What do you think?

I am in hiding for MANY reasons, but I wanted to ask you what you think.

My LP has been 11 days for the past year. Well, AF should have been here yesterday. I didn't have any AF symptoms until yesterday. I had mild AF feeling (I guess minor cramps/achiness) in my belly on and off starting in the evening. Not really cramps. I checked and saw a tiny bit of blood internally. So I thought AF was here. I used a tampon and went on to bed. Well, woke up this morning took it out (TMI, sorry! ) and there was only a small amount of brown blood on it? I thought for sure AF was here. I have not had any spotting at all all day and yet I still feel that AF feeling throughout my belly. Still not really cramps. I have never spotted before AF in my life. I ALWAYS get AF within hours of seeing any blood and it's in full force right away, always. So my question is, do you think it's worth testing? My boobs have been sore (which is not unusual these last few months) and I have been feeling "off" on and off yesterday and today. I've also had mild ovulation twinges on and off since I "O".

I'm pretty sure I "O" on 10/22. I didn't use OPK's but I know my body, signs of "O" from years of experience TTC. I think AF is coming any minute. I keep going to the bathroom to check, but nothing. I don't feel leaking, but my tummy feels like it. I'm just concerned about the spotting. I NEVER do!!! What do you think? Should I test? Thanks for listening.

Re: What do you think?

i would definitely test... and use FMU tomorrow if AF still didnt show!

good luck!

Re: What do you think?

ITA with Deanna.

Test tomorrow with FMU if AF doesn't show.

I know it may seem strange, but I have NEVER spotted my entire life before getting AF - and there was one cycle while TTC where I did. I spotted then had nothing until the next evening. So strange things happen sometimes, but hopefully this will be a BFP for you!

Re: What do you think?

I think you should test but I did want to let you know that I never spotted until these past few months since I started TTC - like Mother Nature is playing tricks on me. The month before last I had the same thing - brown discharge -put in a tampon and when I took it out there was only a slight amount of brown blood and that was it - nothing for the rest of the day so I started getting hopeful but then some time the next day AF arrived.

Same thing last month - Very light spotting then nothing and then a day later AF arrived.

I dont want to take away your hope as you still might get a BFP but just wanted to tell you my situation.

LOTS of LUCK to you

Re: What do you think?

Thanks everyone!

AF still has not shown. So strange. I did test yesterday evening and this morning using Dollar Tree Tests. I thought I saw the most faintest line ever yesterday, but there probably wasn't anything there. You know when you start seeing what you are looking for? Well, this morning's test I could have sworn I saw the most faintest line again (almost not there) close to the 10 minute line. But said there's no line. I believe it was only 4-5 minutes later and I could sware there was something there. I know you're not suppose to, but I always did with my other PG, I took the test apart, and I saw an EXTREMELY FAINT line. It did not look like an evap line either. I really thought I saw something. Still no AF, and if I remember correctly I didn't use Dollar Tree tests until I was at least 14-15dpo with my other PG and I still got VERY faint lines on it. I guess if AF doesn't appear today, still feels like she will, then I'll test using a different brand. Thanks!

ETA: Why is it when you POAS that you check it over and over and over and over again? Like something is magically going to appear on it!

Re: What do you think?

For those of you that used Dollar Tree tests, do any of you have pics of your early faint BFP's? Thanks!

Re: What do you think?

i would go out and get a FRER... sometimes the dollar tree ones show up really late! i know it did for me with my first pregnancy..

so maybe this is your month!!

Re: What do you think?

VERY faint - you can barely see it





ETS: I got such a faint the line on a DT test the first time I was pg I threw it out - didn't think anything of it.

The second time I was pg I tested with DT test, and kept my sample (in a little cup). When I saw there was something slightly there, I used the FRER to confirm.
