Probably not this month (ttc mentioned)

Hey Ladies, I think I let you all know hubby and I ended up TTC this month even though we said we were going to wait. We got fertility symptoms about a week ago and said to heck with charting/swaying or anything else let's give it a go.

Well, I woke up yesterday all bloated (typical with my short cycles) and started spotting today. Took a test even though it's early, but since I spotted I figure that AF coming. Of course it was negative. I'll take it again in about 6 days but I'm pretty sure this is the start of AF. My cycles are weird, but normally only around 21-23 days. The last 3 months I was closer to 24-26 but this is very typical signs of AF for me...especially if I keep spotting the next few days. I always spot for like 4-5 days, then she comes full force. (Sorry, TMI)

SO, looks like I won't get a Boo-baby. I'll let you know if anything changes, of course. I think I should go back to learning to chart and re-focus so that we can hopefully have better luck next time.

I am sorry AF is about to show

I also have short cycles, before my loss 21 days... now 23-24 days. Have you been using opk's at all? Do you know about when in your cycle you o? TTC can be very stressful, I hope that next month gives you better news!

Hold on... You are CD17. with your short cycles this could be implantation spotting!! Are you spotting a lot or just a few times?

I had a slight bit of browing spotting this morning...and once afternoon...and then once around diner I had more of a darkish brown almost threatening to turn red. . I haven't noticed any tonight, but I'm not very hopful. I start all my periods this way...on and off for about 5 days or so before AF shows in full force. And I am usually anywhere from 21-24 days, so really the timing seems right for AF. I'm sorry, I know that was TMI.

I don't know. I guess I'm just anxious...and I was already bumming when teh moody/food cravings/bloating sstarted...so the spotting today kinda put me in a slump.

And this is going to sound completely dumb, but I don't have any funny taste in my mouth. With all of my pregnancies, including the loss, I had a HORRID metallic taste in my mouth starting between 7-10 days after bd'ing. No taste.

Thanks for being hopeful and supportive ladies. I need it today. I'm just really down.
