14DPO - Brown spotting

[CosmicVoyager]

Hello everyone,

I hope you're all doing well.

I need some advice. Today marks 14 days past ovulation (DPO), and my peak fertility was around March 10th to 11th. Normally, my period starts heavy on 14DPO after some spotting on 13DPO. But this cycle, I've had brown spotting on 13DPO and today when I wipe with little on panty liner, which stopped this afternoon.

I've taken a pregnancy test (no branding), and it's negative. I haven't been tracking my basal body temperature (BBT).

Besides feeling nauseous and having aversions to certain smells and foods, I haven't noticed many symptoms. Should I take another test? Any advice would be appreciated.

I don't have advice but just wanted to post in solidarity as I'm 15dpo and have also been brown spotting on and off for the last couple of days. It's rubbish not knowing what's going on with your body, hopefully someone has some advice for us both 🤞

@YorkshirePeridot yes, it’s so annoying as it’s near AF 😅 have u experienced any symptoms and have u been testing?

@CosmicVoyager I've never had to wait so long for AF to properly start! I tested on Saturday and got a negative. Might double check it tomorrow morning. No symptoms other than cramps.
