@bringmearainbow I remember having implantation spotting when tests were still coming up negative last May x. Can't remember how many DPO though.

MrsJGrealish · 10/02/2023 20:07

@bringmearainbow 😳 how many dpo are you again? Remind me 🙏

LuckyMoonstone · 10/02/2023 20:08

@bringmearainbow ooh could be implantation! Plot twist made me chuckle 😂

MrsJGrealish · 10/02/2023 20:09

@bringmearainbow oh never mind. Read the full message 😂 mine is 11/12 and is like clockwork

bringmearainbow · 10/02/2023 20:30

@ScrantonDunderMifflin oooh really that's interesting

@LuckyMoonstone 😂 you know I love a good plot twist 🙊

@MrsJGrealish I had a little look back the other day and realised I actually haven't tracked that many cycles properly as either I've been on the pill, pregnant or waiting for af after mc. So I say 11/12 I've had af start at 10dpo once, 11dpo twice, 12dpo once and even a 9dpo but I'm not counting that because it was first one after pill. So really who the fudge knows what's normal for me 😂

FfoxRedN · 10/02/2023 20:39

@bringmearainbow if it is a plot twist....day 8 would be the perfect implantation dip 👀 xxx

MrsJGrealish · 10/02/2023 20:41

@bringmearainbow so after my first miscarriage it took me 7 months to talk DH into trying again. I think I have ocd with tracking. But I've had a few chemicals that have thrown it off 🙄 hoping it's a positive sign for you 🙏

bringmearainbow · 10/02/2023 20:53

@FfoxRedN I thought that but then surely today it would have shown on a frer 🤷🏼‍♀️ I think I'm probs just clutching at straws tbh but it's a nice thought 😂

@MrsJGrealish I started tracking when we tried for ds but I fell on cycle 2 then thought I'd come off the pill and started tracking jan last year as we knew we wanted to try just after our May wedding and I fell in March then the summer I fell cycle 1 after mc and this is first cycle after that so I suppose in reality I have eff all to go on 😂

FfoxRedN · 10/02/2023 21:04

@bringmearainbow yeah possibly: I'm not sure how long it takes to rise, today would have been 3 days after implantation so probably should have shown. You have us all on tenterhooks! Xx

bunnykins123 · 10/02/2023 22:24

@TheBirdintheCave I've read of so many women pressing the button with ivf and it happening naturally just before proceeding. I think it's something about stress levels perhaps? I think having a plan sometimes makes you feel like you're more in control. I also think the idea of these things are far worse than the reality.

@bringmearainbow that so confusing! Do you ever spot before your period? Really hoping it's implantation 🤞

bringmearainbow · 10/02/2023 22:53

@bunnykins123 never spotted before a period in my life 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm off to bed I'll let you all know in the morning of any updates on my crazy ass cycle 😂

bringmearainbow · 11/02/2023 07:53

As expected AF was just being a old bat proper flow this morning 🙄 temp went back up though 😂 can't win. I also just realised this morning that DH is away on a ski trip at the wrong time he goes CD17 so we might have a small chance if I O CD16/17 this month but any later and we're out. Now just gotta pray that I O on time or even better a tad early 😅

calimc83 · 11/02/2023 08:07

@bringmearainbow oh what a bitch! I had some really odd cycles of spotting before my AF after the MC's. I wonder if it's just all the hormones settling down? If he goes day 17 can u get a 'session' in that morning before he goes? Remember those little swimmers can last up to 5 days so all might not be lost..xx

calimc83 · 11/02/2023 08:08

Has anyone been watching Alex Jones on IVF? Think it's on. W? I know a few of you have been thinking about the IVF route. Really interesting programme. Last one I saw followed a couple who had their eggs genetically screened. Worth a watch xx

bringmearainbow · 11/02/2023 08:17

@calimc83 no he's leaving at stupid o clock and realistically I might have to do some tactical seduction CD16 I know what he's like he'll be working and packing until crazy late 🙄 what will be will be I can't do anything to change it 🤦🏼‍♀️

bunnykins123 · 11/02/2023 08:25

@bringmearainbow urgh sorry she arrived. My periods were defo a bit jumpy after my miscarriages. I could have cycles where I went full blown into AF and others that was days of spotting. Oh god that's bad luck, let's hope O arrives nice and early this month! What day did you O last month?

@calimc83 I've not seen it but heard good things. Defo one to watch when I get some free time (not sure Dh would be that interested in it!)

TheBirdintheCave · 11/02/2023 08:45

@calimc83 That was actually filmed at my clinic :)

bringmearainbow · 11/02/2023 09:36

@bunnykins123 was CD21 this cycle but has happened anywhere CD14-23 with most being CD16/17 so there's a good chance we might be ok 🤞🏼

TheBirdintheCave · 11/02/2023 10:47

This AF is monstrous. So so heavy. Considering I had quite a thin lining not so long ago I was expecting a light one 🤷🏻‍♀️

monsteramunch · 11/02/2023 10:51

Ugh sorry @TheBirdintheCave

Hope it isn't too painful. Can you do something nice today? Or even better, use it as a good reason to properly chill out and get cosy inside?

TheBirdintheCave · 11/02/2023 11:10

@monsteramunch Weirdly it doesn't hurt at all. We have a family lunch today so we're heading out soon :)

bunnykins123 · 11/02/2023 11:11

@bringmearainbow got my fingers crossed O comes nice and early this month for you 🤞

@TheBirdintheCave sorry to hear it's heavy. It may take a few months for things to settle again, I found my first few periods were really unpredictable, heavy, light, painful etc. it did eventually settle!

monsteramunch · 11/02/2023 11:15

@TheBirdintheCave

Ah that's good it's not an especially painful one mate.

Hope you have a nice lunch today!

ScrantonDunderMifflin · 11/02/2023 11:39

@monsteramunch how are you doing? X

monsteramunch · 11/02/2023 12:39

I'm ok thanks @ScrantonDunderMifflin just trying not to be too anxious and not sure how well I'm doing at that!

5 weeks on Monday so still such early days, sort of flitting between panicking about things going wrong and getting excited about things going well. Trying to be calm and think I'm doing all I can do.

Won't take any more tests, might book a private scan for 7 weeks and until then just focus on being healthy and trying not to work so hard.

How's your week been?
