You're only 9dpo right? I would think that it's too early. I wonder if the spotting was IB and then old blood from IB. I've always been told the old blood is a good sign.

I'm 9 or 10 DPO and had a BFN this morning but I'm not sweating it, it's possible my dates are off and I didn't use FMU, sooo... waiting a few more days then trying again. Keeping it positive! Good luck to all you mamas waiting for those BFPs!

Hi girls. So I almost told myself last night that I wasn't allowed to get on this forum. LOL! I LOVE being a part of this group. IRL, everyone around me is getting pregnant...many with their rainbow babies. And then there's my sister who can't get pregnant and is heartbroken by it since they don't have the $ to adopt right now. Then there's me somewhere in the middle. Conflicting. I decided I WOULD still get on here b/c its nice to have people to talk to who understand my desire for another. It just certainly FEEDS the obsession. LOL! But, that's ok I guess, I need an outlet!

I have calmed down after AF went away, regarding the obsession part. Yes, I do want a baby, but I"m a bit calmer about waiting on God's timing right now. So that's nice to have those AF hormones away so that I'm thinking a bit clearer. I am, however, kind of hopeful for this month. I have short cycles and think I O early....usually 2 -3 days after AF leaves. We DTD on Sat before DH had to go back out of town. I think I'm Oing today. So, I'm hoping there's still some strong swimmers in there. BUT, I'm telling myself we did it at the "right" time last month, and nada....so timing doesn't always mean its gonna happen. Even my midwife said she thought I was Oing. And DH had a long weekend so there were a lot of chances made. So, not getting obsessive about it, but nice to know there may be a chance, as some months there isn't with an out of town DH.

Maybe we could be Due Date Buddies!! since we are both 9dpo!

Ladies, how long do "leftovers" hang around? I always get really confused as to whether it's CM or not, even though people have told me again and again how to tell the difference. Anyway, I haven't had much CM on the tp today, but when I checked my cervix I thought "holy cow THAT is what a high soft cervix feels like!" I think it might have been open too, but that is SO hard for me to tell. Anyway, I had a big glop of CM that looked like clear mixed with cloudy and it was stretchy, but not like 4-5in EWCM stretchy. Maybe an inch at most? What would you classify that as? DH and I BD last night, so I would think that the leftovers would be all gone by now? Does it sound like fertile cm to you guys?

Just hope all is well for you and a hh9m is in store! My mc was followed by a healthy pregnancy and my gorgeous daughter arriving so I can only wish the rainbow on to someone else since it's such a wonderful blessing!

Sniff test ....? Big glop makes it sound like fertile cm.
FWIW my ewcm hasnt been 4-5" stretchy in months.

I thought I read somewhere here that sperm separates and coagulates.. and I've noticed that too. Big gooey glob really does sound like cm.
