11dpo and brown spotting, don't know what to think. AF symptom or implantaion.

Brown spotting is old blood so could be implantation.. FxD for you!

Im the same way. Ugh I am approx 3 weeks past ovulation. I know how you feel. I am trying christmas day to see if I have a miracle.

well im pretty confused now. i thought i was having some symptoms at day 40 but i really think i was O-ing but now i feel like im going to start a new cycle. im supposed to start 2morrow and have been feeling like im going to start for the last few days.i think im out this month

any1 feel like they were going to start and never did?

yes i had bfns between 1 week before af was due and to 3 weeks late for af.....i did 6 tests until i got my first faint bfp last week (14th)....i was 4 weeks late for af then. i had a blood test done and got my results today, it was positive but my doctor wanted to confirm it with a urine sample, so i did one at the surgery and that was a very dark BFP. i guess im just one of the unlucky ones who didnt get picked up until 8-9 weeks but its better late than never.

only advice i can give is to try not to stress out about it, you will do more harm than good. plus if you are over a week late for af and worried about bfns then go see your doctor, they may send you for a blood test.

good luck ladies x

I had some pains around my left tube/pelvic region for about an hour or so at tea time. Now nothing- I did put a little heat on with a hot water bottle. But not anymore- I am 4dpo- anyone else had something like this? I had an Ectopic in September and am scared this may be a sign of another in my only remaining tube

i am one week late today but had a few drops of brown spotting the day my period was due so hoping its implantation. tested negative yesterday so think i might leave it until new years eve???

 

[angelmyky]

if you do not start then wait at least another week to test. its best not to worry too much, it does more harm than good. i think its best you wait til at least 2nd january because it will bring you down if its negative. good luck

PS I just remembered having a stinging feeling behind my belly button and some sudden tail bone pains.

Very random!

I keep telling my hubby I think I am. He said next week if its still negative and no Af...we are going to get a blood test. The best way to tell if your pregnanct in my opinon is a blood test. HCG shows up way faster. With my son I was 10 dpo so this is very odd for me.

Interesting it took that long to get a positive.

Well I thought I'd add mine. Got my BFP on Tuesday (11dpo). Felt a little strange a few days leading up to that. I'd been feeling a little strange that day, feeling sick a lot as well. It was my department's xmas do that night so I nipped out at lunch to buy a test (FRER). I'd already tested that morning with a CB digi and got "not pregnant" but I know those tests are extra sensitive. So I came back from Superdrug, POAS and put it in my coat pocket. Went back to my desk thinking it was going to be BFN but wanted to be sure so that I could enjoy myself that night when I went out. Took the test out of my pocket and there was a clear line! I was so shocked. I ran upstairs to show my friend (whose in another department) and asked her if I was imagining it and she said "well I can see it!". This has been a long time coming for me. This was my 13th cycle after my miscarriage. Anyway, she said that I should do another one before I left work. I couldn't hold my pee for much more than an hour so I just did another one and another line (although slightly fainter this time but deffo there). Still couldn't quite believe it but I didn't drink that evening. I sat there with a glass of wine in front of me that I wasn't drinking. Did another test in the morning, and another line. The lines don't seem to be getting much darker but they are there and dark enough for even my husband to see it (and I'm sure he's colour blind when it comes to pregnancy tests!). The amount of times I've shown him a test when I've thought there's a line that I could 100% see (they must have all been evaps though cos I wasn't pregnant then), and he says "there's nothing there".

So my symptoms were feeling sick. That was from around 10-11dpo. At 4dpo though, I noticed quite a bit of CM which isn't usual for me. Normally after ovulation, I get a bit but not this much so that got me thinking. My boobs were hurting even more than usual in the 2ww but I put that down to the cold weather (it was absolutely freezing - so cold we even had snow - and the cold weather always plays havoc with my boobs!). The CM kind of dried up though after that but is back again now (I'm 14dpo today). Haven't had any cramps this time. Last time, I had spotting and cramps but I know this can be normal but I'm actually quite pleased this time seems completely different. I also had sore gums and a stuffy nose in the mornings.

So I didn't have a huge amount of symptoms, it was just the sickness that was the only really noticeable thing. Oh yeah, the one other thing I did notice was that on the Sunday before I found out I was pregnant, I fancied a curry. This has never, ever, ever happened to me. I'm not a curry fan so that got me wondering cos it was the only thing that I wanted to eat!

I'm just hoping and praying that it sticks, but I'm going to enjoy the here and now and whatever happens happens. Fingers and toes crossed this is a sticky this time and me and DH will be meeting our beautiful baby in September xxx

Bumping up and adding mine!

Possibly O'd on Dec. 19 - massive cramping! Nearly worse than AF's worst! Tons of EWCM!
4 DPO- cramping. Slight back ache but was on my feet all day yesterday and will be again today.
5 DPO- (Christmas Eve) cramps
6 DPO- (Christmas Day) cramps, wet feeling but nothing there, needle/burning feeling in breasts, slight constipation, slight vaginal discomfort, back spasms
7 DPO- slight vaginal discomfort, off BLT's ?!?, breast feel odd, little weepy but too early for PMS! creamy cm and slight cramps, possibly peeing more, tummy more 'noticeable'. pigged out later. some pinching lower right side
8 DPO- cannot stop eating! craving carbs and low CP, not a good sign but it's early. Some bb twinges, more MT but those mean nothing to me
9 DPO- wet panty feeling, CP high/soft,wet. bad cramps! starving! cannot stop eating! a little tired, increased urination kinda. bladder feels full but not much there, breast tenderness especially near the under arms. Sharp pain lower right side for split second.
