14dpo - got my hopes up 😞

[Flossy1982]

Hi All,

Due to a family bereavement we ended up taking a break from TTC for 2 months plus I booked in with GP and waiting for results of bloods before further investigations due to struggling to conceive, although we have fallen which were unsuccessful we haven’t fallen as regular as one would hope.
Anyway this month we dtd a few times over my suspected fertile period and I felt very relaxed about the whole thing. I also started crystal meditation (I’ll try anything now 😂)
Anyway I’m due AF on Friday, regular 28 day cycle and normally I have browny red discharge on run up - always had this and told it’s either fibroids or just last months old blood and nothing to worry about but this month I’ve had nothing and very sore boobs. Today I had pink cm on toilet tissue and I’m a bit disappointed.
Just wondering if you’re a spotter did you have a different type of spotting or lack of spotting when you got your BFP? I’m not testing until Friday if no AF but I feel really positive this month

When I say nothing - I mean nothing until today which is unusual and also today is so light and pink which is not the same as how it is usually I’m thinking maybe I shouldn’t lose hope just yet

@Flossy1982 I'm no expert, but if it's light, and not the same as you are used to, there's a good chance of it being implantation bleeding. You could test tomorrow if you haven't got your AF by then.

Thank you. I’m now thinking my spotting that has always been normal and might actually be a deficiency in something and this month I maybe consumed something that helped it. The only things I had different was more red meat (lamb, duck & liver) which is not usual for me and horlicks

Although they say red meat is bad for fertility

@Flossy1982 each cycle is different, and yes, as you said it could also be the diet. Are you planning to test soon?

Yes Friday when I’m due AF if it doesn’t appear properly :) we’ve been trying on & off for 3 years for our first and had some initial tests after a couple of losses and all ok but age isn’t on our side so we are having more tests as we have conceived since last loss. My symptoms definitely change from month to month after so much charting but my period doesn’t that’s regular as clockwork and the spotting has a same pattern so something has definitely changed this month in comparison to the rest of the 36!!! Well apart from the pregnancy ones 💔

@Flossy1982 I’m so sorry for your losses that’s heartbreaking. Fingers crossed for you for Friday xx

Tested last night and negative. It’s the strangest month, still tender boobs, absolutely no cramping when I always suffer badly the day before or day of AF, pink spotting turned into bright red bleed but so light it’s only really on wiping going to the toilet (sorry tmi). I’ve never had a period start like this or feel like this. Blood tests confirmed all hormones are normal so that’s good. I still strangely feel positive 🤣🤣🤣 TTC makes me crackers at this time of the month.
It’ll be interested if it tails off or gets heavier

@Flossy1982 so strange, it's probably the diet as you said! Or even the weather! Who knows! Biology is so complicated. Fingers crossed for you though!
