@JulieDR1981. I'm not exactly sure when I will start testing as CTP thinks I didn't ovulate this cycle. Expected AF is the 19, so maybe I will take one on Sunday or I can use a HCg dip test but not sure when it would pick it up so I'm not wasting a strip. Still have quite a few pregnancy tests. Will have to see what my temp is at in the morning.

@Burn2Ash. Once my temp drops around 97.6, I know AF is coming either that day or a day later. Still grasping that portion still. Been having the royal rumble of gurling noises in my stomach whenever I lie down and nipps aren't too sore. I definately think this is it for you but won't know till Sunday. If I have a 26 day this month, I'd be on the same day as you. See what the morning brings.

Good morning ladies! For those new additions, welcome! You have found yourselves a great group of really supportive women.

For those of you who have been following my, so far, crazy journey I feel safe in saying that I should move on to the June group. I still have not gotten my blood results yet, but I almost positive I am about to ovulate. I have had very fertile cm for a few days now, my temp just dipped this morning, my cervix is in SHOW. My opk's are still negative but that could just be from my PCOS or it could be that I'll get my positive today. Either way we have been bding every 2 to every other day so hopefully this cycle will be more straight forward for me. For those of you that have been following my journey I will come back to let you know what, if anything, my blood work said. Good luck ladies!

Morning ladies!

So, the spotting stopped by about 1 AM this morning, which would make it about a 14 hour spotting that was very, very light brownish pink (only when wiping). So, if that wasn't IB, then I don't know what it was, because it wasn't AF. This morning I don't feel as bad as yesterday, but I didn't sleep very well. I still have a headache, but the indigestion/heartburn/acid reflux seems to have subsided. I am not as hungry, but still more hungry than usual. Boobs not as sore, but still have some light stabbing/cramping on the right side that comes and goes. It's not as intense as last night though. This morning, my temp was 97.5, so it did go up. I will be testing on Sunday if AF doesn't show.

@Prayingfor1 -- Sorry to see you go from this group, but thanks for dropping in to update us about everything. Got my fingers crossed for you. Keep us posted!

Morning Ladies. I just have one quick rant that I just saw on the website here. Who in their right frame of mind posts their twins up for adoption. It just breaks my heart to see that. I did reply to it that she needed to go through the proper channels like agencies as this isn't the place to put it . I'm not discriminating the woman as you can only handle what you can handle and that is the only option for her.

With that being said, ddin't sleep to bad last night and woke up a few times. Temped this morning and it went back up to 98.1. Not sure what that means. Last night my DH and I squeased in a quickie and this morning when I woke up to go to the bathroom and when I wiped, I am sure I saw some snot-like tinged ewcm. Did some googling that said that ewcm would curl into the ball and sink. This just sat on top of the water and didn't sink. Boobs are still slightly sore and still having some minor cramping still.

@Burn2Ash. I'm glad the spotting has stopped. Hopefully that will be implantation bleeding for you. Also, glad that your temp went back up slightly. Keeping my fingers crossed for you when you test on Sunday.

@Prayingfor1. Sorry to see you go. Please keep us updated when you get your lab results back.

@dragonfly23 -- She did what? That's really odd, to put it lightly; kinda makes me feel a little sick. Maybe it was a troll? Glad your temp went back up. Was the CM tinged with blood? Like IB? Because that would be exciting! The spotting did stop, but now it's back (only when I wipe) and it's brown. So, now I dunno. Maybe it's just getting to the last bit and expelling it out? I really don't feel like I usually do when AF starts. Usually I cramp the day she starts and can feel my cervix "open" so to speak. Don't feel that way at all. Just bloated. Though, the idea that it is probably IB and that my temp went up is making the waiting to test a little easier than it was on Monday.

@Burn2Ash. Check it out for yourself in the forum (Seeking Adoptive Parents). I have nothing against her at all.

No, I wish it was tinged with blood but that isn't the case. If IB were to occur, the most common would be today, so will have to see how the day progresses. I am still cramping a bit but not as bad. I did check my cervix and I am so new at it that I have no idea if it feels open or closed. My head feels a little weird as well as my boobs are still tender.

Fast forward a hour. I checked the pregnancy test calculator and when I plunked in my last LMP, and it marked me at being 9dpo. So, my expected AF is still on the 19th and that is what my app says it will most likely occur. So, I changed my Ovulation date to reflect that change. Hope this doesn't change anything.

@dragonfly23 -- That's very interesting. I don't judge, but it still makes me feel a little sad for multiple reasons. Don't even ask me about cervix position. I tried to monitor that for a few cycles and I got so confused that I just gave up. I'm not even sure I know what my cervix feels like, so not sure if I ever found it! It's so sad how little some of us know about our own bodies. I said before and I'll say it again; I wish I had a manual! On the subject of IB; not sure if you said it before, as my memory is poor at the moment and I hate searching posts, did you have IB with your first? I thought I saw you were trying for #2. If I'm wrong, sorry! But, I have heard that though it isn't common, women who have had IB before are more likely to have it again in subsequent pregnancies.

@Burn2Ash. I am sad too for many reasons. I updated my last comment and not sure if you saw it or not. Anyway, I did not notice IB with my first pregnancy and I too heard that people who never got it with their first, tend to get it on the second and so on. So, when I spotted last month, I was so sure it was IB because I never had it before. I suffer from short term memory loss but I can remember things that happened when I was a kid. Wish we had a manual on our bodies but I guess that is why we keep track of everything so we can get the manual started .

I've spent most of the morning trying to Google every nook and cranny on DPO's and it's driving me insane. I don't know what to believe anymore lol.

@dragonfly23 -- I didn't notice, but went back to read. So, if you're 9dpo, that would put you 2 days behind me. It may or may not change anything. I didn't notice the IB (if that's what it was) until VERY late on 9 dpo; but my cycles always start late in the day. When AF starts, it's usually about 6PM or later. So, unless I O'd on CD 16 (which COULD be the case), I didn't see the IB until almost 10 dpo...but I really don't know. I've also be driving myself crazy with the Google. I need to stop though, because it's just making me nervous that my IB is actually my period starting really, really early. I've seen some sources that say that IB isn't even a really thing. So, who knows? I guess, just trust your body and the signals it's giving you. Maybe I should follow my own advice there... And btw; if I did write a manual on the female body, I could make millions. As a side note: I know I mentioned that I'd been pregnant before and I actually did have IB with that one, but didn't know that's what it was. I was beyond surprised when my Dr. told me that I was pregnant (I was going in for my annual). I was like: "But I had my period!" So, apparently it was heavy enough and long enough for me to think it was AF.

hey everyone
sorry trying to read and catch up on whats going on with everyone
I know it drives everyone crazy trying to notice systems
it's the only time when I actually want t feel something different in my body to actually think I might be pregnant...lol

so my spotting was 8 days
2 days light pink
2 days red then
2 days red then light pink at night
1 days light pink then white at night
1 day light pink
and today was all white just a spot of pink which makes it the ninth day
and on the 8th day I had an unusual pain that felt like the pain you feel when you hit something hard on both sides of my abdominal

I took an HPT yesterday and an other second line appeared immediately and got more visible before the time limit and it still is so clear to see today
I took a blood test yesterday and was confused it was negative
I'm taking an other HPT tomorrow and see that happens
I still feel breast pain and it's and pinching on my abdominal, headache and feeling weak and tired

you can look at my test on my images
