Update BFN: Give me some guidance re:IB

[murphybrown]

Update to say CD1 today. Weird that I'm spotting for five days leading up to my period, so I scheduled an appointment with an OB to get checked out.

So this is my first cycle ttc #2. It took 9 months to conceive my son (however we took a very lazy approach, no opks, no charting, etc) and I took a pregnancy test after being a week late. I used to have really weird cycles and I remember spotting but never getting my period. Eventually I tested and got a bfp.

Flash forward to now and I have changed my approach to be a bit more proactive. I got my positive opk on February 27 and I assume I ovulated the next day based on CM changes. At 8 dpo midday I started having pink discharge. That has continued until today at 11 dpo; though, it is very light and almost nonexistent now. I tested this morning on both wondfo and frer and got BFNs on both. If you had implantation bleeding and later got a bfp, how many days in between those two events? TIA

5-6 days for a very faint positive. I know when I implanted based on BBT and it was a squinter at 5 days and a faint positive at 6. You’ve got a couple of days to go yet.

ETA: good luck!

Thanks aprilsails,that's encouraging. Trying not to get my hopes too high. We'll see

I’m sorry about the BFN. Good luck next cycle.

I'm sorry about your BFN.

I spot a lot leading up to my periods. It's been happening for so long, I didn't think much of it. I'd be interested to hear what your OB thinks.

landmermaid, I have it quite often, but 5 days is the longest I have ever experienced it. Normally it's just a day or two before my period (which I think is normal). Dr. Google tells me 5 days is not normal and could be a sign of low progesterone. So I guess we will see. With my first I had a lot of anovulatory/irregular cycles (due to weight issues/crohns disease/longterm steriod use) and used vitex to conceive. This time I'm much more regulated, but might fall back on the vitex if things continue being weird.
