[mzswizz]

It is now 3dpo. Not really feeling no difference other than tired. Will keep everyone posted.

 

[mzswizz]

I think u could be having symptoms because every woman is different so you can be experiencing early while others experience late. Good. Luck

hello! ive been ttc ever since my son passed away 6 months ago.
I had the exact samething. i have had spotting kind of pinkish to a brown and red. for the past 4 days i dont know what is going on i thought it was ov spotting but now i dont know 4 days is to long for ov spotting? my boobs are a sore and itchy but maybe i hurt myself when i started running again on tues cause i started spotting the day after. i dont know what to do ive never had this.

 

[mzswizz]

I would say continue charting to see how long it lasts. When was your next AF due. When this happened to me it was just a whacky AF hopefully you get your BFP good luck

 

[gueyilla1985]

my is not due till 4 feb. that is why i i was hoping it was just ov spotting

 

[mzswizz]

My AF is due Feb. 2nd so we are close in cycle. Good luck

My AF is due Feb. 2nd so we are close in cycle. Good luck

how many day cycle do you have? i have a 35-37 depends

 

[mzswizz]

I am now 4dpo. The only thing that is different for me is I am eating a little more and I crave more sweets. Right now, I am just waiting to see if I get IB. So I am just playing the waiting game. Loads of baby dust to the February BFP Team!!

I have a 33-35 day cycle. I see our cycles are similar.

hey girls, thought I'd drop in again... I caved in yesterday and ended up POAS i was 10dpo, im now 11dpo... i took a picture of the test under blue light, i could see a faint line but my camera wouldnt pick it up... there is a half circle on the test which is just an imprint of the case and so is shadowed... please tell me what you all think... I'm going to test again on Friday with another FRER...

 

[mzswizz]

I definitely see another line there. Would you be able to see an evap line under a blue light? Also, if I were you I would try a digital test just in case because I hear that the digitals are good too. I have used clearblue digital the last time I was pregnant. Good luck and keep us posted but I do see a line there!!!!! I am only at 5 dpo so I have awhile to go still which is hard for me but I am trying so hard.

 

[mcsmyth1]

thanks mszwiz i really am hoping to hold off til friday cuz i will be 14dpo then... i have been taking B complex vitamins as my luteal phase was just a little short,,,which i now believe was my problem last month when i had the mmc... after charting this month (and i wasnt sure how the B vits would affect my cycle) i ovulated day 11 of my 27 day cycle... which is fantastic! i would definitely reccommend B complex vits for anyone with a short LP (hopefully this wasnt just a coincidence...

I am going to take another FRER on friday, and depending on the line, Ill decide whether or not to buy a digital (i obviously will though anyway! lol)

I wish you all the best for this month I really do,,, it seems we had the exact same experience last month, so here's hoping we have the same experience this month, a :BFP: that is

How are you feeling? any symptoms?

hope anyone else on the thread comments on that test i posted as I really dont know the difference between evap and positive, i didnt know what an evap even was until i joined baby and bump...

 

[mzswizz]

Took a test today but it was negative of course because it is too early but my husband wanted to make sure. I have started to feel tired alot and hungry. Will keep you posted.

 

[mzswizz]

Good morning everyone. I finally was able to get my ticker to display today. Well it says that today I am 6 DPO so it is very exciting to see that I ovulated on the 20th. Hopefully I did because the husband and I BD'd that day also just in case. My AF is due Feb. 2nd and I am trying my best to try and wait until then to test. Even though I tested yesterday @ 5 DPO which came back negative of course, I am patiently waiting. It seems like this time my husband is more impatient than I am lol. I looked at an online ovulation calendar which stated that I ovulated on the 20th and I should have implantation around the 29th and possible implantation spotting on the 30th. Also it said that today, the egg has made it's way inside my uterus. I pray that this is true. Yesterday, I felt a few cramps kind of like AF cramps but not as bad. The only difference I noticed is I sleep more and eat more. I slept so long in the day that when last night came around I couldn't get any sleep whatsoever so I am kind of on reserved energy. Well I will keep everyone posted.

hi everyone,

i'm new - both to the forums and to TTC - and confused!

here's my story...

my husband and i recently decided to TTC. i stopped taking bcp (which i took for 10 yrs) 3 days after i started a new pack. so i got my regularly scheduled AF the week of 12/19, and then got it again two days after i stopped taking the bcp, on 12/31.

I wasn't sure if I'd know when I was ovulating, if I even did at all - but I definitely did on 1/13, day 14 of my cycle. I had a dramatic increase in libido that week, change in CM, and very clearly felt pulsing ovulation pains on 1/13coming from my right ovary.

9DPO (1/22) I noticed a brown discharge. It wasn't very much. The next day there was a tiny bit of blood, but it was still mostly brown. It was actually pretty gross - little pieces of dark brown tissue (sorry, TMI). The next day it wasn't much again, and was mostly gone after that (so it lasted barely 3.5 days). No cramping or anything, felt fine otherwise.

So my questions are...

Could my body just have been expelling old blood from my last AF (explaining the brownness) before my next AF, and this has nothing to do with TTC?

Was this just AF, even though it's about a week early and nothing like any AF I've ever had? A 9 day luteal phase seems pretty short?

Could that have been IB?

I guess I just don't know whether to expect the real AF later this week or not. This is so confusing!

Thanks for any advice and good luck to all!

First I would like to say welcome we are excited to have you here. In my opinion it can be IB but at the same time it can be your body readjusting itself back to normal from the BCP. I would say wait until your next normal AF is due to take a HPT. Because it can go either way but it sounds more like IB. Won't know for sure until you test. Just keep an eye open for any more symptoms and just test when you feel ready. I have seen women getting positives at 10 and 11dpo but I recommend waiting just so you know for sure. Good luck on your BFP!

Thanks for the feedback. These forums have been pretty helpful so far - it's nice to see people actively posting and sharing their experiences.

I went off of birth control for a few months a couple of years ago and my cycles were really normal - I never experienced anything like this, so hopefully that's a good sign.

I guess I'll just wait a few more days and see if the 'real' AF shows up. If not, I guess it can't hurt to take a hpt!
