If you're of the praying sort.....

..... or if you just believe in good thoughts, send some up for me. I'm trying really hard to not get my hopes up, and it will be a few days before I can test with any meaningful results, but today is cd 21 and I have some spotting going on. According to "Dr. Google", it's description jives with implantation bleeding. I think I O-ed around cd 13 or 14 so the timing is right. Any good thoughts or prayers would be appreciated. Thanks bunches, and I'll keep y'all posted :)

{Just as a reminder, I'm on progesterone from cd 14 - 23.... haven't googled this yet, to determine if that progesterone could be responsible for the spotting. Any stories from you about this? Thoughts?}

  1. Praying for good things! My experience has been that I did not bleed at all while on progesterone. In fact, it took me a few days to get AF after a negative test.

    1. Thanks Laura! After I took a deep breath, thought about things and consulted the interwebs, it occurred to me - progesterone stays elevated naturally from ovulation until the time a menstrual bleed starts. I'm on the progesterone pills to keep my progesterone high enough to ensure implantation if we were able to conceive - - - so theoretically, it should not be menstrual blood. I haven't missed any doses, and they've all been at about the same time each day. I have two more pills to take, so I wouldn't expect an actual period for several more days. And considering that my cycles have been long, whether I've been on Clomid or off, I can't imagine that my period would suddenly decide to be early.

      All signs seems to be pointing to implantation bleeding, and even though I'm hopeful, I'm trying not to get my hopes too high. The crash and burn when hopes are dashed is pretty painful.
