Hello - I'm Mae, ttc #2 after 5 years with an IUD. My daughter is 5. She was conceived our first month trying. Now, I'm only in the second month of ttc her sibling.
Possibly a little TMI about spotting to follow :)
I've been using OPK sticks for the last two months, so I've known the exact day or two of ovulation. This cycle, the OPK was + six days ago (Saturday the 20th). Dh and I dtd last Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
For the last two days, I've have very, very minor and light pink or brown spotting but today, it is dark brown, possibly a very burnt red color, and more blood-like. Not enough to land in my underwear, but it's a little shocking when I wipe. Too much for implantation bleeding, I think??
So I'm wondering if it evolves into a full blown period - Does this happen? A period just 6 days post-ovulation? Has it ever happened to one of you?
I should also mention that I think my body may still be getting used to not having an IUD. It was removed in early October and my last period - although it was on time - looked and felt different, obviously, than when I had the IUD (it was in for about 5 years).
Any insight is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

sounds like implantation bleeding to me!!! Give it a few days and take a test! :)
good luck!!
I'm hoping you're right. Hoping like crazy. If this becomes a period, how odd and frustrating that it's only 6 DPO. I guess I will know by tomorrow if it's going to stop or erupt.
Thanks for responding :)

I'm kind of in your boat too. I O'd on the 20th too and started bleeding today..only on 8 dpo. Definitely AF type heaviness and not implantation bleeding. My temps also dropped dramatically today too so I'm pretty sure that's what it is. This was my first and very long cycle off of BCP. I too am worried about the luteal phase. Are you going to maybe try B6? I'm thinking about it but would need to get started on them right away. Anyway, I hope your's is just implantation bleeding as this is when we'd be having implantation. With my DS I had a full week of a period during implantation and he remained intact and is perfect but I wasn't charting then like I am now and My temps just dropped. If they go back up then I'll be testing to make sure it wasn't the repeat of what happened with DS. Best of luck to you!!!

Hi Shannon - I'm sorry you're in the same confusing boat, but it does help to have company, doesn't it? :)
Is B6 supposed to help lengthen the luteal phase?
I don't know if a short luteal phase is going to be a pattern with me, or an anomaly. I have only been tracking my cycle for two months now and last month's luteal phase was 14 days. Hm. I'm not sure what to think - I will just have to see what develops in the next day or so.
If you try B6, will you post the results of the length of your luteal phase?

I know what you mean. I'm not sure if this is just a fluke since it was my first cycle off BCP. I've had issues with progesterone in my
