Hey so first of all I suffer with irregular periods which is an absolute nightmare. My partner and I are ttc. So I was using the Clearblue ovulation.

I think I have completely miscalculated my days.
Last week I took a test and got bfn.

I had light bleeding for about 4/5 days in a row which was on and off. No cramp. Only when I wiped and I had brown discharge as if my period was about to come on.
Nothing.

My breasts have been so so sore! And I have been an emotional mess! I took another test on Sunday there and bfn.

Do I test again? Or do I class that as a light period? But normally my periods are very heavy and very painful this only was when I wiped and no pain whatsoever.

The spotting has now stopped.

Feeling a bit fed up tbh. So frustrating 😓😓😓😓😓

Hi Annie1211!
What cycle day are you on?

Annie1211 · 01/12/2020 13:42

I thought last week I was 12 dpo but I think I've got my days all wrong 😑

I think because of my mood swings and how sore my boobs are!! I never get sore boobs leading up to a period or ever.

Only way to know really is to test again

Annie1211 · 01/12/2020 14:20

@2020wish I know that is the obvious answer. Just so expensive all the time.

I just wish my body was normal and took regular periods 🤦🏽‍♀️😑

I always recommend clear blue 6 days early. They have picked up all 5 of my pregnancies from 7dpo to 11dpo:

A lot of people recommend first response early response but unfortunately they never ever gave me a positive...
I think I spent a fortune buying all different batches from different shops crying wondering why they were all bfn.
Turns out a lot of people have been having issues with them lately so I can’t recommend them. But if you get a clear blue early response and it’s been a week since u last tests then I’m sure it should give u a definite answer now x

If you are as far on as you think an Internet cheapie will show it.
I also find the coop own brand very sensative.
I've always had success with first reponse as well.
But if you're potentially 14+ dpo then any test should show it.
Good luck!

Thankyou everyone. Xx

I ordered 30 cheapies for about £3 off eBay when we're TTC x

Hello, sorry for jumping on your post hun. I’ve been experiencing some spotting for 2-3 days now, it started a light pale pink barely noticeable and then turned to dark brown. I don’t need a panty liner or anything it’s just there when I wipe it’s very light. I’m due on my period on the 10th/11th December. could this be implantation bleeding?

Sexnotgender · 01/12/2020 18:58

I’d get some cheapies, I used one step from Amazon.

User415373 · 01/12/2020 19:18

@anonymous2345 how long are your cycles? Could be implantation bleeding if you're around a week after ovulation. If it is then you would expect a positive within a few days.
Or it could just be random mid cycle spotting - it's so hard to say!
Fingers crossed for you.

Anonymous2345 · 01/12/2020 19:23

@User415373. Not really sure they seem to change quite often. I use a period calculator to let me know when I’m due on and it’s always correct. My app says my fertile days was 21-27 with 25th being ovulation day. Done 2 ovulation test on the day one in morning completely blank and one in evening faint line. Just woundering if this could be early signs?

Anonymous2345 · 01/12/2020 19:24

@User415373 it’s nothing like a period, first wipe was light pink and it’s been brown since. Have stopped spotting now so I’m not sure what to think😞😩

User415373 · 01/12/2020 19:42

@anonymous2345 probably best to just test in a few days and see. It's horrid and feels like our bodies are playing tricks on us!

Anonymous2345 · 01/12/2020 19:45

@User415373 just horrible ain’t it

Annie1211 · 02/12/2020 10:38

Well guess what arrived today ladies?

Yup you guessed it!!! My lovely period!!

Question is do I count day 1 as my period from last week when I started spotting or is day 1 today?

OP posts:

@Annie1211 I would say today, spotting is not counted as the start of your period.

Order some cheapies.

Sending lots of baby dust xx
