Hi girls,

Just wondered... I'm 8dpo and this is the first time ive really check cervical mucus and cervix position... I've had many weird things like hot flashes and cramps and leg pain etc....

But the CM is confusing me... I should be due my period in 6/7 days and I'm super super wet with CM today... I've not really had any dry day at all but today is loads and milky but thin.... Any clues on this??
My cervix is also super high and soft... No idea about that either 😂

Does anyone else have lots of CM the whole cycle or do you usually dry up if period is due?

Thanks

You have quite typical pregnancy signs but it is not guaranteed from them. I have a lot of cm all the way up until my period every month x

Kellyaust · 25/06/2023 19:38

@Ttcmumma yes I do... But like you said its not a guarantee... I wish I could remember how I felt with previous pregnancies but I just can't 😂

So it can be normal to have lots of CM all the way through? I think I need admitting to an asylum so I can't use Google 😂

@Kellyaust yeah unless I'm an abnormal person 🤣 sometimes my cm is worse the week leading up to period than it is around ovulation! I've concieved 3 times in the past so I must be reasonably fertile and never had any known issues.

Oh dw I think most of us on the TTC journey need admitting to an asylum 🤣

Kellyaust · 25/06/2023 20:28

@Ttcmumma 😂😂 well thank you for your reply, I wish I'd take note on the past of what my cm is like through my cycle but at least I have this month so if I'm not pregnant I know for next time haha

Well 5 mins after I took this I started to bleed 🤦‍♀️ looks like I'm out, first period since mmc so it's come over 1 week sooner than I thought

OP posts:
Ttcmumma · 26/06/2023 09:34

@Kellyaust how heavy is it? See how long it lasts too you never know could be implantation bleed.

So sorry about your MMC, how far along were you? I had one in January too at 14 weeks. Took 5 weeks to get my first period x

Kellyaust · 26/06/2023 09:52

@Ttcmumma it was just went I wiped there's been nothing since but I just feel like it's af 😪

We were at the dating scan day... I started brown discharge and pain, when they scanned my sac was 9 weeks and baby was 6 weeks 💔 so sorry about yours too it's awful... I bled til 6th june and ovulated on 18th 🤷‍♀️

@Kellyaust that's so sad to hear. The MMC may have thrown your cycle off a bit but your period being a whole week early sounds alot like potential implantation to me. Has your cervix lowered and opened? That usually happens for period whereas if it's implantation it may still be high and closed. I guess no way of knowing until you can test/if the flow gets heavy and for more than a few days. Still got 🤞 for you x

Kellyaust · 26/06/2023 10:17

@Ttcmumma thank you, no my cervix is still very high and when I felt it there was no blood on my finger. Think all I can do it wait isn't it but I do have a lot of cramping 😪

OP posts:
Twocatstwodogs · 26/06/2023 10:56

@Kellyaust things are so similar for me. I'm 8DPO for the first time after a mmc in May with a D&C at the end of May. I have very similar cramping to period now too, high firms cervix but no bleeding yet. From memory I had implantation bleeding at 8 dpo for my previous pregnancies so you could well be implanting espcially as your cervix is high too, good signs. Crossing everything for you, baby dust to you x

Ttcmumma · 26/06/2023 12:13

@Kellyaust cramping is common in early pregnancy anyway! To me I sounds hopeful this is your month 🤞

Kellyaust · 26/06/2023 14:00

@Twocatstwodogs thank you, sorry for your loss, I had medical management and last week they have me a re scan after I ovulated, showed some clots still in there which they weren't worried about but now thinking about it that could be what's causing me these issues now 🤷‍♀️ baby dust coming your way too 🤞

OP posts:
Kellyaust · 26/06/2023 14:02

@Ttcmumma still no more blood yet, just went into town with my husband n I've had to come home I feel shocking!! Legs hurt like I've ran a marathon and very dizzy and I've got a pad on n said I need to go toilet I feel really wet... Nothing there. I wish it would just hurry up if it's coming 😕

Different contrasts on the pics... There's something but could be false

BFN on CB early test this morning. Still no more bleeding 🤦‍♀️😪

OP posts:
Twocatstwodogs · 27/06/2023 11:34

@Kellyaust me too, hang in there, it's still early days. I think I see something in your contrast pic but give it time. I was really thinking I might see something today but it's still only 9dpo and v early to be fair. Trying not to test multiple times a day if I can help it. Thinking of you.
I only had a pos test for my last pregnancy at 10dpo and the one before when I had my son was 11 dpo so all hope is not lost.....

Kellyaust · 27/06/2023 14:17

@Twocatstwodogs thank you I will try... I feel so sore like I've been punched from the inside in my uterus, also started with yellow colour cm... No smell of anything.... So strange this 🤦‍♀️

When will you test again?

OP posts:
Twocatstwodogs · 28/06/2023 06:23

Oh no @Kellyaust sounds so painful. Hope you’re ok. I resisted testing again until this morning but still a BFN for me. AF due tomorrow, trying not to lose hope but isn’t easy. Positive vibes for you

Kellyaust · 30/06/2023 09:15

Bfn 12dpo for me is definitely out, had a little cry this morning but fingers crossed for next cycle just hope af hurrys up now 💔

OP posts:
Twocatstwodogs · 30/06/2023 09:18

@Kellyaust oh no, sorry, it's just rubbish isn't it, me too, no AF yet, just want it to come now and very BFN this morning. Exhausted for some reason suddenly as well, might be the realisation I'm definitely out. Fingers crossed for you

Kellyaust · 30/06/2023 10:08

@Twocatstwodogs I've had so many symptoms but I can also feel af about to arrive now so maybe it's our minds and all the worry 😪

OP posts:
Twocatstwodogs · 30/06/2023 11:14

@Kellyaust me too, it's so horrible isn't it. Hope you're ok x

Kellyaust · 30/06/2023 11:50
