Amazing to post my story on here!
I came off BCP in January and started trying in September. Due to my spotting before my periods I had 2 21 day progesterone tests which were both equivocal so was very pessimistic. Here's what happened, focused on cycle days as I was ill this month with a fever do couldn't be sure on DPO's:-
CD18 - brown spotting (4DPO??)
CD19 - brown spotting
CD20 - brown spotting temp right down - 36.3 only
CD21 - v light brown spotting temp 36.7
CD22 - nothing, tummy starting to feel niggly, fleshy spotting, sore nipples (9 DPO?)
CD23 - dryish, sore nipples and boobs slightly, pm starting to feel periody in abdomen. Temp 36.7
CD24 - tested as a precaution as I exercise extremely intensely on Thursdays as I'm with an athletics club BFP clear blue plus!!
Unbelievable! Boobs still tender (10/11DPO?) pm negative on boots cheapie, periody
CD25 - BFP clear blue digi!! Sore boobs, creamy cm (11/12 DPO)
CD26 - BFP boots cheapie, creamy cm, sore boobs about the same
So 21 day results might not be the end of the world .... I felt awful after I got mine. So happy now.
Good luck everyone!
