So, AF was due 2 days ago. I had some pink cm yesterday and that is it. My symptoms are minimal to none and my temp has remained up, until today. I took a walmart cheapie yesterday, bfn and this morning I used an ic, bfn. I am hopeful that the spotting yesterday was from implantation and I can get a bfp in a few days. Otherwise, the not knowing is driving me crazy. Baby dust to all.

@JL dips aren’t always bad. I’ve got my fingers crossed for you!
@beck I hope next cycle will bring your BFP and it sticks!!
@shanta Lower back pain is actually a great sign!! I can’t wait for you to test. When do you plan to?
@Cherrip Welcome! How low did your temp drop today? It’s not over til AF comes. Good luck!!

Girls that have had a CP can I get some insight. Top was yesterday with FMU bottom is this afternoon with diluted urine but it looks the same to me. How long does it take for tests to get lighter? I’m still bleeding red with very minimal cramps. Going to test with tomorrow’s FMU to see what happens

Hi girls, hope you all are doing well. Just wanted to check in and let you know that my pregnancy is officially over. I took cytotec on Friday per doctor's orders and finished bleeding yesterday. I went to the doctor this morning and confirmed via ultrasound that all tissue is gone. We were advised to wait until i get a negative HPT (about 2 weeks) to BD again and that i likely will not ovulate again until May. Doc also advised that due to my age we will likely continue to have losses due to chromosomal defects unless we opt for IVF with genetic testing. Not really sure how i'm feeling about that and not looking forward to more losses like this one. Maybe they get easier with time. Medically we both seem to be able to get get pregnant but will have to wait for the perfect combo of DNA to get a sticky bean. Thanks as always for your support. When i figure out when i'll be ovulating again i'll post some updates.

@beck With my CP’s. The line disappeared almost completely within 24-48 hours. Are you sure it’s a CP? I had a lot of breakthrough bleeding for a few days with my youngest. What are your temps like?
@lissa Sorry to hear that. I really hope that you guys can have a healthy pregnancy. Are you considering IVF?

@beck I would go get a blood drawn and another in 48 hours to see if it is dropping or rising. Like @Momma said it could be breakthrough bleeding.
@lissa I am so so sorry. I hope you get your blessing of a BFP very very soon.

Hi Momma -- yes we are considering IVF. I now know that we can in fact get pregnant on our own, but considering our ages we might just keep fertilizing eggs with poor chromosomes that will never in fact make a healthy baby. I think we will try one or two more times on our own and then go back to the RE to discuss IVF. I hate to go through that if we don't need to, but i would also hate to keep having to go through the miscarriage like this one especially if next time we are further along and need a D&C.

Hi all, has anyone had a full blown cold and cough starting from about 5dpo? Started as sore throat and has jus progressed into a nasty cold..I’m now 8dpo!

Hey momma I'm trying to hold out to test like Wednesday or Thursday if I can

@Momma & JLT I just assumed CP, doctor wont do a blood draw and wont even see me as I've no pain, they've just told me to wait it out *huff*
I'm apparently 9dpo, didn't temp 8dpo cause I was bleeding and resigned to my period having come early but my temp went from 36.10 (c) on 7dpo to 36.82 this morning on 9dpo. It's surely far too much blood to be breakthrough? It's not dripping out like a period but every time I wipe its considerably covering the tissue with bright red and lots of ewcm mixed in.
