Spotting followed by AF most times, anyone then had spotting followed by BFP?

Hello all, firstly I'd like to say I've been a lurker on here since I started ttc and I have found this forum to be my saviour at times (never knew how mad this would send me!) so thanks to everyone for helping me so far.

I've been trying for 14 months, both myself and dp have had initial tests done and everything came back as normal, no further action.

Some months I get a bit of spotting before my AF is due (an irritating warning that the witch is on her way). I just wanted to know, has anyone had this before but instead of their AF showing after spotting they got their BFP?

Any help/advice/examples will be appreciated!

Sorry that second paragraph is meant to be a 'have you tried these things' paragraph rather than non-sensible ramblings! X

Thanks misshoohaa. Feeling better about it now. I think because I had such a bad cold last month this must have messed things up and perhaps when the CBFM said I was at my peak day, due to the cold it didn't happen and then my body tried again? It's the only thing I can think of for the long cycle.

I've done some reading up on what to do to improve my chances (although moving onto cycle 15 I've read a whole library it seems!) and I'm going to eat much more veg (esp leafy greens) nuts and seeds, drink more water leading up to ov date (meant to help with the fluid situation) and then eat pineapple (esp the core) days 1-5 past ov date - I hate pineapple so hope I don't have to do this for too many months!!! That along with being at it like rabbits and hopefully without the cold I might stand a better chance!

Onwards and upwards as they say! Man, this ttc business is turning me into a right loony one minute and then an emotional wreck another!!!

Hello ladies. Thought I'd hop on here being a serial spotter :( seems I get brown spotting 3 or 4 days (usually 4) prior to af arrival and I already have short cycles 23 days (once 26 in last 4 cycles). Really worried this is preventing me from getting my bfp :( had spotting from sat, more like brown tinged cm and only when checking cervix none on the liner but I know this is the usual build up to af arriving and I just feel rubbish!!! It started on 9dpo late so just in to 10dpo so I'm certain that this starts then egg doesn't get a chance to implant! :( so sick of it and the wait from the spotting starts until af arrives is just unbareable :( anyone else in same boat? Or used anything they reccomend? I'm already on b6, anyone reccomend a type of conception vits that may reduce spotting??
