But its upto everyone if they want a WhatsApp! Xx

I’m happy for either.

I feel so nauseous and if this is pregnancy I don’t miss this sicky feeling.

fingers crossed for us all! 🙌🏽 If not this cycle but onto the next

I’ve requested too!

Well an update on AF who is once again behaving funkily.

Rang the GP and asked for a second opinion since I’d taken photos etc of the unusual nature of this month’s cycle.

Going in next Thursday for a pelvic exam, additional smears, and to have a blood test.

Turns out brown bleeding and clots is not normal.

I'm a bit emotional but I'm ok. I've been into the doctors where they told me what they've suspected but I have to wait for a scan, they're referring me apparently

LuceNumberTwo · 05/01/2024 19:26

@H938 Aww no! I don't want you to miss out.. Could you do WhatsApp? X

Wanderingthroughparenthood · 05/01/2024 19:38

Hey all, late comer to the chat...! So we have been not trying but not not trying.. and this month I am pretty much on exactly the same cycle as @starryx @KittyFantastica (keeping fingers crossed for everyone).

I had some cramps and some light spotting earlier this week which is totally abnormal for me. We DTD on the 25th and 26th which is approx when I was due to be ovulating.. trying to hold off testing but reading this thread has made me realise how quietly excited I am....

I'm 37btw, would be first baby...

Keeping everything crossed for you! Do you know how many DPO you'd be now?

It's so lovely to see a few people in the exact same timeframe. I always think of so many questions and don't have anyone else I can take them to yet.

2andadog · 05/01/2024 20:20

Thank you.

Hmm around 9-11 I think, I’m not sure as not been tracking my ovulation but it would be around Christmas Day give or take a day or so.

Keeping fingers crossed for you!

Fully expecting to come on my period any day but equally have had a very strong reaction to the smell of vinegar today!!

Peonies94 · 05/01/2024 21:23

@Newmumwales id save wee for a few hours, do a cheapie and if a line shows up within time, do the Frer! They are my favourite tests for accurate results!

Peonies94 · 05/01/2024 21:26

@Newmumwales sprry this only just posted from this afternoon due to poor internet! 8DPO is really early to have a positive anyways! I’d wait a couple of days 🤞🏻

I think my TTC journey have been rumbled a little more :(

Can't remember if I mentioned previously but I have endometriosis. I had an operation in Nov 2021 to remove it behind my uterus, bladder and on my bowel. I was told that due to where it was and not being on my ovaries, I should be ok to have children, but with where it was on my uterus I had a higher chance on miscarriage. But we're determined to have our dream baby.

My ovulation pain has been horrendous this month. It's always a little painful but today I've been in agony, killer back pain, cramping, feeling sick, just as my LH has been peaking so I called 111 and they said I need to go see a doctor.

They suspect the endometriosis has spread to a kidney so are sending me for a scan. I'm so scared. We're of course going to keep trying but I am terrified that this means it's got worse than I realise in its usual areas.

Hi, I'm a stage 4 endo plus die sufferer, I had op in Jan 2021. My endo was everywhere. I lost a fallopian tube.
The best thing I can recommend is caster oil packs. It helped me so much before my opp, and now that I'm trying to get pregnant, I believe it helps keep the endo in check. You can only do them on certain days, though, if you're trying to get pregnant.
I did get pregnant but unfortunately had a cp.
Good luck with everything ❤️

I’d say too heavy for implantation. Sorry! X

BiscuitDreams · 06/01/2024 07:54

Yeah, I think it is too heavy for implantation I'm afraid. I've never had implantation bleeding but I've googled it enough so I think it is supposed to be quite light and pink? Sorry. 😕

SLLR · 06/01/2024 08:01

Yeah I think it’s too heavy for implantation as well but not sure why it’s happening as
never had this before on my period. Never had 2 days of brown streaks when wiping as well before..

@H938 We’ve not managed it everyday, we should have done it last night but we were both exhausted after a busy day. I had another flashing face this morning so still no peak. I did an OPK at the same time (FMU) and it was really low at 0.17 so going to do another early this afternoon. We’ve got a pretty chilled day today so hopefully will have some energy tonight 😅

Wanderingthroughparenthood · 06/01/2024 11:17

Hi all just messaging again for anyone who may have missed it. We’ve started a TTC WhatsApp and there will be a seperate pregnancy chat within it for when the time comes.
