I really hope its implantation for you. Vicky had implantation that she thought was AF so there is always hope!!

NurseyJay · 23/03/2014 18:49

Wood I expected it on Wednesday coming, so it was 5 days early... I have googled it in the past, but it only said light bleeding etc... This is similar flow to AF, but isn't a constant flow... I'm working tonight, so will google again if I get time :)

woodwaj · 23/03/2014 17:47

I didnt think your AF was due that soon either nursey when did you expect it? Have you googled implantation bleeding?

I hope you get AF Or bfp soon broody im sure that you would appreciate either one at this point. I ran out of opks and didnt realise so just temping for me this month I think im on day 12 maybe so would expect to ov soon ish.

Well done on the bloods vicky. I bet with all the food you have been having they will be pleased at your next scan. Did you get a pram?

NurseyJay · 23/03/2014 17:21

Been reading about how some women have AF while they're pregnant. Mentioned it to my mum and she said she did while she was pregnant with me!! Now I'm beginning to wonder if that'll happen to me/if its hereditary.... So i'm even more confused now :(
I've definately had more period type pains this month altho its slightly more central, towards my tummy button rather than where my ovary is (if u see what I mean)... My period also seems a bit weird this month; slightly diff colour and flow. It was earlier than expected as well.... Any suggestions as I'm driving myself mad. Lol.

broodysnoopstie · 23/03/2014 10:26

I think if I'm honest I've decided the only way to keep my sanity is to tentatively admit I could be pg and as I'm already not drinking and taking folic acid I figure that's enough for now. If I get to docs and blood says no ill deal with that at the time be devastated and in the mean time maybe I'll get AF or a bfp I'm testing 2 or 3 times a week. AF 14days late today.. BFN

Sorry Nursey AF is a b*h indulge in all bad things and get ready for lots of lovely dtd again! Smile

onelifeonechance · 23/03/2014 09:32

Ah sorry Nursey, she's a mean thing. Hope you're feeling ok, chocolate is required and lots of it!

Broody, you are amazing, don't know how you're doing this. Sorry work is so busy, sounds v hard, hope it eases up for you soon. Again, chocolate is required and lots of it! Grin

NurseyJay · 22/03/2014 17:58

Dammit... AF's reared her ugly head... thats me out for another month :(
Hope ur all more successful!

broodysnoopstie · 22/03/2014 15:43

Vicky!!!! Wooooooooop! GrinGrinGrinGrinGrin

So happy for you and mini V!

Still no AF here, might not be able to get to Doc appt now, work is crazy and I just don't think I can get there so think Ill have to cancel and reschedule, if poss.. But I work varying antisocial hours and for next 2/3 weeks I'll be doing 9am til 11pm.. But then will move to evenings only for a while...

Told DP he said we'll just have to be patient then.. And see what happens!... The wait might kill me... dramatic

Hope you are all having lovely weekends x

NurseyJay · 21/03/2014 23:29

Wood I do get spotting but not usually a week before AF; usually a few days... still crossing my fingers tho...
Hope all's good with u...

onelifeonechance · 21/03/2014 17:34

Whoop whoop, high five Vix Grin fab news. Hope the pushchair shopping went well.

Happy Friday everyone!!!!!!!!

Vickyvix · 21/03/2014 10:08

Woo hoo, I called for my blood results and all is fine, I tested negative for both infections so that at least rules that out as a reason for mini V being a bit small. What a relief.

Off out for a giant breakfast with DH now to build some stamina for pushchair shopping :)

broody glad you have an appt booked, I agree with wood that maybe you should keep doing the OPKs and if it is around your normal ov time. Fingers firmly crossed for you

woodwaj · 21/03/2014 07:23

Hold out for the docs but if now is when you would normally ov maybe keep doing them

Nursey if its not normal for you its a good sign.

Enjoy your day off vicky. Super jealous

NurseyJay · 21/03/2014 00:29

Thanks for the luck everyone... i'm keeping everything crossed but think it might be spotting prior to AF... Tryin 2 keep positive but it's difficult :(

broodysnoopstie · 20/03/2014 20:16

I do Yep. I've just done one it is negative along with the ic hpt! Doc is on wed x

woodwaj · 20/03/2014 19:30

Do you normally do opks? Would be interesting to see what the results say.

What day is your docs appointment?

broodysnoopstie · 20/03/2014 19:28

nursey I obsess over everything too. V. normal in this 2ww ttc madness! Smile

broodysnoopstie · 20/03/2014 19:27

wood no I haven't. . Should I?? Someone on the march bus who's also late with a bfn has just been to doc and Been told it's not that rare for hpt to not show positive and has sent her for bloods! eeek I've got my hopes up!!!

Vickyvix · 20/03/2014 18:04

Glad you're having a good day one

That could be a good sign nursey see if you can make it to at least 12dpo (ideally 14dpo) and then maybe do a test, if you test early use something sensitive like a FRER. Good luck

Right, the weekend starts here for me. Off to give Mini V's room another coat of paint before DH gets home, so pleased I have a day off tomorrow :)

onelifeonechance · 20/03/2014 17:18

Thanks for my birthday wishes all, especially my bday candles Smile I have devoured my body weight in Lindor choccy balls and I am embracing my birthday bubbles Grin

Fx nursey and Broods I'm still v hopeful for you

woodwaj · 20/03/2014 16:35

Thats a good sign nursey try and hold out a bit longer before testing. I have not even ov'd yet so no where near the 2ww

Broody have you tried any opks recently? ?

NurseyJay · 20/03/2014 09:51

Happy birthday one

I switched period/ovulation trackin app and realised it wasnt quite set up right... Doesn't really matter as me and DH DTD on the days it said I was most fertile anyway.. :)

However it turns out that I am now 8dpo... Yesterday I had a lil bit of light blood/discharge when I wiped (tmi, sorry)... I don't usually get spotting this early before AF so I'm wondering if I could be pregnant and it's implantation bleeding or i'm just paying much more attention to EVERYTHING my body does. Lol.

Anyone else in their 2ww n obsessing over every slight twinge, mood, etc?! Lol.

Vickyvix · 20/03/2014 09:10

Woo hoo Happy Birthday one Wine Cake

Have given Mini V a pat from you do hope you enjoyed those bubbles ;)

Have a fab day today.

Ah broody I really feel for you, glad you've got a GP appointment. It's definitely odd that you have lots of CM but still a BFN. Agree that it's just fine to tell a few white lies to get some answers.

broodysnoopstie · 20/03/2014 07:54

Happy Birthday One!! Wine That all sounds v. positive about your appointment. I'm so pleased for you. He does sound super lovely. Good to know re alcohol and dtd eod around Ov.

but TYPICAL man don't want to put your dh through it but you have to have a whole host of things done to you! ha.

Vicky aw you can feel her move? ? amazing. I so long for that day!

Well it's dull here CD 44 no af. I'm bored of writing it! Going to Docs next week Wood. Yep totally up for white lies wood my cycles are fairly very regular and this has never happened before. I'm now 11 days late and according to my app should be approaching my fertile period if AF had been on time. Still getting loads of CM kept thinking aF had finally arrived yesterday as was so wet! Sorry tmi.

My body is very confusing! !

woodwaj · 19/03/2014 21:49

Ooooh you kept that one quiet!! Have a fantastic day, I hope you get spoilt!!

If that's the case I will be phoning them for an early scan which would be nice (hopefully)

It's my birthday eve right now, big day tmrw Grin

Glad you've got a nice consultant too Wood, really does make a big difference. Yes have an ask about the hycosy, see what they say, can't hurt. Not much longer to wait for your appt now either. Enjoy smepping and fx you can ring the fertility clinic and tell them thank you ever so much but I won't be needing your appt now thank you please Grin

Thanks V, I'll have some bubbles for you if you give little V a pat from me Smile
