Magical March 2016 TWW

Looks like you just Oed yesterday, essnce. Fx some sperm from 2 days before made it.

Princess, consudering your recent history of spotting and possible polyp/uterine lining issue, I really would not be concerned by a little brown spotting, especially as your tests are progressing nicely. But I'm sorry it's stressing you out.

I was looking through my past charts, and only 7/12 cycles TTC while swaying have well timed attempts (I.e. no more than 4 days before O and at least 12 hours before O). That includes this month which I consider a fail bc hardly any semen from my early O day attempt made it inside me. Ugh!

PrincessMom I know it's hard not to but try not to compare the 10dpo to the 11dpo test. The one from today is darker but you're not going to see a huge difference because hcg takes 48-72 hours to double plus test sensitivity and amount of dye vary. FWIW the new FRER aren't as sensitive/don't have as much dye because I've noticed I tend to get better lines with the old style ones.

I hope you're able to get your levels checked for peace of mind and hopefully your bleeding stops soon.

Thanks ladies you are all so sweet
I just took the clear blue weeks and got 1-2 weeks on it with an hour hold I couldn't wait, first time using that test. Still waiting on doc.

Princess, try testing with a CB Digital (NOT the weeks estimator) tomorrow; if you get pregnant then your HCG is at least 50miu. FRERs and CB weeks are around 10miu.

Princessmom the lines look like they are progressing nicely, I am just amazed at the lines because in three pregnancies I never got a positive before day 14 past ovulation but I suppose we are all different. I think it is important that you compare this with your own previous pregnancies as I think you reported that you had similar spotting with one of your previous? if so I might just be normal for you in pregnancy, I never had any spotting ever in pregnancy so that would be a concern for me. Two of my friends were pregnant and one had a lot of spotting early on, we were so worried about it the other one had nothing but the text book pregnancy, the lady with the spotting is not 5 months in to her pregnancy with a healthy baby and the other lady had a missed miscarriage discovered at 10 weeks, so you just don't know. Also it does not seem like it has got any worse, I have never had a chemical or a miscarriage but I would presume that it would start to increase? I am keeping everything crossed for you. Maiden that is so frustrating that the timing was not optimal on so many attempts. I never had any problems getting pregnant but I bet now that am focusing so much on timing, it will take me ages, such a frustrating process x

ALso princessmom, I was wondering, I don't expect you to answer this, it is just something to think about, could the spotting be unrelated to the pregnancy? are you going to the toilet a lot to check spotting? I found the time my AF was late I was in the toilet every 5 minutes checking and I annoyed the skin iykwim? x

I am not checking that often it mostly my "cm" that is light brown.
Doc finally called and is doing a beta for me in 2 hours! I'm so glad!

I spot with all my pregnancies my first I spot one day around 8 weeks and had missed miscarriage found out at 12 weeks. Spot with my daughter and my youngest son for about 8 days straight at around 4-5 weeks, with my oldest I spotted further along. I spotted with my youngest whole pregnancy.

Just scared! And I have low pelvic pressure little side and back pain doesn't hurt just feel different so I'm trying to relax which is hard with 3 kids.

Thank u ladies

I did do frer digital does that matter? I got two yes so far

The FRER digis are also super sensitive around 10miu I believe. I'm sure your beta will be great. It sounds like spotting is common for you.

Unfortunately I went out of town on the day of my +opk so couldn't get any more attempts in. Feeling my chances this month are pretty slim to none lol! But yes, I agree that I am probably 2dpo today.
