have been ttc for 14 months. Generally had regular cycles until three months ago when I had a very light bleed (which I thought was implantation). turned out not to be pg and had normal af 5 weeks later and again normal af exactly 28 after that. By then I had decided that we were done with the ttc thing as the anticipation and then disappointment every month was getting to me. dh had sperm test this morning and am going back to gp next week to hopefully find out what's wrong so we can put it behind us and move on.
but
this month I'm fairly sure I ovulated on cd13. I don't do OPK's or temp charting, but I gaged the ovulation on my cm, and also I had cramps on one side, whenever I have these simptoms my af always happens exactly 14 days after. but on monday (cd23) I experienced some spotting. nothing serious, just a little, not even requiring protection. again had some of this on tuesday and yesterday had lots of cm. I'd told myself (and others on the conception board) that I had no intentions of testing, as far as I was concerned the spotting would just be a light period, but this morning all spotting has stopped, but I have some minor abdominal cramps, and felt sick at breakfast time (after I'd drank orange juice) and, strangest of all, my dog will not leave me a alone.
I know that the sensible thing to do is to wait another week and do a test if no proper af arrives, I know the even more sensible thing to do is forget about it and wait for af to arrive in 4 weeks or so, but was just wondering if anyone had any views on this? esp the dog - they say animals can sense things - I know my retired dog knew when a work colleague of mine was in labour - she wouldn't leave her alone and the girl had a baby two hours later (waters broke in a team meeting).
any thoughts? I do know this has been done to death, and I do know that I've been trying to be the voice of reason on other similar threads and now I'm the one in the situation ...
