Hi ladies,

who wants to join for the tww? I had peak fertility on 25/02/23. So I think I may have ovulated 26/02/23.

now in the tww.

who wants to join?

I’m TTC#2, month 8 of TTC this time. 16 months TTC #1.

I can’t say I’m feeling particularly hopeful. I’m used to the disappointment (again), sadly.

AF just arrived for me so I’m out for this month. Crossing my fingers for the rest of you xx

I'm sorry @Lilothblos and everyone else on this thread that AF has arrived for, or are still in limbo! I'm thinking of you all! Xxx

TTCagain85 · 12/03/2023 20:07

Sorry to hear that @Lilothblos. 😞

Piglet34 · 12/03/2023 20:38

@Lilothblos so sorry to hear that AF showed 😔 xx

@Freya8 ooh okay I will try hold out until Tuesday too! And I know tell me about it they have no idea how long it feels!!

@TTCagain85 that does sound like an annoying thing to add in to the mix when you already feel stressed and in the throes of TWW. In laws can be tricky! Hope you managed to have a chilled evening at least

Freya8 · 13/03/2023 06:36

Are you sure @Freya8 ? When is AF due? No symptoms aren't always a bad thing? I've spotted friday- Sunday and nothing today and AF hasn't fully started. Stupidly did a FRER, just to see, BFN 😔 just incase I was going mad! Lol xxx

TTCagain85 · 13/03/2023 10:30

I'd a dip below cover line today. Still annoyed from weekend and had little sleep last night due to being wound up and child coming into our bed due to persistent coughing (bless him). Hubby didn't speak to me this morning other than to say bye, albeit I was equally as thran 😩

Freya8 · 13/03/2023 10:38

@Floralsandsmiles no clue wen period is due? I only came off pill 21st feb lol n then got my static smiley 1st march assumed my ov was 2nd march.

Aww man! That's even more annoying for you @Freya8 ! If it took 2 weeks from coming off pill, then if say that 2 weeks after ovulation is sensible yes. We're you regular before that?

I haven't had an indent before, but this could be, from the sounds of others...

And I have no idea on implantation. I felt lots of cramps after the blood on Friday, which is why I thought it was AF. However I don't know what implantation looks like and this was bright red blood and quite abit? So made me think wasn't that and just normal spotting before AF.. xxx

Freya8 · 13/03/2023 10:55

@Floralsandsmiles lol ive been on the pill for years since i was 18 i only stopped wen i was tcc my dd n i was preg after 2 weeks no period no withdrawl bleed. So i really have no clue wat my periods would even be like once she was born back on the pill again. Fast forward 6 yrs later lol awh this is a bloody mindfield. We arent out out yet i guess. Jeez am gonna have to go buy more tests 😫 on me lunch break xx

O god! This is a bloody minefield @Freya8 !!!

I'm researching implantation bleeds and everything! Basically it happens on 9DPO (which I was on Friday, so right time), it's followed by cramps (which mine was), is intermittent (which mine is) and you can have hot flashes (which I am!) and can last 1-2 days (which I did). However its pinky/brown and mine was dark red. However yesterday I used a tampon and after the morning nothing was on it, other than few bits of brown. (Sorry too much info).. am I getting my hopes up?!! And its just spotting before AF?! 😕😕 xxxx

Freya8 · 13/03/2023 13:23

@Floralsandsmiles i still think theres hope as i know 100 percent my sis in law bled proper red blood for 12days now it wouldnt have been filling pads like a period or anything. Obv at the time for her she thought she was out but no shes like 17 weeks now or in and around that xx keep the faith xx

Thank you @Freya8 , I'm sure I'm out, but nice to think its not all over yet. I'm crossing my fingers for you too hun. You girls have honestly saved me losing my mind this month! Xxx

Piglet34 · 13/03/2023 15:39

@Floralsandsmiles that's interesting that your full AF never showed! Am really crossing my fingers for you that is could have been implantation or something.

I'm 11dpo today and brown spotting seems to have mostly gone today and yday. Just a few dots now whereas was quite a bit on 7/8/9dpo. Mine is brown with stringy bits (soz TMI), no idea what it could be but I get it every cycle! Today I noticed lower back pain when doing yoga but could be from anything I guess. Also DTD last night and it was nothing to what it usually feels like which was weird!! Trying not to get my hopes up tbh. AF due thurs or fri so we shall see

Hope everyone else okay today ! Xx

TTC53 · 13/03/2023 15:53

Sorry to hear AF arrived @Lilothblos 😔 I hope you treated yourself to a large glass of wine.

Frustrating also @TTCagain85 that your bbt has dipped. What dpo are you?

Everyone else still sounds pretty promising. Really keeping everything crossed and keep us all updated.

AF now between 24-48 hours late, still BFN and BBT went even higher to 37.00 this morning. To say im confused is an understatement!

Hi @Piglet34 👋 I don't want to get my hopes up as the last 2 cycles I have had about 4 -5 days of spotting and then AF for about 3. So I don't know if this is implantation or not, as it only roughly there when I wipe every now and then (and now pink). I remember on the first day a large dollop of CM come out (cloudy) and then the spotting. I thought it was so weird!
But I'm feeling cramping now and then, (alot when spotting started) but i think it's just AF to be honest..

Yours sounds promising! Are you doing BBT? Xxx

Piglet34 · 13/03/2023 16:35

@Floralsandsmiles no I stopped tracking BBT this cycle as I was noticing that my morning temp would affect my mood for the day, like if I had a temp dip I'd be sad etc and so didn't want the extra stress especially when ttc :)

Hmm yours sounds strange, I guess sadly nothing you can do but wait a few more days and see what happens (easier said than done)! Yeah mine is pretty much just when wiping too, and had cramps on 8dpo but they weren't like period ones felt a lot less intense.

Do you think you might test again over the next few days ?

TTCagain85 · 13/03/2023 16:39

@TTC53 I'm 14dpo. Usually LP 12-13days but cramping and lower temp today. That being said I had a really bad nights sleep and ended up in little ones bed.

How many dpo are you?

@Piglet34 do you know, thats so sensible as I'm feeling the same and think I will follow your lead on that!!

Yes so weird!I mean it wasn't the first wee of the day, but to get a big dollop and then spotting? What the hell??

See mine cramps were quite intense and I thought they were worse than normal AF ones.. It could be because I was so upset to think I was out this month though...

I want to test but I did a FRER last night as spotting was nothing in the AM and then non existent all day. And it was BFN. Stark white actually.. 😔

Worried to do another now.. xxx

Piglet34 · 13/03/2023 17:17

@Floralsandsmiles yeah I sometimes do have a lot in the morning, I feel like it must build up while your laid down and then all comes out 😅 don't know if that's true but is my theory!

I feel the same about testing just so scared to see a bfn (although realistically I know I have to find out the truth in the next few days anyway as AF could show!) Im now wondering whether to wait until weds 13dpo hmmm tricky

Freya8 · 13/03/2023 17:23

Ive deliberately not bought anymore preg tests to stop me testing 🤣 also done that alter the pic of the bfn this morn an i see the faint line but my hubby most def cant

Haha @Piglet34 that could be true! It could all build up while you are asleep 😴 🤣

Aww hun, its so hard isn't it! Maybe wait if you're worried to get a BFN? I'm sorry and I have my fingers crossed for you and thinking of you xxxx

Piglet34 · 13/03/2023 20:43

Aw thanks @Floralsandsmiles 🥰 really hoping you get your bfp soon too ✨ think it just guna be a case of wait and see what mood I'm in the morn ! Xxx
