Thanks lissa, and momma. However. I think shes coming. I did a qtip test and there was bright dark red blood on it. I just wanna give up. I am so tired of trying. I think I'm definitely going to take the next 2 or 3 cycles off. My so doesnt even want to BD. Hes putting off his SA. I feel like a failure. I feel like I'm cursed to be a childless woman

Hi everyone!! So excited to have ttc buddies! Word vomit coming. Sorry!
So I think I am further along dpo wise. I started having possible implantation bleeding an hour ago. I posted photos in the gallery (don’t want to post them here because not everyone wants to see that lol). Anyway, I didn’t start testing for ovulation until I saw EWCM on 1/31(6dpo+)and that result said high fertility on my app so I am thinking I may have ovulated that day or earlier instead of when I was thinking on 2/2 (4dpo). Luckily we BDed 2 days before that day so we might have caught it. Plus all my strips read within .04 of each other for the first 2 days. I know this spotting might be a good sign, but now I am just nervous something is wrong. Gonna go check my notes from past pregnancies to see if I had something similar.

@JL do you temp? I hope that’s IB and not random spotting. Keep us posted!

Just had a chance to read up!
@bugttc I pray you aren’t out! I totally understand wanting to take a break, but like @momma said don’t give up. You never know, it might happen on your break as you will be more relaxed.

@momma, I don’t temp. Ovulating caught me completely by surprise as I haven’t had my first period postpartum yet so I wasn’t tracking anything at all. As soon as I saw EWCM though i knew something was up and decided to test for ov.

Lol! I say I won't be crazy every time af arrives... I always am. After 14 of them it has been hard not to be a total nutcase. We are in the process of saving up to buy a house so I have one test for the whole cycle and no more eek. I have to try not to use it too early or I'll have to wait until i'm a week late. Houses are offensively expensive here in NZ so Hubby is wearing his serious pants this month and is cracking down on my cray preg test fund lol.

@beckuhg, I was just thinking about that last night. My daughter woke me up twice. If I start over this next cycle I won’t be able to get an accurate temp because of it.

No more spotting through the night or this morning. That it wasn’t the precursor to AF.

@matarikigreen, that is hard. I am a poas addict so I wouldn’t be able to control myself. that you will be able to and get your BFP

AF is here and I'm disappearing from the site. My SO is basically not caring that it's not happening so I. going to focus on me. I hope all you have BFPs before I come back.

@matarik.. your comment made me giggle. He put his serious pants on. Lol
@bug I’m so sorry to hear AF arrived. Try to keep your chin up. Focusing on you is a really good idea. You need it.
@shanta Welcome! 4 years is a long time. You are a very strong and patient woman!
I’m getting my EWCM and had a temp rise today. I usually have that the day before O, so I’m expecting a big dip tomorrow.

Hi @shanta! Welcome welcome! Hope you've got a BFP coming your way! I've just found out my husband will NOT be home during O week, I'm expected to ovulate on the Thursday so hopefully we can catch that egg the weekend prior. It's not ideal, but its the best we can do with his stupid work.
