Hi girls, this is the new, combined thread. I figured that only those lucky enough to manage it this month would make it into spring, so I'm aiming for a big summer belly. Good luck to all of us!

Hello everyone

Feel a bit down, I am on cd24 and period is due Saturday. Fro some mad reason i thought I was due on tomorrow, think its because I had some feelings in my tummy. Just had a wee and noticed when I wiped myself that there was some colouring which I think maybe blood. It was not red but wishy washy - cant explain. But I just know its not wee. I hope so much my period is not starting five days early, i am usually very regular. This could not be an implantation bleed as i bd around ovulation date ages ago 6th - 15 the August (not everyday). Bit confused.

Sorry puppy - how rude of me.

Welcome to our thread and sorry if you have entered to hear me moaning...

Good luck!

puppy · 22/08/2005 22:09

Its ok lovecloud, I remember like it was yesterday the feeling downs,confusions, the excitement when you notice what you think are early pregnancy symptoms, you will get there just hang on in there and good luck to you too and all others on this thread .

lovecloud · 22/08/2005 22:23

So do you think its an early period or an implantation bleed?

How long after conception can you get an implantation bleed, could it be a whole 10 days?

puppy · 22/08/2005 22:31

I really couldn't say, I have no experience/knowledge of implantation bleeds, I'm of no use i'm afraid

lovecloud · 22/08/2005 22:43

Thanks just checked out the archives and alot of people actually had various descriptions of imp bleeds at around 8 14 days after ovulation which is where I am now so thats promising. Although mine wa snot obviously red but def not just wee.

I hang onto any hope every month - im terrible if my friends and dh read this I would die, no-one really knows how much i long for a baby.

Madigan · 23/08/2005 07:02

Fingers crossed lovecloud ... my AF is due about the same time as yours - but varies a bit. Have tested yesterday and today - both BFN, not holding out much hope. Only possible symptom was that my boobs were incredibly sore last Friday through till Monday. The pain has eased slighlty now. But probably just reading too much into it - reckon I should have tested positive by now (11DPO)?

Artoo · 23/08/2005 08:13

Welcome Puppy and Micku5 to the thread. Here's hoping both of you success

Lovecloud, hope that what you're seeing is an implantation bleed and not AF rearing her head.

Hugs to all,
Artoo.

Welcome Puppy I'm on count down to starting trying in November, so trying to pick up any tips going for a quick conception!!!! That prob. means it will take for every this time.

Sorry can't help on imp bleed lovecloud as I didn't last time, fingers crossed though XXXXXX

jersey · 23/08/2005 08:21

Sorry welcome Micku5 as well, fingers crossed for you for a short stay as well xxx

LilacLotus · 23/08/2005 09:02

welcome and good luck puppy!

lovecloud, have you had anymore bleeding? i hope it was implantation.

i've still got really sore breasts. i had trouble getting comfy in bed as they ached so much. i had a bit of cry when DP said my period must be on it's way as i had this last month too.

Roobedoo · 23/08/2005 09:46

Blimey puppy - that sounds promising!

Lovecloud, I read implantation takes place 7-10 days after ovulation - so you never know.

Good luck all.

puppy · 23/08/2005 12:28

Thanks for the lovely warm welcomes

How are you doing this morning lovecloud?

This morning not feeling as nauseous, still got the veins and bad taste and the cramps convinced that AF will show on sunday, i did do a test yesterday morn to see if anything would show up - bfn , i knew it was far too early to test but i've bought some cheap tests and thought sod it one won't hurt, will have to hold back from testing now and see if i ride the crimson wave on sun.

Micku5 · 23/08/2005 12:36

Hi all, just want to echo puppy ' thanks for the warm welcomes'.

Just been browsing thru some websites and have already marked my 'fertile' days incase AF shows up this month. DH had better get as much rest as possible!!

lovecloud · 23/08/2005 13:24

Yuk! I have a crumbly discharge???

I am due on this Saturday and dont normally get discharge only around my ovulation date.

Is it normal to get discharge a few days before periods are due?

It is not smelly but crumbly and cream... sorry but you guys are the only people i would feel comfortable discussing my discharge

I am hoping it is some kind or hormonal discharge kicking in as I am pregnant - PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!

Or it may just be my body has decided to produce it fo some weird reason. My body is good at tricking me into thinking i am pregnant every month.

How are all you guys doing, any weird symptoms?

Micku5 · 23/08/2005 13:31

I don't know if this site will help but it does explain a bit more a about discharge and fertile days.

lovecloud · 23/08/2005 13:37

Hello

Thanks just checked it out, it did not mention crumbly discharge just before periods though.

Guess its just a waiting game - ... i hate waiting

Where are you in your cycle?

strike1 · 23/08/2005 13:39

Hi all, don't mean to barge in but I've added my stats to your list cause I've be lurking a bit round your thread and thought it best to introduce myself. I'm also on the ttc after miscarriage thread, but as we're all aiming towards the same goal I decided see how you guys were doing.

I'm on my second month since m/c and bding like mad right now Hoping to test in early september.

Littlestarsweeper · 23/08/2005 15:16

Welcome Strike,
Looks like a big bleed today 12 days after frosties put in. Looks unlikely that i am a positive as too much blood. Although i did a pregnancy test last week and yesterday which told me i was positive so a bit of a bummer girls.

Ho hum well that was my last attempt no frosties left in the bank and the wrong side of 40 so I had better hang me mummy thoughts out to dry and get on with life.

Loads of luck to you all though. X

LilacLotus · 23/08/2005 15:32

Littlestarsweeper i'm sorry {{hug}}

lovecloud, crumbly discharge? that sounds strange! keep us posted.

welcome strike1! best of luck

it's nice to have so many new people join this thread. i am also wondering how all those with BFP are getting on now. i can't wait for the weekend, i think we have about 3 or 4 people waiting for AF or testing! seems we've been synchronizing cycles!

lovecloud · 23/08/2005 15:42

Thats what happens when women get together

I lived in a student house with 4 girls and within a year are cycles were almost the same - mad!

Littlestarsweeper - bit confused? You tested pos after you bled? Surely there is still a chance?

I am sorry if you think you should give up - I guess you have to give yourself an end point somewhere. Have you got any children?

Littlestarsweeper · 23/08/2005 16:11

just one ds also ivf. I thought after two pos readings i might just test again next week. Anything is possible.

lovecloud · 23/08/2005 16:15

Well goodluck!

lovecloud · 23/08/2005 16:56

Ladeez

I have given in and bought a clear blue test thatyou can use 4 days before, there are two in a pack so it wouldnt hurt would it? Today is 4 days before I am due.

STOP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
