2 Days Late now spotting!

[StephLamb]

Hey guys... currently 2 days late BFN on the day AF due, started spotting this morning shortly after sex. Not much there only when I wipe... spotting is unusual for me as is being late I’m usually bang on 25 days. Been TTC for 13 months now... I’ve had all the symptoms & really did think I could be pregnant now I’m just confused HELP please I’m at home in a proper slump wasting my day off!!
Got the odd twinge this morning on my right hand side... usually get bad Cramps day before AF & Day of AF but barely anything... do I need to just take this as w weird cycle & move on?? Please don’t sugar coat it... give it me straight 🙈😩

How many dpo are you? It could be implantation bleeding or if it was after BD could be an irritated cervix.

Hi Steph,
I don't want to put you down, but it does sound like AF is on the way I really hope I'm wrong!!!
What were your other symptoms?
A lot of baby dust

 

[StephLamb]

Thanks for getting back to me guys... nausea, peeing, tiredness, headache for over a week, sore heavy boobs, cold like symptoms, Lower back pain, gassy... crying all the time ����*♀️
15DPO
I think it’s AF just really don’t want it to be �� xx

 

[Abi88]

15dpo you should be able to test especially with a Frer.

 

[StephLamb]

Thanks Hun I’m gonna test tomorrow... I think the spotting is actually getting lighter hardly even a tinge when I wiped last about an hour after last time x

Really hope it isn't your AF on the way but with a FRER at 15dpo you will have a really dark line if you have conceived.
Good luck x

Hmmm yea you would think if you were pregnant it would definitely have picked something up on a test by now.

Unfortunately its back to just waiting to see what happens.x

 

[StephLamb]

Thanks guys.. it doesn’t seem to be getting any heavier... I’ll test tomorrow... if BFN then I’ll move forward clean slate looking forward to lots of BD!
My brain is in total overdrive!! I hate this... is it just me who’s crazy???

 

[IVW]

Hell no - all us girls in here who are ttc are totally 'crazy' it gets to the best of us dont worry

 

[StephLamb]

Thank the lord it’s not just me....
has anyone tried fertility acupuncture?? Read up on it last month think it might be worth try this month... any advise or stories?x

 

[chattychar1990]

You are definitely not the only crazy one!
I am an absolute nutcase in my 2ww lol.
I haven't had fertility acupuncture, its quite expensive isn't it? There are plenty of other cheaper things you could try before that hun?
Are you taking vitamins at all? x

 

[StephLamb]

Been taking that provieve Max for 2 month but so bloody expensive we’ve both been taking it but £50 a month each... I’m thinking switch to pregnacare or something then try the acupuncture with the money saving off that...
have you been trying long chattychar??x

 

[StephLamb]

Procieve Max... damn autocorrect x

 

[chattychar1990]

Wow that is alot of money each month.
All you need to take is folic acid + Vit d (you can get superdrugs own brand) which works out so much cheaper. Everything else isn't really needed if you have a good diet. I was on seven seas vitamins for 2 cycles but now just switched to the folic and vit d.
I am now on 5th cycle hun so not long really x

What test did you use to get the negative ? I had all the symptoms you’ve had & just knew I was over a week ago & sure enough I am. Had negatives cheapies & a negative clear blue digital last Sunday (clearly way to early to test) but had obvious positive frer on Wednesday & 1-2 weeks on CB digital yesterday so it could simply be that your HCG levels need to increase same as mine did. Sending baby dust xx

 

[StephLamb]

I was just taking folic acid originally.. cos that’s what I took when I started trying with the boys.. with Jack & Freddie I had my implant took out in January pregnant in February.. I was 24 then... I’m now 32 & thinking my age is what’s making it take so long... my partner had a semen analysis I had blood work & all ok so I guess it’s just takin it’s time 😩 x

Thanks Hun... I just used cheapies... have a clear blue digital sitting there but heard they aren’t great... if this spotting doesn’t turn into anything more I’ll try a FR tomorrow...
I don’t know if because having twins first pregnancy & double the hormone I was kinda expecting the same sort of thing but now I’m starting to think it literally was double the hormone so will show quicker 🤷🏼*♀️ I don’t know fingers crossed!!
Congrats & your BFP need you to come rub your prego tummy on mine 😆 x

How are you tracking your ovulation if you don’t mind me asking? Are you using ovulation tests and checking for fertile cervical mucous etc? (I know that sounds gross by the way!) x

CB Digi is definitely more reliable than the internet cheapies hun but i would only use a digi once i got a positive on a FRER x
