over dresses and cute little dungarees!

@Bear486 congratulations! Xx

@Brightonbelle87 I'm knitting a blanket too! It's the first actual thing I've ever made so it's taking ages 🤣

We are getting alpacas sheared in a few weeks and I've lined up my talented friend to knit some tiny baby things with the fleece when it's done can't wait. I am useless at knitting!
