Southern I can tell you with certainty that one of the best decisions I made while ttc, it’s to quit charting and testing. I didn’t have any success but I’m sure it’s not the absence of charting that’s causing it. I’m just super infertile. When I was charting I was super obsessive and super depressed about it. It was hell... since I stopped I’m a more happy person and I’m actually living my life! I really hope you’ll find some peace with your decision and have a successful cycle right away!
Pandorica I’m so proud of you girl. You’re so strong! Those tests and the spotting must giving you a lot of worries! I’m sending all my positive energy your way for a blazing bfp soon!! Fingers crossed

Thank you ladies, it means a lot to know I always have your support! It makes this whole journey a lot easier. Tested with fmu and the line should at least be as visible as the one yesterday afternoon, but I couldn't see anything else then a squinter.. So I'm pretty sure this is going to be a chemical.. Not gonna lie, it breaks my heart. But at the same time my brain is like "bring it on, I'm not giving up!". Still only spotting, but I guess I'll start bleeding later today or tomorrow. I think it may be time to contact that private fertility clinic and see if they can help us in any way. I'm not interested in IVF or something like that, I only want to know if something's wrong with one of us (or both) and if it's something we can fix.

Pandorica: I hope it's just spotting and you get a darker test. *hug*
Alex: I can already tell it was a good idea to not chart this cycle. I don't feel as stressed by it. Or as obsessed! And when we did that with my daughter that's when I got my bfp! So here's to hoping ovulation stays consistent and we time sex just right.

Pandorica, I’m glad you’re feeling okay, but I’m still hoping for the best for you.
Southern, I’m so glad you’re feeling relaxed!
Alex, you told me to test if I felt like testing, so I’ll give you the same advice! Better than obsessing over whether or not to do it. :)
AF is supposed to start on Thursday and I think I’m 12 or 13dpo. I wouldn’t be surprised if AF showed early though, because I ovulated earlier this cycle. I tested yesterday and didn’t see anything, even a shadow of a line. So I didn’t test today, because I’m not feeling very hopeful. No symptoms except sore boobs, which I’ve had for awhile now. Today I woke up and they were huge like, pre-baby size, and heavy. My partner started calling me Laura Croft.
I’m just ready to be done with this cycle, and I’m so hoping I get a BFP next month, since we’re going to take a two month break after that. An October birthday and missing the holiday madness at work because I’m on maternity leave wouldn’t be the worst thing, right?? I may try soy isoflavons next month because why not? I’ve heard that if you have regular cycles it could mess it up, but I’m not having much luck anyway and I’d have two cycles of not trying for things to go back to normal if it doesn’t work.

Pandorica: *hug* I'm sorry hon. I was pulling hard for you! This thread is the only one I'm still following this cycle. I had chemicals in 2013 when trying for my daughter. 4 of them back to back. And every time I got a faint positive on 11 dpo with frer then my period would start at 14 dpo. And each time it was a heavier than usual period. It always sucks to see that faint glimmer of hope and then it doesn't get darker. Can I ask what tests you used? They seem to detect pretty early!

@pandorica. So sorry. Was so rooting for you and that you get your BFP. Hoping this cycle is the one.
@Alex. If you do decide to test, don't be discouraged if it's negative as it could change in a day or too.
AFM. Not much to report. A tiny bit of my mucous plug came out this morning. I have another doctor's appointment on Wednesday afternoon and another membrane sweep will be performed. Doctor also says that I am measuring a little behind. I hope that the baby will be okay. Should I be concerned as this is the first time I was measured behind?
