AF/CM Question...

Sorry if this is TMI... But I have no clue WTF is going on with my body! I am kicking myself for getting out of the habit of temping, bc I'm sure that would be answering my questions right about now! M and I resumed TTC this cycle... My cycles are ~30days long. I'm on CD27 (idk when I O'd - again, kicking myself!), but I have NO signs of AF coming around anytime soon. Last night when we got home, I went to the bathroom and when I wiped there was some really pinkish/bright red blood with like W or EWCM in it. I've never had anything like this before, so I thought I would ask you girls. I'm on the hunt for my TCOYF right now so I can look it up in there, but I was hoping some of you girls have maybe experienced this before? I put a tampon in last night thinking AF was here, but I haven't had anymore bleeding since last night. Again, sorry if this is TMI but I'm going crazy trying to find out WTF my body is doing!

Re: AF/CM Question...

  • It is possible that is implantation spotting BUT it could also be luteal phase spotting as well.  Even if you have never experienced spotting before it is completely normal.

  • I have it. And have had it at various stages of my cycles.  I usually get EW or W CF before all of my periods and often times are tinged with pink. It's pretty "normal" and what I have read and experienced is that things happen that we never noticed before but because we are more aware of our bodies while TTC that it jumps out as something to be alarmed about.  I would avoid using a tampon until you actually know for sure that you are starting so that you can monitor what the fluid is like and how much is there.

    That's what I've been reading too, sounds like it could be any of those. I've spotted before, but not like this with the CM in it so that's why I'm trying to figure out what's going on exactly. I'm waiting until Monday (that's CD30) to test again (M made me take one this morning before he left for the aiport, it was -) if AF still hasn't shown up.

    That's so true. I've paid more attention to my body over the past year than I ever have. I guess it can be good and bad! Good idea about not using the tampons. I hadn't thought about that last night. Thanks K : )

  • No problem.  I see it all the time and have done it myself.  Every little thing turns into a hope and a promise or something thats never happened before. lol  I watch as girls drive themselves crazy obsessing over things (myself included) when its just a normal day in the cycle. 

    I hope for your sake it is something good =)
