Hi there,
I am new to this forum but thought I could use a little guidance/input/support...whatever you want to call it.
My hubby and I have been ttc for 3 months now. I bought some OPK this past month to pinpoint my fertile time. I got a positive on march 26th and we DTD that night. I got another positive on the 27th so I had intentions of DTD that night but my husband fell asleep after a long day at work. Then I think I felt myself ovulate on the 28th. We DTD again on the 29th. I started getting unusual symptom for me on around 6dpo,which included light cramping (this is usually tooearly for me to get cramping) tender bbs, and my skin was HORRIBLE. I am prone to the odd pimple here or thereabout a week or so before AF but I broke out like I was a teenager again - it was horrible and it continued for over one week. My skin still isn't very good. Anyways, then around 9dpo I noticed some light brown discharge when I wiped with toilet paper. I thought AF as early so I put a pad in but nothing all day until maybe 2 very little brown spots at the end of the day. This went on for the next 3 days..still having light cramping but no AF. I was hopig this was implantation as it fell into the right time frame (9dpo) Finally I was 2 days late for AF when I noticed some more intense cramping on my left side (this is the same side I feel I ovulated from) and then a few hours later AF showed....heavy. Besides being disappointed (thought maybe my strange symptoms indicated a BFP!) I am confused as I have never had this weird brown discharge before and am wondering if anyone has only when TTC though.
So my question is....has anyone had an experience like ths while TTC? I am worried that it could indicate smething less than positive regarding fertility, I dunno. It's just really odd for me. I am 28 and do have thyroid problems but I have been working with my endocrinologist to get that regulated so we have the best chances of conceiving. My thyroid was balanced and at a good level for optimal chances when I tested last month.
Any input or shared experiences would be great here. Also, I am going to try temping this month along with using OPK - can I use a regular thermo?
Thanks everyone!
