TTC Advice

[Hannahb26]

Hello all, currently CD 33 (longest cycle ever) and I think I'm 13DPO. (I've been taking Pregnacare Conception so understand this can mess with cycles)
I used an FRER this morning and it was a resounding BFN. When I went to wipe, it was just a little bit brown. Not sure what to think! If I was pregnant would I be getting a BFP by now? Any advice would be helpful. I just want to know either way!

If you are 13DPO then you 'should' be seeing a BFP by now if you're pregnant. But there is always some variation between different people, you're not out until AF arrives. My gut feel is that if you are having brown spotting at 13DPO then it's most likely to be followed by AF in the next day or so though.

My overall advice is that unless you have reason to believe that you have fertility issues then I would recommend DTD every other day throughout the month (not just your predicted fertile window), and try to be as relaxed as possible about it. I also (personally) wouldn't bother with any pre-pregnancy vitamins if you don't have fertility issues.

I know it's easy to say but you really should try to enjoy this time. Enjoy being able to spend so much time together, enjoy being able to sleep in, enjoy being able to go out on dates etc. You'll probably have your BFP before you know it - so try not to focus on the TTC part too much.

Good luck!
