CD1 - Anyone else?

[rosecbrm]

Hello all,

A new cycle unfortunately started for me today. I really thought last cycle was going to be the one but unfortunately not the case and AF has shown her ugly face!

I had an early miscarriage in early September and this was the first cycle back TTC #1

Just wondering if anyone wants to join on the journey this month - always nice to be able to speak to people in the same situation!

Baby dust to all x

@MaryHua very true! Last time I was pregnant I did have spotting and didn't get my BFP until 12/13 dpo, so not ALL hope is lost.. but I do usually spot before af so it's hard!

Ahh getting closer. When will you test? X

@rosecbrm well then it really could be either implantation bleeding or pre-AF. Everything crossed for IB!

I hope to be strict with myself and not test until 14 days... so 6th December! But I'll report back if I cave!

@MaryHua keeping everything crossed for you!!

BFN again today, still light pink spotting! X

13dpo for me, spotting stopped last night and literally have nothing this morning! Not sure what's going on, cramps have stopped too 😅 but I'm sure af will be here later today or tomorrow...

Hope everyone's ok x

@rosecbrm ooh 😮 sounds like a BFP could be possible?! Did you test this morning too?
When does AF normally arrive for you?

6DPO for me now. Nothing to report really, except nausea in the evenings for the past 3 evenings but I'm not sure if that's related as it is so early on. I think my hormones are all over the place at present.

@MaryHua yes pretty sure BFN!

Was due on between yesterday and tomorrow so we'll see I guess. I imagine for 13 dpo something should be showing!

Ahh exciting times for you, not long!! X

@rosecbrm
Yeah, I understand. It's so frustrating isn't it, being stuck in that limbo. I know some who didn't get a BFP until CD 15/16, but I don't want to build hopes up either.
But I hope you're ok if/when AF arrives and that you have something nice planned x

@MaryHua thank you🤍

I've kind of accepted I'm out this month and ready for a new cycle! Please keep us updated with yours though xx

@rosecbrm
Will do. I feel I've already started to symptom spot now at 6DPO. Why do I always do this?
I was fine for the first week!

It's only because I have bouts of bad nausea which I never usually experience... ever. Last time I was ever sick was when I was 8 years old (touch wood!)

But now I'm obsessing over it a little even though I know realistically that prior to 6DPO is virtually impossible to have pregnancy symptoms.

How about you... any sign of AF? X

@MaryHua I do the exact same! Start off so calm and then before you know it you're googling every symptom haha!

At least you haven't got TOO much longer to wait!

Nope, absolutely no sign of AF so not sure what's happening! My luteal phase is never usually this long.. see what tomorrow brings! X

Had what I can only assume is a really bad evap (although dried pink) on an IC test! But confusing as I haven't had that before on any of the tests I've done so far! What a confusing time 😭

Also got bad lower backache! Saying all of this I bet AF shows in the morning 😂

@rosecbrm omg really?! Was the line there within the 3 minutes since testing? Or did you see it after 10 mins?
Oh I'm trying not to get too overly excited for you.... keep us posted!

@MaryHua yeah it was over ten minutes so defo invalid!!

Just never had that with these tests! Will let you know in the morning if AF doesn't arrive before then 😂

As predicted AF has arrived!

Keep us updated with your cycle @MaryHua x

@rosecbrm
Sorry to hear! Hope you're alright. Be kind to yourself today, and treat yourself to something nice like a glass of wine or a hot bath.
I'll keep you posted in the next few days. I've got a stinking head cold at the moment which is actually already proving to be a nice distraction from TTC!

@MaryHua thank you! I surprisingly feel ok, I've decided this cycle I'm not gonna test ovulation and just see what happens.

Oh nooo, bloody typical! Hope you feel better soon xx

Sorry to hear that @rosecbrm , hope you're doing okay🤍. We're taking a break this month for various reasons so not tracking any ovulation or anything either. Not even going to open the Flo app!

@Biscuitsarelife1 thank you! Hope you are okay too.

I just don't want the stress of it this month and figured what difference is a month going to make really! Atleast we have Xmas etc to keep us busy 😊 x

I'm all good thank you! We've got a lot going on and a house move hopefully in the next couple of weeks along with various Christmas celebrations so I'm happy to skip this month

Wishing you both all the best for your breaks, enjoy the festive season!
@Biscuitsarelife1 best of luck for the move! That's enough to contend with for one month. 😁

How are you both getting on @MaryHua @Biscuitsarelife1

CD3 for me! X

Hiya @rosecbrm ! 😄 thanks for checking in!
I'm ok, at the panicky stage of my 2WW now, 9DPO. Trying to hold out and not dwell, until Wednesday next week which would be 14DPO. Not sure when to expect AF as it varies between 12DPO and 16DPO each month which is infuriating.

How are you keeping? X

@MaryHua Ahh exciting that you're getting closer!

Yes all good here thanks! X

All good here too thank you ladies! Away for the weekend with DH and it just feels nice to be having a break from trying this month

@Biscuitsarelife1 sounds lovely! Hope you're having a great time!

@MaryHua any updates?
