Spotting or not? 🤔

Hello!
I can’t work out if this is spotting or not?… I’m 10dpo today.

I had my progesterone tested at CD22 (6dpo) and got the results of 34nmol/l (normal for that day- proving I ovulated too), so I don’t think the potential ‘spotting’ could be from low progesterone.

We DTD this morning and afterwards I noticed that my creamy CM was tinged with a slight colour- that sort pictured but the pictured one seems more noticeable. But my period is due in 2 days.

Hoping and wishing this is our month- cycle 11; I had a hycosy this month, my lining was great (which from previous scans it wasn’t) and my husband who had been told a few months ago he had low sperm count has had another test and all looking good!

I’ve also been very tired these past few days (lots of long naps) and have had a lot of creamy CM, and on/off twinging and light cramping.

Attached are photos of my underwear and when I wiped- several hours after DTD.

thank you in advance for your opinions.

I have had similar type spotting and currently waiting to be able to test. Evening of 4dpo to 7dpo for me and currently 9dpo right now. I'm hoping it's a good sign 🙏

@Hen2000 fingers crossed for us! ✨ Have you had any other potential ‘symptoms’ this cycle?

@MissEmily5 yes some cramping, backache,metallic taste etc but tests negative so far even though I know it's very early.

When do you plan on taking a test?

MissEmily5 · 21/07/2024 22:01

@Hen2000 I have had cramping too, but I’ve felt crampy since my hycosy which I had 13 days ago, it’s very odd. Although I would say it’s more like a dull slightly dragging ache.
I’ve also been very tired (lots of naps the past few days).

Still very early days- i’m resisting temptation, thought about it this morning but I don’t think I can handle seeing a BFN. I’m due on either tomorrow or Tuesday. My period hasn’t been the most consistent this year! 🙈when are you due?

Mine also feels more like a dragging. Boob's are sensitive too!

This is actually my first month ovulating I haven't gotten my period back yet since breastfeeding. Premom app suggests testing Wednesday and they are predicting period Friday but only basing that on when I ovulated.

I completely understand that! I hate seeing the negatives too! I haven't decided if I'm going to wait a couple of days or keep doing the amazon tests

I’m 11dpo today and having very similar spotting. I’m only CD28 and usually my cycles are 30-36 days so this is incredibly odd for me. Often get cycles that drag out and I begin to hope the lack of period is a pregnancy, but then it always comes. But she never, EVER comes early.

I'm 10dpo today normally have cycles which are 30/32 days and never early also

@ThisTipsyQuoter @Hen2000 such a pain isn’t it! Before I started TTC my cycles were pretty much like clockwork. But this past year they have been crazy.
I’ve had some more creamy brown spotting today- I’m pretty sure it means I’m out and I can expect to come on tomorrow. Making us hit the one year mark 😔😤

@MissEmily5 I was spotting for a good 3 days it stopped and never got heavy or bright red so there is definitely still hope for you too. I feel like im cramping more today and tired but negative test this morning at 10dpo

MissEmily5 · 22/07/2024 14:27

@Hen2000 I hope there is hope for us both!

Fingers crossed it doesn’t continue… seems to have slowed but I’m not optimistic, this far on TTC it’s almost like a protection barrier now to just think the worst 😕

I caved today at 11dpo and BFN- again it’s early but I only seem to have a 12 day luteal phrase though. Was hoping to see a difference this month after finding out my progesterone was fine and my lining was good- fingers crossed for future cycles though
