Hi ladies! I'm trying to stress less this cycle so I've been trying to stay off the forums/researching/symptom spotting
But I wanted to check in and see how you all were doing!
Butterbaby, so sorry to hear that you are out this month. That crazy brown CM, hey! I had that for like three days last cycle where it would come and then disappear for hours so I'd be like "Implantation bleeding!" But then nothing. Sigh. It's so scary every time the CM even has a hint of brown! Best of luck for this coming cycle.
Patrinina, sorry to hear you never got a strong positive. That's so strange. Have you tried using the digi ones? I never have because the cheapies always give me a blazing positive for well over 24 hours... but maybe the digi's would work for you? Either way, I'm sorry your husband is leaving at just the wrong time. How annoying! What does he do for work?
Lil, I think we're on the same dpo this cycle
FF gave me crosshairs on the 12th, so I'm 4dpo today as well. I've had some super mild spotting (like turning the CM a kind of tan color, sorry TMI) which is strange for me at this point in the cycle. I wonder whether it's an effect of the Vitex still kicking in? I was also surprised to ovulate so early (the day after my first +OPK). Three cycles ago I didn't ovulate until three days after +OPK, so maybe all these pills I'm taking are strengthening my hormones to make O happen quicker than it previously had been? My LH surge seemed shorter this cycle as well (only had one day of +OPK instead of two, but in fairness I did test the second day at 5pm... maybe it would have been + if I'd tested at 12 like I usually do).
Anyway. Lots of waiting now. Trying to keep calm about it
Work is keeping me busy, AND we just found out hubby has a job offer in a different state! So we'll be moving sometime in August. Warm climates, here we come...
