BFP After 9 Months With Irregular Cycles and Spotting
This website has given me hope over the last few months and I hope my story does the same for someone. I got off BC in May 2011, and it was very unpleasant to say the least. I gained 12 pounds in 2 months (I always watch what I eat and exercise 4x a week), my hair started falling out, my skin went from normal to extremely oily and acne prone. And lastly my cycles ranged from 43 - 63 days and I would usually spot for a few days before my period even started. My hair and skin calmed down after about 6 months but my cycles never returned to normal. This cycle I O'ed on day 31.
28 - BD
29 - BD +OPK
30 - BD +OPK
31 - BD O Day
32 - BD
2-4DPO I got a horrible cold out of nowhere.
5 DPO - Cold is miraculously gone! Very strange!
6 DPO - The spotting starts :( I even wiped and had BRIGHT red blood, I put a tampon in and later took it out and there was only a tiny spot of blood. I cried, I was sure I was out this month I thought this was my normal cycle where the spotting comes a week early. Nips are sore but completely normal also.
7-13 DPO - Brown spotting continues mostly when I wipe, nips still sore.
14 DPO- I decided to take a test since I had one left, I told myself that I was 95% sure I was not pregnant so the disappointment would not be as bad. I was in complete SHOCK when I looked down and saw PREGNANT! I am still in shock!
Some of the things I was doing was pre-seed, only on +OPK days, Chaste tree (Vitex), B complex, and I also saw an acupuncturist who specialized in women's fertility to try to make my cycles shorter and regulate my hormones. I really had no symptoms except for the 3 day cold that disappeared. Don't give up hope and try to remain positive even though I know it's every tough at times.
Good luck!

Congrats! However, I just
Congrats! However, I just want to suggest that you tell your doctor about the bright red blood and the days of brown spotting. The same thing happened to me in Oct and it turned out I had an ectopic pregnancy. I bled bright red for about a day or two, not heavily, and thought it was my period too. Then I spotted for about a week. Finally, Dr. ordered a preg test and it was positive. Because of the bleeding I did a follow-up two days later and my HCG wasn't doubling, ultrasound confirmed ectopic.
I'm sure you're fine, but you may just want to let your doctor know so you can make sure everything is a-okay!
Congrats again.
Spotting
Yes they had me come in the next day to give blood b/c of the spotting. My levels started at 121 and 6 days later went to over 1900, I have a ultra sound Monday. :)
spotting
First of all congrats on your recent pregnancy. How awesome! I was wondering did you ever know in the past what caused your spotting a week prior to AF. I usully spot 4 to 11 days prior to AF every cycle and you BFP gives me hope.
Spotting
Nope I have no clue what causes the spotting and it's so frustrating! Just know that you can still get pregnant with the spotting. And this month the spotting was that same exact spotting I get right before AF, so don't think you are out each month when the spotting starts! Good luck!
