2-3 DPO, anyone else??

[myvirgoways]

Sooooo I woke up today to some spotting and have noticed spotting every time I've gone to the bathroom today. I am only 7DPO but feeling crampy today. I think the witch came early. What do you ladies think?

Is spotting normal for you sometimes before AF? or does AF come super early sometimes? It would be very unusual for me to spot that soon before my period.

What color is it? Brown and pink could be implantation spotting! But red isn't supposed to be a good sign.

I started Clomid last cycle to help lengthen my luteal phase. It was around 9 days usually, but sometimes would be 11. Well last cycle with the Clomid it was only 8. Now this month only 7, if this is truly my period. This month I am taking progesterone too. I was wishing it was implantation bleeding, but it feels so much like my period is coming now. =( It is still brownish spotting though.

I used to have normal cycles until I took Celexa for anxiety. The first month I was on it, my periods changed and became very spotty before regular flow. I went off of it last January, but my periods haven't returned to normal. So right now they are spotty at first for about three or four days then regular flow. If Clomid and progesterone can't fix my luteal phase problem, what other options are there?

Hi myvirgoways!
Another rainy day for us.. yay. I'm still waiting to find out it if I OV'd this month, I should find out today. I don't know what the next step would be for you, but I'm hoping you don't have to find out! It's time for some good news!

Just got the call from my doctor... I officially OVULATED!!!

This is awesome news!!! Yay!!! Thank you so much for the well wishes. Who would have thought TTC would be so difficult???

So what was your official ovulation day? When will you be looking for a BFP? Did they do a progesterone test to see if you ovulated? I always ovulated but my progesterone levels would come back at 6 or 7, which are poor!

It is definitely a Winnie the Poo and the Blustery Fall Day here in the mitten. =)

Again, how AWESOME to receive such good news on a Monday!

I never thought it would be so hard... all those years of birth control and condoms, seems a little silly now.
I don't know for sure what my official ovulation day was. I think it was the 15th or 16th. They did the progesterone test, and I didn't ask the numbers, she called me and said "looks like you definately ovulated"
This is maybe the best Monday ever

So what were your BD days/pattern this month??

 

[Petzy]

Ok so I am about 8-9 DPO if all was correct.... I have been cramping on and off pretty consistently since estimated O day.... it normally starts for me a couple days before AF or not at all - so that is definitely odd but I could just be paying more attention... today BB's are sore - normal for me at this time BUT they are always sore on the sides - never on top/front which is the only place they are store right now. I also had these little shooting star pains in them last night... I have a light dull ache in my right-ovary area.... I dont know if that means anything!

I am officially day 4 of no caffeine and 1 week on Materna... the things we do!

Hey Petzy! Why did you decide to give up caffeine? I have been considering as well, but would be curious to know the details. Thanks! =)

Well I read that it doubles your chance of MC in early pregnancy, as well as contribute to trouble conceiving:

More info:

It appears that although there is debate about it... it is just not worth it. For fertility OR pregnancy it is bad..... So why bother? It sucks but I will just quit for now... I am drinking decaf coffee, etc.. and sticking to soda without caffeine like 7up, rootbeer, etc....

I think they say limit it to 200mg caffeine a day to be safe

So what were your BD days/pattern this month??

We had our dancing shoes on pretty much every day during that week, every other towards the end (when I figure I OV'd) and lots during the other parts (almost every other day).. just in case lol.
We are nothing if not diligent.

I also gave up caffiene about 6 months ago, well mostly gave up, I miss my morning coffee, I miss my soda some, but I do still occasionally pick up a coffee drink at Biggby (which is like starbucks but better).
I got horrible headaches when I did, which is why I'll probably never start back up, I was a bit of an addict

As for the BD, sounds like you have your bases covered - FX for you that is just fabulous... eeeeek i am excited!

 

[CloverMouse]

Thanks I am sorry about your head, but it is worth it in the long run... right?
I dont know how I'm going to survive this week.

[CloverMouse]

I'm trying to hold out until the 3rd

Good for you. I am not playing the testing game unless AF is late.....MyMonthlyCycles says I am due Saturday Oct 1st as my average cycle is 30 days. Its been pretty accurate lately.

 

[Petzy]

Oh crap and low back pain - I have had low back pain for two days - not in the norm for me really...

 

[kissesandhugs]

Good Morning Ladies!!!!! I haven't been on all weekend bc my laptop is down and it's just a pain on my phone. Congrats to Clovermouse for ovulating and GL to all the other ladies waiting . Oh, and to you michiganders on here-I was Born and raised in the mitten too!! Still living here and it's a rainy, crappy day ugh! Ready for the sunshine again.

As for me, I am 8 DPO and this weekend was hell for me (or heaven IF i happen to be pregnant ) Whole body was just achy, mostly back pain and rib pain?? Idk what that was about. Definetly got some AF cramps, hoping it's not AF herself. and today, my face broke out horribly!! Worst it's been in a long time :/ hope it's not from getting my implanon out OR AF!!

Also, extremely vivid dreams. CRAZY vivid dreams, I had a dream that me and OH were getting married on VERY short notice, He had my wedding dress on and I had a tux on?!?!? But, I made him trade bc I wanted to wear my wedding dress LMAO. Oh! And I tried calling my mom to have her come to the wedding but my cousin answered and said "It's October, She's DRUNK!!" and I was so upset she couldn't come hahahahah. Oh lord. I woke up thinking it was real too until I fully awoke and realized it was a dream
Anyways,
Fxxxx that those are baby symptoms!!!

How's everyone this Monday??

 

[afterglow]
