    To make a long story short, Darling Husband and I were TTC this month, and were geared up to BD every other day during FW week – but Darling Husband got “stage fright” and although we had sex 3 times, he only actually “finished” the first time, and couldn’t the other two times (he said he was having jitters re: the TTC, mental block if you will, and requested that I just initiate next month during FW instead of letting him know specifics). We BDd on CD11, had sex but no “finish” from Darling Husband on CD13 and CD14 and O’d on CD17. So I thought this month we are completely out, we’ll try next month.

    I’ve still been temping, and this morning (7dpo)  I had a sharp dip in my temp (96.86 from 97.25) and I had spotting.  I freaked out thinking it was AF already, but it wasn’t red and only when I wiped (Sorry if TMI) and not at all like AF.  Also, I’m 32, and besides when I had the Mirena put in and had weird spotting and stuff until I adjusted to it, I have NEVER spotted except during AF in my life.

    So now this all has me thinking.  I also had EXTREMELY sore boobs and nipples, for about 5 days but that was around O time so I chalked it up to that.  I dreamt I was pregnant at about 2dpo, and again, chalked it up to just us having a bad TTC month.  I’ve also been very emotional – crying at commercials, YouTube videos (not sappy ones, otherwise funny ones) and don’t get me started on watching Ellen give away stuff to people on her show who did something heroic/are in need – I bawled).  Didn’t think twice about any of this though, until today.

    Has anyone had a dip, spotting and some “symptoms” and wasn’t pregnant?  I just don’t see how we could be without Darling Husband finishing (I know it’s physically possible but it seems highly unlikely) and with the timing this month.  Just curious though, because when I google this stuff it seems most people with all of this together end up getting BFP.

    We’d be ecstatic if we are, but we’re not expecting anything and in light of everything I’m not saying anything to Darling Husband unless I was to get a BFP.

     

    Any insight would be appreciated! 

     

    I’ve attached my Kindara chart:

    I always had a dip at 6 or 7 dpo, pregnant or not. There’s a second surge of some hormone (estrogen maybe?) around that time that causes the dip. And I almost always had sore boobs and mood swings in the two week wait. It seems pretty unlikely that you’d be pregnant from the “finish” on cd 10 or the non-finishing tries – but crazy things sometimes happen. I wouldn’t get my hopes up though. Fingers crossed anyway!

    KatieBklyn:  Thanks. I’ve thought all along there’s 0% chance this cycle anyway so hopes aren’t up- I’m more curious. Not sure why I’d all of a sudden have this happen this cycle when it never has before but who knows, our bodies do crazy things!

    MsYankee:  Bodies are weird! Is this your first cycle charting/TTC? I think sometimes we notice things more when we start paying attention to them – like when I started charting it finally clicked for me that my “random” migraines always came the week after ovulation. I know spotting is hard to miss 😉 but maybe you always get sore boobs around O time and it’s just that you’re noticing it now? Or maybe it’s just regular old bodies do crazy things. 🙂

    The cycle I finally got pregnant (after two years of trying, no less), we only DTD once during my fertile window.  I thought we had zero chance as well.

    I never had spottting while TTC until the month I got my BFP, but I can’t tell you how many times I had “pregnancy symptoms” and thought I was, only to have AF show up right on time.  I NEVER noticed sore boobs before my period, for example, until we first started trying.  One cycle, (about a year before I actually got my BFP), I was even more emotional than others, and thought it was finally it…nope.

    Your succesful BD session and your O date are also pretty far apart.  Not unheard of for fertilization, but definitely on the rare side. 

    Good luck to you!

    Honestly, your timing makes the chances of a BFP so very slim, I would not get your hopes up. I’ve been trying for 9 months now and have had seriously almost every pregnancy symptom in the book. Not to bring you down hard, but really, adjusting your expectations before you see AF is easier.

    So AF showed up today- not sure why at only 8dpo…. Going to try to look into vitamins to lengthen my luteal phase (last cycle AF came at 12 dpo) but excited that next cycle apparently came earlier than later and we can get to trying again sooner!
