Question

Loads of signs, loads of BFNs :(

Been ttc #1 for almost 2 years. Prior to this had been on bcp for 7 years. This month had a really strong positve opk and did the deed the 3 days leading up and several days after. Suffering from extreme bloating and discomfort, mild cramps/twinges/pressure, headachey, fatigued and very emotional. Yesterday at 11dpo experienced a little yellow cm when wiping, and again this morning which progressed to pink and then very pale brown/pink. Don't feel like AF is on her way but just had a BFN on an internet cheapie :( what are the chances?!

Well, as you probably know by now, symptoms tell you little. PMS & early pregnancy feel identical. But the general statistics are: if you're under 35, both partners have no fertility issues, and you maximize all of your fertile days, you have a 20-25% chance per cycle. If you're 35+, it goes down to 15%. It goes down the closer you get to 40 as well. But those are just general numbers. Since you've been trying for 2 yrs, have you or your partner been tested for fertility issues? Are you confirming ovulation with temp as well as opk since they can be inaccurate?

Wait a few days and test again. 11dpo is still early. It took me over two years to get pregnant with my daughter about three months using opk. Now 8 years later after not preventing it for six of those years I'm ttc with opk again. Good luck :)

Thanks. We've only been using OPK for 3 months but this was the first month we managed to time it right and get a positive results. It's more been not trying not preventing and just expecting it to happen. We're both in out mid twenties so I guess we'll focus a little more on opks and "trying" and see where that takes us if this month is out. Really bad cramping this morning and a little breakthrough bleeding, no where near as heavy as my period normally would be (yet). A little Early for my period, usually 32-36 days and this only 29. Time will tell I guess but I have the feeling we're out this month.
