Anyone get cramping and brown spotting before getting a bfp?
My temp has gone up pretty significantly the last 2 days but I'm spotting and feel low dull cramping so that's not making me hopeful 
The tww is brutal. Makes me crazy every cycle

I know I had cramping and spotting for at least one of my pregnancies, and at least cramping for the other two
-
With my second I had very noticeable cramping, primarily in one location. I remember telling DH that I was either pregnant or something was wrong in there. But it was around 7 dpo, so pretty spot on for implantation. I hope you get an answer soon!

Af appeared this morning
ttc is so hard. Now I'm worried my luteal phase is all over the place.

@MamaBear87: so sorry. Cycles can be hard to predict.
-
@ninja: I've gone back and counted luteal phase numbers and I sometimes run at 12 so 11 isn't totally crazy. This is the downside to charting, your follicular phase can easily be different but your luteal phase should generally be the same
-
We were October 2015 mamas together. :). The cycle before I got pregnant with my second it was really weird and I had a 25 day cycle and freaked out about my short luteal phase. My previous cycles before that were 30 days. So sometimes there’s no rhyme or reason to the things are bodies do and it makes taking control in ttc difficult.
I hope you get your bfp soon.

@Mrs. Goose: yep I remember
I'm trying to be chill and just go with the flow but it's so dang hard! -
@MamaBear87: Just sharing my experience... My lp is an avg of 10 days but I've had 9, 11, 12, and even a 7 day lp back in August. It was ruled I have an lp defect and have been on progesterone suppositories to lengthen it. My hormones were all tested and came back within the normal ranges except for my amh. The good news is you are hitting 12 (even know this cycle was 11.) I would suggest you keep on charting and bring it up to your doctor if it keeps fluctuating. Sorry you are worried, it's so hard! Hugs!

@MamaBear87: My luteal phase range too. In the last 9 months TTC, I have had a 13 at the shortest and 16 at the longest. I know they aren't supposed to vary a lot but mine definitely does.
-
@MamaBear87: was charting with opks. No temping though.
It’s SO hard to chill. I told myself I would for baby 2, but I didn’t. I was more neurotic and stressed. Haha

@Mrs Lavender: @crazydoglady: @Mrs. Goose: thanks so much for sharing! Makes me feel better that it's not just me.
I feel like it's almost worse with a second because every month you don't get pregnant changes the age gap when you sorta have a preconceived notion of what you want.
I'm hopeful my cycle evens out from here though! -
@MamaBear87: I TOTALLY understand. We started TTC right when DS was 21 months because we wanted a 2.5 age gap. It didn't occur to us that it would take more than a couple of months because we got pregnant with DS first try. 9 months later and we got pregnant, so we are looking at a 3 year 2 month age gap if this pregnancy works out. There are so many benefits of different age gaps that it all ends up working out. I hope you don't have to wait much longer!
-
@crazydoglady: we got pregnant with our local first month too. I almost feel guilty being upset when I'm not pregnant just because we already have a little and it hasn't been that long. I am thankful I didn't have to do this with my first!
You got pregnant naturally right? Did you do anything different this cycle?
-
@MamaBear87: just acupuncture at that better form of coq10 that Shantuck explained. I honestly believe it's an odds thing. I did a little research and the average 33 year old's (my age) eggs are healthy enough for fertilization. So, It's just like rolling the dice of when you are going to get that "good egg." Of course there can always be underlying issues and some people just seem to be super fertile (I used to think I was one of them,) but time doesn't always mean something is wrong.
-
@crazydoglady: I'm 30, almost 31 so I'm hopeful is just taking us a bit of time. I've decided to wait 2 more months before getting anything checked because I think it will just make me more stressed if everything is fine. I so wish the waiting for everyone was easier!
-
I had a lot of cramping before and after my BFP. I thought I was out for sure for that reason...but lo and behold!
Wishing you baby dust! -
Having cramps until 14 dpo but AF never arrived until now. 1 day late.
-
@MamaBear87: Hang in there I’m 30 almost 31. It took 13 months and a HSG with my first when I was 26. We’ve been pretty much trying since she was 1, and she will be 3 in May. I started taking coq10 and fish oil supplement because I have PCOS. I had an hsg in March and am currently 5w praying this baby sticks. I had cramping with this pregnancy, but not with my first. I’m rooting for you!

@dc yoga bee: @MamaBear87: Im turning 31 as well, PCOS here too- and I have a 10 mo old. It took us a 1.5yr. to have our baby. We are hoping for more so we will start soon. It will work out. I strongly believe that God has His perfect timing and it will all be okay! Stay positive and count all of your blessings!
