Assuming it is the same you need to set up a homepage url

It looks like you need to be a paying member of fertility friend in order to setup a hyperlink for it. I'll just copy it into the post here every once in awhile.

Has anyone on here had a super light period and still gotten pregnant? I'm wondering if AF needs to be really normal "medium flow" in order to know yur functioning properly?

AF last monthfor me was 5 days but really light. Never got a pad dirty, always just had stuff when I wiped, and i got a BFN. Today and yesterday I think ive had more this time than the entire last time. But i am pretty positive i o last month, so who knows! I am just as confued as you jenn!

I bought super sized tampons...didn't realize that's what I had purchased...I probably use 3-4 a day just to be "clean"...when I remove them they are usually 20% full I would say...if that...I'm going to switch the light size this afternoon to get a better read...I wasnt really tracking BBT in May but again my shot wear off date was May 15th. From May 15th until light period started I never had that egg white CM...either creamy or watery...no egg white. Were you tracking CM before AF?

I wasnt officially tracking. I could tell when it changed based on potty trips, but wasnt paying real close attention. I started checking after 1st AF disappeared.

 

[missjenn]

I'll be paying close attention to it after this AF is done.

Hi ladies

I got my bfp 14.06.12 a year and 2 weeks after my last shot. Its still very early days though. to everyone needing it xxx

 

[missjenn]

YAY!! That's fantastic news!!!!!!! You must be over the moon!!

 

[tinkerbellsie]

YAY!! That's fantastic news!!!!!!! You must be over the moon!!

Thanks I am- and rather shocked lol. A little worried as was testing from early on- and have been bleeding since 9dpo through to 13dpo but its very light and not like normal af.. So am desperately hoping it sticks xx

 

[missjenn]

Tons of "sticky" baby dust your way!

Since you mentioned light...what do most people consider a light bleed anyway? I'm trying to figure out if I am on an actual light period? Three days now....seems light...but this is my first period in 10 years so I honestly don't remember what is normal.

 

[sherylb]

I would say a pantiliner being enough and maybe 1 change during the daytime.

 

[sla545]

Congrats tinkerbellsie!!!!

 

[sla545]

I agree with sherylb. If I am having to change liners a few times a day or tampons every couple of hours, it is medium or heavy.

 

[tinkerbellsie]

By light I am using 2 pantyliners a day, I'm not changing them cos they're full but because I just need to change them every time I go to the loo (which is twice at work) and sometimes only has a drop or two on there. Xxx

 

[missjenn]

Thanks ladies, I will consider my flow to be light then. On my 4th day with first light period so hopefully when this is done it means we will on our first TTC month! That's if I ovulate which I will hopefully be able to tell with my chart!

How are you this morning tinkerbellsie?

 

[sherylb]

Be as consistent as you can with times. There were plenty of times I woke up, took my temp, put it in my phone and rolled back over. If you have to get up a little earlier to go to the bathroom you can temp then. I did that and it didn't ever affect my chart enough to bother anything.

 

[missjenn]

Thanks for the advice! I've been doing the temp..rollover and back to sleep already ha! Today was my fifth day on my first period after depo so hopefully this "trying time" starts in a few days!

 

[missjenn]

SO yesterday was my last AF day. When should I start using an OPK?

SO yesterday was my last AF day. When should I start using an OPK?

I started using them on CD9 i think. I figured that way if I O early I would catch it, plus it gave me a chance to get use to deciphering the lines to tell if they were positive or not. By the time I got my Positive OPK, I was sure because I had seen alot of the variation in what the negative OPK looked like. Post your tests if you have any doubt about whether they are positive and you will get feedback!
