Hiya,

I put August as its a little late for July!

I'm TTC number 4(!)

Due to test on the 15th August but don't think we have much chance this month as its only our first and DH has been ill for a few days and now I've got the bug, so not much romance happening!

So just wonderded if anyone is just starting TTC and wanted to join me?

Me too. I don't care if it's the most uncomfortable thing in the world, it's just what's to come I'll be thinking of :)

GruffaloMama · 17/11/2010 13:45

it's all worth it, isn't it. things not looking rosy here. Have been spotting for the last couple of days. Really think this one might not stick. Tried to call the midwife last night but no answer. Feeling pretty low.

you have too much time on your handsGrin

KLou111 · 18/11/2010 17:03

lol!! I do at the mo. Trying to do our house up (old barn, and they didn't convert it very well). Having massive conservatory built at mo so we're on hold til that done as our whole downstairs will go in there before we can start downstairs, so yes I am a bit bored!!

AAAAAAAAANYWAY....Went to loo earlier and wiped and had discharge with brown streaks in it. Not sure what it is as supposedly only OV'd Monday, so only 3DPO.

Any ideas??

GruffaloMama · 18/11/2010 20:16

thanks for your hugs - really do mean a lot!

Hi Klou - Take That gotta be better for Christmas no 1 than awful Simon Cowell drivel... Not sure what the streaks might be - seems a wee bit early for implantation but you never know?

Today things seem a bit better. Spoke to the Early Pregnancy Unit last night. I've had a bit more spotting last night - a bit heavier - but no cramping. Midwife seemed to think that as long as it was 'old blood' (sorry a bit grim) and I didn't get cramps it could just be extended implantation spotting. I can do a test again in a few days to check I'm still preg. And I can go in for a blood test for reassurance if I want - they can't really scan yet. So hopefully it'll be okay. Have been feeling really nauseous today and boobs tender when feeding DS so hoping those are good signs...

lizandlulu · 18/11/2010 21:07

well keep thinking good things gruffalo. i know loads of people who have bled on and off all the way through their pergnancies, it doesnt always mean the worstSmile

hmm klou no idea, i dont know how long after ovulation implantation would happen so i cant be of any help, sorry!

still no af for me, i am guessing that i ovulated on the sunday i was in new york, but only going by the wet vaginal feeling i had, which was really late, 2 weks later than usual. but seeing as af still hasnt come, i am thinking that might be right. it will be 2 weeks on sunday since then, so am going to test again on saturday if af still doesnt show. i am hoping that i am right, and that the copious amounts of sex we had that week has done some goodGrin

(well done if you read all that and follow!)

MadKatz · 19/11/2010 10:55

Positive thoughts and hugs coming your way gruffalo

Good Luck Liz, sounds promising

Well I should be Ov now according to FF but definitely no EWCM not even much CM at the mo so god knows whats going on! Will try the saliva monitor in the morning. At least its the weekend so lots of BD'ing time available!!

GruffaloMama · 19/11/2010 12:39

Hi all. Things still okay here - will test again at the weekend and let you know.

Klou - I read something last night that said that post-ov your cervix can be a bit irritated which can occasionally cause very minor spotting - so maybe that? I think it was on the Babycentre website (not that I was obsessively reading anything about unexplained bleeds, you understand...

Liz timing sounds about right. Will be thinking of you then - we can virtually hold hands whilst waiting for the magic lines to show up!

Madkatz good luck for the weekend!

KLou111 · 19/11/2010 16:36

Thank you Gruffalo will have a look. Hope to read good news from you this weekend, big (virtual) hugs x

Good luck Liz I look forward to hopefully reading you good news tomorrow x

Madkatz Happy shagging x

lizandlulu · 19/11/2010 17:23

cheers peeps! i am kind of pinning my hopes on it being positive, otherwise its just not good!

Ilovemarmite79 · 19/11/2010 18:46

Hello, not been on this thread for a while. Just came to say AF is 4 days late but HPT are BFN. Not sure what to do next. Trying to wait a week.

GruffaloMama · 19/11/2010 19:43

Hi Klou here's that link on babycentre

Ilovemarmite welcome back - it's hard to wait to test isn't it... It might just be a bit early for it to show up or maybe you ov'ed late?

So what's everyone up to this weekend (apart from madkatz Wink

Ilovemarmite79 · 19/11/2010 20:08

Thanks Gruffalomama. I keep thinking maybe I'm just late but was using ovulation tests so pretty certain when I ov'ed. That would mean even with a 16 day luteal phase (usually 14) I would come on thursday.

GruffaloMama · 19/11/2010 21:05

Sounds good then - fingers crossed for you.

KLou111 · 19/11/2010 21:38

Thank you gruffalo

Hi Ilovemarmite fingers x-d

Not a lot going on this weekend. DH just told me we're taking a drive into town tomorrow (we're in the sticks) to get some beer lol - he's pulling his hair out to Children In Need at the moment. Not the greatest I must admit!!

lizandlulu · 19/11/2010 21:38

ohh keep us posted ilovemarmite79 Smile

i am def testing tomorrow morning, first wee of the day.

gruffalo i am taking me mtoehr out tomorrow, then got a kids party 5-7, and seeing as how dh is away in benirom with his mates and has been there since tuesday and comes home tomorrow, he is taking me to ikea on sunday. i need a load of photo frames, and got a list of jobs for him to do on his return!

lizandlulu · 20/11/2010 08:07

nope, big fat letters that say 'NOT PREGNANT'Sad must just have ovulated late and will still be getting af sometime soon, but this has put my cycles all out of sync, for the last 4-5 cycles they hhave all been 27-30 daysSad

GruffaloMama · 20/11/2010 10:40

Sorry Liz though it might just be too early for it to show - so frustrating though. (I nearly threw out the first internet cheapy I did as the reaction was so faint I hardly spotted it).

Klou agree with your DH about Children in Need. Bloody awful TV last night and I didn't even have anything saved on the Sky box. My DH was out so I tucked myself up in bed early. Unfortunately DS had other ideas - he's teething and kept me up for quite a while. VERY tired this morning. And grumpy. Am being a right moody cow - can cry at the drop of a hat (couldn't possibly watch children in need because of the sad bits where they tell you about neglected kids) - but I was like that when first preg with DS so actually quite pleased...

I did a test in between him waking up - still positive - and a stronger result so hopefully everything's still okay in there.

KLou111 · 20/11/2010 11:55

So sorry Liz keep thinking positive though. The AF witch still hasn't caught you under her spell yet, so there is still hope x

Glad everything still OK with your bean Gruffalo x

MadKatz · 20/11/2010 13:38

Sorry about your BFN liz x

lizandlulu · 20/11/2010 15:18

thanks all, i wont hold out much hope. it was a clearblue digital so should be good enough to detect it, i have had NO sex in the last week, with dh being away, so i doubt very much its wrong.

i am SO glad everything is still a-ok with you gruffalo go and treat yourself so something vry prettySmile
