My temp dropped this morning, and I started spotting this evening. I guess this isn't my cycle either. To be honest, I feel like such a failure. I was so excited about this cy, but I suppose it's not meant to be.

I'm so sorry Danielle. The emotions that we go through during ttc can be like a really bumpy roller coaster ride sometimes and I'm sorry you are going through one of the rough patches! Just know that you can always come here with your words of frustration- nobody understands better than a board full of women ttc!

Hopefully a few days off while you wait for af to be over with will rejuvenate you and give you a fresh outlook for what lies ahead... Take care of yourself over the next few days sweetie!

Thank you.

Interesting part is... nothing today... Usually when I spot the very next day AF makes her grand entrance. I suppose we'll wait and see the next few days. Maybe 10 dpo it is implantation spotting? Who knows.

Danielle, 10 dpo could def be implantation spotting. I will be praying that is what it is!!!

it is implantation spotting, that's a definite possibility at 10dpo

I got the full red flow later on Sunday. I went to FF and found if I clicked advanced instead of research, I o'd on cy day 14 and had a 28 day cy. I am a textbook woman this month.

Anyway, I'm putting my thermometer away for a month, pausing FF, not stalking baby sites, and baby dancing when we feel necessary. Because I think I've caused too much stress in my life over this, we're going to take it easy and enjoy this month chart-free. It doesn't mean we aren't TTC. I still want a precious bundle of joy arriving late April/early May; I'm simply not going to obsess as much. Thanks for all the encouragement and prayers. I have felt each one.

to each of you ladies waiting to test. I pray that it's your month!

I'm sorry this wasn't your cycle. It is a disappointment we can all understand. It sounds like you have a great plan for this next cycle. I stressed myself out so much last cycle I never even ovulated. I hope your new way works for you.

Thanks, Jen. I wish you the best this cy. Try not to stress as much...I know it is so much easier said than done. I'm trying to do relaxing activities, positive thinking, plenty of prayer, and focusing on exercising and other healthy activities. You know, things I should have been doing from the beginning. Hindsight is 20/20.

PS- I absolutely loved the photos you posted of Emma. She is a darling little girl. I pray that she has a precious brother or sister arriving in April or May.
