Hello - starting a new one as the old one filled up.....

Didn't want to start another...but I really hope this is the last thread for all of us.

Winkle yeah, sorry but you have lost it with the psychic thing! Grin
My friend at work did a similar thing, though. Was told she'd have four; a boy, a girl then same sex twins. Cynic me says that covered all bases but she was pregnant within months with her first. A boy...
Glad it cleared up when. I had bleeding in 2nd P and it is, literally, impossible not to think about it constantly. I just wanted to go to sleep and wake up 8 months later!

I go on the baby name board a lot but then I love names anyway. Go on them less than I used to - trying not to do things that upset me :(

What cd are you on? 4 times is good. We only dtd 5 times this month but was from cd12 to cd21 so we're covered.

Due on weds and also have first fertility appointment on weds Grin still hanging on to the 'wouldn't it be ironic if I got BFP on same day as appt' idea.

I indulge in baby names all the time winkle even confess to secretly lurking on the baby names board.

Indulgence is not a bad thing at all. How long to go till you find out? What dpo are you on?

We have dtd 4 times so far since cd10 Smile getting my hopes up again this month. Sigh!

Few stomach twinges but that could just be food related. Sound like a rumbling tummy.

Oh and I have allowed ourselves to indulge this evening and talk about babies! We've been discussing baby names Grin

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 17/02/2013 22:05

Grin at twinkle. Yes you've lost it. Bless you.

Any symptoms?

twinklestar2 · 17/02/2013 18:02

Have I gone mad as I'm a considering this: m.psychicbabyreadings.co.uk/Psychic-Baby-Reading.html

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 17/02/2013 14:06

Thanks everyone. It really was a tiny bit. Enough to notice when I wiped but that's it.

Having a nervous day again as I seem to have fewer symptoms (could easily be in my head).

weechops · 17/02/2013 13:36

Brown spotting is definitely old blood and glad its stopped when :)

Alexandra6 · 17/02/2013 11:26

Glad the spotting was brown, a couple of my friends had that when pg. I bet time seems to be standing still for you at the moment! Agree about back pains being a symptom.

Just had reflexology, bit sceptical about it but at least it was relaxing!

resipsa · 17/02/2013 11:19

Hey when try not to worry. It is true that bleeding is common, particularly of the "brown" variety. Stupid question time - can you distract yourself?

twinklestar2 · 17/02/2013 11:03

Fx when x

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 17/02/2013 10:16

Thanks thingy and red it's stopped Grin. Oh and the cramps have gone too.

Definitely just a bit of old blood, not going to poas again till Wed when hopefully the digi will say 2 weeks.

Thanks for holding my hand through this.

It's probably jut old blood when but I know how worrying any form of blood can be after a cp. don't think about it if you can. i have fx for you. Have you poas today?

Thingymajigs · 17/02/2013 09:00

Try not to worry too much when, I've heard it's very common in early pregnancy and its only old blood. I hope it stops soon.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 17/02/2013 08:10

Spotting started today Sad but it is brown not red. Will just have to keep my fingers crossed it drys up.

RedRobin1 · 16/02/2013 21:11

We have kept the dtd going so far. Will get a few more in the next few days before DH goes away for work.

Back pains are also an early pregnancy symptom when it's looking good Smile

OP posts:
WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 16/02/2013 20:51

twinkles right red keep on dtd.

Well af is due tomorrow, obviously I'm expecting / hoping it won't come. My back is killing me, like bad period pains. I remember getting the same pains when pregnant with dd but they started at about week 5. Hoping its just the uterus stretching and nothing sinister.

twinklestar2 · 16/02/2013 19:39

Keep dtd so you're covered :)

It CAN happen naturally for you winkle one lucky bugger is all it takes. Yay for more sore boobs.

I caved and checked my app - I am cd14 today. Can OV anytime in the next few days.

twinklestar2 · 16/02/2013 13:15

Not sure what that random tj is doing on the end there!

twinklestar2 · 16/02/2013 13:14

Glad things look like they are going the right way for you when! Really pleased!

I could have achy boobs from going for a run the first time in aaaaages the other day! My hopes aren't up :) I've kinda resigned myself to the fact that its not going to happen naturally for me, been feeling like that for ages now tj

Alexandra6 · 16/02/2013 10:39

I'm weirdly happy about your puking and burping symptoms too when!

kitty and red thanks so much for the supportive stories about clomid, I really hope it works. Currently trying to decide what time of day to take it and if that will make any difference to my success on it (cue obsessive googling) and also whether to bother temping or whether that will just put more pressure on. Have my follicle scan at the hospital on Friday. Where are you both up to in your cycles?

Hope you're still getting symptoms twinkle

Weirdly happy you are puking when also the fact that the line is even slightly darker is good as hcg must be rising.

Good luck with the clomid alex have you started taking it already? A work colleague of mine told me she was trying for 3 years and finally fell pregnant on her first round of clomid. Seems like a magic pill to me.

OP posts:
WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 16/02/2013 10:15

winkle how are those symptoms coming on?

I've poas again today, it's very slightly darker but not reassuringly so. Far more reassuring was the fact I was very nearly sick this morning. I was hungry and last time I was pregnant with dd being hungry made me puke.

Thingymajigs · 16/02/2013 10:02

It's not like you to mention symptoms twinkle, I'm getting quite excited for you. I hope this is your month.
How are you feeling now when?
I've woken up with a nasty head cold which means DP is now in charge of cooking a roast, looking after the kids and food shopping. I feel sick just thinking of letting go of all that control. I've decided to just go with it and hope for the best.
