December 2WW

Well I am no longer spotting. It stopped for good at 4:00 today so only 1.5 days of spotting that was never heavy like my pre-AF spotting. No more cramping. Nipple sensitivity and decrease in milk supply is still here. DS2 didn't want the second boob and acted like the milk had a funny taste! Strange! I may test in the morning with an IC and FMU. I'll be 12dpo...We'll see....

I have no idea what is going on! Negative IC this morning with FMU. Red/brown CM showed back up this morning but only when I check- not on my liner or when I wipe!

Also, itmn I woke up cramping! I went pee and it went away in a few minutes just like when I was pregnant with both DS's. WTH? I called the RE, because I am supposed to get day 3 bloodwork done. I have no idea what to call day 3! She said if this continues to call on Monday, and they will do something different.

I guess I will keep testing every morning. Just like AF to be a b!$&h and mess with me! Watch, she'll show up sometime in the next few days! Ugh! I just want closure on this cycle! This in limbo sucks!

Looking at when I believe I Oed, AF should come on Sunday with me being 14dpo. So it could still be too early for me to test, even tough my online period tracker has AF arriving yesterday. Ugh!

Now it is very light brown mixed with EWCM. Seriously! WTH!

It seems to be worse itmn after emptying my full bladder, then it stops slowing over the morning.

XX, you had multiple days in a row of positive OPKs, right? So is it possible you Oed 1-2 days later than you think? How many days of positives did you get and what day did you consider O day? I wish you were temping so I could see your chart, I'm much better with visuals than word problems.

I'm sorry you're dealing with such on and off confusion. Do you typically get EWCM before AF?

As for me, 11DPO now (though I think I Oed early in the am of the following day so I consider myself technically 10DPO in my mind, despite my chart). BFN again. I've been using 2 brands of cheaps strips. One brand claims 10miu sensitivity, the other 20 or 30miu. In terms of the less sensitive strips, I have 2 different lot numbers. Lot #1 has been giving me faint, thin colorless shadows since I started testing on 7DPO, though they don't show up in the time period. I did dip one into some pre-O urine as a control and no shadow.

This morning I saw the line while the dye was still running across, and it looked pink, too. Definitely darker than any of the previous shadowy lines, despite today's urine being not very concentrated especially compared to my FMU the prior days. Dry the line is still there and still darker than anything I've seen so far, but I'm not sre there's any colour to it. Lot #2 strips and the 10miu strips have all been stark white. On 9DPO I tested with my last 20miu BabyHopes strip, also stark white.

So I really don't know what to think! I also have full on clear EWCM today again. It is so tempting to use one of my precious FRERs but I will wait until Monday evening or Tuesday morning. I've never had an LP longer than 14 days and since I ran out of Vitex over a week ago I'll be surprised if I make it that far.

Here's my chart - I've been feeling very hot, almost feverish since waking up yesterday, but I'm definitely not sick: 4a5f89 Ovulation charts on FertilityFriend.com

I have been feeling the same way Maiden! I only had 2 days of positive opks, which is normal for me. I Oed three days later than I usually do though. I believe I Oed on the 6th the day after my last positive opk when I started temping. I woke up the morning of the 7th with a temp of 99.2! I am not sick, but they have been really high since then. Today it was 99.6!! I normally have dry CM right when my pre-AF spotting starts. Since I have Oed, my CM has been EWCM-creamy. Even with the red/brown CM, it has been either creamy or EW in texture, which it not at all like my pre-AF spotting.

I will keep testing with my cheapies. If I get a positive or a faint positive with those, I'll test with my others. I just hope this won't be another chemical. That is my fear. Although last cycle I got my BFP before spotting started, and it was different from what I am experiencing this time. Last month it was pure blood not red/brown tinged creamy/EW CM.

What will be will be. I am surprisingly handling this well. I just want closure, but I am trying to remain indifferent until I know one way or another. Something is going to happen, because my milk supply has dipped. Either I am pregnant, but it is too early to show on a test, or I am going to get AF soon. I just am sick of waiting!

FX for you, maiden and xx!

Another high temp today, so I'm sure I o'ed. I'm officially in the 2ww now! At least I have Christmas to help keep me distracted this time.

Looking good, sage!

XX, apparently my brain isn't working right...maybe all the migraines broke something. Thanks for clarifying your O. How truly strange that you're running so hot, too. Like you, I'm not willing to test with a more expensive, proper test until I see a real line on a cheapie or am absolutely without a doubt at least a couple days late. I also am feeling extremely frustrated and just wish either I'd get a BFP or AF. This perplexing limbo with all its mixed signals is making me too hopeful. The longer it goes on the greater the chance of heartbreak.

In other news, Muse is touring Europe this summer and their 2nd concert will be at a place 30 minutes from me! I have been particularly obsessed with them the past 6 months and I can't wait to see them live. Although, I'm not sure if I should try to make their 1st concert as well/instead, it's in Munich which is several hours away but maybe opening night is more special? Plus the 1st concert is in a stadium while the 2nd is on camping grounds, and my back would do a lot better with seating. Then again, long car drives are really bad for my back, too. I've lnly been to a handful of big concerts in my entire life bc I hate crowds, so not sure what to do. Both concerts are part of 3 days long weekend rock festivals with huge line ups including Metallica, KISS, Incubus, Judas Priest and others.

We have so much in common Maiden! I love Muse and am a fan of Metallica, Incubus (the lead singer is HOT), and Judas Priest! I would totally go on opening night!
