Hi - New and Question!

Hi Everyone!

I've been lurking for a long time, but I just wanted to introduce myself to you all. DH and I are in our first month of TTC and we are really excited to start a family!

You all seem so helpful, so I hope you don't mind me asking a question as well. I have been in my 2WW and would have received AF yesterday. I tested this morning and it's negative.

I've had some light spotting and mild cramping though the last two days - do you think this is a bad sign? Did I test too early or do you think I could have miscarried?

Thank you for your help!

And lots of to you all!

Re: Hi - New and Question!

welcome to the boards!!

To answer your questions, there can be many reason why AF is late, I don't think you tested early, I don't think you had an early miscarriage and I don't think it's a bad sign that AF is late. You may just have ovulated at a later time and that's why AF is late. If you would have had an early m/c you probably would have gotten a very faint positive on a pregnancy test followed by bleeding like a regular period.

How do you know you ovulated at a certain time? do you temp, use OPKs, track your CM? If you don't know 100% when you Oed then it could be early to test...I would wait a few days and if AF hasnt showed, test again.

Good Luck on your TTC journey

welcome! I wouldn't count yourself out yet. You could have ovulated later than you thought... so your timing might just be a little off. best of luck

Welcome....also not to get your hopes up, but it could be implantation bleeding. Hang in there...its not over until AF shows up!
