So this is my first post on this area of expatwoman normally I am hanging around the general forum and pets as my only baby to date is a fur one!
So we are TTC for 3 months now although I am not charting etc. wanted to see if it would happen with just regular bd every couple of days.
I have a 34/35 day cycle for as long as I can remember. This month on CD 17 I had spotting that lasted 3 days which I never had before. I am now on CD 27 normally I usually do have sore boobs now waiting for AF to arrive but nothing this month?! I have read about ovulation spotting but am hoping that maybe it was implantation spotting?! Is it too soon to test?! Is it possible to ovulate that early on a 35 day cycle?
I had a full check up last month and all tests were clear.

Also first time using this TTC lingo ... sorry if I got it wrong:-)

I used www.fertilityfriend.com and got the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. Which reminds me, I still need to chase up where o the EW network it is! One of the best things I found was knowing when AF really was due. As in, when ovulation definitely occurred and so ovulation plus luteal phase = true AF due date. I've mentioned on here before a month when I thought I was a week late, and of course I wasn't, I'd just ovulated late. Had I been charting I'd have known and not wasted all that hope :(.

See, if your luteal phase was 14 days that would make ovulation around day 20 or 21 in your cycle. So if you had spotting on day 17, I'd say it would be unlikely to be implantation bleeding unless your cycle was super-short this month and you're already a few weeks pregnant! Why not test and see? You can get tests for 10dhs at the pharmacy in Springs Town Centre :). Do have a go at charting if you don't get a positive this month. I know I bang on about it all the time on here but I found it unbelievably helpful and it made me feel so much more in control of my body and the whole TTC situation. And PS: With charting, you don't have to faff around 'trying' every couple of days. Pinpoint your fertile days and get a decent sleep the rest of the time! ;)

I have always just thought that my LP was 14 days because that is what I was reading since I have started to read a bit more I have read that it can be shorter/longer. I think if nothing happens this month I will start to chart.
