Ok Ladies... new thread, since the old one was getting too long and dragging my computer (and Kat's) down with it!

MrsD - cant believe you are 30 weeks already! So you found that cutting out the lactose helps? It will be almost a week for me and I have noticed some improvement, but not a lot. Of course, he is still getting a milk-based formula supplement to the BFing. I am going to switch to a soy formula and see if it makes a difference as well. Until then... God give me strength!!! LOL

I wish I had a digital readout on my arm to let me know what's going on!

So brown discharge continued v lightly through the weekend but then this afternoon there was bright red blood. Not enough for AF but enough to make me think something's not right in terms of pg.

So now I'm Confused. I mean, if egg got fertilised but not implanted then would a test show +ve? Therefore if I test am I setting myself up for a fall?

Or could I be pg anyway? It's gone a bit brownish again now and is nothing like normal AF.

buttonmoon78 · 23/10/2010 21:06

Spotting stopped. Still no AF. It's a long time til Monday am! Grin

hattyyellow · 22/10/2010 16:22

Sorry to hear you're out pink. Fingers crossed for next month for you - does that make this month the nice neat cycle you were hoping for?

Button, sounds promising! Everything crossed!

No news either way from me as yet. Day 29. Really thought things were going to start earlier as I got that "heavy" feeling in my stomach - do you know what I mean? But still no sign - heavy feeling comes and goes. Still not that overdue so AF could still start tonight.

Am a complete hormonal headcase either way. Spent an embarassing ten minutes wandering around our local village shop with DD3 this morning, trying to work out what I felt like eating tonight and then was so thrown that I left without buying anything! Then burst into hysterical tears when trying to fathom out what paperwork I needed to send back to finance my new laptop. DH had to do it all for me, felt utterly pathetic!

Well, we're actually away for the w/e so waiting to test shouldn't be too difficult as I'll be nice and busy!

Strangely though, more spotting (TMI alert), a sort of brown discharge rather than fresh blood and only when I wipe, but still no proper AF. Normally I get an hour or so spotting and then she arrives good and proper.

So, will continue with my symptom spotting and wait until Monday!

Thanks all!

Ohh hatty any news from you? Have you tested yet?Wink

pinkclouds · 22/10/2010 09:43

I'm out AF arrived this morning. But at least this means I was about right with my ov date, that makes me feel better.Smile and better than that my periods have come straight back after taking the pill Grin.

So here we go back to CD1

button fingers crossed for you.

A little spotting this morning - implantation? period?

BUT, bfn.

hatty due on Monday (at a guess) this is going on EWCM and a nearly +OPK!!. If I go on my withdrawal bleed then it should be here by now.Confused

I some ways really want AF to get here so I know where I am starting from.

Hatty Come on test alreadyGrin!!!!

I can't stand the wait, really need to stop over-thinking everythingHmm

hattyyellow · 21/10/2010 17:16

When is AF due pink? I like your positive thinking. I am trying to remind myself of my concerns about having a newborn at the start of the school holidays to let myself down gently if AF appears!

Wish it would just start if it's going to! Finding it very hard to concentrate but can't quite face testing until more overdue than a few hours!!

pinkclouds · 21/10/2010 14:35

Good luck Hatty it's so exciting.

Well I have no PMT or Pregnant feelings either way! I think I am 10 DPO, I have come to the conclusion that if AF arrives on time this will be as good as being pg Hmm, cause then at least I know where I am and that I have had no side effects from the pill.

hattyyellow · 21/10/2010 08:50

Day 28. No AF as yet.

One day of PMT type feelings this week, apart from that none of the normal PMS signs.

Can't bring myself to test - as I remember ttcing DD3 this happened one cycle and AF still arrived.

Grin yes - v particularly early! Well, at least, it's early given when I think I ovulated but late given normal af due date.

Confused
hattyyellow · 20/10/2010 10:00

Pink what lovely news for your friend! I love happy stories like that.

Buttonmoon do you think there's still a chance for you this month even if BFN - did you test particulary early?

I have what feels like horrendous PMT so I think I'm probably out this month..

pinkclouds · 19/10/2010 18:06

Well still nothing interesting here, and have been so busy that symptom spotting has gone out the window.Smile

On the other hand my friend who has been ttc for 3 years got a BFP after being told at a consultation app last week she wasn't!! The one today said 5 weeks can't believe they missed it.Confused

So pleased for her and makes me feel better that if and when I am pg, I can tell her without that horrible guilty feelingGrin

buttonmoon78 · 19/10/2010 08:34

Tested yesterday am - bfn. So am waiting to test again in a few days.

Other than a spot of weepiness last week I have NO symptoms of any sort - either pg or af!

Ho hum. I am sooo impatient!

pinkclouds · 18/10/2010 15:43

Hatty Me too!! No symptoms at all lol. (apart from exhaustion, but putting this down to one too many glasses of wine last nightGrin)

Still its a bit early I suppose I'm only about 7DPO i think!! Oh well another week to wait.

hattyyellow · 18/10/2010 10:25

Sorry, Loopy, forgot to say what fantastic news that the scan went so well! You must be over the moon :).

hattyyellow · 18/10/2010 10:24

Big hugs all around. Loopy, you will do just fine - you have managed 3 brilliantly so 4 should be a breeze!

Kat, I really hope things work out okay and they can find some way of treating/protecting the bean. 5 may seem a lot but hey you sound like you're doing brilliantly with 4, so it was obviously somehow meant to be!

Means hope you get some rest! Button moon sounds interesting when can you test?

Foghorn welcome! I have also forgotten most of my ttcing info as haven't thought about ttcing since early 08!

Apologies to everyone I have probably forgotten, have only skimmed down so far as am supposed to be at work.

Well nothing exciting from me. . Day 25, don't feel remotely pregnant. Don't think it will ever happen

KatnKankles · 18/10/2010 07:45

Hi Loopy,

It's because I'm having shared care. I have had 2 previous PPHs and I also have grade 3 cervical dysplasia or CIN3 what they look for in smears) for which I am supposed to be having treatment. They agreed to wait until after I'd had Ava as the loop excision can cause cervical weakness but now I'm pregnant again I'm not sure what they'll do.
If it's got any worse I'll be having the treatment as i'm not taking any chances.

Just more stress to add to it all!
