So I go to do a OPK and it is high but I had a bit of a check and I have some brown blood…. I guess AF is on her way, brown blood for me is normal before AF ( little bit of me hopes it’s not but just glad that this cycle is over even if it wasn’t what I expected the out come to be) I guess I ovulated late, how to go forward from this OPK every day, I can’t temp as my work makes it impossible. Strange I am getting a high LH but I will with it, if anything the fact that maybe I O’d a bit later and my cycle even if it was long for me is still in normal range is relief. But I never want to second guess my O again, as much as it is a long shot of me falling pregnant I’d much rather be informed.
I will kept you updated when it is full flow which I except tomorrow.
Good luck everyone waiting to test!

I think you can get a high LH right before AF....just another thing to confuse us.
I hope AF isn’t too brutal on you and wishing you luck over the summer.

Ladies I'm not feeling too hopeful.
Did an ic with fmu and barely anything there. Had to rush out but came back from the kids club, where I'd been a long walk, at 11.40 to find I'd been bleeding, bright red. Did a frer & easy@home with the smu but they are no darker than yesterday. Bleeding never ends well for me and I'm feeling a bit upset.
I'm between 10 and 13dpo...

3 days of frer ....oldest at top...

Yesterday and today's e@h. Oldest at top..

I have a bad feeling.

Hugs to you, I know how worrying a bleed is. I do think today’s tests look slightly darker however and I have everything tightly crossed for you that it’ll be ok. Try to rest up for the rest of the day if you can. Bleeding isn’t always bad..maybe the extra exercise caused a bit of a cervical bleed or something?

Thinking of you I know how worrying bleeding can be. I'm hoping it's nothing and everything will be fine

 

[BabyBrain80]

Thank you both x
I guess only time will tell. Just hoping

What the heck! I’m only day 2 of high fertility and just got this! A couple hours ago this morning I wasn’t surging yet. Only cd12, I usually get 3-4 days of high fertility before I start to see dark lines on an OPK! It’s not positive yet but it must be close no? We dtd this am but hubby didn’t finish . Too much pressure. Hopefully he can tonight or tomorrow and that will be enough, I had hoped O was a few days away so we had time. Getting anxious now we might miss it! I guess it only takes once but still. Cross your fingers ladies - looks like O is in the next day or two!

 

[Deethehippy]

@Alligator - I hope you get to BD tonight/tomorrow. Try to relax because sometimes you can surge well before O and other times not. Usually I O on my peak OPK day but this last cycle I'm pretty sure now it was the day after so things can change!

True! And I meant to put the photo up and forgot lol here it is!! Good advice, I will try not to stress and will try to jump hubby after our 3yo is asleep tonight. He works today so hopefully he’s game!! He felt bad this morning not finishing but at least he’s built some up over a couple days lol.
I just took another OPK and it’s lighter! Slightly. So that’s weird. I usually get a couple positive tests and my surge lasts a day. Who knows what’s up! I do feel a bit crampy but not what I usually associate with ovulation, more like period cramps (ovulation is more pulls/pokes/twinges). My body is all weird this cycle! I never got my act together to temp either so just winging it. If we BD tonight I’ll feel good about it but we haven’t for like 4 days hahah so definitely don’t feel good right now. But one good BD tonight will help me feel we’re in with a chance! Maybe tonight and then tomorrow too and we will see how the OPKs go. fx! Pray that my husband is game and able to finish the job tonight

 

[Rach87]

Sorry @BabyBrain80 I really hope its just some breakthrough bleeding and bubby is staying put. Todays test looks a little darker on both frer and cheapie.

@Alligator give hubby a drink or two to relax/seduce him lol

 

[BabyBrain80]

@Alligator good luck!! X

@Mum42crazy Sorry about this month, I still have hope for you, not out till at shows! Stranger things have happened! It's stressful I think when you don't know when o is, hopefully next cycle is easier....if this one fails. Good luck x

 

[BabyBrain80]

Thanks @Rach87, I took this a little while ago....3 hour hold and I'd drank coke too. Wasn't planning on doing anymore tests but I've been fretting all day. The bleeding stopped....well, it got much lighter, paler then more brown as the day went on. So only a few wipes full of bright blood this morning. I hope it's stopped but I still think it's no good.
Here is tonight's frer on the bottom, top one is yesterday afternoons...

 

[BabyBrain80]

This is a few in order...Sorry lighting isn't too great now and they don't look that clear

 

[Lucy3]

@Alligator hope you get some action tonight! Yep go seduce him!

@Mum42crazy hope you get some answers soon

@BabyBrain80 now I see your progression all together it looks good to me. I didn’t get a line till 11/12dpo! I tested from 8dpo but threw them out as there was the faintest line that didn’t really progress.

 

[Suggerhoney]

@BabyBrain80 tonight's is darker hon. And for 10dpo that's good. Mine wasn't as dark as ures at 10dpo.
And at 8dpo I got BFN.
Didn't test at 9dpo thought I was out as had zero symptoms.
Then 10dpo I got faint faint lines.
The bleeding cud be a breakthrough bleed or even a implantation bleed. Fx this one is here to stay.

@Alligator
Go get him tiger grrrr hahaha.

Prob said this to u b4 not sure. But I know I said it to a few womon who ovulated earlier than normal.

My ovulation was always around cd13 14 or 15.
I did ovulate on cd 8 twice but that was after the first 2 chemicals I had last April and June.

Anyway with this pregnancy me and DH dtd on cd8.
Thinking it was way to early but on cd9 I noticed I had alot of EWCM. On the off chance that evening I did a opk and got peak on 2 opks including the clear blue advance.
The next morning cd10 my OPKs were still peak so we dtd morning of cd10.
Noticed some very mild pinching/cramping in right Overy and more sharper pains later that night.
Temp was up by cd11 so new I ovulated when I felt that pain on cd 10.
We did dtd on evening of cd11 too.
That was it so like 3 times.
Cd 8 cd 10 cd 11 and bam here I am.
No idea why I ovulated early on cd10 but I really do think I had a 5th chemical in Dec because I had alot of pregnancy symptoms and AF was late. I didn't start bleeding untill 19dpo and when I did it was extremely heavy' painful and alot of clots which all matched up to the 4 previous losses.
That wud definitely explaine the early Ovulation too.
I can't be certain because I only got one vvvv faint line at 10dpo on a Pregmate test.
At 11dpo I tested again and bfn.
So I just thought it was a dodgy test.

But now I really do think I was pregnant and it just ended supper early.

Have everything crossed for you its just a small bleed that doesn't mean its over. I had bright red spotting a few times and a week of brown spotting with my daughter (before it turned red). X

 

[Alligator]

@BabyBrain80 that latest test looks darker!! Here’s hoping it’s just some implantation bleeding. Can’t wait for your next test!!

as for me managed to seduce hubby tonight and he completed the job LOL. So I feel good about that. OPKs are weird and haven’t yet gone positive I don’t think. Still ‘almost there’ just waiting for my latest test to dry I’ll post in a moment. Regardless it seems the surge has started so I’ll likely O tomorrow I’m imagining. Maybe Monday. Will try to do it tomorrow as well. Hubby may not be up for it in the morning since we did an evening one just now LOL. But I feel good that we got even just once in!! And I know I have lots of fertile CM so that’s good too. I have a small worry I already ovulated given random cramps this morning/afternoon but as I said it didn’t feel like my usual ovulation does. felt more like period cramps and O feels different, I find. It would be really weird if I already did since I had no LH surge first thing this morning and started cramping at like 10 or 11! That would be sooo short! I guess an egg lasts 12-24 hours so we did it at 730p hahah. Not the best odds but it’s something! Here’s hoping I feel O pains on my left (working) side tomorrow! I’ll post the photo of my OPK soon.

 

[Alligator]

Here is the OPK! My Premom app said I already had my peak but it was .91, not quite positive…? Not sure what to believe or if I’ve peaked (does that matter? Can the start of the surge trigger ovulation? Is this just a false start and I’ll have another surge?). I’ll keep testing for a few days, I’m wondering if the vaccine is messing with me a bit? I’ve never had a false start ovulation in all the time I’ve been tracking! I’ll keep an eye on other signs too (heart rate is going up slightly which does usually indicate I am close to O, it goes up more after O and my Fitbit skin temp will go up after O too).

 

[tropicsgirl]

@BabyBrain80 looks darker to me! That’s good. I had implantation bleeding with my daughter and it sounds like that’s what you could be having too. Sending positive thoughts!

AF arrived today as I expected - as did the annoying symptoms. Horrible cramps and headache. Onto the next cycle...but I’m feeling pretty over TTC right now...it’s been over a year and a half and I feel mentally exhausted all the time!

 

[Alligator]

Well I took one OPK before bed and this one is positive! So maybe this is the peak LOL. I still think O will probably be tomorrow. Such a strange cycle. I definitely thought O would be in a few days considering I didn’t get a high fertility until yesterday!
