Spotting in the 2WW

[Skyler]

I usually have a few days of spotting before my period starts. This month my breasts have not been swollen like they usually are at this point and I have been feeling really bloated on my tummy. I should be able to take a test in a few days and was feeling hopeful, but I had a little spotting today. Does that mean I am out of the game? Or do I wait until it's a full-on period before it's for sure.

I upped my dose of Vitex to 800 mg this month, so that could be responsible for the symptoms as well. I wasn't temping this month, but I'm guessing I'm around 12 DPO.

Thanks!!! I know I only have to wait a few more days to be sure, but I just wanted opinions if anyone else has experienced this.

the references say typical implant is by 10dpo, but if your not charting you don't really know when you O'd so you may still be in. When I start spoting on 12dpo, I keep the hope up, but start to prepare my heart for af.

Thanks for the reply, Kat. I guess I keep thinking of my friend who had a light spotting the first three months of her pregnancy around the time she would get her period (so she thought that she wasn't pregnant). So anytime I start spotting since we have been trying I don't give up hope until it's an actual period. But I'm not sure how common that is. I should probably just accept this month as a bust again. Ah, well. I'll test in a few days if I'm still unsure.
