October Testers - Over 35

[wana b a mom]

Hello Ladies!!
I am so confused, I hope someone can help me: I started having a light brown discharge on Saturday afternoon/evening. Yesterday the discharge was dark brown, today is dark brown mixed with blood like color discharge. Question: what day is considered my first day of my cycle? yesterday or today? PLEASE HELP!

The first day you have a red bleed is considered CD1...spotting doesn't count.

thank you!!
I am confused because my doctor had told me before that dark brown discharge is considered my period.... now I don't see full flow and I don't know what to consider CD1..... I am supposed to take clomid on CD3 and I was going to take it tomorrow.... so I guess I should wait? I cannot call her as we have had power outage because of the weather, and the doctor's office is closed.... don't know what to do...

If this is not a normal start to AF for you, then I would wait...

If you have been counting spotting as CD1, you might have been taking Clomid too early in your cycle, but I am not a doctor. When I took it, it was from CD3-7.

Hi wana be a mom ...with my IVF cycle my clinic was very clear about it being the first day of bright red fresh blood flow. They said if it started before 12:00 that was day 1 and after day 1 was the following day. Good luck with your cycle xx

I usually have brown discharge for maybe 6 to 8 hours before I get full flow, but this cycle is maybe taking longer to start? I was told to start the first round on day 5. This cycle I have to take it on CD3. Oh if I would have taken my temp yesterday! today it had dropped.... hmmm what to do....

really? wow, ok.. I am going to wait then.... now it is you and dachsundmom who believe it is full blood (red bright). Since I don't have that yet, I am going to wait. THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU BOTH!!!!!!!

 

[dachsundmom]

My doc said red blood for CD1, so I go with it, lol

Ok I don't want to be a stats crazy person but....

Indigo is down for both a and a they would cancle each other out and make the BFP % go down...

 

[Indigo77]

I was out by Sept 29th....

Good, I will amend! I am just trying to track down anyone who hasn't come back to the thread although I would think most would be . If I put MIA then it means they haven't really posted anything on the site since they joined or after their testing date. A bit more investigative work and I will finalise the stats

Hi, not sure I posted, but the witch got me, so on with November!

 

[Indigo77]

Super Awesome got a BFP in Oct, too....but also a BFN in early Oct...

Where the heck is Super Awesome?? Haven't seen her for ages...

 

[Butterfly67]

So the results are in (although there may be a couple of stragglers) and the stats are as follows:

12 including one
44
MIA (unknown): 8

% of s over everyone who came back with a result = 27.3%

% of s over everyone who put their names down = 23.1%

Seems pretty good to me! Congrats to all those who got s and for November for those that didn't

 

[Junebug_CJ]

YAY great stats!!! Congrats all the new and tons of to ladies moving on to November cycles!

She announced her BFP and then abandoned us.
