I actually feel a bit silly writing this - I'm so sure AF is coming. I've even got the tampons ready to go! But with that in mind, I'm wondering if my AF signs "could" be something else.

We've been TTC #3 since Jan '11. My cycles are long, possibly anovulatory. Dr put me on Clomid 50mg and I'm now on CD34 of my first Clomid cycle. A blood test on C21 indicated an extremely low progesterone level, indicating I didn't O.

On about CD 25-26 I noticed a reasonable amount of CM. We DTD, cos even though I didn't think O was going to happen, I thought "why not". Of course hubby didn't take much persuading.

Last night I had relatively mild-medium AF-like cramping (which I only have occasionally). The night before I had mild back pain. All this would usually indicate I would have had AF overnight (as in last night). Whenever I've had cramping like that before it's accompanied the immediate arrival of AF. I've had just a tiny bit of spotting first thing this morning. And nothing since. Usually when I have spotting before AF it's there when I go to the loo and gets worse, turning into AF.

Now logic tells me AF is on the way - cos that's what I've come to expect with this latest experience with TTC. I'm certainly not talking myself into a BFP cos I know all too well that it probably isn't going to happen.

But ... I can't help but wonder. And I don't want to test - mainly because I don't want to "waste" a test. I've done that once or twice before only to have AF turn up within a day or two.

Has anyone got a BFP after experiencing cramps and spotting. I certainly had spotting with my last two pregnancies (definite implantation bleed with DS1 and period-like spotting with DS2). I recall mild cramps with DS1, and possibly DS2 but I didn't know I was pregnant until after 6 weeks so I didn't recognise them as anything but potential AF cramps.

Ugh. This TTC journey of mine is becomming tedious.

Someone tell me I'm barking up the wrong tree and to go eat some chocolate while I wait for AF to arrive! I'm hopeful we'll get our BFP at some point ... but with no obvious sign of me Oing on Clomid, it's unlikely to be this month.

I'll go eat my chocolate now will I wait for AF to come visit
