Our bodies have a funny way of doing what they want and also manifesting our stress. TTC is so hard. But you WILL get pregnant. You will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-day-of-spotting#post-2722617 Mon, 10 Apr 2017 20:19:02 +0000 travellingbee 2722617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. D: I'm sorry. :( Has your OBGYN done any tests? Pre-menstrual spotting was the symptom that brought me to the doctor several years ago and when they ran cd3 tests, they found I had diminished ovarian reserve. The doctor said the spotting was related. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-day-of-spotting#post-2722602 Mon, 10 Apr 2017 19:58:01 +0000 Mrs. D 2722602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: yes<br /> @pachamama: thank you, it's definitely stress<br /> I tested and it was negative. And then AF got heavier. It's definitely my period.</p> <p>Another month gone.</p> <p>Maybe next cycle.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-day-of-spotting#post-2722582 Mon, 10 Apr 2017 18:47:59 +0000 pachamama 2722582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. D: I was in almost exactly the same boat while TTC. My spotting before and after my period was terrible.right for days. I think it was caused by enormous buried stress and pressure about the TTC experience. My progesterone levels were super low. I had never spotted prior to trying to make a baby. After 13 cycles and being diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve I got pregnant naturally and had a perfectly healthy baby! Hang in there and don't be afraid to acknowledge your stress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-day-of-spotting#post-2722508 Mon, 10 Apr 2017 15:10:33 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2722508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. D: did you test? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-day-of-spotting#post-2721816 Sat, 08 Apr 2017 08:52:33 +0000 Mrs. D 2721816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: @mrskansas: AF is due today.</p> <p>And I'm still only lightly spotting. </p> <p>I have no tests in the house because when we started trying over a year ago I would test early and then be disappointed when AF arrived. Now that she's supposed to be here I'll pick one up and see what happens. </p> <p>I'll test in the morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-day-of-spotting#post-2721742 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 17:19:51 +0000 mrskansas 2721742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. D: I would test soon and then go from there </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-day-of-spotting#post-2721734 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 16:56:45 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2721734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How many DPO are you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-day-of-spotting#post-2721717 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 16:16:03 +0000 Mrs. D 2721717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: it was on my right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-day-of-spotting#post-2721715 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 16:11:42 +0000 mrskansas 2721715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry you're going through this :heart: </p> <p>Was the sharp pain on a specific side or centered more in the middle of your abdomen? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-day-of-spotting#post-2721709 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 16:06:18 +0000 Mrsbells 2721709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. D: Its hard :heart:<br /> I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5th-day-of-spotting#post-2721708 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 16:02:31 +0000 Mrs. D 2721708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been MIA for awhile now. I'm no longer as excited about looking for signs each month.</p> <p>Don't get me wrong, I still desperately want baby #2, but seeing people who just started trying get their BFP is taking a toll on me.</p> <p>We've been trying for a year and a half, and more months than not my husbands travel schedule matches up with when I'm supposedly fertile.</p> <p>Two weeks ago we got to "dance" a lot, and it was awesome, but I've gotten to the point where instead of checking to see if I'll be peeing on a stick when he gets home, I'm just calculating to see if I"ll be on my period or not. </p> <p>I'm a bit of a pessimist.</p> <p>Then on Saturday (about a week after I should have O'd) a felt a distinct sharp pinch in my lower abdomen, I'd never really felt that before.</p> <p>Then early Monday I started to spot, and it was different. Usually it's more red, but this was definitely pink.<br /> There was nothing more until Late Tuesday, when it turned to the red I usually have experienced a few days before my period, only this is a few days earlier than I usually spot.</p> <p>But it didn't stop, and my period hasn't come in full force yet. </p> <p>I"m on day 5 of light spotting. I can't even call it a light period yet, I don't think.</p> <p>So I don't know if this is just a weird cycle, if when I test this weekend it will be positive, or if the change in my spotting from pink to red was a missed early miscarriage.</p> <p>Thanks for letting me vent. I don't really have anyone I can talk to about this. </p>
