@wellhelloitsme I did the precautionary tampax on holiday so not tmi here

@MamaSJ15 sorry about AF🙁

MamaSJ15 · 10/09/2022 18:05

@wellhelloitsme thank you.
it is horrid isn't it. i'm sorry you get like that on your period, that sounds awful. could you maybe use a sanitary towel for precaution? i would say it wouldnt be very comfortable removing it if af doesn't arrive, but that's your choice of course 😊

@MrsCristianoX thank you. Are you feeling any better?

MrsCristianoX · 10/09/2022 18:23

@MamaSJ15 nope! Wanna scream into a pillow. How are you?

MrsCristianoX · 10/09/2022 18:32

@MamaSJ15 actually wanna scream at everyone but doing my best to hold it together 😭

MamaSJ15 · 10/09/2022 21:03

@MrsCristianoX oh I'm sorry. It must feel so crappy. Are you home from your holiday? Did you have a good time despite the bad news?
I'm okay thanks. Got a house move to keep me occupied! I'm knackered already 😂 moving next weekend now.

alwaysseeingstars · 11/09/2022 06:58

@MamaSJ15 @MrsCristianoX I'm so sorry lovelies - sending you hugs and hope you're ok xx

wellhelloitsme · 11/09/2022 08:04

@MrsCristianoX thanks Flowers

Still testing negative but having the worst period pains and no period so I'm in no man's land.

I'm convinced it's my period as the cramps are exactly like the normal worst ones I get.

Just no AF despite it being due yesterday.

MrsCristianoX · 11/09/2022 09:06

@wellhelloitsme ahh limbo land I hate it there Xx

Hjudge56 · 11/09/2022 19:30

How are you feeling @MrsCristianoX ?

MrsCristianoX · 11/09/2022 19:38

@Hjudge56 I'm doing ok xx the bleeding lasted for 2 days (it never lasts 2 days) so I'll do another test tomorrow for closure. Spiky pain on my right hand side this morning which was not cool 🙄

How are you getting on? Are u finally in TWW? Xx

Hjudge56 · 11/09/2022 19:58

@MrsCristianoX so sorry to hear you’ve been in discomfort on top of the bleeding. Is there anyway it’s implantation? Yes I think I’m about 7DPO. I had random cramping 5&6 DPO and a sore right boob haha but nothing today. Just trying to crack on with life and not focus too much on it!

MrsCristianoX · 11/09/2022 20:07

@Hjudge56 that's the only way to get through it. You'd drive yourself mad otherwise. My cycle this time was really odd. I cramped from ovulation right up to 8 dpo then nothing then cramping again on hols, followed by bleeding. So weird. Likely as soon as I write this my insides will fall outta me 😂 I've done a few of the cheapie one steps and they are still showing lines BUT they are unreliable. I'll do a proper test tomorrow and hopefully get on with the next cycle xx I'm literally fed up with DTD now 🙄🙄😂

Hjudge56 · 11/09/2022 20:11

@MrsCristianoX Exactly… I’ve kind of come to the point where I realise every cycle is different and every twinge or sudden soreness etc can just be anything! I mean it sounds like things could still be happening for you🤞🏼When DPO did you get your first line and where are you at now? Have the lines got darker? Really hope this takes a turn but always best to expect the worst which is very annoying!

MrsCristianoX · 11/09/2022 20:26

@Hjudge56 first positive at 3+2 so 4+2 now and the lines are in no way stronger. I want to take a proper test with fmu and be like that's it now. I'm googling implantation tips now it seems I can conceive easy enough it's just getting them to stick!! If I try again I'm not 100% sure I will though xx need to DTD and I don't wanna 😭😭🤣

Hjudge56 · 11/09/2022 20:30

@MrsCristianoX yes definitely do a proper test with FMU. I really hope this sticks and maybe just hcg taking a while to build up 🤞🏼 It would be very interesting to hear any implantation tips!!!

canonlyhopexo · 11/09/2022 20:42

@MrsCristianoX I'd defo do another just in case! 3+2 is super duper early so maybe it's just your hcg levels starting to kick in and implantation bleeding!?

I'm on CD27, due on on Saturday and I've tested BFNs twice. Hoping it's just too early but I'm expecting disappointment 😕😔

MrsCristianoX · 11/09/2022 20:57

@canonlyhopexo @Hjudge56 I always try to talk myself out of pregnancy and babies before I test because I feel like if I don't want to be pregnant it will absolutely happen. That's sounds really weird I'm sorry 🤣 Then I get to this point and I'm like please please no more bleeding 🙏🙏 my pessimist attitude to pregnancy goes right out the window

@Hjudge56 im working on it! Xx

Yea I'm under no illusion of a positive I did lose a good bit of blood but then I can start focusing on my next cycle and timing it so I only need to DTD once😂 it's been a long 9 months 😏

@canonlyhopexo you have longer cycles? Mine are 26/27 max so it all happens at once. AF stops then fertile week is on top of me, quite literally 😂

Hjudge56 · 11/09/2022 21:20

@MrsCristianoX yeah I get you that’s the exact same attitude I’m trying to have! Be carefree and it is bound to happen 😂😂! Let us know how you get on in the morning… I really hope it’s implantation or your hcg levels not risen enough yet! I’m the same with DTD just getting annoying hahahaha! See I’m sitting here now and got these dull aches again… just wonder if it’s AF coming early!

canonlyhopexo · 11/09/2022 21:25

@MrsCristianoX oh no I totally understand that, I try and do the same! And try to minimalise my disappointed but alas am still disappointed. Yes my cycles are about 33/35 days apart from after a chemical I had a 28 day one randomly. I did cave tonight and tested got a BFN. We've only DTD up until CD21 and I didn't do any OPKs but didn't have ANY symptoms like EWCM and I think I've probably just missed the boat which pisses me off even more! Why didn't we have more sex lol. It's gets exhausting though.

Hjudge56 · 12/09/2022 12:35

Any news this morning on the test with FMU @MrsCristianoX ? 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

MamaSJ15 · 12/09/2022 13:23

@MrsCristianoX totally with you. Let us know how you get on testing.
With moving house, this next cycle is not gonna be well tracked at all, but maybe a distraction is what we need!

MrsCristianoX · 12/09/2022 13:23

@Hjudge56 bfn on FRER and I can only assume indents on the cheapie now🤷‍♀️ bloody hell I've looked at these tests so much I now have actual line eyes😂 ugh

Still no bleeding but I'm putting it right out of my head for one week exactly. Let's see how that goes😅

How are you feeling? Xx

MrsCristianoX · 12/09/2022 16:17

@MamaSJ15 @Hjudge56 this mornings bfn and I've since started to bleed..it's mentally draining this ttc

Hjudge56 · 12/09/2022 16:33

@MrsCristianoX oh I am so sorry… it is so so frustrating. Will you continue to try? I really have a feeling your time is very soon ❤️ TTC is so so draining but we are strong 🙏🏼

I am good thank you. I’m cramping again and I realised it’s been since 5dpo. I’m now 7dpo. They’re very mild and random but it’s making me feel tired haha. Going to wait a few days and test!

Hjudge56 · 12/09/2022 17:05

*now 8dpo
