Sorry to have offended people with my psych ward comment. Life is a little complicated at the moment- snark is ok for others but not for me? And as indicated in my re-intro to this board, my husband and I miscarried shortly after I found out he cheated and his ex wife is pregnant. AF returned sooner than after my 2 previous losses, so I bought the Opks to see how "normal" my body was. If it was the real deal, continued bleeding post loss, etc. The sex, not planned. He came over, we fought, he's still my HUSBAND. The second time, we used a condom. Condom broke. SHIT happens. No, it's not ideal, yes, I DO feel stupid as hell to even be sitting here in a TWW waiting to find out if my soon to be ex husband are going to be expecting parents. I take responsibility for it, but it was NOT planned. Our timing was never this perfect when we WERE TTC. Shit fucking happens.
As for the dates, I had a friend look at opks. She's a FF and TCOYF geek. She guess based on the opks that O was most likely 10/31. That puts today 9DPO, yesterday 8DPO and at this point, I don't even care what the spotting was/is/means/doesn't mean.
And a side note: I work in EMS, I take patients into psych wards. I feel for them, I'm not a cold person. But those in my field, we have a different sense of humor than the "norm." Sorry, that's just how it is .
Yeah, no. I work in the medical field as well, and yes, I have a very different sense of humor than my non-medical friends, as in I can joke about bodily fluids over lunch without grossing out. Down's Syndrome is a disease, just as mental illness is. Would it be okay for me to mock having Down's Syndrome? No? Then guess what? It's no different with mental illness.
I tried to be nice in explaining why it was insensitive, and clearly that was a waste of time because you {fill in the blank, if I do it I'll violate TOU}.
ETA: If you have to preface your post with "don't hate me," perhaps you should rethink posting it.
Maybe you took those OPKs as a fluke. But letting your Shitty Husband That Just Impregnated His Ex Wife put his penis into your vagina, TWICE, is not a fluke. That's a decision, especially when you KNEW you were fertile. Maybe you didn't do it consciously, but something was going on in that head of yours.
Trimmed and QFMFT (I liked all of it, but this especially).
OP, from what you've said I don't think this was specifically a 'get him to stay' planned honey trap. But I do think it was probably, consciously or subconsciously, something that was there. Also, it had to sting like a motherfucker for you to go through losses and then him to go get someone else KU. I cannot imagine. So, I can also see it as you trying to prove that you can do it too. I can see that competition brewing beneath the surface. Again, don't think it was a conscious decision, but I just find it hard to believe that it didn't figure in at all.
I can see a person taking the OPKs for curiosity's sake (stretch, but I can see it). I can see someone falling back into bed with a soon to be ex when there are a lot of issues at play (and have seen it). But the confluence of those events leaves me with more than a little side-eye that this could be coincidental.

I also think that when people are hurt and vulnerable, they can make very stupid decisions. I'm sure most of us have been there! In college, I found a girl in me boyfriend's closet (I thought that only happens on t.v). Yet, I ended up staying with him for a short time. I get it. I feel stupid when I think about it but it's a decision I made and I learned from it. If you choose to air your shit out there for everyone to see, you need to know that people will have their own opinions. It was a choice you made, you have to live with whatever happens and hopefully learn from it.
This includes the comment you made.
I do hope things work out for you. You are in a very shitty situation that I couldn't imagine being in your shoes. In the meantime, I would take the advice from @thewickedfairy and step away from the computer for now until you can get your emotions together. I'm sure this isn't making things better for you.
Who wants to take bets on the BFP? I can just see the way this is going to go down.

Oh yeah, I am almost sure of it. And another equally drama filled post about it on 1st tri, looking for support for how she "accidentally" got KU by her soon-to-be EX.
OP, I'm sorry for your losses and that you find yourself dealing with such a difficult situation.
*shrug* I was looking through your post history and I have to say your timeline just doesn't add up. You said you had an MRI scheduled for august 21st right after a possible septum diagnosis last May? I mean, your latest loss would have been conceived right around that time. As a women with ute problems I know for a fact that I was 100% benched during my testing and so I'm raising an eyebrow wondering why you would even try to conceive during that testing? Further, you say you've been working with an RE and your septum was visualized back in May but then it was remeasured and was apparently not a risk right? As a woman with a resected septum I raise an eyebrow because septums, regardless of their size are almost always removed. Septums cause losses - it's beyond me why you'd continue to TTC given even the possibility of that diagnosis. Oh and plusalso septums are rarely "measured" they are only visualized. (FYI a SIS isn't the gold standard for a diagnosis) Also, you may not remember your intro on TTCAL (my home board) but I actually was the poster recommending you get more testing. At the time when you introed a few months back you mentioned septum, acruate uterus and uterine scarring. I know no fucking RE or doctor that would give you the green light to continue TTC with the potential of any of those issues.
As for the rest, not sure what kind of support you're looking for here? You've been a member of this community for months so I'm pretty sure you knew how this thread would end up. Starting a thread about implantation bleeding IMO is the equivalent of asking "am I KTFU". Like symptom spotting it's nearly always speculation so I feel like you sort of made your bed here.
Like the rest, I'd bet cold hard cash that this turns into a BFP. I'm not 100% sure I buy the whole story just yet but I imagine the conclusion to this story is going to be a holy shit I'm KU guys type of post on the 1rst tri board. I'm keeping an eye out
Finally, as for the comments about mental illness - that was shameful. As a women who has suffered from depression on and off for years joking about wanting to take "xanax" or "needing a bed" is just gross. Would you joke about having infertility? I doubt it - so stop fucking joking and picking fun at people who suffer from depression and the like - mental illness is a real fucking illness and people like you (who works in the field apparently) making a mockery of it are half the reason why the subject is taboo.
I usually just lurk but I shall chime in. Its exactly as other ladies have stated. It's only implantation bleeding if you get a BFP afterwards. I have had implantation bleeding, however I didn't know that's what it was at the time. I knew after I got a BFP. I had gone out and bought pads and tampons because I thought I was getting my period. You can obess over signs and symptoms but everyone is different and the signs and symptoms of pregnancy are the same for PMS and other things. Tests don't lie. Also if you read the newbie thread you wouldn't have had to ask this.
If you really were as familiar with these boards as you think you are, you would know that not a single post about implantation bleeding ever ends well. Ever. You had your answer in the TWW thread.
...which brings you to posting it on the main board, in which you made sure to post your life drama. Again. This is the internet, hon. I have no idea why in the world you would post such initimate details on your intro & subsequent posts. A "hi, my husband & I are no longer continuing in our marriage for personal reasons, but it looks like there's a possibility we're having a kid together. Can I join in?" would have sufficed. But you didn't. You put it all out there....and guess what happened? People are responding to it. Folks here are are struggling to get pregnant, and here you are posting about how you slipped on your shitty husband's dick, TWICE, and OMG I MIGHT BE PREGNANT WHAT DO I DO? It feels kinda shitty.
Frankly, I have no idea what you must be going through or what your life is going to be like should you actually be pregnant. I'm sure its scary & overwheming, but its a situation YOU CREATED. Maybe you took those OPKs as a fluke. But letting your Shitty Husband That Just Impregnated His Ex Wife put his penis into your vagina, TWICE, is not a fluke. That's a decision, especially when you KNEW you were fertile. Maybe you didn't do it consciously, but something was going on in that head of yours.
See a therapist about your relationship issues (seriously, the fact that your husband had an affair with his ex-wife & knocked her up while you guys were TTC/had a miscarriage indicates you have some serious thinking about the kinda of men you attract) & stop sleeping with your shitty fucking husband.
Oh, and sometimes spotting fucking happens. It's not a symptom of anything.
I just have to say I am surprised it took all week for someone to say this looks planned. In the re-intro she stated she was using OPKs "out of curiosity" and had sex after positive ones.
I was trying to ignore it and hope it went away.
--------
This. Plus I was the resident asshole a couple of weeks ago.
I'm way late but just wanted to say this was also my reason, down to the exact thread you are speaking of @frankenboom and so upon reading this I had a little giggle.
