Hello! My husband and I (both 31) are TTC #1. This is our second month of trying, but our first month of monitoring (BBT, OPK, and CBFM).
I am currently 11 dpo, but started having brown spotting at 10 dpo with dull af-like cramping. We timed everything perfectly, so after getting some symptoms last week, I thought this was going to be our month. Now I am slightly discouraged and I am trying to wait out on testing to avoid the disappointment of a BFN. I was wondering if anyone experienced what I am right now and resulted in success to ease my anxiety during the wait. I am also concerned because I usually start brown spotting 7 days before my period is due. My time line of events are below!
CD18 = O day
1 dpo = O spotting, EWCM, nips are sensitive
2 dpo = Sticky CM (per definition from fertilityfriend.com), nip still sensitive
3 dpo = Sticky CM
4 dpo = Sticky CM, On/off miold af-like cramps. Few minor twinges/pinching in the morning.
5 dpo = Sticky CM, On/off twinging/pinching
6 dpo = Sticky CM, bbs sore and feeling fuller
7 dpo = Creamy CM, Sharp pain on right side when I stood up too fast (sometimes this happens though, may not be abnormal)
8 dpo = Slight headache, woke up to numb left leg (weird), strong Af-like dull aches upon waking (reallllly abnormal. I never have AF cramps this early)
9 dpo = Sticky CM, Vivid dream last night, woke up sweaty, Severe headache, flutter in uterus? like it was having spasms, strong Af-like dull aches upon waking
10 dpo = Some sticky CM, but then spotting started around noon (I usually start spotting 7 days before my period is due, so today was right on track with when I should start spotting should AF come), Af-like dull ache all day
11 dpo = Spotting seemed heavier and darker, no sticky CM mixed in. Still have Af-like dull aches, Bbs really sore when I woke up. Temps were steady post-O at 97.9, but today it dropped to 97.7....
