I got some brown + pink CM, pretty constant tho so im convinced it’s the beginning of my AF. 😞😞😞

PADonk · 14/10/2023 14:27

@BB78910 ah mate I’m so sorry, I hope you manage to enjoy your trip still and get yourself on the wine. Flights always mess up my system so any chance it’s that? Sending loads of hugs ❤️

@cheeseplease3 ah thank you - I’ve had some spotting and a previous mc so I’m still struggling to believe it might stick. Got an early scan booked next Tues so if that goes ok I’m hoping I’ll be about to let up a bit in terms of the constant knicker checking / intrusive thoughts xx

@PADonk thanks, just have this feeling of defeat. Why am I even praying that it stops.
hoping your scan goes well on tues!!

Bl1991 · 15/10/2023 08:37

@BB78910 how’re you doing this morning? Keeping everything crossed it’s stayed at bay for you!

I’m 8DPO today and I know it’s still very early but BFN this morning despite me staring at it under a light for 10 minutes, it really does make you crazy doesn’t it!

My BBs have felt a little sore over the past few days and yesterday I had some jelly like CM when checking (not huge amounts) but temp has taken a dip again today to 36.53 (still above cover line but it’s the second day of dips which makes me feel like it’s following its usual pattern).

Just praying for some more symptoms today as that always gives me hope!

good luck all!

Newbie here 👋🏼 TTC baby #1 & cycle #1 I’m 3DPO. Very new to all of this but have been using the CB digital ovulation tests & also tracking BBT. Have had 3 temp rises since ovulation. Cervix is high & open/soft & have white CM…from what I have read on the thousands of threads is that this is looking like pregnancy symptoms but I may just be being over optimistic as it is my first cycle at 37 years old after being on the pill since I was a teen! Also I had lower back ache on 2DPO & nipples are still sore. Really hoping but no idea 🤷🏻‍♀️

Catson · 15/10/2023 18:03

Welcome @JulyT, I would say it is super early for pregnancy symptoms at 2-3dpo, but anything is possible. When are you expecting AF? Hope the tww passes quickly for you

JulyT · 15/10/2023 19:12

@Catson thank you 😊 AF due on the 26th as my cycle is 32 days…but I have only had 1 cycle & I ovulated on CD21 of 32 day cycle & then on this cycle I ovulated on CD19 so this cycle may be shorter. Where are you in your cycle?

Bl1991 · 15/10/2023 19:52

Welcome @JulyT! Looking forward to keeping you company on the board whilst you wait although it can feel like the longest two weeks ever!

I think I’ve maybe had a speck of implantation bleeding this evening and have been getting hot flashes all evening/afternoon along with itchy eyes (which I’ve read can be from progesterone - has anyone else experienced either of these as I don’t remember it with my first!)

PADonk · 16/10/2023 08:20

Morning all, and welcome @JulyT! as @Catson says you’ll be too early for pregnancy symptoms but I definitely think there are conception signs so got everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

After a few days of no brown spotting for me it came back yesterday and then, just before bed, I got some red which made for an awful nights sleep. Seems to have disappeared again this morning but it’s just catapulted me right back into a catastrophising anxious mess - need this week to go quickly so I can get to the 6 week scan and just get a sense of if anything’s actually wrong 😓

Thanks for the welcomes @PADonk @Catson @Bl1991 🫶🏼 I had a stabbing pain in my left ovary this morning 4DPO & temp stayed high. Have sneezed a couple of times this morning & I’m feeling a bit stuffed up but I’m probably just getting a cold! Lol. Grasping at straws with the symptoms. I am inputting my BBT into fertility friend, can anyone tell me what the luteal line is for please?

HRHXO · 16/10/2023 09:27

Morning ladies, 12dpo today and not even tested. I had my bfp so strong and clear with my son that when I got bfn yesterday I just assumed I am out. We shall see if AF arrives on Wednesday/Thursday. Anyone else feel out after bfn?

Catson · 16/10/2023 14:12

Hi @HRHXO I am the same as you. BFN so just waiting for the inevitable so we can start again

HRHXO · 16/10/2023 15:05

@Catson ah so sorry to hear that. I'm gutted tbh I really thought we had a good chance this cycle. Oh well, onto the next one we go! Hopefully November is our month!

Doveylc · 17/10/2023 07:37

Hi everyone again! Period due tomorrow/Thursdays. Tested earlier and bfn. I really need to stop with the symptom spotting. As my husband says we try again.

@HRHXO sending you a hug.

HRHXO · 17/10/2023 08:09

@Doveylc thank you 💐

I'm defo out this month my cramps just feel like af now and I'm due tomorrow or Thursday. We go again!

Doveylc · 17/10/2023 09:10

@HRHXO Same over here. Onto November we go! Here on this journey right beside you xx

BB78910 · 18/10/2023 09:15

Hey everyone! Sorry I’ve been preoccupied with family etc.
@PADonk could you not call the EPAU or go via A&E to get referred there? Red would definitely make them give you a referral so you don’t have to wait for the scan.
ive just been brown spotting, day 5 now and no sign of AF but last night I had the worst cramps, back and front and radiating down my legs - it woke me up at 4am. Fully expected AF to come in full swing this morning but nothings changed. I also rarely cramp when I’m on as well so it was well out of character

PADonk · 18/10/2023 09:24

@BB78910 how many dpo are you now? After reading everything there is to know on brown spotting it often is a good sign!

I rang EPU and they just said the same - keep an eye and call if it gets heavier. Woke up this morning and it was like my period had arrived, with proper blood, so rang them again and they’ve agreed to see me later this morning and take bloods. There’s not been any since (over 2 hours) and I don’t have cramp so still trying to cling on to some hope but tbh I’d rather just know now if it is bad news, the uncertainty and anxiety is driving me mad. Keep fingers crossed for me please 🙏🏼

@Catson @Doveylc @HRHXO sorry to hear that and best of luck for next cycle 🤞🏼

OP posts:
Catson · 18/10/2023 10:24

@HRHXO @Doveylc I'm the same as you, I just know that AF is on the way. Didn't bother wasting a test this morning either.
@PADonk I hope everything goes ok with you

HRHXO · 18/10/2023 10:51

@Catson period day 2 and there's no denying it now. Getting everything prepared for the next cycle now...

@PADonk hope you're okay!

PADonk · 18/10/2023 13:19

@Catson @HRHXO thanks girls - just got out but not much more in terms of certainty. My cervix is still closed but there’s quite a lot of blood so they say inconclusive. They took my bloods and have booked me back in for Friday to see if my hcg goes up or down, so at least we’ll hopefully know by then at the latest. Hope you’re both treating yourself xx

OP posts:
BB78910 · 18/10/2023 13:56

@PADonk ahh I’m sorry - I can imagine what torture you’re going through. I had so much back and forth with EPAU as well. At least they’re doing your bloods instead of telling you to wait.

@Catson @HRHXO sorry you’re out. This cycle feels like it’s been unlucky for all of us

Doveylc · 18/10/2023 15:55

Sorry to read about everyone. It sucks.

No sign of period yet but negative test. Clinging on to some hope but I know that is stupid!

HRHXO · 18/10/2023 16:18

@PADonk so sorry you didn't get any real answers today, fingers crossed all turns out fine 💐

@BB78910 I'm not normally this superstitious but October has had a lot going on astrologically speaking and a Friday 13th and it's almost eclipse season so if I really have to blame something other than chance/luck I'm blaming the stars lol.

Here's hoping November is luckier!

Bl1991 · 18/10/2023 18:00

@PADonk oh no, sorry to hear this! Will keep everything crossed for the next cycle for you!

I tested again this morning and afternoon but BFN I think - I did however have the ‘knitting needle’ stabbing right of my belly button last night that some people talk about it and my boobs are feeling very different to PMS soreness today (like they hurt behind the nipple?)

I have also noticed the last few days I’ve been able to get some colostrum out of one nipple (not breast fed for 2.5 years, not sure if this is normal? Have read people can have this before bfps but can also indicate prolactin being too high).

I do definitely feel different today so hoping that last night was implantation at 10dpo and it’s just too soon to show on tests yet!

gl all! X
