Hi everyone, we've been TTC for 5 months now and have not even had a glimmer of hope so far.
The last couple of months, I have been using the Ovia app to help figure things out. I've also been using OPK's for a few months and started temperature charting this cycle too.
So my cycle averages at 27 days (it varies slightly between 26 and 28), and I ovulate on CD16.
This month, I had the promised temp spike after ovulation, so that reassured me that I'd been getting ovulation timing right.
A few days ago (at 8DPO, 5 days before AF due), I had what we thought may have been an implantation bleed.
We didn't know what it was: at first assumed it was AF starting unusually early, but nothing came of it - so we took to google(!) and concluded it may have been implantation. I've had nothing since, just some brown/pink discharge on the same day, and just clear discharge since.
Along with some other symptoms I've been having and the fact that my temp has not yet dipped, we got our hopes up that I could be pregnant.
So lastnight, (CD26, 10dpo) I took a FRER and it was a BFN :-(
Temp still hasn't dipped and no sign of AF today (CD27)
Is it possible we may have just tested too early..? We assumed it would be ok because we'd read that you should wait 2-3 days following a possible implantation bleed - so we did that - and it was also only 2-3 days before AF due.
We didn't think it would be too early but I've read on various forums that 10dpo (regardless of anything else) is generally too early to get a BFP. Having said that, I've also seen posts from women who've got a BFP then, sometimes even earlier.
I'd be grateful for any advice/reassurance/'what would you do' type replies...!
Thank you in advance
