Spotting 8DPO

[KTL80]

So I’m currently on a train to spend the weekend with the in-laws. I’ve started spotting, light pink and brown. It’s day 28 but my cycles are normally 32-35 days. I ovulated in day 20-21. I’m waiting for day 1 to start treatment for our last FET. (1 fresh resulting in BFP, lost our daughter at 23 weeks, 2 FETs, both BFNs).

Is it possible this could be the start of my period only 8 days after ovulation? I’ve brought my meds with me in case this becomes a full blown period but starting this at my in-laws wouldn’t be great 😬.

This forum is the font of all knowledge so hoping for some insight!

So so sorry to hear about your little girl. Mine, from FET too, is 26 weeks now and kicking me and I can't imagine how heartbreaking such a loss would be.

When waiting to start my stims my period came on day 26 of what's usually a 30/31 day cycle and caught me out staying at my in-laws, without the medication with me. I think it's just Murphy's law!! Dr always said don't count it as the first day until you get full red flow and if that starts during the night ie after 10pm, then count the next day as day one of the cycle.

Best of luck this time round hon. Sending big hugs xxx

Thank you, and huge congratulations on your pregnancy! This road to motherhood is so difficult but hearing the positive stories like yours fill me with hope.

Spotting continued until late last night when full blown period arrived. Fortunately we had just got home so I’m counting today as day 1. Here we go again! My husband is preparing himself my my increased levels of road rage 😡 which is pretty much my only side effect!

Lots of luck with the rest of your pregnancy,

Hi KTL> You really need to be waiting for "red" to start your meds. Probably your hormones playing up a bit, but your meds will sort them out once you get going. Hope it turns out OK. Diane

Thank you Diane. Hormones definitely playing up. Full blown day 1 today. Feeling nervous mixed with the usual cautious excitement. Feel like we’ve jumped back on a fast moving merry-go-round! Thank you for your continued support. This forum really is a lifeline.
