Okay AF was suppose to show today. No AF thus far and usually I get cramps before she comes anyways to let me know and none of that either. I'm not spotting persay but when I wipe it is a light brownish color. Any suggestions on to what it could be? When AF shows it's pink or red blood anyways never brown. I'm totally confused now. Would I even mark it down as spotting if you don't have to wear a panty liner?

I don't think light brownish discharge is considered spotting.

It can be implantation spotting. I've never had, but I heard and read in this board that it can happen late. How long is your luteal phase? if you have a 10 or 12 days, that's even more promising.
Are u testing?

My luteal phase is 17days. 16DPO past my O and I'm always on time with AF. I took a test Saturday and it came back BFN.

For me I always get 2 days of brownish color on TP off and on before AF comes, and I mark it down as spotting I am not really sure if you are supposed to consider it spotting or not but I always do. It could also be a sign of implantation, if it was me I would wait a couple of days and test again if still no AF.
GL- hopefully you will get a BFP soon!

I agree with the PP, might be impl. bleeding. Do you have any more hpt's? If so, try to hold your pee for about 4 hours, and test...if you can't hold it that long, wait until the morning and test with FMU.


and then of course there is the possibility that AF is on her way, arriving shortly...but let us know either way!!


good luck!!

I marked it down as spotting since it started back up this morning. It's just odd because I've never had this. My bb's are no longer sore either which is strange. POAS with FMU and got BFN this morning. If I don't get my AF by next Monday I figured I'd make an appt. with the doc. Thanks again for responding.
