No, it's not accurate; I tried to take it off, but it didn't work. I'll try again. My last period was April 24th. My last two cycles were 35 and 39 days. I am at day 32. Is it possible to be Implantation bleeding? Not sure. It's felt sooner that I've been cramping. I had a particularly bad cramp last night for 10 min. I woke up and showered and felt up in there a bit and it was pink.

I haven't kept as good of track of timing as I had the previous months! I was feeling a little more defeated this month. I think maybe I'll go get some tests after work today and see. I'm definitely spotting though. I'm semi itchy, so hoping not just yeast infection irritating and causing bleeding.

Ok, I was thinking that was very late in your cycle to o. Around which cd have you suspected you o'd in the past? I'm trying to figure out how many dpo you are to determine if it might be implantation bleeding or if it's more likely spotting leading up to AF. It could be either, but on cd 32 it seems more likely to be spotting. That still doesn't count you out, though! You're not out until AF shows. It couldn't hurt to grab some tests just to see if anything shows at this point. It's really difficult to say if you should see something at this point unfortunately.

Welcome puffers.

Our ladies have given great advice already. I found temping to be beneficial even with my anxiety disorder. It actually kept me more in the loop so I felt less in the dark.

I agree a talk with a dr about irregular cycles, plus OPKs, could all be beneficial.
As for cm.. I have virtually none during my year TTCing. but during the years and years on BC I have it. I think our bodies just do whatever and rarely stick to the 'norm'. If you start tracking your temp and using opks and find you ARE ovulating with no good cm, you can look into using preseed during your fertile time. I did and think it definitely helped. (it's a sperm friendly lube you insert in you before your BD session)

Thanks all! I did an implantation calculater and it seems this bleeding could be implantation based on that. It gave me yesterdays date. Hmmm. I will have to stop at wally world for some tests after work. I have had cycles that were 45 days, so i really just gave no clue. I may go see a doctorsoon if not preg this cycle.
Has anyone used evening primrose before?

 

[puffers121]

I am realizing now that different threaads are groups thanks for the welcome and quick responses!! I am so wanting a baby. My husband and i got married in october last year and we started trying in Feb

 

[lenorajoy]

I've heard of evening primrose being used during pregnancy, but I haven't looked into what it's used for. Good luck!! Looking forward to seeing some more test porn.

 

[puffers121]

Thanks. I forgot to stop at the store, but going to go out soon. I have been crampy and nauseous all day long. May be way too early to test, but who knows.

 

[puffers121]

Freaking out. This showed up instantly

 

[lenorajoy]

Well it's officially not too early to test! Congrats!!
Have you told DH?

 

[FLArmyWife]

oh my congrats!!

 

[puffers121]

I told him... Of course he worked until 8 pm tonight!!! I was so antsy and sat on the front porch waiting for him. lol.

We're over the moon!! Now what? O_O I have no idea what's next now. I can't believe it's happening and scared it's not real! I did another test and it was just as strong. It's really dark. I'm 32 days and didn't think my period would be due for at least a few more days. The last time my cycle was 32 days was maybe two years ago. I'm wondering how it's so dark so early. I think I am at 10 DPO now that I look at the calendar.

Congrats puffer! Just breathe. Next step is to call your doc. He/she may want to take blood work. Or just schedule an ultrasound for a few weeks from now. Check out the 1st trimester section of the forum as well. But lots of ladies here have babies so advice and support is in abundance in this fab family of ours. So you can stay for your 9 months and beyond.

 

[lenorajoy]

That's very dark for 10dpo! I wonder if you may have ovulated earlier than you thought considering you didn't have the usual ewcm to go by. Having irregular cycles makes it difficult to estimate!

So exciting, another bfp! It never gets old. I hope you'll stick around during pregnancy! And I hope first trimester is easy on you.

 

[puffers121]

Yeah, I'm confused as to when I ovulated at all... All I can definitely say is I'm at 32 days and it just feels extremely early for everything. I'm feeling very nauseous . Have had mild cramps for days. Boobs are sore last few days. Here are my two tests now. Just trying to figure out how it got to be so strong so fast and so early. I'm feeling puzzled and wish I kept better track of things this time lol.

Crazy moment today at work. It's about a student in another Deaf Ed class (I work in a regular deaf ed classroom and the other class is for intellectual disabilities on top of deafness). Anyway this student rarely interacts with me and she came up to me during recess, smiled at me and then looked down and patted my lower belly (not where I a little more of a tummy lol) and waved at my belly. It was then I was really wondering. What perception though, right?

 

[lenorajoy]

Wow, I can't believe how dark they are!! I don't think I ever actually saw tests that dark. I stopped testing once I had a clear bfp.

How sweet about the student! Whenever I hear stories like that I wonder how it's even possible. It does always seem to be those with disabilities or the very young. They must be in tune with something most of us are not. Or possibly they're just not afraid to be wrong about a hunch. They're carefree and innocent and open to anything.

 

[puffers121]

Right. I'm so confused as to how they're so dark. The pee didn't make it to the other end of the stick yet when it was fairly dark already. Did I miss something last time w/ my cycle? Could I have been pregnant longer? My last cycle was 39 days and had a normal length period ending april 28th. I just initiated contact w/ an OB, so will figure it out soon. I'm excited, but just need the baby to stick.... My mom has a history of a lot of fertility issues and so I worry. However, her mom had 7 kids and no problems whatsoever...

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

IMO, ( and i have been at this 10yrs) youre farther than 10dpo. Im guessing youre around 5wks.

-------
No, i really dont think im going to O this cycle. Just a feeling. I wont go up to the usual 100mg next, ill go to 75mg Clomid.

Ill keep testing and temping of course. I am having O pains and what i think is EWCM but i have had that before and not Od. Geared up and no cigar.

 

[lenorajoy]

They should be able to give a good estimate at your first ultrasound. I'm guessing you're farther along than you think you are!

I hope you're wrong, Onerth. I really hope you're wrong.

 

[FLArmyWife]

oh onerth I hope you do O.


puffers, I agree I think you are farther along
