Is this Day 1 or not?

Super weird cycle this month. The longest I have had since 2017 and I think it may have been anovulatory. Anyway, brown spotting is now pink blood when I wipe but still not flowing and cramping so is this Day 1 of my FET? Or should I wait till I am certain. Need to know because I can’t start meds until i’ve had a scan to see if this pesky cyst has resolved.

Thanks you xxxx

My clinic told me that the first day of my period is a bleed that started before 1pm on that day and if it was after 1pm, the 1st day of period will be next day. That is their protocol but your clinic might be different. Maybe give nurses a call to make sure x

Thanks ladies. I don’t think I am full flowing yet. Definitely doesn’t feel like it. I rang the clinic and they are going to scan me tomorrow anyway. I pray full flow gets going and wipes this cyst out. I have never wanted a heavy period so much in my whole life :)

Ohhhhh I hope you are right. I am worried that my af being later than usual is a sign that the cyst is playing a role. Butttt I am going to bleed that shit out :) PMA is on. Hopefully, I will start full flow tonight, know any secret remedies for getting it to come in? Xxxxxx

I lady here told me about eating dry fruits. Funny enough i had some dry apricots and af came within 2 hours. Just a coincidence that made me think ohh it does work hahah

Hey. Thanks Diane. Cramps seem to be building now but you are right the scan will show me what is up.

Can’t go ahead. Cyst is bigger. Back to square 1. Feeling so angry. I had this surgery to deal with hydros so I am now sterilised and now this, what is going on? When am I going to catch a break? Feeling so angry and exhausted

Hopefully won't take too long. Sometimes i get so angry you know. For me i have been into this journey for not so long but others struggle so much and takes them so long... Mum's best friend tried for 10 years and had 10 failed ivfs... He lining is so thin now so nothing can attach... My colleague haf unprotected sex few times last Year and had 2 abortions... So out for fun and killing somebody else's dream... That makes me so so angry.... But im sure soon will be all good and life will bring great things to you all and myself including 😍🤗😍😍😍 If i can do anything for you or you just want to talk sometimes you can always send me a text. Xxxx
