I’d say my bleeding has stopped for now, I bled for 3 days, spotted (just blood when wiping and maybe a 1/4 tsp in the pot) for another 2 days, then nothing today yet. I took high dose Vitamin D (5,000 iU) on the second day at the advice of someone on FB and it slowed within 2 hrs then stopped soon after. Did some googling myself and Vitamin D can act as progesterone.

Your line is darker than mine. I haven’t tested in 3 days now, just waiting. Here’s my last tests — the second paler one wasn’t positive until aaaaalmost after timeframe. I took two very pale blue dye tests before these two.

hi @Rach87! I’ve still got pregnancy symptoms, lots, but I’m super aware it doesn’t mean the babe is okay after the bleeding

I’m sorry the line is looking lighter. Have you been able to get in to see a doctor?

I don’t think so. I had two days of positive opks with o pain. I started bleeding at 13 dpo, and af usually starts at 12 dpo for me, although she comes at 11 or 13 dpo sometimes too. I still have heavy bleeding and cramps. A totally normal period for me. Just with a positive pregnancy test. I’m worried about an ectopic.

My ectopic was nothing like that. I got a strong positive straight away (I think I was 14dpo but not sure) and there was nothing to suggest an ectopic until I had horrendous pain start suddenly in the middle of the night. The pain was so bad that we left almost straight away for hospital, it was worse than induced labour, it honestly felt like I was being stabbed. I didn’t bleed at all and my hcg level was completely normal (3600 at 5+2)
Pain is the main symptom of ectopic. It’s the worst pain I’ve ever experienced.

@ciz sorry af showed but hopefully your next cycle will be a normal one (and a lucky one!)

@loeylo Maybe no symptoms is a symptom for you! I usually get sore breasts, bloated, and very weepy pre af and this month I haven’t had any. Do you normally get pms?

I don’t know if I normally get pms as I’m still getting to know my “normal” after being on the pill for nearly 5 years. I’d guess so, as I used to. I do have all those symptoms (except bloat) but I’d be expecting more pregnancy like symptoms by now wouldn’t I? I just remember early pregnancy being rough and I feel okay.

 

[loeylo]

Sorry @BabyBrain80 @ciz a 50/52 day cycle sounds brutal, hope it goes back to normal this month and you still get a chance for a Jan bfp!

@Teafor2 sorry for the bleeding, have you tried calling an ob/gyn to ask?

@wrapunzel hows it going?

@loeylo hopefully no signs is a good sign! Have you tested at all?

mine today looked pretty bfn again. Will post anyway.

I’ve not tested yet, will buy a test tomorrow I guess. I didn’t want to test too early because I’ll drive myself mad!
Sorry that it’s negative, it’s still so early. Do you have any symptoms?

 

[Teafor2]

@loeylo Thanks for the reply. I really hope it’s not ectopic, so that’s encouraging to hear. Sorry to hear that happened to you. It sounds horrible.

I don’t know about symptom timing. They say every pregnancy is different so maybe you just aren’t having symptoms this time. I’ve never been pregnant before so I don’t know what to expect.

Dh had a friend that had a ‘period’ the first month she was pregnant, so he’s hoping that’s what’s happening to me.

I’ve now been pregnant 5 times so I feel like I should know what’s going on far better than I do. I can’t seem to find my old posts when pregnant with dd to compare (as I don’t really want to compare it to my losses if that makes sense)

Ectopics are pretty rare -1:100 of pregnancies are ectopic. I now have a 1:10 risk of an ectopic with each pregnancy - and I’ve been pregnant twice since then. Eek. An ectopic is not as scary for me now that I’ve actually been through it, but I might have forgotten a lot of the trauma I experienced.

 

[loeylo]

Okay I’ve just looked back and I got my bfp at cd32 with dd and I didn’t really have symptoms to cd26. If I assume I ovulated on cd14-cd18, it was 8-12dpo before I got symptoms.

How many dpo are you now?

 

[loeylo]

How many dpo are you now?

10dpo.

 

[Teafor2]

10dpo.

That’s still so early! I wouldn’t worry about symptoms yet. Plus people say every pregnancy is different!

 

[PinkCupcakes]

I don't know if this helps or not but I've done seven transfers (all frozen) and tend to get diarrhea afterwards, even without the trigger shot. I think it's a combo of the nerves leading up to it and meds they have you on to sustain it until your body kicks in to make the hormones naturally.

I didn’t have anything stuck up inside me though, just fertility meds and trigger shot

Thank you. Realistically I know you are right, but I’m just not feeling it right now.

nope, waiting on the test, I’ll go in if it’s positive

 

[Kimmy1990]

So I’m still cramping like af is coming but nothing yet. Been 5 days which is not normal for me. My BBs are starting to slightly ache again like af is about to start. Woke up feeling nauseous as well. Definitely not a normal cycle for me. But still feel like af is on it way. Very frustrating. Tested yesterday and got a BFN only to realise the tests were out of date (don’t test much as af always arrives) not technically late yet but a longer cycle then last month. Fingers crossed this weird cycle is the one. Won’t test now until the 5th of af isn’t here.

 

[FTale]

@wrapunzel Hugs hun. Has to be very hard. Praying for baby to pull through. Keep us posted.

Sorry about bfns showing their ugly mugs. Hoping for some bright bfps soon.

FX for Jan

 

[Lozb]

Getting some good OPK lines this month. Building nicely at 11dpo.

 

[wantingagirl]

If you’ll let me I want to come and stalk all you ladies I shared the December thread with

me too

I had some cramping and lower abdominal fullness and tenderness a few days past O. Today not so much that just some dizziness and exhaustion.

 

[Rach87]

Ooo just had a zing of lightning crotch. Is it too early for that? Funny who ever thought Id be excited for that?! Maybe 9/10 dpo? (You’d think after 2 kids I’d remember anything about possible early pregnancy symptoms)
