So confused right now

[Vintageling]

So I'm not convinced we caught ovulation but I think I ovulated on cd17 so 10th June. I'm due AF today but normally get it the day before my natural cycles app predicts. I got brown mixed with CM not yesterday but the day before then nothing then today I got one lot of pink cm I'm 13dpo today but still no AF. My temps have dropped up not come back up.
I've had awful neusea this week where I've been hugging the sick bucket and my boobs are so painful but don't know if the boobs are fibro related or pms or early pregnancy. I honestly doubt we caught that egg but I'm so confused I have never ever spotted like this before AF ever but I know you can get implantation up to 12dpo. What is this am I getting AF or have I been one super lucky bugger. Will be testing tomorrow but I'm so doubtful I don't know if it's worth testing. This is frustrating and confusing it's my first time ttc and this is my first cycle.

Brown spotting when AF is due is common in early pregnancy. Baby nuzzles in and can cause a bit of bleeding. But of course this could just be your period stating... Your other symptoms sound promising but they could be psychosomatic unfortunately. There's really no way to tell without testing, but you absolutely could be pregnant. Take a test!

Thanks I've been trying not to read into anything but with the spotting which I never get ever in any cycle I've ever had. If AF hasn't arrived by morning then I'm going to test with fmu. I haven't been hopeful at all about this month up untill now with everything being so weird

 

[Crumble]

I will pestering you now , I can't wait!!!!!

 

[Chase]

Fingers crossed its your bfp!

The temp drop usually means AF in my experience. I would test.

 

[Vintageling]

Thanks ladies yea the temp drop is normally AF for me to

 

[Vintageling]

Looks like a negitive here and just after taking the test waiting for if AF showed up

Sorry x

It's ok I'm just glad I know what's going on now. My pms past 2 cycles had been really weird but at least I know if I get things like that it's more then likely pms. I never used to get it if just wake up to AF and spend first part of my morning sorting the havoc that comes with it lol

Hey V
What made you think that you O'd on CD17? Did you do an OPK?
It's a bit hard to tell from your chart because your temps aren't showing a pattern which entirely convinces me of O....
If there is a chance that you are experiencing the odd anovulatory cycle it would explain the spotting, tender breasts and nausea etc. because of the hormonal factor.

Either way I'm keeping my FX

I've charted for a while with my app that I use not long with FF and it's the same patter after. I have a pain condition so can't say with ovulation pain as I don't trust it as I get alot of pelvic pain with my fibromyalgia and no I didn't use opks or monitor cm this cycle as I didn't totally understand them but I do now do will be using them this cycle. I never thought of anovulatort cycle not quite sure what they are to be honest other then not ovulation don't know how I'd notice one

A big my darling

I've had a few coming off the pill. With an anovulatory cycle the only way of confirming O is with BBT (clear temp shift). Because your body gears up for ovulation you can have a few patches of EWCM during your cycle and also + OPKs but never actually O. It's like your body cocks the pistole but never pulls the trigger. Eventually you'll have what is known as an estrogen breakthrough bleed, your body hits the proverbial reset button and tries to ovulate again. Many women who don't chart bbt might think their period is late (false hope or needless fear) when this was the cause. It's normal to experience hormonal discomfort (excessive symptoms that you would expect in early pregnancy adding injury to insult).

These cycles are normal as long as it's not repetitive, ie. you might get one every now and then

Thanks hun that's really useful and really good to know

I don't really know what to say except maybe get a blood test if AF still hasn't shown up.
Don't think I'm getting much luck this cycle either.
