Never been so please to see AF!!
I was pretty sure I O'ed beginning of week, my LP are quite short so hoped I would start this week and I have

Hopefully going to try this cycle although waiting on result of my smear test before we definitely go for it, as I have annual ones due to previous problems. So hopefully I'll get the result before I ovulate.

I lost my baby at 15 weeks (PPROM) and am so hoping for another BFP

I'm with you here

After nearly 4 months of waiting for first AF after erpc in December i think it may be on its way . I never thought id be happy to see the old witch. Well i think its AF anyway.
I'm getting pains in my lower belly and the tops of my legs and bottom of my back are aching which ive always had when periods started before the mc. And (sorry if TMI) when i wipe after a wee there is a little bit of blood and my "bits" feel more sensitive. This does sound like AF doesnt it??
I did go through thinking, is it ovulation, is it implantation, is it AF but i think it'll be AF (no sore boobs so didnt think it was implantation). Bloody symptoms for all of them are similar at times arent they . Do they sound like AF to you all. I'm sure over the next couple of days it will all become clear.
One thing i do have to say even though it may be coincidence is Agnus Castus may be a wonder worker. I started taking it last week as i was willing to try anything to try and kickstart my system to ovulate/AF so have been on it (2 x 400mg twice a day from Holland&Barratt) for about a week. I am sure it couldnt work that quick could it??? If it is AF, would i count today as CD1? (Im hopeless at all this tracking lol!!!).
And i had a load of blood tests on Friday to see why AF was not appearing and going to see doc on Thursday 12 April for the results. If this is my AF it would be interesting to see if they show up anything (Follicle tests, thyroid and all sorts he asked for). It maybe that just getting someone to listen and do something instead of just saying "wait a bit longer" which made me feel a lot better in myself may have also helped things.
Anyway thanks for listening to me waffle on. I just feel so much better in myself thinking things might start to get back to normal and we an start TTC properly. And good luck in your TTC

I would say it definitely sounds like AF as I have tummy pains when I ovulate but only get the achey thighs when AF is coming and this sounds like you too! I had a little bit of brown when I wiped last night and it started today (not too heavy) I thought AF was on it's way as a massive spot appeared on my face and that hardly ever happens.

It may well have been the Agnus Castus but it was probably on it's way anyway, perhaps relaxing more after your tests helped too

It is so nice knowing your body is behaving naturally again

So are you trying this cycle?

Hi cracker. Nothing happened at all since yesterday morning and even all the pains stopped yesterday so doesn't look like it was af . But having been googling I'm wondering if it could have been ov spotting. Had all the period like pains Tuesday afternoon and night into Wednesday morning, bit of nausea. Then only when I went the loo did I notice a little bit of blood mixed in with creamy mucus (sorry tmi). Nothing else except maybe slightly bit darker marking on my panty liner and then another bit of blood and creamy mucus later around lunchtime. My stomach cramps etc then seemed to disappear yesterday afternoon.
We are trying for a baby. Getting pg before made us realise we really want one. We've been bd'ing whenever we felt like it. Trying not To put any pressure on ourselves to do it just for baby making. But if it is ov pains then might have to jump his bones today sometime lol.
Here's hoping u get your results back soon and can start trying. I might put myself down for mo as 1dpo and keep fingers crossed for 2 weeks time unless anything else happens.
Let me know how things go. Would be nice keep in touch if u don't mind and see how we both get on sorry for waffling on by the way.

Well if itsn't AF it must be Ov - are you temping? Might help pinpoint it for you. Anyway like you say I would go for it

I amazingly had a letter from the Doctors today and my smear result was normal!! So pleased, so we can definitely try this cycle - really excited but a little anxious naturally.

Hey waffle away, I can do my fair share too and it'd be nice to stay in touch

...and my af kicked in today too!! 4 weeks after d&c and it's the bloodiest i've ever seen so far! but at least it will all be nice and clean afterwards!

Hiya cracker and love within.
Hooray for clear smear. Now to get down to ttc . I keep trying not to obsess as I know it can affect things happening but can't help myself sometimes. I am temping but temps seem to be up and down like a yoyo so not 100% sure what to look for.
2ww now. Af due around 16th/17th which unlucky for me is when we go to turkey for a much needed holiday. Will have to be prepared for all eventualities-pads, liners, tampons, pg test just in case .
Hope you all have a good easter. Enjoy the long weekend

Hi all, I'm hopefully just coming to the end of my AF and been giving the ok to start trying again after ERPC. I'm not temping or using OPK just hopefully letting nature take its course.

Hey Lovewithin, I seem to be following you around on different threads.xx

Hi everyone! This Af is much lighter than normal - but I guess we are all different I have heard it can be either way.

Typical it will all happen on your hols Ljane74, just realised it'll prob be the same for me as we are going to Greece in a month - oh well, no fun and frolics in the sun!!

Hard to decide whether to temp or not but I do like the reassurance my body is ovulating and we are doing it at the right time!

hey girls! great to hear some good news here

and yeps JoLM, we met around quite some threads by now to u and happy easter to everybody!
