Started having brown spotting this afternoon, not sure what to make of it.. period isn't due until 17th because my cycles are longer, but is it too late for implantation?

PS I hate the TWW, it's so confusing.

@Patience820 - I'm pretty sure the IB can show up quite a bit after the actual implantation. Do you remember feeling anything that could have been implanting?

@Patience820. Oh my. I hope it is just IB and not your cycle starting a week early. I hate the tww too as I am having like no symptoms at all and I am only 8dpo.

@MePlus1. Also a firm believer of the "no symptoms" rule to getting a BFP. Guess I will have to wait and see if AF shows up Sunday or not. When do you think would be a good day to test?

@meplus1 been gassy and cramp this whole time, so nothing really stands out.

@Patience820 - your brown spotting is happening at the same time as mine did. I thought it was my period too... nope! I spotted brown for 5 days, on the sixth morning, nothing. POAS BFP. This could be implantation bleeding for you too. Stay positive!

Lots of cramping over here. Anyone else who got their BFP have cramping? It feels like period cramps without a period! I woke up from them last night in the middle of the night. This is my first pregnancy so I’m assuming it’s just my uterus stretching but no one warned me of this symptom. They’re not intense and no spotting with the cramps, but definitely uncomfortable.

I'm thinking I could be off on DPO. I jumped the gun and put the first day my OPK turned positive. They were positive on 28 & 29 of sept, would that make O possibly 9/30?

Evening ladies.

Feeling discouraged. The spotting came back. It's not really heavier, per se, but I'm starting to feel like it's the exact same thing that happened to me last cycle, where AF just came early for some reason. I can't really explain the temp rises though. Last cycle, my temps dropped on 9 dpo, corresponding with the beginning of the spotting. This time, the spotting started yesterday, with a .4 temp rise. My temp on 11dpo last cycle was high, but I'm pretty sure that was because I temped after getting up that morning because I had forgotten to do it as soon as I woke up. I've been better with that this time around, leading to more accurate temps.

Ugh. I don't know what to think.

@Ruby0709- I have been having off and on cramping since I found out I was pregnant. I won't get any for a few days and then I'll have it again for a little while. Sometimes it only happens after I have changed position, my Dr said it's most likely just stretching.

AFM I am still waiting for my blood results but I go for my first ultrasound a week from today!

Hey ladies I wanted to share this link. If your BBT and you miss a few minutes or a few hours it help pin point your exact temp. Remember to do it on a 1-3 no motion relax time also it can’t be more than 5 hours from your normal temp time. Hope that helps you ladies!!

@Beautiful38 -- I love this. Thank you.
