Sort of complex question...?
Background: so, I've been off the pill for about a year now but no luck. At 27, I honestly didn't think TTC would be so problematic since the other women in my family seem to be baby factories. After first going off the pill, I was really regular for 6 months with 28 day cycles. Then I started fluctuating in about July to anywhere from 29-33 days between cycles (really got my hopes up the 33 day month).
Ok, so 1st day flo showed up was December 12. Had relations with the hubster on Dec. 26, 28 & 30. I had a touch of spotting on Jan. 4 and I NEVER spot. In the 16 years I've had my visitor I have never spotted once. This was only 2-3 droplets though. I attributed it to a UTI I got on New Years and I was on Cipro most of last week and UTI is now gone.
So now it's Jan 13 and still no AF. No cramps or PMS or anything. I usually get cramps 2-3 days before, but not this time.
Your opinions:
1) would it be worth it to take HPT at this point, or should I stick it out for a few more days? (can't really decide which is worse, the heartache or the anticipation so someone has to tell me what to do)
2) could the spotting have been implantation?
3) if I am pregnant, should I worry about the cipro I took?
LOL Cindy D - the 18th is a LONG way away!

Sometimes all you notice is a missed period when you are indeed pregnant. The spotting could have been implantation bleeding, but most of the time implantation goes unnoticed. UTI can cause spotting and antibiotics can affect your cycle too.
Since you aren't sure about your periods, AF could still be coming. If you know for certain you ovulated around the 26th, you should get an accurate test as soon as January 10th. If you ovulated later than that, that could be why you are still waiting on AF. I know that probably doesn't help your anticipation! I used the dollar store tests, so wasting a couple here and there wasn't a big deal. I've also conceived both of my babies on the first try charting my BBT and CM, with cervical position--kinda takes all the guess work out of it. Hang in there..

The spotting could have been implantation. Wait until the 18th if you can stand it that long. It's too late to worry about the Cipro, but prescriptions don't HAVE to be a problem for the baby.
Good luck!
