Hey ladies! First of all, I want to spread lots of baby dust to those ttc. We have been on a not trying but not preventing thing for over a year with the closest thing to a bfp being a cp in Sept 2016. Weve recently decided its not a good time. I have started my career he just opened a business. So I made my gyno appmnt to get bc and all of the usual stuff. I had a mild yeast infection and got some weird tube medication but dr.google seemed to say its not to blame for the next events....
5DPO DOC APPOINTMENT
The next day I started spotting. I KNEE it was my period. It was bright, no clots, changed through all of the colors-pink, brown , and when red-bright. And i have common pms symptoms I rely on to know when Im starting. This lasted until.....
10DPO. I got a couple similar symptoms from my very short time of having them before my cp. I was starved. That is a BIG understatement. I ate 3x as much as normal. Just NEEDED it. And tired and had twitches. On a few...like 3 or 4...different occassions i had a pretty sharp pain.

...so I waited. Either af was gonna come and I was gonna start my bc or it was a long, lighter, IB.

Symptoms constited. On and off some stronger at times.

21DPO- I will have to get back to you according to my period tracker app how many days late I was, if any. But I started spotting again. Even lighter than before. Bright red. Brown in the beginning and at the end.This lasted until....
26DPO.

In the 2nd round of spotting, at the end around 25DPO I poas. It was negative and I was naughty and went back and looked in the trash :dohh: dh confirmed there was a very faint line. Today its even darker. Im gonna wait to test until tomorrow. I worked a 12 hr day. We will be thrilled if we are but if not, I will just start my bc for a few months/yr or two. I am 26 and dh is 28. I guess the thrill of sort of trying has run a lil dry so each month instead of stalking sites and having him double check my imaginary bfp (stark white everytime...excpet at an certain angle in bad lighting! :happydance: haha) weve turned our focus on this for a bit. Itll be a good start for when the time is better. Oh yea, and im super scared to have another disappointment. :wacko: ive had one every month for so long im almost excited to not think about it in the back of my head. But I will call it fate and be so very happy if this is some weird bfp. :happydance: but...ive never even heard of anything like this and my docs want to do a pregnancy test. So i did that at home and am not in the wait....again. After my long time stalking these sites and googling i just cant seem to find a similar story
So i hope SOMEONE can relate, for my benefit. But I also hope if any of you other girls had weird bleeds or spotting- you can help more :) cause theres so many of us out there with questions. I wish you all the very best on trying!! It can be so overwhelming somtimes with the charts, diets, and tests. These blogs are amazing because they relieve much of that. You ladies are awesome, i appreciate any input!
 
Also want to mention I got all tests done and have no infections or anything. A mild yeast infection but thats it. I havent been on bc in years. Periods normally last 31-34 days. If the 2nd spotting was my period I should be ovulating now. Since it has stopped my symptoms are gone too. :( like I said though, IB can be so different for so many. Id like to see some other weird ones and hope it relieves others or brings hope :)
 
Bump please....still trying to figure out this website :( tking a test today hopefuly someone else is too :)
 
Do you still have the test? Can you post a pic for us:) I have had a neg before and then gone back to two clear lines which caught me by surprise! Looking forward to tomorrows update:) or todays update, just read last post :)
 
Thank you for your reply 6lilpigs! Are those your pigs? I have one named Tiny- I guess she's my DD! :)

Depending on if DH went to the dump- I may! I am at work again today. Did yours end up being a bfp?!?!? I will def. post some pics if they are still at home. I am thinking about poas today again- why not!
 
I have the pic!! But..im new and have no clue how to post it. Home now so ill post soon possibly tomorrow: ) so have you got a bfp for #2???
 
My row of positive opk's was a happy pregnancy many years ago:) The piglets are what I call my children, we currently have 11! and no plans for anymore:) I just like to keep my eye in on the boards to see if I can fight the broodiness, its like a test of my will lol!
 
Haha! Too funny! So ypu have two boys then? How exciting! Love the piggies :) and we are ttc #1...well i guess were not trying trying...it is or it isnt atm. Its testing my patience. I have a busy day and i may test tonight. Ill update!
 
No lol, 6 boys 5 girls, 11 children they are my little piglets :) Best of luck with no1, it is the most wonderful and addictive journey you will ever be on lol:!
 
Hi love
I saw your post and thought I would reply. I had ib with my dd starting within a week of my suspected ovulation. It was only my second month using opks and I don't think I ever got a real positive and then I spotted for 4 days straight and took a test 2 days before my expected af which was positive. I did experience severe bloating and painful boobs at the end of the spotting but those symptoms never left. I know I had a couple other months with mid cycle break through bleeding but was told cycle changes are normal as we age.
Hope this helps. I would take another test and see what it says cause no one here will know for sure
 
Have you taken any more tests? With my youngest I had "IB" (that's what the nurse called it... It lasted a long time and I thought it was af, so I didn't even test!). Later in my pregnancy (12 weeks maybe.. I can't remember but it was after my first ultrasound) , I ended up bleeding again (bright red). They rushed me in for an ultrasound and I was crying so hard and so scared. Everything was perfect and they had no idea why I was bleeding. With my first I went through something similar with heavy, long ib. FX you get good news!
 
Thank you so much ladies for your encouraging stories :) theres not even a faint line anymore so i stopped testing after the one being stark white. I am awaiting af and goimg off of my last "ib/breakthrough/af" w.e. it was lol. So maybe if im late again ill be strong enough to test. Either way ill def update! Thank you so much. Are you ladies actively trying?

I'm hoping to actively try, but haven't started af yet after stopping birth control :nope:
I had rando ewcm, so maybe the witch will be here soon! (we bd when I had ewcm just in case :winkwink: )
 
Ladies..... I randomly got a test today. I figured id consider my last bleed as my period since i thibk im the only person whos ever had a possible 10 day ib. Well ladie...i dont even believe it yet and were actually in the car to get another but as soon as i weed on the stick- dark bfp! Darker than the control!!
 
Just in case anyone needs the info. Today i am 7 weeks 2 days. Ive been to the er and the baby doc :) both confirmed how far along I am on seperate occassions. Reasons for the spotting???? Who knows! Xoxo to all of you!
