Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 12

Oh Millie I'm really sorry I was really hoping for you :-(

I'm back to spotting again now. Never thought I'd say this but come on AF!!

Blood tests came back with marginal for a thyroid issue so having them redone in 2 wks. In a weird way I hope it is that as it's fairly easy to treat!

Sorry Milliebob f/x for next time for you!

Hope AF happens soon for you Cats and that the results of the next tests help you.

AF is due tomorrow. It's felt like a very long wait this time. The only symptoms she has are those very general ones like tiredness, aches that could be either.

Not certain if OV even happened this month as she didn't notice the normal cramping that accompanies it. Although she did have lots of ewcm building up to one day when it then stopped.


Update 24/12/15 - nothing yet

Milliebob

Merry Christmas everyone, hope you all have a wonderful day xx

FreddieFrugal

Merry Christmas to you too Milliebob and to everyone on the forum.

We're on CD37 now - no sign of AF. This is the latest it's been. Normally light spotting starts on CD34-35 followed by full AF on CD35-36. But no spotting or anything yet, despite having cramps over the last few days.

Not jumping to conclusions yet as it could just show up tomorrow, but there's a glimmer of hope there at least!

FreddieFrugal

AF showed up this evening. Crud. We got quite optimistic today.

toriaterrier

Aww so sorry Millie, fingers crossed for you this month.

Cats, I have thyroid problems and taking medication helped AF regulate.

Don't want to get your hopes up but it does sound positive, Freddie!

CD29 here. Been ttc since Feb and tracking since June and each month I have no idea when to expect AF. It ranges between 26-30 days (seems to mostly be 29 days) apart from when I had my CP/early MC. With my other 2 I didn't test until I was about 5 1/2 weeks. I don't know if it's just taking a bit longer to show or whether AF is on the way somewhere. Been a bit crampy but I think that's because we bd last night (tmi?). It doesn't feel like AF. I do have little twinges near my belly button though, but maybe too high? I tested BFN yesterday (hoping for a special Xmas pressie) but I don't know whether to test again tomorrow or Monday. We are visiting family on Monday though... :huh: Gosh I do like to ramble! Fingers crossed everyone x

Ratison

That's a shame for you Freddie. Fingers crossed for the next cycle.

Hope you have good news toriaterrier.

I posted a while ago about planning to start trying after Christmas. So that time is now. Not thinking BD will match up with ovulation for some time as OH works away and we only see each other once a month. AF due in 2 days, so I think I'll try and track this cycle properly on Glow just to get to grips with when I might be ovulating.

Good luck everyone!

toriaterrier

So sorry Freddie :grouphug:

Thank you Ratison, hope you and OH don't have too much difficulty getting together at the right time. Good luck

FreddieFrugal

Thanks Ratison and terrier.

Confusion now though, we're not certain what's going on. Thought AF was starting properly yesterday night, but it was actually lighter today, only when wiping and then it's watery brown.

Sorry if TMI but she just showed me some dark brown stringy discharge.

If full AF doesn't show up tomorrow morning we're going to do a pregnancy test.

Either it's an early miscarriage, or an infection or, potentially, she's pregnant but bleeding. From reading online there are quite a few posts on netmums etc. Of people having similar bleeding early but all turned out fine.

I have everything crossed for you Freddie!! However what you're describing is similar to what I finally had this month after CD70 - and I think it's because I didn't ovulate. But I'm praying that's not the case for you guys!!!

As for me, CD4 I think - but, sorry for TMI, it's been a super light AF, only needing "light" stuff, and lots of dark brown which I think is simply because the blood is so old (so sorry for tmi but might help someone else!!).

So I THINK I'm now onto a new cycle, but to be honest who knows!!
