I think AF has started brown with bits of red , only light but it will be in full force soon. I am so devastated , I maybe ovulated later than I thought maybe cycle day 18/19 , which would make sense .. but we dtd virtually every day so was so optimistic this time ... it’s just horrible - sorry to moan xxxx

 

[RainbowMama]

Aww, I’m so sorry @Sugar10! Sending lots of hugs, have a warm bath and take some time. X

 

[Sugar10]

@RainbowMama Thankyou. We’ve only just started to think about trying properly to be honest, so I can’t moan really as people are going through worse ..
Just thought it would “just happen” like with my others.
Going to have movie night with the kids , they’ve chose bumblebee movie and we have pizza and crisps and a little bit of fizzy pop - (wine for me!) haha.
It’s really devastated me as I thought I knew the signs and thought I was this time, and I usually have to wait till Cd 35 to find out, but I was wrong x x

So sorry! That first day of AF is always so devastating. I thought the same thing this cycle. We really made sure to cover all bases this month. Tomorrow will be better. I just can’t wait to get a start on August!!!

 

[Sugar10]

@Fsb676 yea it’s truly devastating, and when you’re not expecting it either.
Roll on august!!

At 8dpo, my BBT shot up again.
At 9dpo, it stayed high.
Today, 10dpo, my BBT came back down a fair bit, still very much above baseline but I was hoping it would stay high for longer!!

However I caved and tested. Managed to get myself all upset but then realised I'm only 10dpo so hoping I'm not 100% out yet. I had a really horrible groggy period-like feeling in my stomach today so truly thought I was out

Is this negative? I can't tell because it looks like there's something but I can't be sure!

I feel like I can see a shadow of a line on this but when I click to view it bigger I can't see it so well. What time did you test? Is it worth trying again with fmu? Fingers crossed it turns in to something!

I’m not doing well at all - I woke up at 4am flooding. Like I couldn’t stand and in so much pain. A sanitary pad likely won’t hold it, I’m lying in bed trying to rest at the moment. My kids are still asleep luckily.
This happened in April with the MC and I ended up in theatre. My period after that at the start of June was late but I did have a really heavy day, but not painful . Hoping this is just one day of this, but it’s the pain that worries me.
It can’t be another MC as I haven’t had a positive test.
Has anyone had heavier painful periods following a MC and does it settle after a few cycles?

**note - I also take blood thinners which doesn’t help the situation, but I usually don’t flood whilst on my cycle just tend to have a slightly heavier day or 2. And they weren’t normally with pain and only usually last 4/5 days.

so fed up of all this feeling sorry for myself today so sorry for the moan!! Honestly I don’t mean to offend or upset anyone with this post so hope I don’t x

 

[Sugar10]

@Cookies , I think I can see something but I know they’re harder to see on a photo! If it’s there , then it’ll only get darker so try again in a day or two , your still early enough. Exciting for you! x

 

[Sugar10]

I’m not sure if I’m having another MC actually, in so much pain, and it’s just flooding with lots of huge clots. I’ve taken codeine and having a sofa day.

Saw both of your posts and so sad for you! Get well soon! Keep us posted how you are getting on in the next day or two.

 

[Sugar10]

@Fsb676 . Thankyou. It’s not settled down, I’m not feeling great about it and could end up back in hospital if it doesn’t settle down. As I’ll have lost too much blood. I needed 3 transfusions in April

I’ll take some days out and I’ll pop back in soon xxx good luck everyone

Sending lots of love and get well wishes @Sugar10 xxx

 

[RainbowMama]

@Cookie517, I feel like I’m seeing a bit of a shadow too, I hope the retest is much clearer, keeping everything crossed for you. .

@Sugar10, Given it was a BFN cycle I strongly suspect it’s the blood thinners which are making you bleed very heavy, didn’t you say you too had a blood clotting disorder? I’d recommend going to hospital to get checked over, maybe your medication needs adjusting. Good luck.

 

[RainbowMama]

A bit of a personal question, but does anyone use tampons and during day 3+ have some shooting pains on the outside, like vulval & clit area? I’ve had it the last few cycles and it hurts so bad.
I had to give up using my moon cup as it was triggered my SPD!

How are your tests looking @Clarkecharm?

How are your tests looking @Clarkecharm?

Funny you should ask that…. I’d nearly given up! These are this morning… can you see anything, I think I can I’ve got a video and it’s clearer but too large to upload xx

 

[RainbowMama]

I see something @Clarkecharm and I'm praying to the Gods it isn't an indent. Fingers crossed for you!
