Lurker needing reassurance (M)

Okay so i was posting here for a few months, and we took a break through September into November. I paid very close attention during that time what my body really was doing and changed to Metaforin for my blood sugar issues- also I have PCOS.


Fast forward to Nov 20th and 24th, everything looks great on both nights- BD our brains out! LOL --- so then on the 26 I have some spotting. Really thought AF was showing up a week early- but nothing more than on the TP and it stopped the next day.


Now December 1st, I start spotting again. Figure that it is AF since it was due on the 4th. Spotted, but never started AF again-- we are not at Dec 5th. I would consider myself late at this point. But I don't want to test and get a BFN, of course.


Should I wait until next week, and see if it is just stress from holidays, and family stuff-- or test and see??? Do you think it was just implantation spotting?

Hi Melissa,
Don't be lost. These are a bunch of great ladies and I think you've come too the right place. If you believe you are late I would test. When you spotted that could of been implantation bleeding and from what I've heard a lot of women spot during the first part or their entire pregnancy. I would test, who knows it could be a BFP:) Please let us know how you are doing and if you have any other questions or concerns. There is a lot of love and support on this board!:)

*hugs*

Thank you for the warm welcome-- I am testing tomorrow morning, kind of a one of those that likes the FMU for the test. We will see tomorrow.


Spotting stopped, and CP is closed, soft and mid-high position, so I am hoping that is all good.

Well I tested this morning, and it was a BFN-- i was really expecting a positive-- everything seems to be right. SPotting at 7 days post ovulation--spotting all this week. But maybe it is just stress and weight issues.


I have another test, so I will check again in a few days. But normally what happens, is that I test and then start the next day or so-- it is like my body just wants to make me buy the test! LOL


I keep telling myself that I have three beautiful children, and that I have nothing to be sad about-- but we are at 9 months since we started trying. If it had worked the first month, then we could be having a baby now! August would have been a wonderful month to have a baby-- now I guess I will have to see a September baby instead!


I know I am lying to myself that it is okay-- I am sad, disappointment, mad, all of that. Hopefully something will change next week.

*Hugs* I'm sorry I didn't respond right away last night, my husband and I actually had the night together and we took advantage of it;) I'm sorry about your BFN! I actually had another BFN this morning too. I took a test yesterday afternoon 9DPO and today 10 DPO with FMU with no success. As much as I try too remember that it is all in God's hands its still not easy too be disappointed month after month. You've been trying longer then I have. If nothing comes too fruition this month It'll be cycle #5 for us. My first son was a surprise and since we didn't need too try I just expected that it would be just as easy. I thought 1 or 2 months tops I'd be PG but almost 6 months later that hasn't been true. Who knows maybe this is your month. Like the girls here always say your not out til AF comes! GL my friend and KMP:)

just wanted to let you know AF showed up last night-- oh well. Strange thing was even my boobs were starting to hurt-- IPS are just not fair.


We will keep trying until March, then take another break until June/July. Cannot do a mid winter baby, I am nearly an hour from my doc and hospital.

Sorry AF showed. Yes IPS is a B****:) Well the good thing about AF is that at least you can start your cycle over and BD and catch the egg this time;) Waiting for AF too start when all you do is get BFN's and hold your breath can be such a pain. At least this time you can take a deep breath and start the process over again without so much worry. That's where I am at now. AF is due tomorrow, BFN's and the hope slowly dwindling. Goodluck this cycle, take sometime too relax and just have fun:) KMP k??

i totally agree- I am just going to "let it happen" this month. I cannot go on infertility until 1 year any how-- so we still have until Feb to try on our own.


Honestly, we are so busy with stuff this month it would be a miracle, since we don't even go to bed at the same time. LOL
