According to a web site I use to track my periods, my cycles average 30 days. However, I haven't had had a cycle under 32 days since April. Here is my breakdown:
May - 36 days
June - 34 days
July - 32 days
August - 37 days
Septemeber - 32 days
Usually the day before I start my period I get blood tinged CM. I am currently on day 30 and just got the blood tinged CM. I am very doubtful it is implanation bleeding since this happens almost every month and is so close to my period. I am so confused as to why it is coming earlier than usual. I know there are events that can make a period late, did I do something to make it early? It makes tracking a little harder.

You may have ovulated earlier in the cycle than you typically do. Do you do BBTs or OPK's? That might help you out as far as when you ovulated and you can then use your luteal phase to help you determine how long your cycle will most likely be.

Thank you. I tried to BBT, but I had issues with memory. I planned on using an OPK if I didn't get pregnant this cycle.

I know what you mean with remembering the temps! I would fall back asleep, then forget what it was when I woke up to get up! I found a digital that has a recall on it which is a huge help.
I live by and swear by the BBTs. I was very skeptical at first, but now it's part of my routine everyday. I think it's kind of fun, too :-) Just be wary with the OPKs. They do not necessarily work for everyone. I have a short LH surge, so I've gotten 1 positive OPK out of months of using them - even testing multiple times a day at all different times.

Im with you Nalphee I only got 1 positive OPK and I was so excited when I saw it. I BBT and I also have recall but I set my alarm for the same time every morning otherwise I know I would forget.
Blue if this spotting is earlier than normal dont rule out that it may be implantation, I really hope that it is but I do know exactly how you feel as I also spot before AF arrives and as much as I always hoped it was implantation deep down I knew it wasnt. I really hope this is not the case for you and you get your BFP.

Thanks for all the replies. Nothing new here. I am still spotting. I will test if AF doesn't rear her ugly head by tomorrow.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
I know exactly how you feel - I also spot before AF comes full on. And my cycles range from 26-32 days, so I can pinpoint the week, but never the exact days. It's frustrating, especially when TTC, and even a few spots can trigger all sorts of thoughts like implantation or spotting even though I'm pregnant or anything other than the gruesome reality.

Well, ladies, I guess it could have been implantation bleeding. I just took an equate test and it was positive. The pregnancy line was just as dark as the control line in the same window. They were both lighter than the main control, but very distinctive. I am shaking I am so excited. At first I was getting frustrated, but when I saw the extra line I realized I was looking at the wrong window. I will probably take a test in a day or two just to make sure.
I am a little worried. The only real pregnant sign I had was swollen/tender boobs, but that has almost gone away over the past few days.
Thanks for all the support. I really hope this is for real. :) I am scared to death of miscarriage since I am lacking symptoms. As all of you have done for me, I also wish you all the luck in the world. I will definitely keep lurcking and keep you updated.

Well done! I'm so pleased for you!

PS many women can go the whole pregnancy w/o pregnancy symptoms, so try (I know it is hard) and take a deep breath and let it ride.

Thanks everyone. My boobs have gotten bigger and are much more sore. Taking my bra off is like peeling clothes off when your sunburned. I guess it took a few days for the hormones to kick in.
Good luck to all of you.
