Spotting 0-2 AF

august for me, with my heavy periods that'd not be a period, I'd still be on my old cycle. But given your chemical intervention. Who knows. Can you contact the doctor who prescribed them? I realise that Won't help this weekend with the soy.

august I'd say light AF too. I'm a novice charter but the gradual temp decline looks more like pre-AF than an implantation dip to me, which from what I've seen tends to be a one day drop then back up xx

oh sammy I am so sorry.
It does seem very unfair if everything points to it being good and then it just comes crashing down again.

Thanks woolly boris
Yes woolly I'd sort of discounted implantation dip because of the temps like you say. But then do you think I should count 8dpo when spotting first started and my temp dropped as cd1 or today at 10dpo when I've finally thought this can't be implantation as cd1?

august it's tricky but I'd probably go with today as CD1. cD1 is supposed to be first day of "full flow", I often start AF very light too, but if I'm getting continuous red each time I wipe then I'd count it as CD1 personally.

I haven't read everything yet this morning. Promised ds a day of me and him and helping him on his new Xbox game - which is for 7yos and super hard.....

Anyway. Someone asked for ##STATS## please post any updates with lots of ####### so I can see them easy. Fanks x

August I had that last month about 7 days of light AF (more than spotting but only when I wiped) and then AF came as usual. I counted CD1 as when AF came full flow so if it were me I would wait before starting the soy.

Sorry for the temp drops pixa, sammy and night. So pleased you all have things planned to focus on.

Frog yay to the positivity. Enjoy your lovely weekend and remember we're all here for you

Mummy that's a good about your DP opening up. Hope you continue to communicate your feelings.

Boris would it be possible to have a conversation when your DH isn't so tired? You may then be able to work out a plan

Aug I agree with woolly and fig count it as CD1.

FF has changed my ov date to cd14. Have attached my chart if anyone would like to comment.

Dizzy - if it wasn't for the dips on days 17 and 21 I would agree with FF... What happened there's? Was it disturbed sleep or are your charts always this rocky? X

Thanks fig that's good to know!
S2-3AF

dizzy so you're AF like woolly? Fig said spotting.
compiles complicated stats

Sorry aug I'm a bit distracted this morning. Right just read properly and I would agree with fig saying wait before taking the soy. It's confusing but if it's only spotting at the moment then wait to see if AF does turn up full flow.

Sammy I slept after 3am on day 17 but slept well and slept well last night so I really don't know what's going on. My last chart wasn't erratic.

Pixa & woolly I slept better last night and am feeling somewhat brighter today. So sorry about temp Pixa x Woolly enjoy Kew!

Boris sorry you're feeling low - I echo maybe AI could help? I don't care how tired he is, surely he can "whack one out" a few times a month for the sake of you getting your baby. We have to temp and test and worry and count cycle days and spot pregnancy symptoms that we know are really AF symptoms. The least they can do is give us sperm one way or another!! stroppy

Sammy sorry about your temp too, stay positive about ivf lovely, you will get your baby.

August spotting vote here! If you don't need a pad then I wouldn't count it yet. I would stop prog though to allow AF to start fully.

Lucie hope you're ok x

Just taken a preg test. Nearly negative. Prob the same strength as my 12dpo one. Above is my one from 1 week ago when spotting was getting heavier. Can starts opks when I get my negative!

Thanks dizzy and mummy! (Whoohoo on the nearly negative , as weird as that sounds)
Fwiw last two loo trips only a little bit of blood on wiping again.

I can't keep up today due to in laws but I can see that people have been lovely about temp drop so thank you ladies :)

So sorry that we all got temp drops pixa and Sammy :(

I know August only time I ever want to see a negative! With any luck once the hormones are gone all these spots will clear up too!

Mummy glad your getting your negatives now, You are doing so well, just take each day as to comes and you will get your baby!!, you have to keep positive i can't imagine how you are feeling but dont ever give up!!!

Pug happy birthday, have a great day!!

Pixa sorry for your bfn, but as you say we are one day closer to our bfp, it has to be hiding round the corner!!

Boris sorry you are feeling deflated, I always feel annoyed when we dont get to dtd when i think is the best time!!, but hopefully the twice you have done makes the difference!!

August i would count that as spotting, I have brown spotting that starts four days before af turns up, but this month i was the same as you i had a day of wiping red blood and then i started properly early hours of next morning!!

August, I would say light period cd1 and I don't think the progesterone is working. Prof generally peaks at 8dpo and yours crashes at 6dpo, before a fertilised egg has chance to implant. I would go back to the gp and ask for the hardcore 400mg fanny bullets.

Dizzy, you haven't ov'd yet, IMO.

Thanks rainy purdie
S5-4AF.
Yes, last cycle it also crashed at 6.

Woolly Kew will be lovely!

Mummy it sounds like you have a good day planned with Ds. It's good that you're feeling brighter and sleeping better.

Night hope you have a lovely day.

Thanks for all of the lovely words about the temp drops. Feeling quite positive luckily. Onwards and upwards. I know, deep down, it will happen. I am just impatient.

Laughing at DH today, I don't drive at all (in fact, I hate it) but we have hired a new car for the holiday, to give our little ol' thing a break. This new car is very new, and has a bit more power than DH is used to. Hilarious to watch him drive, and stop and start.

August if its red blood I would call it light af, if its brown then heavy spotting!

Enjoy Kew woolly.

Pixa at your DH!!! Enjoy your holiday.

Thanks Purdie. Haven't dtd for a couple of days but will tonight and hoping I will ov at some point.
