Well, this is a whole new load of crazy for me. This morning, after having Not Pregnant staring back at me, (buddlebee, it's horrid isn't it?) I broke open the Digi with a steak knife. There was a faint line next to the control line. Still can't stop worrying though so will test again towards the end of next week. Keep me company, ladies!

So sorry to hear your news Jones, take care Thanks

I'm out, af has arrived, onto cycle 10, can't believe it's double figure territory. Hoping onto March bus, good luck to all those left to test and I hope I don't see you there!!

CursiveLetters · 22/02/2014 16:07

Jones we're here supporting you, I had the same experience w my first pregnancy back in May. It really is very common, though of course that doesn't help the sadness when you're going through it. Huge hugs.

Pinkfairy88 · 22/02/2014 14:02

I am out, af arrived in full flow this morning with spotting for last day or so. Not exactly surprised as was our first month ttc so I'm ok with the outcome. Onwards and upwards!

Congrats to the bfps and sorry to those who af got. Good luck for March ladies :-)

MrsExtraOrdinary · 22/02/2014 13:21

Jones I'm so very sorry! Thanks I've been in your shoes, please don't blame yourself. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you at all. Give yourself time. It's terribly sad when it's so much wanted.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 22/02/2014 13:09

Oh jones, in so sorry. I had an early miscarriage at 5+4 and although it was straight forward, very little cramping it has left me feeling very flat. I hope you have DH to give you lots of cuddles. Just take it easy. As mama said, it's very common and does not mean there's anything wrong with your body.

Mama, gutted for you that you're spotting already. Hopefully it is just the vitex. Hope it's just a random day of it and didn't continue.

mama31 · 22/02/2014 12:51

Hi ladies sorry to hear of so many bfns/spotting/af arrivals!

And so so sorry Jones, please rest and take care of yourself it's so difficult no matter what stage you are at. I hope you have good support around you x

Well I've nothing positive to add I'm afraid, spotting started last night at 5dpo! Gutted! I always get pre af spotting but earliest has been at 8 or 9dpo so it's just getting worse and earlier! Really hoped the vitex/reflexology would have helped but it's worse!

I have read that vitex can take up to 3 months to settle hormones and to stick with it as initially it can cause spotting, so I think I will keep taking it to see what happens but I'm just so gutted I don't know what to do for the best!!!

So disheartening really. But I guess I'm kind of used to the disappointment now. Hate that I'll now be spotting for about a week until full flow arrives! :(

buddhabee · 22/02/2014 12:27

don't know if i'm in or not af due on the 17th (26/27 cycle usually), took test on tues negative and took a super duper clear blue digi this morning and big fat NOT PREGNANT stared back at me.

been feeling ill, hot, weeing all the time and all that but no idea! going to go to the doctors next week i think if nothing has happened,

i swear i could throttle those teachers that scared the living shit out of you as a kid telling you if you ever have sex then you will have a baby immediately!

so confused - spent most of my life thinking coming off pill, shag, baby, bosh!

:/

missmrsmummy · 22/02/2014 12:09

I'm sure no miscarriage is easy Jones thinking of you Thanks

It's very common so please don't think there's something wrong with you. Rest lots xx

JonesSchool · 22/02/2014 12:02

Hi all, please could someone take me off the stats, sadly had an early miscarriage yesterday at 5 weeks. I had been spotting for a few days and just had a horrid feeling something wasn't right!
Physically the nurse tried to suggest this was an easier miscarriage, not cramping, just lots of blood and clots. Mentally not so easy, much hoped for baby and very scared there is something wrong with my body.
Xxxx

missmrsmummy · 22/02/2014 10:57

What a confusing time for everyone Confused I hope you still get BFPs!

NewlymrsB · 22/02/2014 09:46

Ttc #1 cycle 2 bfp ??

Currently on cd31, have only been off bc a short time first cycle was 34 days (wasn't ttc) 2nd cycle 30 days so I'm expecting AF anytime now really.

Finding the waiting game really hard! Congrats to all those who got their bfp!! Fingers crossed for us that are still waiting!! Xx

LemonDrizzler · 22/02/2014 09:39

Sorry Treacle and Mango - af is so much more upsetting after you have got your hopes up with it being late. Thanks

Kitty and Rhi - fingers crossed! :)

Rhi where are you? Want us to look up a translation of FRER!! Wink

Knottyknitter · 22/02/2014 09:34

Not sure what's going on with me. After my bfn yesterday, I gave up and went to buy opks for next month in a bit of a strop figured it was game over for feb and started to feel AF on her way, so found the trusty mooncup. This morning....nothing. I was so hopeful that my cycle had settled, but it seems not. Sad

Wineandchoccy · 22/02/2014 09:31

Congratulations to the faint lines, I hope they get darker and stick!

Sorry for the ones that are spotting and already have AF.

We dtd again last night as had a positive opk on Thurs, yesterday's was almost the same colour line but not as dark.

I had stabby pains that were really uncomfortable last night which I think must have been ovulation pains.

Might have a day off dtd today and dtd tomorrow as smep is exhausting!!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 22/02/2014 08:49

Tentative congratulations Rhi!
Hopefully your spotting is just that Kitty, and that it's just too early for the digi!

Treaclepie19 · 22/02/2014 08:38

Sorry everyone thats spotting!
Mine is the same this morning. Barely anything there. I had this last month too :/ very unlike my usual period.

Why is this all so confusing?

LittleMissSunshine33 · 22/02/2014 08:33

Oh no Kitty touchwood it's just spotting and the line gets stronger!

Sorry treacle Regina and caged still some hope though you just never know til your in full flow!!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 22/02/2014 08:30

I'm sorry caged Brew you've got good company on the march bus though! Caged I thought I was spotting yesterday afternoon, when I say spotting I mean a small amount of dark discharge (sorry crotch watch involves tmi). Was fairly convinced id wake up in a flood but just a bit more of the same. Have got cramps this morning but had those a good week! I really don't mind af coming this month, just wish she'd get a move on Smile

Mind you I wasn't sure I'd oved at all and if I did it was very late, so would account for the extended cycle. Am tempted by these opk thingamies but fairly sure I'll become neurotic! Don't think I've got kitty's stamina though either Grin I think my dh might faint at the prospect! GrinGrin

CagedMango · 22/02/2014 08:18

I think I'm out frer with fmu is negative and to top it I've had some brown spotting (after using the test-if I'd sen it before I wouldn't have used it) so af will be on here way. I'm going to hang out here for a bit but I'm sure I'll be on the march bus.

Sorry to hear that treacle, kitty and mrs extra-what is going on this month?

Congrats Rhi-will keep my fx! Enjoy your holiday!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 22/02/2014 08:14

Fingers crossed rhibee!

Kitty it could still be too early for a digi. I don't know really because I've never done one of those tests myself. Take it easy today though Brew it could be a spot of spotting which seems to be contagious this month on the bus. Not necessarily bad. Thanks

KittyVonCatsington · 22/02/2014 08:00

I'll test again with you, Rhi-when do you get home? I have read that a line is a line. Doesn't stop us worrying though does it!? Tentative congratulations coming your way Thanks

OP posts:
RhiBee29 · 22/02/2014 07:54

Sorry treacle and congrats kitty

Smuggled an ic in my case, got a v.faint line today at 12dpo, DH can see it too, scared its an evap line though. My phrase book doesn't stretch to "do you sell frer" so will have to wait til I get home.

KittyVonCatsington · 22/02/2014 07:52

Right, don't think I'm leaving the bus just yet... Woke up this morning and (TMI alert) with coloured discharge in my knickers, not blood per se, just not CM. took another FRER with FMU in a cup, line was there but definitely more faint than yesterday. So I used one of my CB Digis using the same cup and it flashed Not Pregnant. Looks like I'm going to be playing the waiting game for a few days. Arrrggghhh!
