Hellobee Boards

@knittylady: I see it!

@peachykeen: are they as dark or darker than the control? Some always have a line

@Mrs. J: They have been, but I took another a few hours ago and it might finally be slightly lighter - I've never had positive OPKs this far past my temp rise so it threw me a little.

@knittylady: Yay, congrats!

@Petitduck: could it be implantation bleeding??

@Petitduck: This sounds like my cycle last month. I had several days of spotting before AF arrived, and while spotting before AF is not unusual for me, last month was weird, in that rather than being pink/red, it was dark brown/almost black. TMI, but it looked totally different that what I'd seen before. Of course my app had to inform me that brown spotting is typical of implantation bleeding, and then the small amount hope that created diminished slowly over several days of spotting and BFNs.

In the process of googling, I did learn that implantation bleeding can last several days (though that's less common then lasting a day or less) and it can take a few days after it starts to get a BFP. So I'd say there's still hope. If it's not that, I hope AF arrives soon.

I just did one with smu. 12 minutes on my turner, but I took a shower so I think I saw it showing up as I got in the shower. Go get a frer today?!

@petitduck: my ib last cycle lasted for about three days and was exactly how you're describing yours. My positive showed up about two days after it stopped.

@Petitduck: omg not even a squinter!!!! Holy implantation bleeding batman! Go get a free for fun but that's very clear!

@Petitduck: OMG!!!!

@KNS: congrats!!!
