@DorsetGirl89 I think the corpus luteum can be responsible for cramping. And it can do that before implantation because it’s not reliant on it.

@MyPeppyLimeBear I’m so sorry 😞 that absolutely sucks x

Id say it was in between CD14 and CD15 in that 24 hours you didn’t text judging by BBT too hun.

Hi Holly! That could be the case as I usually get my peak CD12 - CD13 but two months ago I ovulated CD16, keep testing my love.

Thanks guys, I've got home and there's some slight brown spotting. Could be AF, could be implantation, time will tell, so I'm trying to chill the f out about it right now because I got myself a bit overwhelmed earlier.

@MyPeppyLimeBear I'm so sorry, sending you an enormous hug. It is great to know you ovulated though, I'm so glad you have got something positive from this, sending baby dust for next cycle, maybe see you back here ❤️✨

@EmPeEf how soon after spotting would levels be enough to detect on the 10miu tests if it is implantation? All official answers just seem to say test on day of missed period, but wondering if there's a usual timeline from spotting to bfp?

Ahhhhh I’m sure it’ll be a-ok ;) You got this! Wishing you a successful cycle x

At least two or three days I’d say, but it’s so hard to tell. Because you don’t know how old the spotting blood is if it’s brown.

With my first child I felt a very definite pinch and 3 days later I had the faintest of lines on a FR.

My temp has dropped this morning, so not only do I think I’m out, but I think I’m having another short luteal phase. Have cramping annd everything. I’m pretty sure this is a negative FR with FMU.

@EmPeEfi would say thats negative sorry, but also if you can wait a few days before you defo know youre out

@DorsetGirl898dpo is a good day to implant anything between 6-10dpo is normal for implantation and then around 2 days after if hcg is high enough then it can become detectable. Really sorry to hear everything you are going through so im hoping the bleed is light (and hopefully implantation bleeding, as that would make most sense at this point in your cycle) and its followed by Bfp! Sorry if i have provided false hope but really and truly wishful thinking, feel like you deserve this so fingers crossed for you x

@MyPeppyLimeBear sorry to hear that hope you have some baby dust next cycle

@peanutForever thank you. Since I've been home and I saw the very light brown spotting which isn't typical for me before AF, I then did a bit of research and it does seem quite textbook implantation. So I went from earlier being absolutely certain I was starting period to now back to thinking it was implantation 🫣 I don't want to give myself false hope either but I am staying positive. There are extra symptoms I don't normally get before AF, I have a weird mild tingling sensation from the groin down legs, the cramps feel more light and flickery than AF cramps (I have mild endometriosis so my AF cramps are normally deep and strong, not like this) and I've had headaches for days, I tried a glass of wine on my birthday yesterday and a couple of sips and my head was pounding I couldn't finish it (that's absolutely not normally a problem for me!) also the sharp shooting pain in my boob earlier isn't usual. The feeling emotional and tearful earlier was absolutely textbook AF for me though, so I still feel like AF might arrive in the night, although timings wise that wouldn't make sense, but I just want to be prepared that might happen.

I'm trying to navigate the forum and find your other posts @peanutForever where are you in your cycle/dpo? Thanks for your response, everyone here is so supportive ❤️

@DorsetGirl89 Blimey, you really are going through a lot. I'm sorry to hear the news of your cancer return. I obviously don't know the details and I certainly am not a medical professional, but it's undeniably a lot going on. And a whole mix of emotions I'm sure too.

When time feels against you, every precious minute, hour, day, week feels so important. And it's going to make waiting a lot harder. It's harder for all of us, but especially difficult given your circumstances. And, it doesn't matter whether it's your first cycle or your 50th... The TWW is agonising for everyone.

But sadly, frustratingly, this is a game of time. It's a wait to see a positive line, it's then a wait to see if that line is going to stay around, it's a wait until a scan to see if everything is progressing as it should, it's a wait for abnormality test results, it's a wait for birth...

Is there something you find helps keep your mind distracted? I love crocheting for that as I have to focus on it and it feels productive to be making something... Or getting stuck into a good book. Last night, I just ploughed on with my latest read because if I'm immersed in the fiction, I can't be thinking about my own stuff!

Definitely would recommend making yourself a list of things you can do to help pass the time and stay distracted. Because... You'll drive yourself crazy analysing symptoms and trying to fathom what's happening.

Oh no 😣 will they test hcg at the blood test?

TTC is so bloody hard isn’t it!

Tested today again stupidly as was feeling terrible (not w fmu) feel like I can see a line but I don’t really trust faints at all on these cheap tests:/ What do we think ladies?

Thank you. Honestly it probably sounds more dramatic than it is. I've got so used to my illness that I'm fine with it, it's been a blessing in so many ways and has given me such humility and gratitude for life that I honestly couldn't complain as a whole, I'm lucky to be here at all. I just finished finished 3 years of treatment and I knew there was a chance I'd have to start again, we just thought I'd stay in remission for a while at least, not just a few months, so it was a shock to find out the levels were creeping back up again already. I'm very lucky it's a very slowly developing type of Leukaemia though, so it doesn't tend to do anything too surprising or dramatic at the levels it's at now, it's only when the levels go high that things can get pretty ropey without treatment, so the hope is if I get pregnant soon, I won't be near any risky territory off treatment for a while. If levels get really high in pregnancy, there are safer options to slow it, but the treatment we know works for me will be off the table, so yeah, all just a bit overwhelming, but I am fine, I'll be fine. I was a bit over emotional earlier and your post about what's going on with you made me quite tearful, I really hope you get the outcome you want soon ❤️

I think if I'm in same boat next month I'll be a lot calmer to be honest, this is my first taste of the anxiety of the TWW and I've struggled to distract myself from it. If I don't get my BFP this time round I will approach next month differently and I'll be prepared to not think allll of these things going on in my body are pregnancy as I would've turned out to have been wrong, so I won't be testing so much and symptom spotting as much I hope 🤞🏻

As for distractions, this week I'm going to see Guns N Roses at Wembley, so that'll take my mind off much else for a night at least 😆 also, my stepsisters dog has had puppies and lord above are they adorable 😍 they're not helping much with my broodiness but they are a welcome distraction 😆❤️🐾

Thank you! Going to boil it to use tomorrow 🤣 got an almost positive LH strip this afternoon, I imagine it’ll be properly positive later so definitely ovulation tomorrow or Thursday, so maybe one more opportunity 🤞🏻

@DorsetGirl89im 4DPO, hoping this month is our month, thought i was out this cycle and defo wont be able to try next month as DH has shoulder surgery scheduled, really hope it is implantation bleeding

@am44aunfortunately i cant see anything so for now evap.. but if i was you i would step away from the inverting of images, test again in a few days and hopefully we see something, fingers crossed best of luck! x

First time to a thread like this.

A bit about my journey, fell pregnant in cycle 3 of TTC and had a miscarriage at 6 weeks in January. It was dragged out by incomplete miscarriage and an MVA in February. My cycle returned in March and I haven't been seeing peak fertility when tracking apart from this cycle!

I am obsessed with looking for symptoms, can't not think about testing and it's really not good but I just want it so much.

I this morning 9/10dpo and I think it's an evap line as it only showed up after 10-15 mins on the clearblue ultra early. I know me and I will probably test until AF is due now on Sunday 🙈

Congratulations to everyone who has positives and so much love and luck to anyone wanting a positive xx

Is anyone else just sick of ttc :( every negative test upsets me so badly I just feel like it’ll never happen

welcome lovely!xx

hey everyone! been a bit quiet as busy the past few days, currently cycle day 11, which means i can ovulate anytime between now & 3 weeks time🤦‍♀️ debating going to get testing done if nothing this cycle?xxx

Cd6 today still a long way to go 🤣 got my apple watch today and set up for cycle tracking 😍👍🏻 cant wait to see how this works it’s also synched to flo
felt a bit down this morning because it’s taking longer than expected to fall pregnant this time after chemical on our first month trying for baby #3…this is cycle number 5 fingers crossed 🤞🏻❤️

@OneJoyousGreenBeardo you have an update ? My test looked the same as this today x

@am44ai feel you. What's your story?

CD 33. Wish my period would hurry up!! Usually have cycles of around 27 or 28 days but have been feeling stressed these last 2 which has delayed AF both times. Either that or I ovulated later.

This will be our first proper month of TTC!
