nope, not a bad sign from what I know. I have spotted on every O day this year... wasn't spotting before but also wasn't ovulating.
I tend to spot 2 days before O which is likely related to the hormone surge.
Spotting on O day is more likely to be related to the egg bursting but might be related to hormones too.

the egg bursting? sounds bad.

 

[lisaf]

lol, I mean the egg bursting free from the follicle... was too lazy to say all that, but you're right, it sounds bad

 

[awaitingrmb]

LMAO. Well I hope that meant something good for us because I have ewcm (plentY) and it was a little brown later in the day. Sorry for being so gross.

 

[sequeena]

Hope you feel better soon hun

Hmmmm....I don't honestly know! I'm trying to google but my net is so slow at the minute because of the weather

 

[awaitingrmb]

Well googlequeen, I am feeling good. Thanks though. The reason I asked this is because when I ov'd, I was spotting a little on that day. IDK why though but was curious to ask now that I am reflecting back on the days.

 

[awaitingrmb]

Let me know when you find out quin!!

 

[awaitingrmb]

It just seems like that should be your nickname. I feel like we are actually close, close friends. I am giving you nicknames and all. LOL.

 

[sequeena]

I will let you know as soon as LOL quin that's quite good actually!!

My complaint is - it's been raining for over 24 hours and shows no signs of letting up, I'm almost 13 dpo and just want a positive test or a period (I hate this waiting!!) and my burger earlier tasted like cardboard.

Bleh!!

Oh and in jeans I've gone up a size! Not happy!

 

[awaitingrmb]

Hope this is for you quin!

Soooo frustrated with my OB and am now looking for a new one!! She refuses to run any tests to tell if I'm even ovulating at all until we've been trying for 12 months. When I first saw her after we had been trying for a couple months, I told her it had been almost 4 months since my last AF and that I had always been irregular. Now that it's a regular 40+ day cycle, she still won't test. And to top it off, since we had take a one month break due to eye surgery I had to have, she's extending the 12 month period to 18 months!!! From what I've read the 12 month period is only for those with a regular 28 day (avg) cycle, if you're irregular your OB should be trying to figure out why especially if your ttc. Oh yeah, and she's pregnant after "trying for 2 months so [she] understands my frustration" (her words)!!!! Ummmm, No YOU Don't! Whew, I feel better already.

OMG I feel you!!! my pregnant friend tried for 5 months and told me she knew how I felt when I was at the 10 month mark!
DEFINITELY find another doctor! I do recommend if you can, seeing a fertility specialist as I had the best experience with mine and it was not nearly as expensive as I had feared it would be! Find a doctor, GYN or Specialist who LISTENS to you and explains things to you and only makes you do/try things you feel comfortable with!

And yes... the 12 month rule ONLY applies to girls with a regular cycle that seems totally normal. As soon as something seems wrong (cycle length, no ovulation on a BBT chart or OPK etc) you can get help! The only exception is if you recently came off a hormonal birth control. Depo they definitely make you wait a year.. BCP they usually make you wait at least 6 months, some will make you wait a year etc.. If you had Mirena like me, then fertility should have resumed immediately.

And FYI, I started seeing a PA... got switched to a GYN when the PA thought I might not be ovulating... GYN totally dismissed me and told me to wait a 'few cycles' when I wasn't having ANY... switched to a new GYN who was willing to put me on clomid right away but did no monitoring and wouldn't up the dose even when I showed my progesterone wasn't hitting normal ranges...... saw an FS, put me on the higher dose of clomid, full monitoring and got my BFP... (all of this in the past 8-9 months).... I do not for one second regret being so pushy!!

 

[sequeena]

Girlies here is a chance from a rant... I am officially 13 dpo with no sign of af all could change in a few hours but I'm keeping the faith!

 

[lisaf]

YAY!!! hoping it turns into a BFP for you!!!

I am looking into that right away!!! If I'm ovulating and everything looks okay, I don't mind trying longer. I've already been looking at other OB in my network, but I'm going to look into an FS asap. Before I even looked into it, I thought it was weird that she wasn't concerned about my missing AF. I can't thank you enough!!

 

[Stash777]

Yay!! I hope it's your BFP!

Thanks girlies! Getting frustrated now as I just want to know!
