Hi Netti! It's common to have a bit of midcycle spotting while BFing. I've had it in the beginning with 2 of my boys. If it continues to happen, I would get it checked out. Also, this can happen in anovulatory cycles, which are also common while BFing a young one.
How are things? Good to hear from you!

My Ovulation Chart
Congrats ME MOM, fingers crossed for a healthy sticky bean for you.
AFM,
Tested again yesterday with a FRER and it was blank as usual. Went to get my confirmation blood work done this morning so I can stop my progesterone pills but the lab lost my paperwork. Now I will go tomorrow morning to get my levels checked which isn't a big deal because I think I am going to keep taking the progesterone pills a few extra days this week so it delays my next cycle since DH will be out of town the following weekend and I don't want to miss important attempts or possible IUI.
Thoughts on what to do next cycle as the combo cycle doesn't seem to be helping at all. I was thinking maybe just Femara or just Gonal F and giving that a shot this month. I did get 2 chemical pregnancies the 2 months I took just Femara this year before jumping to combo cycles so I think I might just try that this month. (Looking back through my charts it has been 6 months since I have had a BFP :(. Also oddly enough the last few months I have taken the Gonal F in my combo cycles I have not had any CM that I have noticed which worries me, although all my attempts around O I do you use PreSeed.
Me Mom
For the pineapple, did you just eat the core or did you slice a whole pineapple into 5 or 6 pieces and eat all of it? Can't hurt trying that this cycle for something different to try.
Tfahn good luck to you this cycle.
AFM- I'm trying not to symptom spot but I've been having some pulling/tugging low in my pelvis for about 2 days. Also, yesterday I had a feeling like a spider spinning a web deep on my left side.
Just wondering if this may be implantation? I'm 7DP0. No temp drop...just the pulling and spider web spinning feeling off and on yesterday.
With my previous pregnancy implantation was 6DPO. I had a big temp drop and spotting then. Not having that this time. 😒
Hi Netti! :)
Tfahn, are you taking aspirin? My RE said that baby aspirin can help when ttc. Maybe you should ask your doctor about that? FX for you!
MeanVeggieGal, it very well could be! FX!!!!
I had a temp drop today. I don't know what it is but I'm just not feeling very hopeful this cycle. I'm just kind of waiting for AF. I'm starting a new job tomorrow. Maybe the stress of that is making me feel more negative about ttc. I don't know. It's frustrating. I'm also in the process of selling my house, which seems to just be taking forever. I guess I'm just having a depressed/sad/mopey kind of day. :shrug:
Momamia4 Gl on the new position! Stress can definitely affect, a new job plus house selling is a lot on your plate. Gl with everything!
Mean veggie girl- that sounds promising! Some ladies here mentioned spider sensations as implantation.
I received my hcg levels and doc said implantation happened early, 3-4 dpo - it can happen.
Tfahn - I bought a whole, organic pineapple. Cleaned it thoroughly, slicing it horizontally so l had a core in each piece, along with the pineapple meat (which isn't a must but it's yummy and also a bit of bromelain). I saw a YouTube tutorial because lve never cut up a whole pineapple before lol
The biologist in me weighed the pieces so l knew it was an even amount through all the six days l ate it. I kept it in a tight Tupperware box deep in my fridge.
I by mistake started it on my o day though l was supposed to start 1dpo. You aren't supposed to eat during ovulation because it makes you more acidic but that could be OK for pink sways maybe.. Who knows.
The ladies on my kindara app really swear by this stuff, seems lots got bfps while doing this..
The thing l found out here on a multiple baby thread that bromelain might help sway twins! Causing eggs to split, don't know if this is backed up by research.. Not really aiming for twins.. Gulp lol
Gl and Fx!!

Netti I had midcycle spotting every other month during bf. Maybe have it checked if you want, my doc said it's totally fine. Lots of luck!

Thanks ME Mom, so 1 pineapple for all 6 days correct?
Momamia, I do take a baby aspirin everyday but figured trying the pineapple thing can't hurt. I'm turning 40 this week and need all the help I can get :)
Yes, one whole pineapple. I ate 120-150 grams of pineapple core and meat for those 6 days.
I started reading about it after an lVF doc told a friend of mine to try it for five days after insertion of the embryos.
Gl!
