If I've forgotten anybody I'm really sorry and please tag them...

For all of us who have recently got BFPs, all of those still trying and for all the lovely updates about new arrivals let's hope this lucky thread continues for us all 🙏🌈💝 xx

@Jadeypie I hope your bloods go well today, keeping everything crossed!

No AF yet for me but I've had a stressful week so it'll prob be late just to add to the stress 🙃 haha.

@Paws4thought off to get them done soon not feeling hopeful. Had a bit of blood before after going for a bowel movement so it's freaked me out xx

Ohhh I'm keeping my fingers crossed xxx

Sorry for tmi xxx

@Jadeypie will they give you results straight away? Oh no, if it was only a little hopefully all OK 🤞

@Paws4thought yeh only took them a hour on wed, suppose just have to wait and see. Going to take myself off to the shops to take my mind off waiting for the call spend some money haha xx

So unfortunately my levels have dropped right down so this little bean wasn't ready to stick around . I'm gutted xx

@Jadeypie keeping everything crossed for you with your results 🙏 x

@Paws4thought hope you're ok.. if it does turn out that the test was a false positive hopefully AF arrives for you soon so you can move on to next cycle x

Oh @Jadeypie I'm so sorry I think I posted at the same time. That's so shit I'm so sorry 😔 xx

@Jadeypie I'm so sorry!! Ttc is so cruel, hopefully this one will have your body prepared for next month and a sticky bean xx

@Sez281 yeah i hope if I'm not pregnant my body doesn't keep me waiting around, I'll test tomo morn if no show by then :)

@Jadeypie sorry to hear that. Are you able to re book your appointments, at least get back on the the track you were on?
@Paws4thought how you getting on?

We always said after the ectopic that we would give it one more go so that's it for me now I admire women who can go through this multiple times but I have my little miracle and I feel like he's all I need now I tried for him twice and I just couldn't go through this again x

@Jadeypie I'm so sorry to hear your update. Ttc can be such a cruel journey. Sending you a big hug. Glad you have your little miracle to cuddle tight 💗

@Paws4thought hope you get some clarity soon so you're not in limbo too long. 🩷

@xxcxdonxx congrats on the house. Good you've had your official diagnosis now too. Hopefully means appropriate measures can be put in place if you decide to go again. 💕

@Jadeypie enjoy your cuddles with your little one 💕

@Supertrooper101 still no af yet, I've had lower back ache most the day though so that might mean I'll come on tomorrow, if not I'll test with fmu.

I totally get it, it's just so awful when you get your hopes up a little bit only to have them dashed😔. You are so lucky to have your little lad and like everyone says give him an extra cuddle tonight 🩵 .. something was obviously working for your whether it was the drugs or health kick so try to take some heart in that should you decide to try again xx

Af arrived this morning so onto the next for me... so deflating!

So sorry to hear that @Paws4thought 😔 I'm glad it wasn't dragged out too much for you xx

Aw sorry to hear that. It's especially tough on a month when you've felt hopeful. New cycle, fresh start! 💕 Sending hugs x

I’m so sorry @Jadeypie , it’s incredibly cruel to have that hope and then it’s taken away. You really have done everything that you possibly could to make it work.
Sending you so much love xx

@Paws4thought it really is deflating, especially when you felt a glimmer of hope for this month. I’m sorry xx

Hi all, hope everyone is doing okay this month and thinking of everyone on this journey too! I am so confused this month (why is this whole TTC journey so difficult) so I had quite a lot of dark brown blood for 5 days prior to my period which is unusual, I then started my period a day later and the first day of my period it seemed usual quite heavy red blood but now the second day seems strange, it's quite light, very light pink every now and then but then also has been brown today too. I'm really not sure whether I should take a test or just trust this absolutely can't be implantation bleeding and it is just a strange period. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Hi @Happysoul111 I totally agree the ttc journey is awful as many of us on this thread can confirm!
We started this thread 18 months ago in May 2023 after many of us had MMCs and losses, fortunately some ladies have gone on to have healthy babies, some of us have got our BFPs and some are still waiting.. with regards to your earlier question I've been on high dose folic acid and it's never affected any of my previous cycles.. in relation to the odd period that you're having I think we do tend to over analyse everything whether it's symptom spotting in the tww or when AF arrives praying that it's implantation... of course there's still a small chance that if might be but the only way you'll know is to test.. best of luck xx

Hey @Happysoul111 , totally agree that TTC journey is a minefield!

I can often have brown blood from about a week after ovulation to the run up to my period. Ive had this and it’s turned in to my
period and times when its stopped and it’s turned out I’ve been pregnant. I’ve only ever had one clear experience of implantation bleeding and it was bright red bleeding that I knew was too early to be my period. So it’s all been a bit of a mixed bag really, as Sez says, that only way to know for sure is to test. How has it been overnight?

@Sez281 @xxcxdonxx hi both, thank you for your messages. Hope you are both doing okay. it's so strange my period is just not usually like this at all. I have now practically stopped bleeding as it's super super light an there is nothing much there which will mean my period has only lasted 2 days. I want to test but I just know it'll show negative but iv also had cramps and lower back pain too. I also had really tender breasts more than usual before this period but that seems to have gone. So yes don't think there is anything to it perhaps.

Feeling a little better today, thanks for your kind words, planning to call gp tomorrow as we've been trying for over a year now and 6 months since last mc, any ideas on what I can ask them to do? I'm fully expecting them to say as I've got pregnant although unsuccessful that they won't look into it until it's been a year of nothing but its worth a try!

You are quite right to @Paws4thought and see what they suggest. I’m not really clued up on what you could ask for though, I’m sure some of the other ladies will offer better advice.
Has your partner had any testing done? How are you cycles normally? When I spoke to the consultant at recurring miscarriage and explained the spotting pre period, that’s when she agreed to give progesterone. Wondering if it’s worth going down that route?
Did anything else come back from the bloods you had taken a while ago? If i’m remembering correctly, they were all in the ‘normal’ range? x

@Paws4thought from what i have learnt on here, is that everyone is treated different depending on where there from, which is wrong. Am with @xxcxdonxx , i think those pesasaries (easy spelt wrong lol ) would help.you.. most say they have to follow the book and refer only after a year. Others av seen it be 6mths. I would ask for test for both of you, if they say no, see another dr to confirm that. Just keep pestering. Its such hard work with some of them. Have you looked at the supp lists from it starts with the egg?
