AF arrived, meaning it was a short 26 day cycle, only 9 day LP.

I am getting worried about my periods being so short every other month, and such a short LP...
On a positive note next fertile window will be nearly done by Christmas, so we don't have to try literally on Christmas Day.

I had a big cry yesterday when I tested negative, so now having my period I just feel a bit 😕 numb.

On to cycle 5... next AF due 3rd of Jan, hope the start of the new year will bring us a baby.

Oh no @MyGardenDaisies I am so sorry to hear that! I wish that the new year bring you a new baby as you wrote 🙏🏼 and peace for the holidays coming

MyGardenDaisies · 07/12/2024 17:30

@CoolSummer89 @Marie1990x @pcbrb Thank you sweet strangers xx

I haven't been to the GP yet, as it's been every other month 9 days and other months 11 days, but now this up and down has been going on for 6 months, so I will speak about it and do tests with my gynaecologist in 4 weeks.

I hope all of you will get a BFP, if not, I'll see you at the January TTC thread 😘

I've been to the toilet 2x since and there was a bit more brown and then nothing at all, so I think it's spotting, and not yet period. I spotted last cycle 1 day but with light pink blood, so that's also a new thing.

Omg why is it so much easier to be a man 🥲😄

This might be tmi, but in my last two cycles, when I had spotting I controlled my cervix with my finger cause I am very impatient, and my finger came down with blood.. brown blood.. so I knew that even though I did not see much more spotting coming outside, AF was on its way.. and certainly it arrived the next day.. but I'm used to control my cervix cause I control it every day for charting purposes, so I don't know if you feel comfortable controlling or if you prefer to wait @MyGardenDaisies

MyGardenDaisies · 07/12/2024 18:15

@pcbrb I do think I am out as I am 9DPO and I did a FRER digital and it said negative, and apparently it's 99+% accurate.
I've also had cramping, so probably just spotting, but I am at least hopeful it's just spotting and there's at least 1-2 more LP days till full blown AF.

Anyways, I feel like I need a big hot mulled wine 🍷 ❤️‍🩹

MyGardenDaisies · 07/12/2024 18:17

@pcbrb that's so interesting!
To be TMI since there's was nothing when wiping, I put a finger in and it was clear. But I have never tried to feel my cervix 😂

Mumzydarling12 · 07/12/2024 18:24

ahhh @MyGardenDaisies sorry to here you have had a BFN and AF is starting to appear. All we can do is try try and try again! My AF is due 15th and have already written myself off for this month as we have hardly DTD we have been too poorly! So I will more than likely be joining you on the TTC Jan thread. It will be our 7th cycle of trying then 😬. Thinking of you go and treat yourself to a large glass of mulled wine! ☺️x

Of course, enjoy your nice mulled wine ♥️♥️ and yes, seeing the positive side, it is better that you will have a longer LP! Sending you hugs 🫶🏼

pcbrb · 07/12/2024 19:03

Update from today, 12 dpo. Tomorrow I'll do a clear blue digital 25 miu.

Baby dust to all who have gone BFN or AF and wishing all the best for the next cycle, and congrats to those with BFP wishing that the little bean is a sticky one and everything progresses well ♥️

Thank you lovely ladies xx

@pcbrb that's a great strong line! With my baby I did CB digital week tests until it showed 3+ (which is 5+ week gestation), which was really reassuring until the heartbeat scan at 7 weeks 🥰

@Kateb149 @Marie1990x thanks both. Yup I have already been referred to fertility hospital, hoping to get an appointment in January.

How are you guys getting on? Are you testing early or waiting for AF?

Oh of course, hopefully it’s not too long to wait for you 🤞

I think I’m just going to wait for AF which should arrive tomorrow… i’ve not had back ache or cramps yet but i’m sure that’ll appear soon enough 😅 x

SarahB88 · 07/12/2024 19:51

Wow @pcbrb that’s a really good positive! Congrats 🥰

MyGardenDaisies · 07/12/2024 20:04

So strange, I still have a very mild dull cramping but haven't had any more spotting, just 1x this early afternoon - rust/brown colour, nothing since.

Not going to lie, I am holding out hope it might be implantation? It would explain why testing negative, as hormones would rise after implantation, right?

Anyways, time will tell, period is due on Monday, will see what I wake up to

Renee33 · 07/12/2024 20:25

@MyGardenDaisies Don't want to get your hopes up but this does sound promising. Could be implantation bleeding as it can happen at 9dpo. I have all my fingers and bits crossed for you! Smile

pcbrb · 07/12/2024 20:32

@MyGardenDaisies it sounds like it could be implantation.. you know your body better as anybody else.. in other cycles, normally ones spotting starts it does stop until full flow begins? Hope it is implantation bleeding in the end 🙏🏼🙏🏼

MyGardenDaisies · 07/12/2024 20:35

Thank you ladies xx
@pcbrb I don't usually get spotting, usually straight to fast flow.

Eh I'll see what happens, I'll keep you all updated ! 😄

I wish I could wait until AF arrives, but I’ll absolutely be testing from Monday at 8dpo 😂

MyGardenDaisies · 07/12/2024 21:05

Thank you everyone you are all so sweet 🥹
Well I'm off to bed with a hopeful heart and without period yet so if AF starts full on tomorrow, at least the LP will be 10 days, which seems a tad bit better than 9!

@Marie1990x excited for you to start testing too 🤞

OP posts:
Marie1990x · 07/12/2024 21:32

Good luck @MyGardenDaisies keep us posted 😊.

I’m already counting myself out. I’ve started with a heavy feeling type of mild cramping, which always happens pretty much bang on a week before AF for me, so right on time

Lou98x · 07/12/2024 21:57

Trying my best not to symptom spot but I can’t help it! I’m about 8dpo (not completely sure as cycles have been a bit all over the place since having baby no. 1) and have been SO tired this week, despite other child sleeping really well (very unusual for them!), so can’t help but think it’s because I could be pregnant - trying to resist testing until AF is due in about a week 🤞🏼
