TTC after 35

Should I count this as CD1??

I have had absolutely no sign of AF (but a few BFNs). Then last night while we did the deed, I started bleeding. Like, bright red. I thought, Great! Let's move on to the next cycle. I was so certain that I would wake up bleeding this morning, that I didn't temp when the alarm went off, and I did not test - it didn't even occur to me to test. Well, I woke up and there was absolutely nothing. No flow. No bleeding. No cramping. Not even any spotting. There was a little bit of normal CM, but that's it. 

I've been 12-day LP for a year now, but the last two cycles (this one included) have been a bit longer (which is good). 

My question is: Do I count last night as CD 1? I mean, it was red blood. Not a little spotting. Any thoughts? Do I hold tight?

Maybe I should e-mail/call the RE's nurse?

Re: Should I count this as CD1??

  • If it's not a consistent flow I wouldn't count it as CD1. How many dpo are you?

  • 15 DPO today. Though, I'm wondering if maybe I O'd later than FF thinks. Definitely not consistent flow. Perhaps I just hold tight and see what happens later today...

  • That's what my OB said when we were pregnant in May... It's hard to be hopeful for a positive at this point, but I am a little hopeful. :)
