what do you class as a af?

[mintypeas]

well i posted on here last week about not having a af but after my positive opk i had a very slight bleed which i didnt even need a panty liner it lasted 3 days. so do i class this as my af? not sure what to think but the dates work out right. but i thought your 1st af should be heavy so any help ladies would be great x sylvia x

Hi Mintypeas! My first AF was similar to yours and I am considering that my first. I have decided to wait one more (hopefully next week) before we really start trying again (we had a few oopsies last week). I was like you and thought that it should be really heavy, but I have read the next one can get you too. Only time will tell. If the timing seems right, I think I would count it.

 

[mintypeas]

thanks honey that helps alot. that makes my af 2 days late so gonna leave testing til middle of the week if i can resist!!! lol x sylvia x

 

[Dazed]

Good luck. Hope you get your BFP soon. Sending some baby dust your way.

My first AF after my first loss was similar to yours - very very light for about 3 days tops. I've heard that this can be normal after MC and especially after ERPC which is what I had. From reading on here it seems that the 2nd AF after MC can be the worst one - no medical evidence for this - just from what I've read on here.

Anyway lots of luck for your TTCAL journey hun x x x

 

[mintypeas]

thanks ladies you have helped put my mind at rest. i see doctor on monday to get checked out but i now keep getting really bad cramps so think it could be any day for the witch to appear. i also read that the 2nd af can been worse so cant wait for that!!! lol x sylvia x

 

[NatoPMT]

yeah defo can be anything from very light to very heavy

may the witch be with you

 

[mintypeas]

have never wished for the witch to visit so much in my life!! lol xsylvia x

 

[NatoPMT]

haha

i have never been so excited to see her sylv

next month, she'd better be gone or we will not be friends again.

 

[mintypeas]

at the moment i just want to be the best of friends with the witch!! every twinge i think yeah here we go but nothing and keep getting bfns so i know she is lurking!! lol x sylv x
you must feel so much relief for getting her as you know your body is now back to normal and you can try again!! x

 

[Dazed]

I hear you on the wishing part. So far the witch is a no show for me. Did one test yesterday that my kitten knocked down the sink drain before I could read it, and another this morning that was BFN. I wish she would hurry up so I can start trying again.

 

[NatoPMT]

yes, defo, i have to say i was worried about it being very light as i had ERPC - i was worried my lining would have been too thin so had it been light, id have tried to get a scan to see how the lining was shaping up. Id been taking aspirin so not sure if its helped, but the period is a proper one so defo feel relieved and back to some normality.

im sending witchy vibes atcha

 

[NatoPMT]

the kitten story keeps making me giggle inappropriately.

 

[Dazed]

Unfortunatly it didn't make me giggle when it made me late getting back to work. But now I can see the humer in it. My hubby was kinda blank. Ooh well, praying for the witch today!!

 

[mintypeas]

i have got to the point that everyday she dont show up i do a test i feel like im going mad!! am i the only on e doing this? thank god i found the cheap tests on ebay otherwise this would cost me a fortune!!! lol x sylvia x
how long have you been ttc honey? x

 

[NatoPMT]

thats why i said inappropriately, i bet it didnt make you laugh at the time but theres defo a comic touch to it. Sorry bout the goddamn bfn.

i was doing opks every day for 20 days. thank crap for 25 for £2.99 on ebay.

 

[Dazed]

I have been holding the urge to test. I did pretty good if you ask me. Before the mc it was "typically" 31days, but we had a few mishaps in the begginning of the month.
I was NTNP for 5months, tried in January and succeeded. Unfortunatly thats where it all went down hill cause a few days after my BFP i started bleeding and eventually mc'ed. So not as long as some up here, but I hope I have my youth on my side.

 

[Dazed]

I don't think I will use OPK's until I am desperate. I don't mind the giggling. I really only told the story because some days TCCAL needs a good laugh. I am actually not too concerned for the BFN as, like I said, I am waiting for 2nd AF to help make sure I am back to normal.

 

[mintypeas]

well ladies you have made me smile and its a good day!! want the witch to appear then oh can become my performing seal again!! lol
and must say i did giggle when i read about the kitten x sylv x

 

[Dazed]

OK, now you made me giggle!
