33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[TTCSK]

Hello I'm 28 ttc with my partner. The first day of ttc after sex I went to the bathroom and there was pink and red blood. It stopped after a few hours. Any insight on what that could have been?

 

[happycupcake]

Have you recently come off any hormonal birth control? Could be a bleed from the changes coming off this, if so. Do you have sex regularly anyway? If not, then could be sex irritated your cervix making it bleed a little. If you're due to ovulate or have ovulated could be a little bleeding from this as some experience bleeding around ovulation. When did this happen? If you had unprotected sex only recently then it's unlikely to be implantation BUT if you have had unprotected sex say, a week ago and the bleed happened now then it could be. Obviously some won't call it 'trying to conceive' if they were simply not preventing before but not trying per se.
Are you due af relatively soon, as in a few days? Because sometimes sex can bring it on earlier. I have had this before, but usually only a day or so earlier than expected.
Was there any pain during sex? Have you had a cervical screening recently? If you haven't then I suggest having one anyway, since it's always best to have one done before trying if you're due a screening fairly soon. Sometimes bleeding between periods for no obvious reason can indicate a problem but usually it's due to something completely innocent, but the advice here (UK) is to have a check up if there's any bleeding which is unusual for you

I've been to the doctor and everything checked out fine. My doctor said I'm good to start trying. I know it isn't implantation because this was the first time we had sex in a while being that he's in the military and just came home recently. I was definitely ovulating for sure when this happened it just threw me off because I've never had this happen before. I'm now 6dpo today. All morning I keep having a super wet feeling pain in my bikini line area and my chest doesn't hurt but they feel super heavy when I take my bra off. AF is due in 8 days

 

[TTCSK]

Oh and I've been off BC for a year now.

 

[curiousowl]

Sorry cupcake

 

[Alligator]

TTCSK - It was probably just a little bleeding from sex, especially if it had been awhile for you and DH. I wouldn't worry too much about it!

 

[ladders]

Im really sorry cupcake, I hate this happens to you 😔😔

 

[Calibeachbum]

Hello!
I'm 33 and DH just turned 40. We are ttc #2. It took us 3.5 years with our DS and clomid. I start clomid tomorrow (cd 3). Scared and hopeful to go through this ttc emotional battle again.

 

[ladders]

Hi cali welcome to the group! That must have been so difficult, I found ttc #1 so stressful and felt like the 10 months were years so I have no idea how you kept yourself sane. All worth it in the end eh! Hopefully as Clomid worked so well last time you won't be in for such a long ride!

 

[curiousowl]

So, 48 hour progression pics! I think it's looking good. My history has a little voice doubting but I'm trying to be positive. I might tell a few close friends.

I told DH last night. I had DD give him a book called "I'm a big sister". He said "what does this mean?" and I said "what do you think?!" Lol.

 

[Momtastic101]

So random question. Has frer officially gone back to their older design? I really hope so!

 

[Momtastic101]

Congrats to everyone who got BFP's I'm so exited for you all!

 

[curiousowl]

That was my last FRER but I have 4 more Wondfos so I'll take those the next few days.

 

[curiousowl]

So random question. Has frer officially gone back to their older design? I really hope so!

I'm not sure. Some stores around me only have the new type. My Target only has the old ones so I bought those since I had heard such bad things about the new design.

 

[ladders]

That's brilliant progression curious!!!

Hi momtastic! Im not sure about the frer iv not seen a curved one not sure if they haven't cone out here in the uk?

 

[TTCSK]

Congrats curiousowl that's so exciting!!

 

[PG5K]

Oh wow, I've not been on the thread for a few days and we've had some BFP! Congratulations xx

Cupcake I'm really rooting for you

For me, I think I'm about 8dpo now. I've had some symptoms but similar to what I sometimes have anyway - odd cramps, heavy boobs, tingly nipple and super tired but these could be random nothing too!
I think I might test on Monday at 10dpo just for the hell of it since I have some Internet cheapies.
Though if I wake up and wee because I'm tired and forget then I'll test Tuesday instead

 

[Calibeachbum]

Great news curiousowl! Looks like a good progression!

I use the internet cheapies since I'm a poas addict. They worked great with my son. Once I got a bfp I used the frer to confirm.

 

[happycupcake]

TTCSK I would be inclined to agree with Alligator on this, then. If you haven't had sex for a while and you're ovulating then it could be a little irritation from sex and also potentially ovulation. Sometimes I see a little bleeding if I don't use a lubricant because most of the time I don't make enough myself and I know some. Ladies experience bleeding from ovulation and if your doctor has checked you over recently and all is fine then I wouldn't worry. If it happens again randomly maybe go in and ask about it, but I have had the odd one off like this a couple of times as do many.

Curious those lines are looking lovely

Welcome Calliebeachbum (can I call you CBB instead? I know it's like Celebrity Big Brother, but it's easier and I'm lazy). I'm also a poas addict and buy ICs (lots of them) and usually use them all lol

Ladders ... what am I spying on your thread?!? Wow! Super excited for you

Momtastic I don't know about FRER tbh. Here in the UK we have always had the flat type but their quality seems to have become a little rubbish since I first used them years ago.

Oh and Ladders, we do have the curved FRER in the UK available to order, but we don't have it in the shops to my knowledge. You can find them on Amazon for about £19 three pack but they take weeks to deliver and I don't know if there's a delivery charge.

PG, unfortunately my tests went blank again yesterday and af arrived so currently CD2 for me today but it's ok, I expected it anyway. Excited for you to test!

So yes, CD2 here for me. Didn't pan out, but as I said I expected this to happen again. Changing things a little, taking EPO and twice the B complex and possibly twice vit D and folic acid but I have to check again to make sure I won't be taking too much. I ordered FSH tests which in all honesty I'm scared to use for what the result may be, but it will hopefully be helpful anyway

Ladders, whaaat?! Come here and update please!
