Hi there I'm a , name is Tara I'm married and been TTC #1 since Nov...

Let me first start by saying I am totally irregular so I can't give cd's or ovulations charts etc Its a fun game of guess!!!
K so on Thurs of last week I was out with the hub eating and I got that uh oh I got my period feeling you know what I mean ladies..
I ran to the bathroom thinking I'm in for a big mess, and instead it was just small amounts of brown spotting. It was there when I wiped a couple times (like stringy brown mucus I suppose? TMI sorry!) anywho that went on up until yesterday and only present when I wiped, it kinda went to a pinkish color but very faint. I've never had spotting like this before I had some cramping but mild and felt very slightly bloated but not enough to even take anything for any of it. The cramps have stopped along with the spotting.
I should also mention I've had a bit of a headache since that day just a dull ache one. I can't say I have any other symptoms standing out right now, every once in a while a small tiny wave of nausea but nothing big to speak of. Breasts aren't sore perhaps if I squeeze them a bit the seem like they might get sore if that makes sense lol .
I did have my period oddly enough In Dec and Jan almost perfectly on the same day which is very unusual cause sometimes I got 6-7 months without one. So its all very baffling to me but perhaps someone here has had a similar experience or if you want just give me your input.. Thanks ladies I look foward to talking more!!

could be, you can always test just to be sure

I am also looking for an answer to this, the exact same thing happened to me. AF was supposed to be here the 18th and still is not. 2 tests have come out negative, so I will retest in 2 days.

I took a test today, just one from the $ store and it came out -- I dunno perhaps I tested too early,, so I made my husband hide the other one lol cause I'll use it asap! I'm gonna test in a week, I'm just having that doubtful feeling though cause my bb's are not sore and there's not cramping or anything.. I don't feel any different I just bought Taking Charge of your Fertility, so perhaps I'll get some nice pointers from that book, I've heard its highly recommended

I am also in the same situation and my tests came out negative. I will try again in a few days if AF doesn't show up. Best of luck to everyone!!!

ohhh this waiting game is the pits huh! Good luck to you , here's some babydust and update on how the testing goes when you find out! I'm going to keep my mind off of testin and do laudry.. and WISH I could look as happy as this guyl aundry.gif when i do it

Yes, the waiing part definitely stinks!!
With my daughter (she is 2 now) she came as a surprise, so there was no realy *waiting*, just a positive test. I feel like rushing to the doctor for a blood test, but instead I take 2 tests a day (I know it won't change that fast, but I am addicted). I just want to find out one way or the other right now. You keep us posted as well!!!

Waiting is the hardest part. I too have a very weird irregular cycle it took me about a year but we did finally get pregnant. We're trying again. It's hard to say if what you had was just a weird period or pregnancy implantation spotting (plus I'm not a doctor! oh I wish though somedays). Test again in a few days. If your still concerned, call your doctor so they can confirm and put your mind at ease.

I hope it doesn't take a year to get pregnant but I know thats not unusual.. Thats just a whole bunch of 2wwing!! My MIL wants me to take Vitex which is suppose to regualte you and help with ovulation, and I took it for 3 days and then the next week is when I got that spotting.. I forgot about that so who know's it could have been the Vitex also. Bah it could be ANYTHING.... I will say I'm still headachy I woke up with one this morning. But no sign of AF.. I think I'm gonna go back on the vitex and just start chuggin away again and try for next month... *sigh* my husband loves it.. At least SOMEONE does

k I'm revamping what I said, today have a headache all day so far and I feel sooo nauseous and hot flashes.. last night and then all day today. I took a test still -- but my urine is cloudy so I think I have a uti, it doesn't burn or anything but its just cloudy.. can a uti effect the outcome of a test?

Well I took another pg test today and again -- .... I've been getting more crampy today and breaking out but nothing.. I'm reading different times at which a preg test would give an accurate result after implantation bleeding (if thats of course what it was ) some say as early as 6 days after others say 8-12 and yet other say 2 weeks after... Anyone know the correct time that preg test would give an accurate result?

the First Response Early Result pregnancy test gives 99% accurate results after the first day of a missed period (i'm pretty certain). If your really freaking out and getting negatives and still feel you might be pregnant, then I would call the doctor to take a blood test.

Tarastomgirl... have you learned if you were pregnant or not? I am waiting and wondering to. last week (march 1 - 5) I had very light spotting/bleeding... it would stop and come on and off... just brownish/pinkish and when I wiped. I took a test on sunday (neg.) so I took another one this morning on thurs march 13 (neg.)

I am just waiting to see what happens

Implantation bleeding looks like dark,old brown blood not bright red like a period. I had it with my first daughter. As for crazy ovulating or not at all might I suggest a Clear Plan easy fertility monitor? it is extremely accurate and we conceived the first month of using it. Also, if you don't ovulate could your dr put you on Clomid? I have to take Clomid to conceive and so far 50 mg has done the trick and we got pregnant the first month trying. The "spotting" you are having is a good sign...hope you are pregnant
