Documenting Spotting/flow: For future reference.

I had some brown discharge that was lighter then AF for several days. Is it right that you only doc red flow as AF and not brown? I'm thinking I messed up my chart.

Normally you mark day 1 as the first day you need a pad, but your temps are still up. Have you tested?

When did you have the brown discharge? How long did it last? Despite CM and CP, I'm wondering if maybe you are only around 10dpo? And then maybe the discharge/spotting might have been some implantation, depending on when it was.

The spotting is marked in my chart around the time FF says I O'd (March 26th). I didn't need a pad, just a panty liner. I am wondering if FF got my O date wrong and that I'm only 10 dpo too.

Hmm, defintely confusing. I wouldn't count the spotting as AF, that's for sure. But it is an unusual cycle and pattern. I think you have ovulated, the question is, when. Going by BBT..CD 31 is still my best guess. Going by CP...I'd say CD23, like FF says. Going by CM...CD28? Maybe? That seems like an awful lot of EW days. Are you for sure they were all EW?

Anyway, I guess I'm just rambling. I don't know what to tell you. I think, at this point, you just need to go with the latest possible O date. So, assume it was CD34, just to be safe. So, expect AF to arrive around Friday, and then start testing.

Good luck!!

Thanks Wendy.

No I don't think it was all EWCM on all those days. But it would go from a creamy consistancy one sec (one bathroom trip) to the EW consistency another bathroom trip...with the brown spotting toys.

If I remember correctly I believe it was more creamy on CD 23. I doc'd it at EW becuase it was EW in the morning when I charted my temp...
