2023 TTC 35+ Part 6

[VixFromThe6ix]

New thread as the other one ran out of space

@JC084 I have had the same this cycle. 2 days of intermittent pink creamy discharge when I’ve wiped, and then proper (albeit light flow) blood today (again only when I’ve wiped, nothing on the pad). I didn’t do a test this month.

But implantation can also be more of a pink/brown discharge, so difficult to say either way. Im sorry that you’ve had this confusion.

@Khanga27 thank you. Sorry to hear you're having the same. It's very confusing and I wish AF would either come and I can just get on with the next cycle or I get some clear results

@JC084 you sound as confused as me. I've not had any signs of blood at all. A bit of cramping on and off overnight the last 2 nights but nothing through the day at all. I've not tested again since last week as surely 3 tests can't be wrong? I'm still tired but I've got a cold at the moment so most likely that. I never had any other signs last week.

@RoseH36 it's draining isn't it. Fingers crossed we both get some answers soon x

@JC084 certainly is! Did your last one go negative this quickly? That's the thing with mine as I only tested the once so no idea how long it takes from going to negative to bleeding. I know it came on really quickly after a day of backache and cramping.

Hi all! New to the thread. Been TTC since feb. I’m due on tomorrow. Haven’t taken any pregnancy tests yet. Had pink spotting on and off the last 5 days which is much longer than I normally spot for. I usually only spot for 2-3 days max. Fingers crossed this month is our month 🤞🏻

@RoseH36 last time I found out about 11dpo and then had about 1 week of thinking all was ok. Then tests started getting lighter (yep, I kept testing...) and about 1 1/2 weeks after finding out, I started bleeding.
This time round I didn't even get the darker lines before they got more faint

@luc243 fingers crossed! Keep us posted

@JC084 about a similar time frame to me then. But like you with them being so light this time I'm hoping it won't take as long to start bleeding.

Ladies I’m so sorry. I still can’t get over the odds of this catching all three of you at the same time. Really hoping that things become definite and allow you all to move forward as soon as possible x

@Bumblebee413 I'm quietly confident there's just been some dodgy tests taken at the wrong time with too high hcg limits on them and definite positives will appear for everyone soon 🤞🏻

That would just be so wonderful x

@Bumblebee413 it's just so weird isn't it? I went really light headed for a few hours yesterday but earing something sugary seemed to help. Then got cramping overnight again. Today I have the lightest pink when I wipe so looks like things are finally starting.

I usually start my period during the night for some reason, and expected to be disheartened to wake up to it this morning but nothing yet. Literally got everything crossed. Going to test later this afternoon if I've still not started. I haven't ever even got close to taking a pregnancy test during this whole year of TTC as I've always started my period right on time. So hard to not get invested in thinking you are pregnant each month.

Sending you so much luck and baby dust@luc243

Really hope it goes as well as it can today @worldwidetravel2017 x

Despite using OPKs I have no idea if or when I ovulated as I don’t know that I ever got a really clear peak. However, there is a weird peace in knowing that the period where I can do anything about the outcome has passed. We gave it a good go. Now to take vitamins, work on eating healthily and start symptom spotting like an absolute loon.. 🤪

Well, im definitely out. Definitely a chemical unfortunately.
But, I'm ok and will just focus on the next cycle now. Disappointing but going to try and not worry too much.
Wishing you all lots of luck and baby dust ✨
I will keep you posted on my journey too!

Thank you
Managed last nights colonoscopy prep

Tmi but was sick this am after 2nd lot

Pretty sure its empty there though

Hope to be out of hosp by 4 /5 pm

Looking forward to a nice dinner

Have you tried the 3 gbp ovulation tests off Amazon?
I find them helpful/ reliable

Good luck // bon chance

I bet you’re planning a delicious dinner!

Well, I don’t think I’ve helped the situation this month. I used Boots OPKs until they ran out, then switched to premom. It didn’t really feel worth getting the app at that point because I was halfway through my fertile period. But definitely downloading it for next month!

Tommys baby charity ovulation calculator tends to be good

@Bumblebee413 what vitamins are you taking? I'm on my 4th month of proceive (tablets not the sachets) but can't justify the cost anymore so once these run out I want to change.

@JC084 so sorry to hear that. At least you have your answer now though. Fingers crossed for our next cycles.

@worldwidetravel2017 hope the next few hours don't drag too much for you.

Thank you
Just waiting
Havent had it yet

Had the colonoscopy - more bowel polyps removed - hhhm
Was a different guy doing the procedure.
But the guy that did the last colonoscopy 6 months ago rang me last week & said there shouldnt be any polyps - as he removed 3 six months ago..
( and they apparently dont grow that quick hhhm )

Nurse said today it was guna be site check - ie where they removed the biggest 1 of 3 from last time..

But as more polyps were found
And as they always remove them..
Had today's 2 taken out

Thankfully they were small

Awaiting biopsies from them...

Hhhm

Apparently @ least one was near liver

(Which is a big area of concern)

I have a writtren report
& will chase consultants secretary in 2 weeks 4 biopsy results

Back at hosp Thursday am
4 gastroscopy
( they are concerned re my upper gi as it flagged some potentially bad stuff up in ct scan last month )

Tomorrow = i find out liver mri private results

Have a nice evening all
