BFP with Spotting

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to write on here cos I know it helped me through some frustrating times. We had been TTC for about 1 year. We got our first BFP back in November 2012 but then sadly it was a blighted ovum and I had to have a D&C. I finally got my AF back in February so we jumped back on the wagon. I usually get brown spotting anywhere from 4-7 days prior to AF, however I did get this the first time we conceived too. This time was completely different. I can feel when I ovulate so its a bit hard to be spontaneous. We did relax a lot more this time and didn't stress so much about doing the deed every day. here's what my symtoms where

CD17 - Ov (had 1 OPK left so tested when I got the pain)
CD23 - Felt really faint in the evening and felt like an anxiety attack
CD24-31 - Feeling really anxious each day with very high heart rate, dreaming heaps, had very very very light pink when wiping (if I wasn't looking there's no way you would ever notice) around CD27

The only thing we did differently this month was chill out a bit (easier said than done I know) I think I was just a bit over the process. Also my acupuncturist gave me some herbs to stop the brown spotting before AF so not sure if it was just our time or if that helped too.

Light spotting at the time AF was due but the witch never came... Nips got very, extremely sore with sharp pains in the breasts. Light cramping in abdomen & lower back pains, probably implantation. Got married last Saturday (5 days after AF due), was working like a dog to get everything ready. Must be a strong baby because I was lifting a lot of heavy stuff & also exhausted from all the planning & preparations. bright red blood appeared on my wedding day & I thought to myself "the witch came late!" --of course it had to be that day. But it ceased the day after. The day after that (tuesday) I tested and got a BFP!!!! Feeling pretty normal now, really don't feel any different. The soreness in my breasts is gone now. Really excited for my first dr. Visit. I'm 35, 1st pregnancy & will be 36 when I deliver. Yay!

This is my 4th cycle TTC since AF returned in January after having my son a year ago. I was still nursing up till a week ago until I weaned so thought it would take a while longer. I will be 33 next month and DH is 36. We have a 13 month old son that was a provera and clomid baby after getting off BC and AF not returning. No medical issues just been dealing with low progesterone after having blood drawn last month and it was only 3.4 so I thought it would take a while. I am shocked to get my BFP this morning at 10 dpo. Here are my symptoms or lack there of. Looking back I did have them but didn't know better.
O day: cramping but that is normal, I had a pos opk the day before
1-8 dpo: constipation and that is not normal for me, very runny nose and sneezing (thought allergies) and stringy/lotiony/sticky CM which is not normal bc I have never even seem EWCM
8-10 dpo: red/brownish blood showed up that night and was determined it was AF, my lp has only been 9-10 days so didn't think twice it being IB (only had a few dots with son). Bleeding comes and goes still when I wipe but hoping for the best. Today I started have loose bowel. I started getting cramps and sore breasts (in armpit area) also. Tested this morning with FRER and BFP right away with faint line! I almost died!! Didn't expect it
Things I have been doing before O is Pre-Seed (Love It), robitussin, opks and ate pineapple after O. I prayed a lot to God for a baby and he delivered! I didn't raise my hips or anything, just didn't go to the bathroom afterwards. I have no CM ever so I needed Pre-Seed and will continue to use it as our new lube!! Good luck ladies and I pray this is a sticky bean!!!

I finally got my bfp back in March, I am almost 15 weeks :) This was our 16th cycle trying. We had all the testing done and nothing was wrong so my doctor put me on clomid 50mg days 3-7. I was originally pregnant with twins but we had a disappearing twin around 6 weeks, other baby is doing great though :)
Here are my symptoms:
-nothing, really absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. I was absolutely convinced that this was not my month, I even cried to my hubby about how it was never going to happen just a few days before my bfp
-I did have increased cm the entire month, not just in my tww but I'm pretty sure it was the clomid. In my tww it was this weird stretchy, creamy stuff I've never really had before and I do still get it but I distinctly remember my cm drying up around 9 dpo.
-my boobs were very sore from around 8 or 9 dpo which is also completely normal
-very tired and hungry during entire tww, again completely normal
-I had a very small amount of spotting for a few hours on the day af was due, I was sure she was here but it stopped completely so I tested the next morning at 15 dpo and got a very dark bfp!

So the moral of the story? You can be pregnant with no unusual symptoms :)

I just got my test results back from the doctor, so barring any unforeseen issues between now and Monday when I get another beta taken, I am officially preggers! I wanted to share my story with you because this site has helped me through so many ups and downs, and I want to pay it forward. After a year of being off birth control, "trying but not trying" then "trying" then having some issues with my cycles, I've realized anything can happen. Whether you're taking a break, actively checking every single possible symptom, or just letting it happen naturally, anything is possible.

This month was our first month using Pre-Seed, my third month temping. We bd'd 3 days leading up to O. DH and I had both been under a ton of stress at our jobs, so I really wasn't thinking this would be the month. My most noticeable symptom that was not normal for me was fatigue. I was so.tired.

1-3 DPO - sore bbs (this happens slightly before and after ovulation regularly)
4-9 DPO - creamy CM, sore bbs
9 DPO - negative HPT; didn't think it would be positive, was just curious
10 DPO - streak of blood on panties, creamy CM, sore bbs
11 DPO - brown spotting mixed with creamy CM, sore bbs, fatigue
12 DPO - brown spotting mixed with creamy CM continues, sore bbs, fatigue, think I'm out
13 DPO - brown spotting continues (less than previous and only in AM), creamy CM continues, cramps, fatigue, waiting for AF
14 DPO - brown spotting lightens up a LOT - only noticed it in the AM, cramping, creamy CM, fatigue. Get incredibly tipsy off of one, small drink, this is when I thought something was definitely up.
15 DPO - same as previous, hubs notices my fatigue, decide to test in AM
16 DPO - BFP FMU
20 DPO - BFP confirmed with blood test

Hang in there, ladies!

I have spent the last several days stalking this site. I am amazed that I am actually here posting.

Me: 29
Partner: 34

This was our first month trying. I have an almost 3 year old from a previous relationship. It took 3.5 years to conceive my 3 year old. I have an abnormal form of PCOS. Started with Letrazole days 3-7 of cycle.

-2 dpo trigger shot and BD
-1 dpo I was out of town no symptoms
0 dpo received positive OPT in the morning, BD that night
1 dpo emotional dry
2 dpo emotional dry
3 dpo very emotional dry
4 dpo I "knew" I was pregnant, started getting sore BB dry
5-6 dpo same as 4 dpo
7 dpo felt cramping, but not like af cramping, more like a pulling, that evening I had what I think was implant bleeding (4-5 drops of bright red blood almost like I had a cut)
8 dpo felt very sick in the afternoon (gagged 3 times, sorry tmi) pulling feeling continued
9 dpo no symptoms
10 dpo small amount of creamy cm, sore BB, felt sick again in the afternoon
11 dpo bfn in the morning, sore BB, felt a little sick, a little more creamy cm, bfp at 5pm!

My hubby and I have been ttc number 2 for 6 months. The first couple I thought it would just happen. I am 24 and he is 28 and our first was conceived without trying. Month after month if negatives I started getting depressed and thought maybe we would just have 1. I tried pineapple and preseed and nothing happened. I tracked ovulation but decided it was pointless and too stressful since we bd at least every other day anyway. So last month we went on a vacation in Mexico. And here we are pregnant ;)
Symptoms: nothing at first.
I had indigestion starting around 5 dpo.
One day I was too tired to make dinner which is not like me at all.
On what I thought was 9 dpo I started spotting.(I spot for a day before af) so I was pretty depressed and assumed I was out. On day 4 of light brown spotting I figured something was up and tested with a faint positive!
Another symptom was one night I just felt super sick out of no where and went to bed at 8. Now I'm having discharge galore and am starving constantly.

I have waited a full year for this and thank god I have finally gotten my bfp. I didn't have any pregnancy symptoms no breast tenderness, no nausea or vomiting, no nothing. At about 10 dpo I went to the washroom and wiped and had this pink tinted spotting so I wiped again and a little more came out about 2 hours later absolutely nothing. I was so afraid to test but I did and my BFP appeared I am so happy and blessed. I have a 6 year old who hates being the only child I can't wait to tell him mommy is having a baby.

I am really excited to get to write this! It's like a victory dance for me. My husband and I have been trying to concieve for two years now and I had gone through a year of fertility testing and found out I had one blocked tube, I actually had a surgery booked to have it fixed but a month before my surgery, BFP!!!
I can't say I had a lot of signs that I would have conisdered reliable, after two years, all the things I thought were symptoms had kind of gotten old. The only thing really different about this month, was around the time of ovulation or shortly after I had two days of very light spotting, which has never ever happened to me before. My cycles range from 28-32 days. Day 32 came and went with negative pregnancy tests so I just resigned myself to the idea that AF was on her way. I did notice an increased sensitivity to smell and my boobs were definately getting a bit sore, so after a few more days I took another test, also negative, so I phoned my OB/GYN to book a blood test. Blood test came back very low, so he ordered serial HCG every 48 hours to see if the pregnancy was viable. I took another pregnancy test 4 days after my missed period, and after the blood test had come back positive but low, and FINALLY I got a BFP! Saw the Dr. Today and he says my levels are doubling normally and everything looks great. Hoping that this gives some hope to the others out there who are past there missed period and still don't have a BFP, it does sometimes show up later. Things I did differently this month. I started drinking greens and eating a lot healthier, remembered to take my vitamines, started focusing more on excercise and I was a lot more relaxed. :)

This was my second cycle trying to conceive #2! Here is the breakdown of what I experienced this month. Other than several "symptoms", I just had a feeling! Still in total shock.

BD around ovulation window.

CD19: Had the lightest spotting, pink streaked w 2 red pin-drop sized spots & had cramping. Thought could be implantation, but also felt like ovulation, so I thought I may have ovulated late and thought maybe we were out this month.

5-8 DPO: Had the most symptoms: lotion/creamy cm, irritable, more cramping & pinching that didn't stop. The pinching is what made me begin to wonder. Cm turned more clear, had some nausea, but nothing major. Definitely noticing heightened sense of smell already.

Tested first thing early this morning: very, very faint bfp thought I was seeing things, & got darker after about 20 mins so thought it was evap line. Tested again after lunch. Light BFP in 2 mins!!!

It's a very early pregnancy, since I tested BFP 4 days before my missed period. Please pray for a sticky/healthy baby! We are so excited! & I am so thankful for this site to keep me sane. I've come here for both TTC journeys and you ladies are wonderful :)
