Good luck Mouse FX. As far as I understand, the brown blood is nothing to worry about. Try not to worry. I know it's easier said than done, just lots of DVDs and choc should do the trick!

Fedupttcnosuccess · 10/12/2010 14:38

Xposts! Hi Getdown, how are you Hun? I take paracetamol half an hour before waxing mine! My pain threshold is lamentable- maybe that's why we've not been blessed with children yet!

mousebacon · 10/12/2010 14:38

Hi ladies. Not much to report. Still a small amount of brown. Some pain but that could be anything.

Spoke to EPU this morning and have a scan on monday at 2.45.

Will only just be 6 weeks but at least they'll be able see either way. Fingers crossed for no more leakage this weekend.

Have a great weekend everyone xx

Fedupttcnosuccess · 10/12/2010 14:35

Hi Izzy and welcome! Sorry to hear of your mc, this is certainly a lucky thread and hopefully you'll get your BFP very soon. I tend to lurk, when I get a minute, otherwise can't partake as much as I'd like due to heavy work schedule and busier home life. We're ttc our first over 2+ years seriously now: nada. IVF at ARGC in the new year beckons. So, the pressure is off, in some respects. See you later. Good luck :-)

GetDownYouWillFall · 10/12/2010 14:32

These threads move quite fast Fedup I'm sure noone deliberately blanked you! Smile I do know how you feel though, I'm beginning to feel in the non-pregnant minority round here Grin

Hi there IzzyWizzy welcome. I remember you from the MC thread too, but perhaps you don't remember me.

I've just waxed my legs in a bid to feel a bit more sexy Blush Ouch! The pain!! Angry

IzzyWizzyletsgetChristmassy · 10/12/2010 14:09

Btw mouse we've met briefly on ttc after mc, I read your last few posts and just wanted to say I had "brown" bleeding/cm towards the start of all 3 of my pgs and it never indicated a problem. However please push for an early scan just to put your mind at rest x

IzzyWizzyletsgetChristmassy · 10/12/2010 14:07

Hello all I've been lurking around this thread for a while as I got started on charting but haven't yet joined...the recent spate of bfps tells me this is a good place to be though so I thought I'd actually come and say hello.

I'm 34 and currently ttc#3 after a mmc at 16 weeks in July. DS is 7 and DD is 4 so I would quite like another one sooner rather than later!

Here's my chart. It seems to be in freefall at the minute but I'm hoping that's ok for this part of the cycle? I've been having problems with my luteal phase, it was 7-8 days but regular acupuncture seems to have pushed it up to 12 days last cycle (yay!) so I'm hoping things will start to look more promising soon.

Fedupttcnosuccess · 10/12/2010 13:40

Nice one Hippy! Hope your congratulations gets acknowledged- mine was blatantly blancked! Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I did not participate as much as I'd have liked to on this thread, due to family and work commitments. Blush

hippychick66 · 10/12/2010 13:14

OMG Shock Shock Shock - I just popped on to this thread to see how some of me old muckers were doing and there are loads of preggers ladies.

I know it's very early days for most of you and some of you are having spotting etc. So i'll just say a very quiet congrats to you all and make sure I keep an eye on this thread.

Charting is defo the way to get preggers. I might even give it a go again next month.

Bear love to all and fingers crossed for sticky beans.

LadyGoneGaga · 10/12/2010 11:30

Hope Mouse is doing 0k?

I'm fine thanks MrsA. Still no bleeding, still got my symptoms. Going to be anxious til the scan I think. And then anxious again until the 12 week scan. Prob until I start feeling movements and then you feel reassured. See what your temp does tomorrow. Irregular cycles suck (as a veteran of the blighters!).

You sound more positive today, Spilt Grin

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 10/12/2010 11:13

I'm not sure whether I've ov or not getdown. I had a drink last night (one vodka mixed with a bottle of crabbies alcoholic ginger beer and i feel hungover, what a lightweight!), so not sure if today's temp is accurate.

I've had weekly acupuncture all this cycle, so perhaps it's helped my cycle but I doubt it would affect it this much. Having said that, I had EWCM yesterday and ov pain and today, all i had was a bit of pre seed coming out and no EWCM and no ov pain.
Hmm not sure - I have had 2 -ve opk but the first one i did (Wed) had a faint line but nothing on the next day, so perhaps I've ov super early (for me) and I missed the opk.

Either way, I'm (trying) not to stress and DP and i are swi every other night till the end of next week, to be sure. We decided every night was too much for us, with my ov dates being do varied and late. It was getting to be a real chore.

GetDownYouWillFall · 10/12/2010 10:43

Do you think you've ov'd now MrsA?

Here's my pretty darn boring chart

Just waiting waiting waiting

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 10/12/2010 10:42

Morning mrsA and YEY for spilt!

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 10/12/2010 09:31

Ladybeen welcome and hopefully we'll all get bfps soon!

Mouse how's it going? Keeping everytihng crossed for you.

Btw, Digi is on my post natal thread for DD and she's OK but steering clear of the TTC threads at the moment, until she can TTC again.

Terrys - temps still high I see Grin

spilt how you feeling?

LadyGG all ok?

I am cd 18. chart here

spilttheteaagain · 10/12/2010 07:07

Hurrah, today's line is not a figment of my imagination. It is there. A pale pink one.

terrys I haven't given up the temping either!

Right, better get to work. Catch up later Smile

TerrysNo2 · 09/12/2010 22:15

But you didn't listen for a while did you LadyG Wink

LadyGoneGaga · 09/12/2010 22:10

Mouse it does sound very like the bleeding I had with MiniG. Hopefully it stays spotting/stops. Def try and get to EPU though hon, so you know what you're dealing with. Hugs.

Hi LadyBee, welcome to the thread! I'd say your Luteal phase looks a reasonable length. Wouldn't worry too much about the dips. Seems like implantation/luteal phase defect not the issue for you? Good to have you here anyway.

Terrys everyone (including you?) told me off for carrying on temping after my BFP if I remember correctly. Took me a few days to get out of the habit though! You are fine to fly for a long time yet. Especially as is a relatively short flight. My work tried to make me fly to Russia at 28 weeks pregnant last time. Luckily by the time my visa came through I was too pregnant to fly - yay!

TerrysNo2 · 09/12/2010 21:58

Hello Ladybeen welcome! Smile

Quick question ladies - I am meant to be flying to Germany on Wednesday for work. Is it ok for me to fly?? Confused

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 09/12/2010 21:47

Hey bee come to the right place, this is full of bfps in the last fortnight, its clearly the lucky thread!!

how are you toots?

LadybeenKissingSantaClaus · 09/12/2010 21:41

hello! you ladies obviously need topping up with non-preggos, so I thought I'd bring along my chart and join in here if that's ok?

Several names here I recognise

Erm, so introduction - I'm 37, have a DS (2.8) and have been TTC no.2 since October last year. In that time I've had two miscarriages, one in April, a blighted ovum discovered at a private 8 week scan, then another in August at about 8-9 weeks. Got tested for recurrent MC factors and have Leiden Factor V, and already have PCOS which is quite well controlled with metformin.

Anyway - just had another unsuccessful cycle go by so my chart is nothing to look at but I've been temping for a few cycles so my pattern is shown on the overlay (including my 2nd pg in the green line). I seem to have quite big dips in my LP and I'm interested to see whether any of you ladies think this is usual or whether I should be addressing it any way?

my chart

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 09/12/2010 21:40

Glad you dont feel too nervous spilt thatsgood x

TerrysNo2 · 09/12/2010 21:39

mouse I am thinking of you.

I just got 5 days free as someone signed up for FF from looking at my chart! I wonder who it could be?!?

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 09/12/2010 21:39

mouse i would say its safer (if it did happen, which its not going to!!) to see someone ie epu to make sure there is no debris left, plus also if its documented then it counts if you need it to for recurrent testing etc.

BUT its not going to come to that, see what tomorrow brings lovely xxxxx

mousebacon · 09/12/2010 21:18

Thanks love x

spilttheteaagain · 09/12/2010 21:11

mouse if it is a MC and you start bleeding and can manage the pain and the level of bleeding then I don't see why you would need to see anyone. If you do bleed you would need to check with pg tests until they go negative and if they don't then you do need help.

Hope that doesn't happen my lovely
