A thread for the older ttc'er. Join us in the chicken coop for support, advice or just somewhere to rant.

Here's the old thread for those wanting to do serious lurking:

Well, to be honest annie, it sounds like it at least partially was his fault, so I don't blame you for raising it. Then again, they do say that forgiving and Drawing a Line and Leaving It are integral parts of happy relationships, don't they? (grr).

Myself, I guess I'm lucky that DP doesn't raise my decision to terminate an apparently healthy pregnancy 2 years ago just after we'd met (although I suspect he harbours unspoken resentment).....Oh, hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it? Sad

I'm letting go... it's wonderful! Floating like a butterfly here! Off to catch the plane Smile! thank you again. Keep going after temp rise!

Tranquilitybaby · 13/09/2014 10:25

Well still no AF here just a v v feint but of brown when wiping, although officially due tomorrow. No cramping or anything now. We're away in sunny Norfolk at the moment so no tests which I think is a good thing, although it's still on my mind I lot. I would've thought of there was a chance, then there might've been a feint line at 12dpo no?

winky it's not over til it's over - you never she may not show. Good luck.

Good luck for Monday Annie

Ooh stubborn here's hoping for you! X

Hmm. No sign yet of AF. Due today. Usually first thing in morning. Hmmm. Won't get my hopes up.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 13/09/2014 21:50

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, Winky. When will you test.
How's everyone else.

Tranquilitybaby · 13/09/2014 23:56

Turned to bright red blood now. I'm out Sad

Good luck girls xx

AnnieHoo · 14/09/2014 10:07

Sorry to hear that Tranquility. It's hard all this Sad. Xx

Tranquilitybaby · 14/09/2014 10:53

Wtf is going on with me?! Last night was a bright red (watery though tmi) wipe, today, nothing again! Urgh

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 14/09/2014 10:53

Aww sorry tranq.

winkywinkola · 14/09/2014 10:55

Tranquility, are you certain it's not implantation bleeding?

With my dd, I got quite a lot of red blood over two days.

Can you do a test at all?

stubbornstains · 14/09/2014 11:41

I sometimes get a bit of "on-and-off" bleeding at the start of a period tranq. I always tell myself "24 hours- I'm not going to get my hopes up unless it stops completely for 24 hours". Might help to stop you going totally mad?

(and thanks for the hugs- sending them right back atcha!xx)

Tranquilitybaby · 14/09/2014 17:05

I feel crampy but it's only brown or dark red when I wipe after a wee. It's horrible as it reminds me of when I had my ectopic, although so far no AF. I'll test in the morning but really don't think I am. This has been happening for three days now. X

winkywinkola · 14/09/2014 18:45

So it's not like your usual period, Tranquility?

BingoBonkers · 14/09/2014 22:03

AF has turned up. Early. So disappointed. Not expected til Wednesday. I'm never early.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 14/09/2014 23:20

Sorry the witch showed up, bingo. Makes it worse when she turns up early doesn't it

BingoBonkers · 15/09/2014 08:29

Thanks ghost. To add insult to injury she's kept me up most of the night with severe cramp. Worse than usual.

winkywinkola · 15/09/2014 11:46

I'm two days late. I'm not going to test this happened once before earlier this year when I was a week late and was convinced I was pg only to find I wasn't. I still feel horribly pmt and crampy so just going to forget about it and enjoy the day. If that's possible with constant cramps!

Tranquilitybaby · 15/09/2014 13:33

Aww bingo that's so rubbish :9( xx

Ooh sounds promising winky

Well as for me, no AF, bfn, the odd brown wipe but nothing on a liner. Not sure if I should make an appointment with my go, hate going though.

patch77 · 15/09/2014 22:58

Waiting for af can feel it brewing. Then I can book my hsg test. Dreading it

Tranquilitybaby · 16/09/2014 09:32

Anything yet patch?

I'm going to the doctors at lunchtime. Brown /dark red spotting only when I wipe for over 4 days, something's not right.

stubbornstains · 16/09/2014 10:47

Good luck tranquility, that must be very upsetting and confusing for you.

annie, did you have your scan at the IVF clinic yesterday? How did it go?

How are the recently diffed? Gingerbread and inshock, is all going well?

All I have to report is awful, killer PMT. I gave up the agnus castus several months ago, just to observe what my cycles were doing without taking anything, but I'm going to start taking it again now, as I think it really helped my PMT (quite slow acting though).

Tranquilitybaby · 16/09/2014 11:39

Girls help!

Wiping dark blood but just got this.
