    Red face Am I grasping at straws?

    Hi gals,

    I'm going a wee bit crazy here, so any help would be greatly appreciated...

    I'm currently 12DPO (CD33) and had a bit of dark red / brown spotting this morning. Since then, I've had tiny little bit of creamy brown discharge (only when I wipe though)...

    I've had creamy CM since 4-5DPO, as well as cramps and tender nips (normally my boobs get really heavy and sore to touch, but this time it's just my nips that are super sensitive and sore). I am actaully surprised by my LACK of symptoms this cycle Ridiculous I know..

    I don't often check my cervix – occasionally around O time – but I checked it this morning and it was low (I could very easily feel it), firm and I couldn't feel the opening like I can around O time.

    I tested yesterday with FMU and it was neg...

    I don't know if I'm just reading too much into it as usual... I have spent the morning Googling which I know I shouldn't do, because it's just sending me even more batty...

    Can you use your cervix position as an early pregnancy sign? Am I grasping at straws? Can anyone help me and stop me going completely insane??

    Fingers are crossed for you.

    I had a positive pregnancy test at 10DPO and my cervix then was really high

    Thanks girls...

    I've had absolutely no spotting in the last hour or so... the cramps feel so much like AF cramps.

    I'm going to give it a couple of days before I test again... I still don't really trust myself, because my LP has varied so much since coming off the Pill.

    Ta, Nic xo

    Personally, I'd give it a few days too (i'm loathe to waste money on HPTs ). I've had this happen to me a couple of times recently and I got my hopes up too - then af arrived of course.
    But, wishing you good luck, hopefully it was implantation bleeding!

    Implantation Bleed???

    Hi gals,

    I've just had a 2 day period (or could it be implantation?), normally AF lasts 5days and get severe cramps.....nothing at all this time, no cramps. Sore BB and REALLY tired. Have had a temp dip also, which makes me think no to pg......but have my fingers crossed TTC for 15mths! Can anyone share their stories?
