Question

First Month TTC...help!

First month TTC...it has been an interesting month so far. I believe I pinpointed my ovulation to 3.16.13 based on counting and CM. I should have kept a journal, so I am unsure but have been spotting for days (3 or 4 now). I have never spotted before and am thinking it is implantation bleeding. I caved and bought a pregnancy test against better judgment knowing it is quite early and got a BFN. Does this sound like there is a good chance I may be pregnant? I am going to the doctor 3.28.13, but that seems like an eternity away!

charting CM and it's changes, is definitely very helpful, especially if you have enough of it that you can tell the difference in the consistancy as it changes. counting is not as reliable, and the only reason i say this is because, even when you have a perfect cycle, there are still things that can throw off your ovulation date, by a day or two. it definitely gives you a good idea of when you could be ovulating, but it's not the most reliable, just my opinion though. if you ovulated on 3/16, you are 6dpo, the spotting sounds a little early to be implantation spotting, unless it just started. (if you've had it for 3-4 days already, that sounds too early)... implantation usually occurs at 6-12dpo (that's the average). could it be that you ovulated later than you thought? maybe it is ovulation spotting? you could definitely be pregnant though, but 6dpo is very early to test. GL to you! =)

and please dont take my 'counting isnt the most reliable' in an offensive way; didnt mean it like that at all. Just from my experience, i didnt have any luck with that, cause my cycle was 27-29 days long, which moved ovulation a day or two (plus stress i think contributed as well) and it just didnt work out for me. i had the best luck with using an OPK, i used and OPK the cycle that i got pregnant, but again Good luck to you! sending baby dust your way! =)

Thanks for the feedback. No offense taken, I am new at this and will take all the advise I can get. I think I have given up hope this month that I am pregnant. I have spotted AGAIN this morning. Granted like I said before this has never happened to me, it was a decent amount of blood when I used the bathroom this morning. Perhaps I will try the OPK in April. Thanks!
