June, month of new beginnings! Thread for laughter, support and POAS! 19 BFP!

[hunni12]

It feels like stomach cramps. I tried to poop and that didnt help it at all .

 

[Bug222]

hunni- hopefully it is bean snuggling in cramps!!!

Krissy- fxd it is implantation

AFM- 6dpo- really gassy, tired and moody... a great combination lol getting occasional cramps low down. My temp this am totally confused FF- not it says it can't accurately detect ov. I was pretty sporatic with temping so there are lots of blanks and the 23 days of spotting/bleeding didn't help when my cycles were pretty much always 25 days before MC. FF has been telling me AF is due the next day for a week now lol.

 

[KrissyB]

I wanna hear some inspirational stories!!

Melly & Confuzion - how are you lovely ladies and the little bumps doing??

 

[Bluebearmummy]

Hi Ladies hope your all well! Still away on holiday so not had a chance to read through posts but thought I would update! Well 22nd month of TTC an AF got yesterday but really light and bright red (not like normal) anyway really don't no what else to try now I think it's time to give up hope everyone is okay x x

 

[MellyH]

Doing well so far Krissy - officially four days late! The nurse made me nervous with her 'it's a faint positive, come back and try again in a week' comment so every day is a victory at the moment.

No symptoms. No nothing! Quiet on the southern front, you might say.

 

[confuzion]

Things are well here too. Symptoms are minimal thus far. And being a paranoid mess, I concur with Melly, everyday is a victory! Still counting DPOs , 31 today!

 

[wantbump]

Melly and Confuzion from your posts it seems like the worry never leaves Wish you both a very very healthy and happy 9 months, hope the first trimester goes away quickly without too many painful symptoms!!

Deal, Krissy, I am very excited for you guys, it all looks really promising so far! Congrats on the beautiful LP, Deal!

Cheeky, I'm sorry sweetie *hands over the hot water bottle and the red wine*

pinkturtle - can you lay out for us exactly the dates of your last proper full period, the light 'period', and when you think you ovulated? It's hard to recreate what happened from your post!

Well... my last proper period was..
April 12th same ol' same ol'.
Then..
May 13th dark red spotting in the morning, I thought I was catching AF just as it was starting so I used a tampon, couple hours later, nothing! Period. The end. BFN May 15th.
Then...
June 10th red when I went pee. June 11th nothing. June 12th a little more red when I went pee to the point I used a pantiliner. Then nothing past that..
June 15th - June 16th very light pink spotting when I wipe.

(Normal for me is about every 30 - 31 days, very heavy, long (at least 8 days) and painful)

BBM - Has AF continued? Are you sure it was AF? FXed that maybe she didn't find you yet this month.

Melly - Have you taken any more tests at home to see if the line has gotten darker? That's so aggrevating that the nurse was so dismissive, but no AF is no AF!

Confuzion - That is so funny that you're still counting DPO! With my DD I really had no symptoms to speak of until maybe around 7-8 weeks, and even then it was just a full kind of feeling down there and needing to pee a LOT.

So excited for you both! FXed for a H&H 9 months ahead!

AFM - No more spotting.... The one time I wiped it was bright red but only a spot or two. Next time I had to pee there might have been the FAINTEST brown spot (It's amazing how comfortable you get putting TP to your face lol). Now all is clear. Please stay away you nasty old and may these cramps be a bean making a nice comfy home. DPO 7 - my lucky number

And Hunni - FXed for the same thing for you

Hey Captain!!! whereabouts in Van are you? Im in Surrey

The bloodwork they do as a routine thing. They will have taken a CBC, Chem panel, HCG, a crossmatch (to determine your blood type) and a bunch to test for STDs. The cross match goes to Canadian blood services, the STD testing goes to the main CDC lab and all the others go to a local lab for processing. Your Dr should have the results of the stuff from the local lab tomorrow, the other stuff may take a couple of days.

You can sign up online at a website called myehealth.ca and you will be able to view your own lab results that are processed at a BC BioMedical lab or LifeLabs. If you go for bloodwork in the am it is usually updated on their system by the evening!

Thats awesome you are able to keep the secret to surprise him!

Hi Bug! I'm actually on the island in Nanaimo!

Thanks for the reply! I had the blood taken around 10/11AM so I'm hoping they call sometime today!

Hey there! :wave: I live on Vancouver island too - in Sidney. Great to have some other BC'ers on here! And great for all those medical questions too. and to you both!

 

[hunni12]

So I was planning on taking a FRER in the morning but when I got home from work I was like oh what the heck, I only have 3 ICs left I'll just take on. And look what I got!! This pic is with no photo color retouching!! 9DPO today.

 

[MellyH]

wantbump - I was totally prepared to not be worried and to be on the 'I'll assume everything is fine until it's not' train, but the nurse derailed me! Stupid nurse.

Krissy, I have the second test from the box at home, I might use it tomorrow morning to see. I don't have the first test anymore (just the picture) so I'd have to compare pictures. 7DPO is the perfect day for implantation bleeding!

 

[MellyH]

Ooooh Chelsea! I see lines!

 

[confuzion]

I see lines too!

 

[KrissyB]

Hey Hunni - Sorry if this is gross - but could describe what you're seeing? It's not that clear from the pic.

Chelsea - FXed for you! I'm a terrible line spotter, but it should keep getting darker by the day now if you're seeing things already!

And for people who temp - When AF is on her way, do your temps dip the same day and/or before she shows up? Or do you get some spotting before the temp drop?

 

[wantbump]

Chelsea good luck! I am terrible at seeing lines too, is it clearer in real life?

 

[wantbump]

Melly stupid nurse for sure - you think after being trained they'd know to be more sensitive!

 

[hunni12]

Cant wait to see the frer chelsea!!

Krissy its like watery cm but very light brown in color

 

[chelsealynnb]

Chelsea good luck! I am terrible at seeing lines too, is it clearer in real life?

Yes it's much clearer in real life. Here is another pic
