Hiya! Welcome to the forum! Hope you get your BFP hun, your right, some people take a bit longer to get their BFP...
Thursday sounds like implantation bleeding to me hun!
Maybe just wait it out.. give it a few days and test again! May i suggest getting a few cheapies off of ebay? They DO work as well as store brands and they are great if your a peestickaholic!! I done hundreds in 3 months lol! Its best to have a bunch handy!
I wish u all the best TTC again and i hope i helped slighlty lol!
Charting is a great way to manage your cycle too, so if you havent started already try www.fertilityfriend.com and start charting!!
I hope u get your BFP soon honey!!

Hi and thanks for the welcome, much apprieciated. I already have lots of HPT of ebay lol as yes iam a testaholic, but mainly because im not having any AFs so don't know where abouts in my cycle iam if she dosnt show. iyswim? The implantation bleed that i 'think' i had was gone in one wipe of the tissue and was pinkish slime lol ( cm) I ve never ever experienced spotting before, b4 af or during ov etc so im 99% positive its not that. But these BFN are so disheartning. Ive symptoms for me that indicate pg, but just have to wait and see. xxx

I think it sounds like implantation!
Have u started charting? Go to www.fertilityfriend.com and start using a BBT thermometer and it will keep you in control of your cycle.. They are wicked! Have a look at mine.. i had a long cycle too..
http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/149133
There you can see if you've ovulated by your temperature.. it may take a week or two to see patterns but u can monitor your symptoms and stuff! Its like a diary!
I highly recommend it!
Did you have it with your other children?

 

[cherrypie556]

No never had an implantation before, and never charted etc b4 either so all new. im gonna wait till thursday before i go spending on thermometers and things xx

 

[Jayceesmumma]

Yeah best to wait til u start a new cycle to chart.. hopefully you wont have to!
All i can suggest is wait a few days... or if not do one every fmu!
I dont see any other reason for your spotting.. i hope u get your BFP soon honey!

 

[cherrypie556]

thanks hun. The only thing is if i dont get my BFP this month, i cant start charting etc as im not having any afs anyway so have no 'new' cycle to wait for.

 

[Jayceesmumma]

So u never have an af?
Ud still Ovulate, and charting will show u when u ovulated.. look in the chart stalkers thread.. you will see how it shows ovulation by temperatue rises.
And if your not ovulating its an issue to raise with the docs!

 

[cherrypie556]

No not having Afs as im still breastfeeding my dd.

 

[Jayceesmumma]

Oh i see.. hmmm... makes it a tad harder..
Still, charting will show when u've ovulated..
I had no af for 80 days after stopping my pill and i charted and finally ovulated! It was so much easier charting than taking HPT and OPK every day!
Lets see what next week brings.. I hope you get your BFP honey!

hi katrina. My dd is 7 months (14th jan her bday) when is your dd's bday as similar age. I only feed her i would say max 3 times in 24hrs. I havnt had any periods though yet, so im expecting it to be a while before i get my BFP. xx

 

[Rosieroo]

any chance you know who she is or how long it took her to fall? xx

I do but she's not on much at the moment

Her little girl was around 5-6 months when she conceived again

 

[cherrypie556]

Well just spoken to my health visitor who assures me that i am definately not feeding Emily often enough to still be producing enough hormones for my AF not to return.
Really pleased as didnt want to stop feeding here just yet, guess its the mini pill still coming out my system.
