Anyone else suddenly started spotting?

So I know no one can possibly tell me if im pregnant or not but I’m wondering if anyone else has just suddenly experienced spotting before their period?
AF is due on weds and today I have had light brown spotting. I’ve had crazy symptoms for the past week and a bit that I’ve never experienced before, in particular sore boobs, nausea and bloating that has now disappeared. I am putting these down to PMS symptoms in a bid to avoid symptom spotting (literally impossible) but the new spotting today is taking everything in me to not get my hopes up.

So sorry @kell2126 good luck for your next cycle 🤞🏻

Well my cycle keeps getting stranger and stranger, so yest was another negative pregnancy test, so last night I did my opk as normal (cause I like to pee on sticks), and it was blazing positive. So this is my 2nd cycle in a row where ovulation has happened twice (because there are no signs af is showing up). We baby danced incase and opk was back to the normal faded line this morning.

So confused, the spotting, the faint positives (that I am guessing are false positives) and now 2nd ovulation of the cycle 🤦🏼‍♀️ please someone send me strength before I loose the plot!

So i guess the wait continues till af or another 2 weeks to test again 🤦🏼‍♀️

@beanchopper oh the irregularity is so tortuous for you! 😩

I think I’m going to get some OPKs this month and test around the time I suspect ovulation will be. Winging it clearly isn’t working for me 😂

My replies aren't showing?!?

@booboo30 sorry hun, good luck for your new cycle 🤞🏻

Well my test was stark white this morning, so yest must of been an evap? So confused

Booboo30 · 28/04/2019 10:08

Ah no I'm out now :-(
Good luck to everyone else

Booboo30 · 27/04/2019 23:25

I came off the pill in Jan, it took one and half month before my first period so I only have one month to go by.
My first baby was IVF/ICSI and my second was a natural suprise when we wasn't trying. So I don't really know what I'm looking for if that makes sense!
My periods have always been irregular, in the past I missed up to three months!
I have started tracking ovulation and have an app but no idea if it's accurate as not given it long enough.

Beanchopper · 27/04/2019 23:17

@Booboo30 do you track ovulation or use any apps that give you indications of your pattern?

As sufferer of irregular cycles I find keeping track of them helps me know testing periods. I am still not 100% confident OPKs work fully for me as I also have PCOS so I use them as a rough guide. I also use glow and clue to help me track all activities

Booboo30 · 27/04/2019 22:49

It's so similar.
I haven't been cramping like a normal period. It's very light or non existent.
I took a sensitive test but my periods are so irregular I don't actually know when I am due on.
I guess I'll have to see what happens over the next few days

Booboo30 · 27/04/2019 22:42

@beanchopper thanks I'll have a read!

Beanchopper · 27/04/2019 22:40

@booboo30 hope this chain helps

kell2126 · 27/04/2019 21:52

@pinkoi so sorry af came- fx for you for next cycle xx

Beanchopper · 27/04/2019 20:56

Sorry to hear that @pinkoi good luck for your next cycle 🤞🏻

pinkoi · 27/04/2019 20:34

Awww man! Looks like I'm out - good luck to you all.
I'm not sure if my body is behaving differently or I'm just paying much more attention.
It's all a bit mind boggling Confused
Xxx

Beanchopper · 27/04/2019 16:13

@kell2126 iam cycle day 38 (my cycles are usually 34-36 days), which means I am 2 days past my latest and roughly 15dpo

No more spotting since last Sunday, not many symptoms in the week. Some cramping and emotional ness but nothing like wow that's odd.

I hope we all do too, it's exhausting all this guessing

kell2126 · 27/04/2019 16:05

@Beanchopper was due on yesterday at the latest (am 16dpo today). How about you? Are you still spotting at all? Today and yesterday I’ve had a couple of brown specks on pantyliner but that’s it.

I’ll also test with a FRER with tomorrow morning fmu - please keep me updated and fx for us both for tomorrow!!

Beanchopper · 27/04/2019 15:49

@kell2126 extremely frustrating, with all the false positives last month I refuse to believe it till there's a clear line, I may even push the boat out and get a frer if there's a clearer line tomorrow.

How many DPO / days late are you?

kell2126 · 27/04/2019 15:44

@Beanchopper argh so frustrating no?! Why aren’t they clearer seeing as we’re well past af due date?

Beanchopper · 27/04/2019 15:31

There's also @MrsB899 on another post who has used the same brand and got similar results, surely they can't all be wrong ?

Beanchopper · 27/04/2019 15:30

@kell2126 that is pretty much how mine looked

So we can go crazy together 😂

kell2126 · 27/04/2019 15:18

Am I imagining a line? Going a little bit mental here (and weirdly my tailbone is killing me) 🤪

Anyone else suddenly started spotting?
Beanchopper · 27/04/2019 14:37

@Beclaboo yep I was due latest Thursday. I refuse to buy a better quality test until I get more than a faint line 🤦🏼‍♀️ but I had many false positives cycle last month due to dodgy tests so my head is over the place

@coffeebrew sorry to hear that 😩 AF is a sneaky cow with those symptoms!

@beanchopper I can see something with the inversion but it’s not clear on the others. Was it Thursday your af was meant to show?

OP posts:
Beanchopper · 27/04/2019 10:16

@Coffeebrew sorry to hear af showed up hunny, best look for the future and hope you get your BFP soon 🤞🏻

Coffeebrew · 27/04/2019 10:11

Unfortunately for me it's a no go this time. I started heavy bleeding yesterday, with obvious lining shed, so my period finally showed.

I do feel as if my body is telling me it knows i am trying to conceive. Might sound odd but i am noticing some changes like with the prolonged spotting before my period started, as if it's preparing my body to hopefully at some point conceive. Maybe it was a very early chemical loss again and was so quick i didn't get a positive. I can't be certain, but once this prolonged bleed stops i can try again.

All the very best to the rest of you.

kell2126 · 27/04/2019 09:48

@beanchopper I can see it on the tweaked pix – FX for you that this is it!

@pinkoi sorry you're also in limbo – keep us posted and fx for you x

Same story here again today – 16DPO and no AF or BFP
