Ok. I had a couple of very short 'spotting' incidents on Wed and Thur night. Then Fri I thought AF had me. I got (TMI coming up!) blood tinged cm off and on Fri night, Sat had it off and on again but barely anything on my liner, Sun had a slightly heavier 'flow' of it, and nearly nothing today. That being said, it didn't look or feel like AF. My AF is usually (TMI again) fairly heavy, dark red, and some clots. This was either really watery or very mucus-like and pink or bright red. It wasn't heavy ever and not really any clots to speak of. Usually, if I cough or sneeze there is a bit of a flood. I had nothing like much more than a tiny leak ever. I have been crampy for a while, and I don't usually cramp at AF... when I do, it's not how it usually feels. I've had 2 spots on my face and probably less than 20 in my whole life, always unrelated to AF. My bbs are sore and nipples painful, never had this before as PMS. I'm super tired all of the time.

Looking at the bleed, I feel like its crazy to not conceed that the got me! But, my brain and body are saying that it wasn't AF. Do I believe my eyes or my body?

Worse yet, I need to start Clomid if it was AF. What do I do?!?!

Any advice is appreciated!

not exactly sure, but wanted to say fx'd!
i know ff says that unless its red flow that requires a pad or tampon its not af, so what you're talking about sounds more like spotting? you would know your body best!! have you tested yet?

I hope it is implant bleeding for you

Would love to see responses, I am supposed to start Clomid as well when AF shows up.

Good Luck

Haven't tested yet. Clomid should be on cd3 for me... And I don't even know when that would have been if it was AF. I guess I technically needed a liner, but I didn't even come close to needing to change it (other than because I feel gross if I don't lol). It was red sometimes, but not dark red like I expect and it was definitely mucus... TMI again, but there would be like a long thin string of pinkish or reddish mucus in the water every now and then. I've never seen that before. The consistency, color, and amout were all way off, but I have a hard believing that blood isn't AF.

Also, hungry and peeing lots. If bb soreness is because of AF, when do they stop hurting?

Generally when I have breast soreness due to AF it doesn't stop being sore until about halfway through my period. I'm sure it's different for everyone though. Good luck!

They've been sore with painfully sore nipples since 5dpo and don't feel even a little better!

how have you not tested yet?? lol what are you waiting for?
sure doesn't sound like af to me! fx'd!!

i'm having the same nipple issues since ov too... i'm testing tomorrow morning. fx'd for us!

I've been out of town with my family who have no idea we are ttc. Plus we were meeting my cousin's newborn for the first time this weekend.

On the bright side, cuddling a baby didn't even make me a little sad and I wasn't terrified of breaking her like I would have been in the past. Motherly instinct kicking in? I even liked being with her even when she was crying and volunteered to do diaper duty! Lol

Also, been having pg related dreams, which are out of character for me.

Fx'd for you in the morning! I'm supposed to test in the morning too, but I haven't even bought a test yet. I can't fathom that it might even possibly be positive!

Sooooo much ~*BABY DUST*~ to you!

Well? What happened? I'm curious!!!

I chickened out on testing. This bleeding or spotting randomly since O is so confusing. I thought I was out again today... but I still haven't really seen "flow" of any sort. It's very uncharacteristic of AF for me, but it seems pretty bleak for pregnancy as well. I'm so frustrated!!! I have this feeling of terror that it's the beginning of endless bleeding for me again. It makes me just thinking about it. I can't go back to it... I just can't. I just want to know WTF is wrong with me. I feel like I'm completely broken. I don't know what I did to deserve this. There are very few things that people are just able to do... breathing, eating, reproducing! How is it that I can so utterly fail at something I should be able to do? I always thought people just decided it was time for babies and then had them. I want to go back to the time when I didn't know the acronyms, medications, CD this or that, DPO this or that, IF in general! I don't mean to rant, but I'm losing my ability to keep my chin up when it feels like I'm headed right back to where I was in May... I sort of hoped I would be having pg scans by now... not wondering if I'm going to bleed forever again.

test woman!!!!!!! what the hell are you waiting for?????
