Wondering if anyone wants a buddy?
I'm ttc #2 (DD 13m)
Just finishing AF and embarking on cycle 2

Come shove 2 fingers to the back of the witch and let's count down to O and POAS psychotically in a few weeks...

I'm going all out this month with SMEP, pressed, EPO, OPKs....

Afternoon all! Haven't been on here in a while peeps, how is everyone doing? I am in the 2ww, AF not due until next Friday and last 2 days have had brown and a tiny bit of pink spotting. We DTD before and throughout my fertile window (according to ovia bitch). Have never had spotting before, don't know what to think!

DrMum83 · 10/03/2016 14:34

Thanks blink - omg, why is it taking so long to have the coil taken out? Who's doing it, GP or family planning?
Hope you catch quickly as soon as it's out!

Congratz drmum 😀still two weeks til my coils out. But I'll be on my fertile days so fingers crossed!

DrMum83 · 09/03/2016 20:08

Sorry guys - but I will hang around for a bit if that's ok?!
C'mon mimi I think you'll be lucky this month!! Hope you're dtd every day!!
ohno - it's crap when babies change their sleep patterns! Hope yours settles again, I agree, the last thing you want is to Dtd when you're knackered!

I think I'm 4+1, based on ovulation rather than LMP. I'm still trying not to think about it too much as it's such early days.
Having (tmi) lots of white discharge and sides of boobs are a little tender but that's it. Had slight metallic taste in mouth on and off but I'm trying not to read into stuff too much.
I saw my best mate on Monday - she told me she's pregnant - she is ONE DAY ahead of me, weird!!

You are so right ohno.here we are thinking we got company on this long journey haha. drmum u will have to hang around till we all get our bfps Grin

How are u today guys? Thanks for the baton oh .hoping I get knocked up this month or next. Cd8 today so after taking dh for dinner tonight, lots of......Smile.till next week
I don't use opks but have short cycles so gotta start dtd eod early .

Sorry for not getting enough sleep and fx u and dh mend things soon. U need to get started on ttc incase it takes forever like me lol (cycle 9)

Drmum any symptoms yet?hope u stick around and update on every little twinge.

ohnonotanother1 · 09/03/2016 09:17

Well you were rubbish, I joined this thread hoping for tears and turmoil and months of suffering and you got pregnant in the first few posts. It's down to you and me now mimi...

haha seriously though, massive congrats!!! How are you feeling? Any symptoms? it's funny, I had a feeling your weird spotting sounded just like early pregnancy, how exciting!!! Do you know how far along you are? I tracked on the ova preg app and it was quite nice counting off the days. You must keep us posted!!

Nope, not even dtd once this month and I'm beginning my pre-af spotting which is no surprise. My 10 month old has started waking every 1.5-2 hours every night for about a month now though so I can't see that situation changing, not only am I knackered but the tiredness is making me and dh hate each other haha. Feeling fine about it though, don't want to be preg whilst fighting and could really do with the baby sorting his sleep out before getting back to pregnancy insomnia. A few more months won't hurt.

So I'm officially handing the BFP baton to you this month mimi - do us proud! Do you use OPKs? CD7 seems quite early to be ovulating so you might have to give him another bday treat at the weekend haha

DrMum83 · 08/03/2016 20:36

Thanks mimi! I'm still not quite believing it!
Hope birthday month is your month! Have you got any different tactics this month?

Any news today DrMum?

I may be mistaken but I thought that generally you get AF 14 days after ov, so if you're 11dpo you're not actually due on yet? Had a quick skim through the posts but couldn't see exactly what OPKs you're using but I vaguely remember you saying cheap amazon ones? So don't forget they give you an idea when you get the hormone surge but you might not actually ov until a couple of days later. Add 14 days onto that and you're still testing very very early.

My spotting was just like pre AF spotting, brown/pal pink when wiping only, couple of times a day. It stopped by the time AF was due. Also had AF type cramps and generally felt like I was about to come on any minute. So my bets are that you just ov'd a bit late, which means you're testing a bit too early to get a strong line, but that a good fat line will appear in the next days.

How's everyone else?

No news here. I must be due on this week I think, I'm really out of touch this month because I know there's nothing to look out for...

Mimilicious013 · 07/03/2016 07:50

Hie
Sorry was mia. It's nice to come back to some good news. How exciting. Post pic when u poas today. Smilecongrats hun. Yay!!

DrMum83 · 05/03/2016 19:12

Hey!
Well..... Af due today (11dpo) and still just mild brown spotting...
Both a frer and CB have shown faint pos lines within time limit. Theyre squinters, but DH agrees a faint line...
I'm still feeling I'm out. Have got a frer for fmu tomorrow. I just can't get excited, been a roller coaster week!
How are you girls?

Morning ladies. Hope u all slept well.any news drmum today. Fx it's ib and not af.
Hie ohno what's the latest with u?(gossip)

DrMum83 · 03/03/2016 16:44

ohno thanks for being positive! Do you remember what your spotting was like? I had the same last month which obv became af but never had it before ttc... Weird! Tmi alert - mine's brown, mucousy, tiny weeny bit on wiping only.

How are things with you? Are you getting a bit more sleep now?

OP posts:
ohnonotanother1 · 03/03/2016 14:23

I had spotting from earlier than 9dpo when I was pregnant! In fact I was so fed up of spotting every month for about 3-4 days before AF and that particular month it started so early I booked a Dr appt, happened to do a test that morning and it was v v faint, and the Dr did a blood test to rule it out. Instead it confirmed it!

So don't give up hope yet!

DrMum83 · 03/03/2016 13:14

Thanks Mimi. Hope you're ok and feeling positive about this cycle.
I think I'm out- having v light brown spotting and frer neg.
Bit worried as spotting 9dpo...? Worried I've got a luteal phase defect - might be cos I'm still breastfeeding I guess...

OP posts:
Mimilicious013 · 03/03/2016 11:10

Oooh hun (hugs) I can feel your frustration. Anyways we still hopeful cause no af so fx the bfp will come eventually.

How is it possible though to get two lines if it is not positive.I'm hopeful that its just a little early but the bfp is around the corner. Fx

DrMum83 · 02/03/2016 19:41

Omg. I'm such a dumb ass. Just realised I peed on the stick but didn't put the stick in the digital reader 😟 hence that was a false positive. I'm seriously not an idiot but bought it I a rush and didn't read the instructions... I've done it properly and bfn.
Why do I do this to myself?!

Ok I'm mental.
I just did a pregnancy test - tesco blue dye (bought the wrong one, hate blue dyes) and within 2 minutes, got this...
What's your thoughts? Not getting hopes up!

Hey ohno - sorry you didn't get to dtd this month but sounds like you've had a lot of stress on... I defo think having a baby interferes with cycle, I'm still breastfeeding (twice per day) and have noticed changes.

mimi sorry the bitch got you Sad its just so shit isn't it?
I definitely think AF on it's way, had cramps and checked my cervix and noted a tiny speck of brown on my finger. Pissed right off today now. What's worrying me is that my luteal phase is so short so thinking, with spotting, its likely my progesterone is low because I'm still breastfeeding. I know its only cycle 2 and I'm being a dick, but really pissed off today.
Onwards and upwards I guess, sorry to moan

Hope u and dh are on the mend. A day or two to poas now drmum

ohnonotanother1 · 02/03/2016 09:32

I'm still here (having massive log on issues so can only log on from my desktop, and have been away from home...)

How's everyone getting on?

I'm 100% out - haven't had sex all month (if there's ever a sure fire way to not get pregnant... haha) A mixture of being away for just over a week and a half, and having some catastrophic fights before I left, the stress of the home improvements we're having done has got to us!! Also DC1 hasn't been sleeping so one of us has been on the sofa most nights so the other one doesn't get woken my the baby monitor. Due on in about a week so no chance now.

I would have made more effort to force the matter but I really would prefer a 2017 baby so have just let it ride out and will start being more active with the trying in the next couple of months.

Did do some OPKs whilst away and it's really weird, I used to ov really early in my cycle just after my period but this time it was quite a lot later, about 8 or 9 days after AF finished. Wonder if having a baby changes your cycle? Haven't used OPKs since having DC1. Also wonder if it means my cycles will be longer, always used to be about 24 days so maybe if I ov on day 15ish then I'll be back to a 28 day cycle like I had when i was younger? bodies are weird aren't they!

Has anyone got any news? symptoms? fill me in on the gossip!
