Trying to conceive

[thehunter]

Hello!

This is my first time trying to have a baby. I have had one pregnancy scare last month where my period was 10 days late. After that my boyfriend and I decided that we were ready to have a baby. I have been constantly checking my temperature, charting my CM daily and taking my prenatal vitamins. This month my cm has been off a lot. I think that because my period was late, I ovulated late. My cm was not stretchy but it was watery. The next day my cm was glue like. Then Wednesday and Thursday my cm went back to being watery during the day and watery glue like during the night. The same this morning. Im not certain what is going on. I try to look it up but everything is very confusing. Help please and thank you in advance!

Unfortunately CM doesn't always confirm you've ovulated. Especially for women with PCOS, you can get patches of fertile CM and not actually ovulate. The best that tracking CM does is give you a clue of when you might O.

If you don't use Fertility Friend already, I recommend it. It doesn't have a great interface but it makes predictions for you and uses different information to detect ovulation.

I just would also suggest having a think about whether you truly are ready. I noticed you called it a 'pregnancy scare'. It just made me think that you wouldn't have been pleased if you had got a BFP. Could it be the possibility of having been pregnant got you excited without thinking everything through? Maybe, or maybe not. Having a baby will be amazing but if it was a spur of the moment decision, there's potential you may not be quite as ready as you could be.

I know that I am ready. Thank you for your response as well! I think what I am most confused about is that I'm either sticky or wet and it's getting closer to my period day. I also do not really have many signs of pregnancy except for gas, and being tired, but again I'm not certain.

Hi, I'm 24 diagnosed with pcos. I typically get my period every 2-4 months naturally but have been on and off bc since I was 12. Sometimes they can be regular, every 28 days, 7 day cycles but that's not more so typical than having one every 2 months. (4 months is the longest I have gone without one)

I've never tried to conceive before until now and I've visited my gyno and she gave me meds to jump start my cycle. After the first period came, the next came two weeks after my first have ended. I was relating this to my pcos since they are naturally off.

Well it was 8 day before my next estimated period ( this going off my period tracker) and I had a couple drops of blood when I wiped. I thought I was starting early so later on, maybe two hours after, I inserted a tampon and left it in for about an hour or two and there was nothing on it at all.
I thought it may have came from somewhere else like my bottom or my pee hole but wiped both places and examinated it and found nothing. I'm currently 7 days from my period. I usually have cravings for chocolate but not this time. And my boobs feel weird.. not painful just a little heavy.
I'm wondering if I could possibly be preggers or I'm completely off and my body is just trying to mess with me.
My plan is to wait to test, and to see if af comes. Like I said my periods can be off but even though it usually comes every two months, it's around the same time. Any ideas?
Anyone ever had implantation bleeding or ovulation bleeding like I explained?
