Has anyone had a similar experience?

Hi everyone,
I ovulated on 3/14 and 15 ( confirmed by Clearblue digital opk that gives you the happy face on your 2 most fertile days).

My husband and I did the deed on 3/14 -15. So, the 2ww started. On evening dpo 9, I had quick sharp pains in my left side. I thought it was possible implantation. Then on Thursday morning, dpo 12, I had quick mild cramping on the same left again and then in the afternoon, I started seeing light brown when I wiped, which I thought mmaybe could've been implantation spotting. All tests up to this point were negative (including on 14dpo). But this "spotting" seemed to get heavier, I'm now assuming it's my period, but it's been all dark brown and sticky. It's weird and still occuring at 16dpo.

Now, I do have PCOS and very irregular cycles. My last period before this was December and before that August. But, this is the first time I've only had this brown dark thick sticky stuff (sorry tmi) and no red. I'm wondering if it is just my period getting rid of old blood or if something went wrong with a possible conception?

Had anyone had a similar experience?

Hello. I'm curious if you talked to your doctor about the ovulation tests. I have PCOS and was using those and my doctor told me not to waste my money because with PCOS they aren't accurate. I read the insert of my clear blue and it does mention it may not work with PCOS. : ( I know they're expensive so I just wanted to mention that to you. Good luck and blessings on your journey.

Thank you for the information! I have not mentioned it to my GYN. I'm actually due for a check up in April, so I will be asking her. My Acupuncturist did say they were good, but I thinks it's better to ask my doctor. I have read that PCOS can cause false readings on OPK's. I think I'm going to read up more about that. Thanks again and blessings to you as well!
