    8 days of spotting, no sign of AF - WWYD?

    So, if you check my sig, I've got my chart there.

    TMI Warning

    Now, I've been spotting for 8 (or it could even be 9 days) but there's been no sign of AF. There's been bright red, pink and brown.
    Now, when I 'investigate' in the shower, and I've removed my finger/s, there's nothing at all on them!

    We're on holidays atm and it's stopping us from DTD and enjoying ourselves in 'that' way. The last time we did DTD, after we were finished and I moved, I had alot of blood - the next morning, nothing!!! Since then, there's still been stuff all.

    Anyone know what I can do?

    Hmmm, how frustrating for you!! TBH, it sounds a lot like my last AF. I thought I was UTD as it was so random and different. I had a weird period in the end but I ended up doing two HPTs just to be sure and both were negative. I think it may have just been my cycle doing something new.

    I hope you're UTD hon and will cross my fingers for you but it does sound a lot like what I just experienced

    Thanks Taurean
    I honestly don't think I'm UTD - as much as I wish I was!
    I'm not testing while away. I'm hoping that if it is AF, then we can just get to it again. I've had one day where I had a little bit of red then lots of brown - then another day of red with lots of brown but all over the place.

    I'm actually not too sure when AF is due as I'm always irregular. The last two AFs before this cycle have been 28 days.
    I like all the stalking attention

    Thanks Teni I hope so too!

    I did a HPT on the 10th and that showed nothing, a but have been getting light lines on OPKs I brought (I have the photos but can't really access them on my phone to post here) on holiday with me.
    When I get home I'll be doing another test. I guess the only thing that's giving me hope that it's cause I'm UTD is the cramping I'm getting on one side (my right side, same side I got it with while pg with DS) and the mysterious blue veins on the boobs (again, which I got while pg with DS)

    You've gone away? Have you gone to a warmer climate? Sometimes that throws AF all over the place for me. Get a couple of days of spotting, then nothing, then a couple more. Settles down when I get back to normal life. Just another thought.

    You're so patient not to test DD!! I wish I had your willpower when TTC
    My thoughts are that this spotting could be either breakthrough bleeding, a very light or beginning AF, or implantation/uterus stretching/old blood. I also agree with PacRakMG, being away might be messing with the old cycle.
    Good luck and enjoy your holiday

    Thanks everyone.
    I started spotting before we went away, so I dunno if it's the change in weather.

    I had a bit of a flow this morning, so I'm putting myself as CD1 today, and if it changes then I'll change it back - but it's probably not likely that it'll change
