@candycrush789 I do, I was trying properly for about 3 years (not using contraception before for a bit) and then had a daughter from IVF. Most months I still think I have symptoms. The time I was through the IVF I thought I had none and it hadn't worked!

candycrush789 · 19/07/2022 14:33

Do you think you will need to go down the Ivf route again? Again, sorry if you have already mentioned this🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ hopefully you get your bfp this month, when will you be testing?

Longbin · 19/07/2022 14:52

@candycrush789 I'm starting IVF on 28th August. Testing 27th June I think!

Salpforyou · 19/07/2022 15:22

@candycrush789 yea the line was there before I took the test apart

candycrush789 · 19/07/2022 17:45

@Longbin hopefully you get your bfp this month and you don't need to 🤞

@Salpforyou oh really maybe test again tomorrow or in a few days. I'm debating testing tomorrow with a frer, I'm due on next Thursday!

Ladies who have had implantation pain, is it just in one side or both sides like af cramps?

candycrush789 · 19/07/2022 18:01

More cramps, they have been mainly on left side but right now I feel like a pinch on my right side but it could be in my head who knows. Me and dh bd earlier so that could be why. Cervix high and medium softish, cm a bit wet, a bit dry I can't describe it. Roll on Friday when I do my first test all this symptom spotting is driving me mad! 😵‍💫

Strawberry08 · 19/07/2022 19:51

@Salpforyou that looks promising!! Fingers crossed. Take another tomorrow!

candycrush789 · 19/07/2022 21:21

So I've just had this in my shorts (too hot for undies 😂) I know you can't really see it so I've circled what I cam to hopefully make it easier, nothing when I wipe or when I cervix check, how ever was a TINY brown flake on the tissue. Could this be ib?

candycrush789 · 19/07/2022 21:22

Sorry forgot to attach pic!

CinderellaFant · 19/07/2022 21:41

3dpo here! Had a missed miscarriage in January and been trying ever since. Fingers crossed this is our month!

Cegbee · 20/07/2022 00:35

@Itiswhatitis2021 I think I might just wait until my period because I'm pretty sure it's going to be negative and I don't think I can handle a negative test. Good luck to you though- let us know how it goes!

Itiswhatitis2021 · 20/07/2022 08:05

@Cegbee u know what, that's strange as I was actually thinking the same. Thought about it in bed last night I'm sick and tired of seeing negative too.

Hi all, joining this thread as I’m in the TTW too! I have been tracking my BBT for the last 3 months since coming off the pill, this is the first month that we have properly tried in terms of DDT as close to ovulation as possible. My natural cycles app says that I am 4DPO but I think could potentially be 6DPO as I had a large drop on CD13. However, I’ve been having spotting for the last 3 days it started very light pink but now it is very dark brown. It seems far too early for my AF but also too early to be implantation bleeding? I feel a bit stressed about it in case it is pointing to another issue. I’ve included pics! Sorry if TMI!

Sj2505 · 20/07/2022 08:44

@candycrush789 absolutely it could be ib! Fx for you!! How many dpo are you now?

@CinderellaFant Welcome, and sorry for your loss in Jan ❤️

@Cegbee @Itiswhatitis2021 I don't blame you ladies, BFNs are exhausting 😭

@Doodle10 Welcome! It still could be ib, especially if you think you ovulated earlier than the app says.

I plan to test on Friday but it will still be early so I'm expecting BFN. I'm only testing as we're off out and if there's an early BFP to catch I want to catch it 😍
Failing that, I'll then test every two days. I'm off to Greece on Tuesday, so I'm likely to be either pregnant or with AF on what would have been our honeymoon.

LauraA31 · 20/07/2022 09:00

@Sj2505 I have got everything crossed for you for Friday!
I gave in and tested again this morning, BFN but trying to stay positive! I have four more days before AF is due so im not out of the game yet (thanks to this thread for keeping my head in the game!)
Boyfriend thinks we are out, he has already said ‘don’t be sad, we will just try again next month’ haha!

candycrush789 · 20/07/2022 09:02

@Sj2505 I'm 6/7dpo today, can you see anything or is it just my eyes? I took a test this morning, a first response and it was negative. I have cramps still though but if I'm honest I usually have cramps this tike in my cycle so I'm not sure 🤷‍♀️ I hope so but I'm not testing again until Saturday!

Sj2505 · 20/07/2022 09:08

@LauraA31 exactly, it's not over yet. But your bf is right, although TTC is hard there is always next time. I try to see periods as the start of a new cycle, rather than the end of this one... but philosophical but I try to be optimistic as I think it really helps.

@candycrush789 yes I see it! If that was yesterday and you did have implantation it would still be too early as there probably won't be enough hCG yet. But once implantation happens hCG should double every two days 🤞🏼

Sj2505 · 20/07/2022 09:09

**bit philosophical

candycrush789 · 20/07/2022 09:22

@Sj2505 hopefully it's it as I'm not very hopeful. It does feel like af is coming, and I had a little whitehead on my face which isn't a good sign as I only get then towards the time of the month. I have cramping, and sorry tmi but since yesterday going for a bowel movement it's green but that could be something else I suppose🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ we will see I will definitely keep you all updated, do you think a test tomorrow will pick it up or still too early?

LauraA31 · 20/07/2022 09:23

@Sj2505 I think i was a little bit optimistic to think it could happen in my first or second cycle; but you are right! AF means a new fresh cycle and any can work, 4 days left before she arrives or doesn’t.

Luckily boyfriend makes me laugh with his views on this, he said last night and I quote ‘if you don’t get a positive test this time it’s fine, we will try next month and to make us both happier i will upgrade the fish tank’…….. yes because that will make me happy too hahaha! 😂

Sj2505 · 20/07/2022 09:35

@candycrush789 I'd wait another 2-3 days if you're able to. The longer you wait the better.

@LauraA31 I'd be happy with that as a consolation haha! It's good he can make you laugh about it and you keep it light hearted. There's a lot to be said keeping relaxed about TTC.. although that's severely easier said than done haha!

rally17 · 20/07/2022 10:00

Debating if I should try a FRER test today. AF due on Friday. Had really sore boobs from last Wednesday until yesterday, now feel fine. Sunday and Monday cervix felt low and hard so was sure this was not my month but yesterday my cervix moved higher and now feels softer. Yesterday and today I took a Sainsburys test which says it can be used 5 days early, both negative. Just not sure if these are very reliable?

candycrush789 · 20/07/2022 11:12

@rally17 is cp a reliable sign? Mine is medium kind of tilted back and soft? I'm 6 or 7 dpo today and I tested this morning and was negative 🤦‍♀️
