13 months TTC spotting is late

I usually get spotting anywhere between 3-5 days before AF, I’m due on Thursday and the usual spotting hasn’t started however when I wipe after the toilet there is a slight tinge. I have been taking all sorts of vitamins and added vitamin D and B6 a couple of months ago so maybe this is just helping with my spotting. I have been getting AF like cramps for maybe 3-4 days now. I guess I’m clutching at straws but has anyone been in this position and got a BFP?

No advice, but I'm in the same boat AF due on Friday and no spotting yet (normally comes 3 days before), but a very slight yellowy tinge when I wipe. I had stomach cramps/gas over the weekend/early part of the week so hoping that might have been implantation? Trying so hard not to test! The thing is, this has happened a couple of times so I get all excited then the spotting arrives 🤦‍♀️

Good luck!!

I know I’m the same, spotting was there today in a couple of wipes but nothing what it usually eats either way I’ll be happy I suppose as it looks like my vitamins have extended my luteal phase, good luck :)

I got cramps exactly like the start of my period in March, when I conceived (but had a MMC in May). I had cramps and gas exactly as I would with PMS.
I am also due tomorrow, and having the same symptoms. Have also had early spotting in my last couple of cycles since the MMC, so at least my cycle is back to normal I guess. I've also used a Vit B complex to try to regulate cycles (as well as usual pregnancy supplement).

I'm enjoying the little bit of hope today. Wishing cramps would stop. Wishing for no spotting or AF.

I plan to test tomorrow morning if no sign. I really hope this is our month!

@sweetpea2000 sorry about your MMC. That must be so hard Flowers. When is AF due?

@Timetotry123 hopefully it's just that little bit and will stop after today.

I'm going to wait until the weekend to test, I have one left from last month (after my last AF I spotted for a few days which is very odd for me and my GP said to test just in case). I also had spotting after ovulating this month too which is rare.

Let me know how testing goes!

Fingers crossed all three of us are lucky this month.

sweetpea2000 · 16/09/2020 20:57

@Chocoqueen I’m due tomorrow so time will tell.
That would be amazing if we all got lucky this month!

sweetpea2000 · 17/09/2020 08:33

I tested. I’m out. It sucks.
I’m pleased my luteal phase has lengthened though and at least I have a regular cycle. Good luck to both of you.

Sorry to hear that, I have spotting so no doubt af is on the way... always next month... again lol

@sweetpea2000 sorry to hear that, but I'm glad your cycle is back to normal.

@timetotry123 that's a shame, same here, spotting first thing this morning but nothing now. I feel a bit AFy too. I really thought we might have done it this month.

Hi everyone

I'm also due on tomorrow - but last 3 cycles I've been 26 days but usually I'm 28 days spot on but this month looks like I'm back to 28 days. As no sign of AF yet

I've run out of tampax so went to Tesco's to get some and they didn't have the ones I need ! So ended up buying cheapy pregnancy tests instead so hope I haven't tempted fate! I don't test until I'm late which is never as I can't stand seeing the negative but it's so hard knowing I have just bought them! X

sweetpea2000 · 17/09/2020 10:41

@strawberrysummer19 that must be confusing when your cycles vary like that! I don't normally test, but I've been feeling so down lately I wanted to get the news with my partner here this morning, rather than having AF arrive later in the day when I'm working from home on my own. I really hoped we would get a BFP this month.
I don't know which is worse - seeing one line or seeing AF to be honest.

But another cycle, another opportunity! Much love and luck to both of you.

strawberrysummer19 · 17/09/2020 10:47

Well it's only a couple of days I guess but still it's like where I haven't come on yet it's like a tease - I was on this by this time going my last month

So tempting not to test I know!

That's true it's both horrible but I'm unfortunately 5 yrs down the line so I just can't test early anymore

I have my hycosy booked for next month and I fell pregnant that very cycle with my little girl so fingers crossed
