What's going on?!

(Sorry if TMI)

I am at CD39, which is a little long for me but not totally unusual. My temps during the beginning of this cycle were a little higher than normal and have since been all over the place. It looks like a didn't even ovulate. This is my third cycle charting, and I clearly ovulated the first two, so I'm hoping this is just a wacky month. OK, so my question is...This morning I had a little spotting that I thought was finally AF (I was actually happy about that!) but then it quickly stopped and hasn't come back. It was barely enough for a pantyliner. No cramps at all, which I usually get with AF. Also, the spotting was brownish rather than red. Sounds like how I've heard implantation bleeding described, but that can't be it if I didn't even ovulate. Any thoughts?? Thanks everyone!

Hi Cristina!

Just because FF doesn't pinpoint an "O" date for you doesn't mean thst you did not "O". I believe Tara's FF chart gave her a different "O" than the Dr's office & ultrasounds. I also read a post today (unfortunately I cannot remember exactly which one) where FF did not show "O" and she got a BFP!

So... depending on how long your cycle usually is (since you don't know when / if you O'd, cannot pinpoint LP) that may give you a guestimate on what's happening. I think that if you are actually on the long side for your cycle this month, it probably isn't implantation. But that doesn't mean that it's AF either.

Wish I had something more definite for you. Good luck & I hope that it was just some spotting & you get a BFP!

When you are having a crazy annovulatory cycle its not at all unusual to have some weird spotting/bleeding as well. I have been charting at FF for exactly a year and in that time I had one an ov cycle. I think I spotted for about 10days before AF finally showed! The next month I was right back on track.

I didn't think that anything was out of the ordinary that month, nothing that would stress me to the point of not ovulating. It was just a freak thing!

I hope something happens quickly for you so you can start fresh!

i looked at your chart and i see that you used a opk, right?

it said you oed cd 25 which would put you at 15 dpo. you were

only 12 dpo when you tested, it may have been to soon than, have

you retested? just ff says you didnt o doesnt mean you didnt.

some woman spot when there period would have showed. good luck to you.

And keep us posted. baby dust.

Oh, Angela, you are getting my hopes up! I know FF isn't perfect, but aren't my temps way too low for pregnancy to even be a possibility? I temp very consistently, at the same time and under the same conditions every day, so I think they're pretty accurate.

Oh, don't worry about it! I meant that in a good way :)

I actually went out tonight and bought some HPTs for tomorrow morning. I know it's a very long shot, but at least then I'll know!

One more thing...I'm taking a 3-hour flight tomorrow. Do I have anything to worry about? Again, it is a very, very long shot, but if I am pg...should I NOT fly this early in the pregnancy?

thanks for any advice!
