BFN @ 10 dpo

[Acal]

Hi all,

I am completely new to this forum but would love some advice and hopefully I can return the favour at some point. I have two boys and have been TTC for around 9 months, before that it was not trying not preventing for well over a year. My cycles have been a bit off - ranging from 27 days to 31 days, but with a lot of spotting mid cycle each month, AF lasts 3 days but is heavy. Anyway, long story short, this cycle I didn't OV until day 23 (got + opk on day 22). We BD only on day 23 as DH was away until then. I've been a bit thrown by the lateness of OV as it is usually early in the cycle. Since OV my temps have steadily increased every day from 36.8 up as high as 37.4 yesterday which was 10 dpo. Today it's 37.2 at 11 dpo, still high but I got a BFN this morning I'm pretty sure from what I have read that I am triphasic in my chart this month. My temp has been over 37 for five days in a row now. I'm not sick so that wouldn't account for it. BB's starting to get sore this morning, they are usually agony from ovulation until AF. I think I would be showing a BFP by now if I was PG so I really have to let go (again).

So, given the time this is taking (considering with both DS's it only took 2 months to conceive), do you think I need to see doctor? I guess another thing to add is that DH works abroad and commutes home every weekend or every other weekend so that probably accounts for some of the difficulty (but not all as he's been home at time of OV the last 5 cycles). Is spotting mid-cycle a sign of low progesterone?

Thanks so much for reading - feeling like I have no-one to talk to about this as no-one knows I am TTC.

I don't have much advice but only 5 months of well timed intercourse is early to see a doctor I think. mid cycle spotting may be related to ovulation, some ladies have spotting during ov. time.
good luck xx

Thanks girls, I really appreciate your replies.
I think really it's 5 months of perfect timing of intercourse, but a lot longer of what I would have considered to be good timing. Anyway, it probably is too soon to get too panicked about it. Thanks for the baby dust Charliekay - back at you!! I have a Charlie too, about a year older than yours xx
