MrBs Happy Birthday! Hope you get a nice birthday present when you poas!!

rambini · 10/02/2014 14:18

Feeling a little fed up today. 12dpo, cramping, headaches, backache, brown cm (sorry tmi) and all the other tell tale signs that AF is well on her way.
Negative FRER this morning.
And a dental abscess to boot :-(

missmrsmummy · 10/02/2014 16:03

Sorry to those feeling down/getting AF Thanks such a tough time and so disheartening.

Wahoo Rhi get home and get busy!

smorgasborgen · 10/02/2014 16:37

hi moffit, I'm ten dpo as well! I. feel very tired n vague today..did the ever so classy pulling out in front of a car. nothing bad happened but u know when u beat yourself up!!!
of topic now! ERM..yes, brown spotting so not too confident. will test on Fri I think..x

smorgasborgen · 10/02/2014 16:38

rambini I feel your pain. brown cm started t.WO days ago and felt really sad ever since. we honestly gave it out all this month so it seems t hurt more! xConfused

MuddyLady · 10/02/2014 16:46

Hello ladies! I'm new here, and new to TTC too.

How does this bus work then - do I get off the bus if AF comes? Who's driving? Can I talk about nipples?

sazzlehopes · 10/02/2014 16:48

Oh no to those that think af is on her way...
Mama - hope reflexology goes well tonight - be interesting to hear your thoughts on it. Hope you had a nice weekend away too x

EnglishGirlAbroad · 10/02/2014 17:02

Hi muddy!!! Welcome to the buses!
Firstly we're all nosey and like to know your stats : What number child you're TTC, what number cycle you're on and when you're BFP is due. If AF gets you, you hop off and onto the next bus, but we hope that doesn't happen.
No idea who the driver is...! HahaN phantom TTC bus driver!
And yes, talk about nipples, cervical mucus and DTD to your hearts content. No prudes here!!Wink

MuddyLady · 10/02/2014 17:26

Hi EnglishGirl, thanks for the intro! Thanks
Well me and the DH have only recently decided that we would like to become parents, so this is TTC #1. A very new and strange concept after half a lifetime trying to avoid getting preggers.
I used sympto-thermal charting as a form of natural family planning, so at least have a handle on the old ovulation predictions. Today I am 13 DPO and would expect AF by valentines... let's see how this goes!

smorgasborgen · 10/02/2014 17:44

you'll already be one step ahead then!!
same as me in a way. married a year and a bit and decided t just go for it..no right time and all that!!!
seven cycles in and one mc at seven weeks, two months ago. fingers crossed for us all! x

spinningirl10 · 10/02/2014 17:48

Thanks Sazzle....will enjoy the break and some sunshine!

Mama....will be checking in to hear about your reflexology! I have emailed a lady and she replied but I think I'll leave speaking to her until after hols. If its this weekend you're going away have a lovely time Grin

mama31 · 10/02/2014 18:01

Hi sazzle and spinning! I'm home and had a lovely time away thanks!! :) just what we needed was perfect! Reflexology tonight at 9pm, very late appointment but guess I can just shimmy on in to bed all relaxed after it! Quite looking forward to it and she is going to do some reiki as well, not that I even know what that is but I'm up for anything! I will let you know how it goes! Thankyou for your thoughts I hope you are both keeping well??

spinningirl10 · 10/02/2014 18:52

Mama....so pleased you enjoyed your weekend, always nice to get awayGrin

Haha I wonder if reflexologists are crazy busy now thanks to MN Grin
If I had a 9pm appointment I'd be asleep on her couch!!

mama31 · 10/02/2014 19:09

Yes spinning I'm thinking that's a possibility....i joked to DH that I may wake up in the morning at her house!!! she must be busy as that was only time she could fit me in!

Hoping it's worth it! Spinning where are you in your cycle? I've hardly had time to catch up with everyone's news!

JonesSchool · 10/02/2014 19:17

Right! This is scary stuff! Had a BFP today, just now! I had a very faint, squint and you can just see it on Friday and Saturday, but today is def darker!
The issue! This morning I had very light brown spotting, throughout the day it has hardy amounted to much, just there when I wipe and very light in colour!
So not running tonight, sitting in the sofa and not moving much!
Any advice and help would be much appreciated x

missmrsmummy · 10/02/2014 19:34

Hi JonesSchool! Ok first, congratulations on your BFP! Second, hopefully the spotting is implantation bleeding - how many dpo are you? It's common between 10-14 dpo. Fx that's what it is!

Moffit · 10/02/2014 19:35

Congratulations Jones!! How many DPO are you?
I would suggest just taking it easy for a couple of days, but lots of people get spotting/bleeding at the beginning of pregnancy and go on to have healthy pregnancies and babys. Brown is fine, but if it turns bright red or there's a lot of it call your local EPU.

JonesSchool · 10/02/2014 19:41

15dpo, AF is due today or tomorrow! No cramping or anything, just very light brown spotting. Think I am spending too much time on google

missmrsmummy · 10/02/2014 19:48

Hopefully ib then if no other symptoms! Fx!

RhiBee29 · 10/02/2014 19:51

Woohoo, positive opk...is it bedtime yet? Wink

EnglishGirlAbroad · 10/02/2014 19:52

Jones, firstly congratulations!! I would echo what others have said. Many people have spotting, some all the way through and go on to have healthy babies so don't go thinking the worse yet. Just keep and eye on it and if it worsens call the epu. Unfortunately if its not sticky there's nothing you can do to prevent it. Try to relax for now and don't visit Dr Google. FX for you Smile

JonesSchool · 10/02/2014 20:36

Thank you all so much, your advice is very much appreciated xx

KittyVonCatsington · 10/02/2014 20:40

Happy Birthday MrsB! Cake Have a lovely evening and hope you get spoilt!

missmrsmummy -not sure what to say about your random 'spot'-not even sure what to call it! Our bodies really are very strange at times...

Hopefully implantation bleeding Jones let us know how you get on!

I officially hate ovulation pains. Been hurting so much on my left side for a few days now-really uncomfortable. Sad

missmrsmummy · 10/02/2014 20:53

Oh no Kitty hope it passes soon! At least you know your body is working, even if it has a painful way of letting you know!

I still have no idea about my random spot! Nothing has appeared since Hmm

Thought we were done with DTD for this cycle but DH has come home suggesting one more sesh just to make sure! He says the more lottery tickets you buy, the more chance you have of winning the big one. Lol. Grin
