Cheapie PREGO test my friend, and I took a cheapie opk right along with it that is almost similar to that ghost line. haha

my first BFP with this one was the faintest little ghost line on an internet cheapie test (so faint it wouldn't show up in a photo) - so dipped a FRER in the same pee and got an obvious line on it!
pee on a FRER please!! lol

OMG I didn't know that!!! I wish I had one right now, but if we're patient.. in a few days I should have a line if I am indeed prego.
I can get 100 ovulation and 20 preg tests for under $20.
Hubby won't budge on FRER..however I did show him the ghost line yesterday morning and he's like "it's there, but you have to really concentrate to see it.. " nah you could see it easier, he was just in denial!
Well it's darker now.. so :P hahaha is what I will tell him.

I hate to freak him out at all though because then he will FOR SURE not BD next cycle.

Oh gosh is there something I didn't read before Taking Vitex!? Like the spotting and AF like cramps. .
I feel like such a TTC virgin :hair:

So we dtd again on 4th day which was -1.And i got my BFP after ttc for a year! So something worked out in the end.The only side effect i noticed with vitex and i took it with Saw palmetto was the usual menstrual migraine i got disappeared but once i stopped taking them on ov the migraines started again. So i dont know if it helped with my hormones in that way. Probably nothing to it but just something i noticed.Best of luck maybeoneday and butterfly spirit.xx

OMG did I miss a BFP in the middle of this post!?! AAA!! congrats!

Brown spotting a day ro two after O is normal and "O spotting". Sometime the fluid that comes out with your egg has blood in it and that blood can find its way out. Since it's brownish, that's almost certainly what it is.

If you're taking cran/baby aspirin, they can contribute to O spotting but some months you just get it randomly. I think I've had it 3-5 times in my life (never when swaying) just at various points.

Another possibility (again, if you're taking cran/baby aspirin, this can be likely) is that your cervix gets very open and soft around ovulation and it is prone to getting injured, and then if you BD a lot or check your pH, you can cause little owies that don't even hurt when you do it, but can cause a little bleeding, bright red, pink, or brown depending on how severe it is.

Don't worry too much about this, like I mentioned before I took the vitex for !!!2 weeks!!!! and I was not just a little bit pg either...I was a month pg at this point but didn't know because of the "AF-that-was-not-AF".

The baby at 3 DPO could not have absorbed anything anyway, and at 3DPO your corpus luteum was still going strong. AT 10 DPO the baby could have been implanted by that point and also a CL could be breaking down, so it's much riskier.

I did have more O cramping while on Vitex, but also baby aspirin/cran can cause O cramping to be very severe.

Butterfly, I've always heard if the line is there, then the line is THERE! Congrats, I hope it keeps getting darker!!!!
