apologies if some of you have had their BFP/ still waiting for it - missed people (I know there’s a few) - I took this from the June thread 💖

Hi all! BFN again today and think AF is coming so on to cycle 3! Planning to not track ovulation this month (because it means I’ll be heavily pregnant at my sisters wedding) so I’m not “officially trying” but still going to BD every 2-3 days I think! I’m also going to look into things to help with ewcm and implantation!

@bubble55 cramps and back ache are normal in early pregnancy, the uterus is stretching already. I know it’s all consuming though worrying about it. Are you going to have an early scan at all?

@BethSuz27 sorry for BFN, onwards and upwards with a fresh cycle. Vit B6 is supposed to be good for the luteal phase. Starflower oil and evening primrose increase EWCM, I used starflower for a few cycles but stopped for this one and was definitely less.

2dpo today. I’m feeling a bit obsessed in this TWW already. So planning to test 10dpo which is 8th. I have one test in the house, a CB ultra early and will try not to use it! We are away Friday to Sunday this weekend and that’s the time I’m keen to start testing so that’s helpful. AF due 11th November.

@Glawen hi 🤍 thanks for the info. I’m cd5 so about to start DTD - I normally ovulate 14/15 so don’t really know what approach to try I feel like I’ve tried everything 😂😂🤣

how u feeling?

Anyone had any experiences with implantation bleeding? 15dpo today (suspected- didn't use OPK's or temping this cycle so just a guess of symptoms) had some cramping at 11-13dpo, tested negative at 13dpo, have been spotting yesterday and today very intermittently with no cramps at all, spotting is very normal for me before AF but normally has cramps along with it, don't have any tests in to try and don't want to buy any as I'm pretty sure its AF, just throwing me off as I don't have any cramps! Spotting has been watery blood, two episodes yesterday (morning and last night) after going to the toilet, did put tampons on but they came out almost clean and then one episode today of water red blood and now gone back to slightly of colour watery CM, just seems a bit strange! Like I say I'm pretty sure it's AF and I'm just clutching straws but wondered if anyone had any experience with it?

I'm afraid I don't have any experience of implantation bleeding @Harriet669, but fx it's a good sign!

@NSx will you be tracking ovulation again this cycle?

@FieldView i don’t know, I’m too nosey to not 😂😂😂😂 but I don’t know probably will I still have OPKs and strips

@Mummyme87 my EPU scan at 6 weeks if you’ve had previous losses. I’m 6w next Monday so I’m tempted to ring Friday to book in for the week after!

@Mummyme87 I'll be testing 10dpo too which will be Friday

13/14DPO today and BFN, 2 days late as I usually have an 11 day luteal phase. Holding onto a thread of hope but know deep down I’m probably out. Expecting AF to arrive today. Have been crampy for about 6 days now, think my body is messing with me. If AF does show, atleast my luteal phase was a little longer this month which is positive I guess, I always worried it was on the short side.

Joining this thread hope that's okay! AF was due Thurs/Fri last week and I had a few lovely BFPs. Tested again today and still a decent line which makes me feel a bit better. This is my first pregnancy so I'm a bit lost and could do with some people to talk to😂

@MendaciousMabel congratulations 😊 how many cycles did it take you?

@Roxybabe OMG the ‘think my body is messing with me’ is me to a TEE . Obviously more aware of what’s going on I guess but my god since we’ve been ttc I’ve had really sore boobs every time before I come on when I don’t even remember noticing before?? I’m talking SUPER tender too!! Holding out hope for you too💕 I’m due sunday and trying to not think about it, have a feeling i’ll come on early again like last month:(. xxxxx

So after days of being so sure AF was coming, counting myself as out and feeling rubbish I had faint line this morning at approx 14dpo. I’m abit concerned with it being faint this late on. I don’t want to get excited or tell DH until the line is clearer. Ahhhh the waiting continues! I don’t know what to do.

@Roxybabe oh fingers crossed for you. You may have implanted late on perhaps (maybe what those cramps have been?!). Fingers crossed it gets stronger tomorrow x

@LMM91x oh I really hope so, thank you! Fingers crossed for you too for this month xx

@Roxybabe thank you. I’m DPO 8 or 9. Had cramps sunday and yesterday and this morning. Nothing atm. The TINIEST bit of spotting yesterday but I may have been seeing things🤣. Due at the weekend so trying to distract myself !!! ❤️

Has anyone used wondfo tests before?

@FieldView thanks! Hoping it's a sign too, no sign of AF today at all 🤞🏼

@Babydust99 I haven't sorry!

Hello ladies I haven't posted on her really but I've been watching all your progress and been active in another feed. I was wondering those of you who have had bFp if you have taken any supplements that have seemed to make a big difference. I have just been taking a pregnancy vitamin. I should be stopping trying now as per plan made with hubby but I'm just hoping I can convince him for a little more time. Xx

False alarm, thinking a nasty indent or a chemical, although leaning towards nasty indent now, AF showed 3/4 days late. Only positive being my luteal phase was 14/15 days instead of 11/12. See you on the next thread those still TTC and congrats to all the BFPs.

So sorry @Roxybabe xx

@Roxybabe so sorry for AF, but the good news is that I made this thread being July onwards, meaning this is the next thread 😂😂😂 no need to move

Sorry to hear that @Roxybabe. Have you been taking supplements or anything which could have lengthened your luteal phase?

And yes, fortunately this is a Summer 2023 baby thread so I'm going to be hanging around for another cycle at least! IF by any miracle this is the lucky cycle, it'd be due in August, so running out of time for a summer 2023 arrival 😂

@Roxybabe sorry AF has arrived 💕

@FieldView no just folic acid and CoQ10. Maybe just one of those things?
