Help me out here.

What I thought was my period was brown spotting, lasted about 20 minutes, and nothing since except when I check my cervix. (Then I have brown discharge on my finger). No BFP but tons of nausea and fatigue. According to my calculations I O'd on the 7th but only started temping half way through my cycle. Check out my chart:

What in the H is going on? How frustrating. Should I consider this spotting my AF?

I'm not sure. I don't chart. When is AF due? I had cycle where I had brown spotting off and on for 3 or 4 days. Spotting I believe is not considered day 1 of cycle. I think it has to be full period before you count it. Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck.

Sounds like it could be IB. Good luck, hope this is it!!!

I'm 98% sure that it's not IB - my temps have dropped a LOT over the last 3 days and continue to go down. I guess I was supposed do get my period on the 19th. I'm sure it's just a little bit of spotting before the big AF, I just have never experienced this before. My body is so out of whack since the m/c.

Hmmmm. That's odd. You know ever since I joined JM the ladies would mention that they had spotting before af and I would be like, what? When I have af it's full on major cramps tampon and pad needed (TMI) But, since my d&c I've been one of those ppl that can have a day of spotting and then af shows up full force.

How are your cycles normally? And how long does af last? Heavy or Light? Do you have any cramps?

Hope this gets figured out soon one way or another and it honestly seems to late to be IB but who knows!?

My cycles are like yours - no spotting, a day of cramps, and then BOOM! 4 days of heavy, three days of light, and a few days of spotting. I think it's too late for IB too. I guess I just need to get re-familiarized with my body.
