Yogurt I'm glad they gave you the scrip for progesterone. Hopefully that will make a difference!

For those of you who have had a CP...how soon after spotting started did you start bleeding?
Just trying to prepare myself.
Thanks:)

Thanks Tlex . Did you start spotting before they started to fade? My test was way darker this morning than yesterday but then I started spotting today...

sammysam this more recent time I had tests get darker, darker, darker and then nearly blank. Spotted the day of the blank test, heavy bleeding within a day. In January I had stopped testing so it was like, bfp at 15 dpo, then didn't test for like 3 days. Tested and it was light, next day heavy bleeding and test was negative. I'm so sorry if this is happening for you.

My test was way darker this morning than yesterday but then I started spotting today... I have had spotting with both successful and unsuccessful pregnancies, I've never not had spotting. What yogurt just described as her experience with CPs describes mine really well, too. If you need to POAS all the time right now so be it, my friend. And if you just don't want to, I totally get that too. You are pregnant until someone tells you otherwise. Feel however you feel and seek comfort wherever you can find it. ❤️

Does anyone here use a Fitbit with the women's health monitoring feature? It's my first cycle using it and I'm so fascinated and curious to see if my heart Rate really does increase before and after ovulation.

Thank you Yogurt and Tlex . I just wish I had a clear answer so I knew what was going on. I'm going to keep peeing on tests (I did this with my loss pregnancy too until like 6 weeks or something) and hopefully that will give me an answer. The spotting hasn't gotten heavier and is still pink. It started around 11 am so I assumed it would be heavier by now. But I still have mild cramping. I hate waiting. With my loss I had a pretty good idea something was wrong. But had to wait another 2 weeks to find out for sure. Then after we knew about the loss I had to wait 3 more weeks to fully miscarry. Waiting and I are not friends:( I just don't want to get attached if this is indeed another loss. I already told SO I'm pretty sure this isn't going to end well. I told him I'd keep the RE appointment on the 12th but that I'm pretty sure I'm done if this doesn't work out. He was ok with it.

I'm not sure about ovulation but I know people who knew they were pregnant because of increased heart rate in the TWW. AVA measures heart rate to detect O so I'm guessing it's a thing.

Tlex, so I read on the FF forums that the fitbit doesnt use heart rate to inform its predictiins about your fw. However, based on inputting my usual cycle length, luteal phase or whatever else, it does have my fw at the correct time.

It has mine predicted as last week but it says it can't do PCOS cycles so I'm not shocked. But I love collecting data points so I will still be tracking and hoping I can see a shift in it after the fact!

For those of you who have had a CP...how soon after spotting started did you start bleeding? Just trying to prepare myself. Thanks:) I hope your test is darker this morning and your spotting has stopped. For both of my cp’s I started spotting 2 days before heavy bleeding. I was able to turn a digital test both times. Also both times I went from feeling pregnant to not feeling pregnant overnight. The only difference between the 2 for me were the cramps. They were pretty severe the first time around and the second time they weren’t as bad.

I pretty much know what it's going to say. But I'm glad you guys are giving me an idea of what to expect.

For those of you who have had a CP...how soon after spotting started did you start bleeding? Just trying to prepare myself. Thanks:) I've had three CPs. In each case, I had very clear early pregnancy symptoms and a positive test. In each case, the following day I suddenly started bleeding heavily and no longer felt pregnant. I do not associate spotting with CPs. The only time I've had spotting that early was with L. I had later spotting with the later miscarriages, but *for me* my only experience of early spotting is in a healthy pregnancy. That's why I am still hopeful for you. But also, if I was in your position, I probably wouldn't be, because PGAL hell. I'm so sorry you're going through this uncertainty.

Progession for the last 3 days. It is significantly darker today. But I still don't feel comfortable or confident after yesterday. The spotting seems to have stopped but the cramps are still there. Also my cbfm digi turned this morning. If I don't start bleeding in the next few days then I might start to feel better about it. I ordered a million tests on Amazon and they should be here today. So I'll be peeing on things like crazy. I am going to lurk around here for a while still since I'm not convinced I'm actually out of here.

Did you start spotting before you started bleeding or did the bleeding start first? I'm still finding the smallest traces of blood if I look for them. And the cramping is still there. Breasts are a little tender but not like they were a few days ago. And my back is very achy. Just not feeling like this is going to end well.

The tests got lighter, darker, then have been somewhere in between. I still turned a digital right before the bleeding started. I have betas this morning. I hope it ends well for you! Keeping lots of things crossed!

sammysam Your test today looks great! I totally get being guarded. It’s really the only way to survive the pgal world. FWIW my spotting steadily increased both times. It wasn’t like I had to go looking for it. It was clear it was there. I’m hoping yours is just the little bean getting snuggled in nice and tight. I’ve got everything crossed for you over here.

sammysam, I was hoping you would stick around for a while and continue to update us as your pregnancy progresses! And I'm glad to see your lines looking darker. I'm continuing to keep my fingers crossed for you.

sharebear loorin sunny75 Thank you guys. It means so much to me that you are all being so supportive. I just have no where else IRL to go with this. Just my mom who said "are you sure you're even pregnant?" And SO who just has no clue and keeps trying to channel Jude Law from The Young Pope. Both not so helpful. I'm going to try to get ahold of my doctor today and see if she can send me for betas. Otherwise I'll update a bit until there is a more definitive diagnosis one way or the other.

FF tells me I ovulated on Tuesday which sucks because that would be CD 14 and the earliest I’ve ovulated since we started all of this. And it would mean that we only got -1 and +2 because H was on a business trip Tuesday-Thursday evening. I’m frustrated with my body and my inability to get timing right. I think I’m done with OPKs because I haven had a positive since March. But based on my temps I know I’m ovulating it just won’t show on the OPK apparently.

Sorry it's so frustrating:( But -1 is still good timing! If the OPKs aren't working for you don't use them. Especially if you're not getting positives. That would drive me insane!

And I’m so sick of it. So I think going forward we will be doing EOD starting at CD10. I’m just irrationally mad that H was out of town. Even though it’s not his fault. The good thing being we won’t have to try to sneak away this weekend to DTD. So I don’t have to worry about us sharing a room win DD and a small cottage with 9 other people.
