Morning, I'm 9dpo and this morning I had this big glob of what I can only describe as snot like cm 😳
No symptoms as such though otherwise..
Has anyone else experienced this?

Mamamia1992 · 30/08/2024 09:39

@esunny have you retested this morn? I thiiiink I can see a lil shadow on your test yesterday but hopefully today's would be clearer!
I used one this morn and it's stark white negative so yours looks very hopeful! I did however just have a tiny bit of pink spotting so hoping it's implantation and not AF coming...

LuluGilmore · 30/08/2024 12:04

I'm so 50/50 on if the slight cramps and some light blood in the CM is implantation or AF arriving 😫have ordered some tests but maybe I should just wait

Still early days! Fingers crossed.

I just did a short drive (me driving) and feel quite nauseous!! But it’s so hard to know what’s in my head, or even to remember if it’s normal for me to sometimes feel sick at this point in my cycle. No sore boobs which I swear I normally get by now.

How’s everyone else doing?

Hi everyone, I’m 5 dpo and sorry but I just want to download my feelings somewhere.
I was thinking about the thread for May 25 babies! I should have been May 24 if it wasn’t for my MMC. If I get a positive this month I could join the May 25 thread but I rather expect I won’t 😫. One Chemical since then and I have come to think a few things…

  1. Likely I will conceive for a third time.
  2. When I do I have a good chance of miscarrying again anyway (think I may have immune issues but yet to find out).
  3. when I conceive I will be pleased but not overjoyed, since my experiences have taken away any chance of feeling excited about a positive test and I will continue to feel pretty stressed up to and just past a 20 week scan I suspect.
  4. Sadly, I have lost my faith in God. I wasn’t big in this, but…
  5. I just want the darkness to lift.

Sorry for the rant. Good luck to all hopefuls.

@BabyH01 cycle twins, i recognise your username off a ttc thread! I'm testing over the weekend with the clearblue early tests and then planning on buying cheapies at around 13/14dpo. At the moment I have a few things that make me feel pregnant but I may just be looking too deep.

You show greater restraint than me! Oo what are your symptoms?

I think I’m out. 3 of my last 4 cycles have been 25 days which is today (the other was 28) and although I don’t feel like my period is starting today I also feel that I would be getting a hint of a line of the 10mg tests by now. Last time I had a very faint line on frer tests on 10dpo so hoping I’m just being negative and maybe it would come tomorrow but also trying not to get my hopes up too much!

CosmicLove · 30/08/2024 19:13

@Carportforme I'm so sorry for your losses. I also had a MMC in April and it's beyond devastating. I'm sorry it's not happening quickly for you. It will happen. I hope this is your month and if it's not, I hope it is really soon. Take care xx

@CosmicLove, thank you so much for your kind words and very sorry that you also have suffered the dreaded MMC. There are a lot of us unfortunately, or so it would seem.
I hope things are going OK for you. Hopefully we will all have our rainbows soon

Goodness, I am so sorry to hear your experience . I missed your post earlier when I replied and have just read your post now. I hope you are okay.

Have you had any support/guidance from your gp? A close friend was referred after 2 miscarriages and with the support/medical intervention from Tommys was successful with her 3rd pregnancy.

1441x · 31/08/2024 07:44

@BabyH01 well your not out until AF shows up, lets hope she doesn't! Please keep me updated with your testing.
At the moment I have sore boobs, I literally never have sore boobs since breastfeeding my first I feel like my boobs are just numb. I've been having vivid dreams and my sense of smell is amazing at the moment, I had the strong smell symptom on my first too

Thank you. I needed to hear that this morning. Testing negative this morning but no period yet… feel like it’ll start today but we’ll see.
That sounds good to me!! I had sore boobs last time too, and have been giving them a squeeze every day hoping it starts to hurt but not yet 🤣

keep us updated too!! Feeling really positive for you.

holi2024 · 31/08/2024 10:39

@Carportforme I’m sorry to hear what you’ve been through, MMC are particularly cruel. I have found it hard to process mine in recent months.I hope you’re ok, sending a big virtual hug.

I am 9dpo and caved with a clear blue early result, which was a bfn :( this journey feels all consuming sometimes and I’m feeling impatient !

No need to apologise for a rant, this is the perfect place for it. I am so sorry to hear about your experience so far and can totally see that it would take the excitement out of a positive test.

I know it might not feel like it right now, but the way you’re feeling will change ❤️ you’ll get through this! We are here for you 🥰

waitingforbubbles · 31/08/2024 12:25

Caved and tested at 7/8dpo. What do we think?? 🤔 increased the contrast for the pic. I totally forgot to check it when I was taking washing out so this is the result after about 30 mins.

5DPO - anybody else?
CosmicLove · 31/08/2024 13:37

@waitingforbubbles there's definitely a line there but I'm not sure if it can be a reliable result if you checked it after half an hour. I've read a lot of people on here saying it's potentially not accurate if it's been left that long. Do you have more tests? If so, I'd be doing another. I always set my phone alarm for however long the waiting time is to make sure I don't go away and forget about it! Good luck xx

I think you’re right- next text white and clear as anything! What a rollercoaster!

Realise this is self inflicted. Just feeling soooo impatient.

LuluGilmore · 31/08/2024 14:27

So slightly more brown in the CM which at this point I think just means AF is coming a bit early. Though have been super sensitive to smells and tastes but I guess once you start thinking about it you notice more? For the chance of it being implantation bleeding I'll take a test tomorrow morning at 10 dpo but I think I'm probably out honestly.

CosmicLove · 31/08/2024 15:06

@waitingforbubbles sorry lovely. Remember you're not out till af arrives!

@LuluGilmore when is af due?

Xx

Lovelesslily · 31/08/2024 16:20

Afternoon all... hope I'm OK so slide into the thread. 7DPO today, cycle 6 TTC #1.

Got my Hertility results back a few days ago and everything is within range except very borderline hyperthyroid (2.7 when it says ideal for conception is below 2.5). So I think overall positive that nothing seems glaringly off.

I feel optimistic this month although also worried as I have had a short course of steroids prescribed after a bad allergic reaction last week... all finished now so I don't know what effect if any they might have had.

Will probably test from Monday 9DPO ... urge to get squinting at sticks again 😅

waitingforbubbles · 31/08/2024 20:59

Good luck to the Sunday testers!! 🍀

BabyH01, thank you for your kind response, Sometimes one just needs to rant! I am giving it another go with low dose aspirin and will see what happens. I am also waiting for a referral.

BabyH01 · 01/09/2024 09:45

What’s everyone’s tests looking like this morning?
Negative for me, hoping/feeling my period will start today and we can put an end to this waiting misery!

1441x · 01/09/2024 10:10

It's a faint but it's there. PLEASE stick!!
