Hi :)

CD 35, AF is currently MIA.

Since coming off pill cycles have been 27, 27, 38, 31, 30. Normally have significant brown spotting for two-four days before af starts. Normally ov around day 20 (not temping, just suggested by ewcm/sometimes pos ov test)

This cycle have had very light spotting, pinky brown, on cd 32 & 33 (approx 12dpo and 13dpo) and then nothing....

Negative preg tests. Have had one long cycle before so am realistic that its prob just anovulatory or something, but the spotting pattern is giving me a little hope it could be implantation, but surely there would be a bfp by now?

Any thoughts?

I'm in the same boat.

On CD44 of a UCL of 30 days. I did 2 HPT a week apart and also got the GP to get a lab test done. all were FMU and all neg. I'm now wondering what's going on with my body and will be going back to the GP this next week or so for more tests.

I've had cramping pains on CD16 which I took for ov and light spotting on CD28 which I thought was going to be the start of af but it only lasted 2 days then totally stopped. I've had nausea which means DP has to bring me toast esp first thing on a morning (which is the same as I had when first pg with DS), sore tingly boobs, bloated to the point of not being able to fit into the clothes I'd got down to even though i've lost 1 and a half pound in weight since, extreme tiredness where I have had to have a lay down on an afternoon, going to the loo so often people at work ask if i'm ill, metallic taste to the point where at one point I had to ask DP to taste my food to be sure it was just me (it was), and over the past few days anything can set me off weeping.

I just want to know what's happening with my body and whether it's just me wishing too hard or whether I am pregnant, especially since if I am there needs to be urgent changes made to my role at work.

Its so frustrating isnt it :(
Now 6 days late and bfn. No sign of af at all. No spotting even.
The preg symptoms sound positive though! Good luck.

Fingers crossed its just a bit of settling in, sometimes you can get spotting at time period was supposed to be due whilst pregnant. Nothing going on over here. Mystified as have had a long cycle before once but was doing pre af spotting as normal from cd 36-38 then af cd 39. Will just have to wait and see...

Spotting between periods should be checked out further to ascertain the underlying cause; its often not serious but it should be looked into. Causes can include low progesterone levels and cervical erosion.

Congratulations.

I think i'm gonna go back to GP on thursday. That's the next time she's in as she only works part time and I don't like any of the others at the practice.

The symptoms just keep on coming. DP and I went shopping earlier and when we got to the shop I had to stop in the caf for something to eat before we did the shopping because the smell in the store made me light-headed and extremely nauseous. DP says I also went really pale, he had to put his arm around me. The last time when I was like this was when I was pg with DS.

No harm in seeing them again, perhaps for another blood test? Good luck littledragon

Last time it was just a urine test that they sent off so I think I'm gonna have to push for a blood test. Probably ask her to do a full range of blood tests at the same time so that if it comes back neg they have a chance of finding out what is going on with me. I just want an answer because if I am pg we are going to end up with SS doing an assessment as we have both had dealings with them in past relationships. If i'm not we need to know whats happening and if it could affect fertility.

SS wont usually assess til 24 weeks though as a rule.
Def get a blood test though, its the best way to know for sure.

Last time SS first showed up at about 15 weeks for me and started assessment at 21 weeks but i'm now in a different area.

I will go to the gp for bloods on thursday. At the moment i'm staying away from work (it's only a voluntary job so I can) till I know one way or the other and luckily as soon as we told gp we were about to start TTC she changed my medication to safer ones
