No I'm losing it, it was a chemical. Now bright red blood, fucking fucking hell.

Oh god sebs just got this. Don't panic. It can be normal, as dark blood is old blood and just part of implantation and / or slight breakthrough bleeding as is when period is norm due.

Any pain? And what's it like, mucousy or bloody or watery? Or neither?

Girls, I'm out and I've just gone to the toilet and got dark brown cm in my knickers and when I wiped. Normal? Sad

I definitely didn't have this with my last pregnancy.

P.S. Bagsy for me to start the next thread, as it really does seem to be the OPs that get the BFPs!! Wink

PunkyBubba · 15/01/2014 13:16

Woohoo!! Congrats Sebs :-) Sending you lots of baby dust and praying it is a sticky one!

Sebs that sounds v promising indeed! Keeping everything crossed for a lovely clear BFP in a couple more days and your DH can get excited at last.

Zippy, love the idea of a warning on the packs, genius!

Well I think I'm officially playing the waiting game now - AF due anytime from 24th depending on what my crazy cycle is up to this month. Not feeling at all hopeful tbh, but then have moments of ridiculous symptom spotting that get me excited. Really really silly as I don't honestly have any and when I was pregnant first time around I didn't even know until 6 weeks + so clearly my body isn't very good at talking to me!! Now the hard part will be when to test is AF doesn't show her stupid face.

It is marginally darker, but nothing to get excited about. He texted me to ask if id tested again and if so would he be able to see the line. I said no.

This line game is very depressing, particularly when the one person you want to see it the most claims he cannot see it at all.

No sign of AF, no more blood. Only thing ive noticed is more mucousy cm which i think is normal.

fedupofrainydays · 15/01/2014 09:14

Oh and had the pink cm stopped?!

fedupofrainydays · 15/01/2014 09:14

Some people just deal with things in different ways. He clearly doesn't like the uncertainty of early preg!!

Did you test again this morn, darker? (We want to know even if your husband doesn't yet!!!)

PMSL zippy, I love the idea of warnings on preg boxes.

Well we really aren't talking!! He has disappeared off to work without asking me if the further test is darker or whether the witch has stayed away. Totally bizarre.

Anyway, it will be fine I'm sure.

Loads of love to you all xxxx

zippygeorgebungle · 14/01/2014 21:33

ha, sebs, there is a bit in that book "The Impatient Woman's Guide to Getting Pregnant" that says something like she will advise every woman not to tell their husband until they have the digi that says Pregnant, every man in the history of home pregnancy tests has looked at a faint line and declared they can't see it, somehow they need the words rather than the line! My kindle is out of charge or I would get the exact bit but she is quite amusing about how it is likely to cause a row I seem to recall.
Perhaps if so they should have a warning like on cigarette packs "Not suitable for husbands as they are not sufficiently equivocal"

Don't let this minor issue bother you sebs, we're all hugely pleased for you and so will he be very soon. x

Cakebaker35 · 14/01/2014 20:35

Ah sebs, I am sure it's just his way of not getting too excited just in case. But you will be throwing that BFP at him at the weekend, do come back to tell us all about the look on his face Smile

Lucy yes I think we need to just try and relax now and dtd if we feel like it, I'm pretty sure I'm past the magic fertile window now. Like you i tend to start off relaxed then turn into a crazy lady for the 2ww! Cycle is irregular as I only came off the pill in oct, so really not been long, it just seems it. Cannot believe I'm such a nutter after such a short time TTC!

My dd is 2, in terms of age gaps all i was sure of was not TTC before she turned 2 so I have my wish I guess!

Lucyjojo · 14/01/2014 20:18

Haha I can picture that Sebs! Sounds like a good plan! I agree with fedup though, he probably just doesn't want to get his hopes up too soon. He will feel soo guilty come the weekend when you get your big fat strong positive line!
No fedup, it's not relevant to me anymore either. I wanted a 2.5 year age gap so started trying last july, when DD was 1 year and 7 months, and I stopped breastfeeding her when she was 1, so I have none of the hormonal excuses.Sad my periods came back when she was about 10 months and they have been as regular as clockwork up until about 3 months ago - when I started getting really worried about ttc some might point out! -
