So remember how I wasn't sure where I was at in my cycle? I lost track of when AF was suppose to arrive, but I was pretty sure it was supposed to be next week. Next week or not, she's here today. =( At least that means we get to try again sooner, now and I only have 10 more cycles until I can ask for fertility help again!
************************************************** ************
My body is playing tricks on me!! I only had very light pink/brownish when I wiped (sorry for the tmi) and so I figured AF was here, so I wore a pad, but I didn't even need that, because the pinkish/brownish only lasted that evening and now it's gone...nothing yesterday or today at all? What do you girls think? I've never had this happen before.
Is it possible it could be ovulation bleeding (does that even exist?) or implantation bleeding?
I always try not to speculate if I've had any early pregnancy symptoms, because any slight hormonal change make me nauseous and I'm always tired and have headaches. My boobs were achy and I had a bit of cramping, which is why I thought for sure it really was AF.
Any thoughts?

Well at least you can try again! I hope this cycle is it for you!!! You have to wait at least 10 cycles before you can get fertility help?? Wow.. I'd be desperate after 5 or 6 cycles of BFNs.

It took 6-8 cycles to conceive our first two. This last pregnancy took 12 cycles and I was just about to start some more indepth treatment when I got pregnant. My doctor insists that 10 months is a healthy average time for conception to happen and "they" don't suggest getting fertility help (if you're young) until after you've been trying for 12 cycles. I'm back to square one again...even if I wait the full 12 cycles, that still just gets me put on the waiting list, unless by some miracle I can talk an OB into seeing me sooner. I'm not viewed as a priority case, because I'm 25 and have two children.

I am sorry AF showed but hope she stays away and this TTC journey is shorter for you. Does it take so long to see an RE as that is the way your health insurance works?

[momof6lopez]

Im sorry af is here, but your on your way to trying again and I pray that its short and sweet for you.

It sounds like it could have been implantation bleeding. I've never had it, but read some stuff about it. I really hope that's what it is. And if you are thinking that AF is supposed to come next week....that would make the timing just about right. I'm sending you tons of baby dust!!!!!

[SkyBaby]

Hmm that does sound hopeful! I've never had IB either, but what you described sounds like it. Ohh KUP!!!

[*MomofO&Nat*]

I've never had it either, but it sounds promising!

I've never had IB but it sounds like that may be what it is!!! KUP.

Thanks girls!! I guess we'll see. I actually had one more blood test to check my hcg levels and even though I had AF, (so I assume my levels must have hit zero), I never cancelled the lab appt...so maybe if it was IB then it will show up on the blood test for hcg levels today, maybe?

[Kary♥RN]

If Implatation was on the 10th... it *MAY* show up.... I have never had implantation bleeding. But if you look at my chart from AUg... I had blood work on 7dpo (I was in th ER for abdominal pain) That was negative (the lab at our hospital dosn't pick up anything less than 10) ... But as you can see I was pregnant that month and I got a + HPT on 9dpo 2 days later.. So depending. I hope you get your BFP! HUGS

It's possible it is IB. It's also possible AF is just being screwy. Sometimes AF starts like that for me. Hopefully you'll have a good answer soon.
