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....

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

Mimilicious013 · 09/03/2016 11:28

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.

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!!

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

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!

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!

Mimilicious013 · 10/03/2016 18:13

DrMum83 · 10/03/2016 20:00

Hey, yay! Everyone is coming back!
mrsminty it may be implantation? I had 3 days brown spotting on wiping only and then a bfp last week!! Fx'd, when are you gonna start testing?

mimi I've got a good feeling for you this month!! Fx'd. How long are your cycles?

Hope ohno is ok

OP posts:
iwillbemrsminty · 10/03/2016 22:19

Hi to all who have returned after a few days off! dr eeeek fx it is! How long after your spotting did u get your bfp? Should I wait til nearer when af is due next week to test do you think? If I can that is! Confused

mimi thank you. Happy dtd for you! Grin

Blink1982 · 10/03/2016 23:20

I had it put in at the Dr's three years ago but they don't do it now so I had to go to family planning. The times they gave me were for a walk in which would mean waiting upto six hours.. with a three year old 😮 I said I needed to book an afternoon appointment. They gave me the 24th of march... I booked this in january. Certainly won't be getting the coil again. Feel like they are in charge of my choices.

Mimilicious013 · 11/03/2016 11:26

Thanks drmum holding onto your feeling.

How is everyone today and what 's up for Friday?

iwillbemrsminty · 11/03/2016 12:37

Hi Blink and Mimi, are we the only ones left on here now Dr has her BFP, once again big congrats!! And how weird that her friend is just one day ahead of her! I'm on CD23 and 8DPO, had very very tiny bit of brown spotting so far today (again only on wiping) but am feeling kind of strange. Not ill as in I can't put my finger on anything particular, just strange!

Mimilicious013 · 11/03/2016 13:34

Another 4-5days to your bfp minty fx hun fx

iwillbemrsminty · 11/03/2016 14:27

Need to hold of POAS as long as possible, I hate that first sight of the BFN! Mimi get pouncing on your dh Grin

DrMum83 · 11/03/2016 21:41

I'm still hanging around if that's ok? I hate jumping into other threads... I get a bit shy Blush

mrs minty - I spotted from dpo 8-10 and then got bfp on 11th day and spotting disappeared... Maybe this is it for you??? You could test from next tues/wed??

blink that's ridiculous..! Hope the next few weeks go quickly so you can start dtd

mimi - hope you're still having lots of sex! Are you cd11ish??

I'm ok, lots of white discharge, I've booked a private scan for 3 weeks time - had a mmc a few years ago so I get so worried...

Hie ladies

Hope u are having a great weekend. Dh has gone to the farm so no dtd haha. Just hanging around with the kids.

DrMum83 · 12/03/2016 20:10

Hey

Having a chilled out one this weekend. Went to get my DD her first pair of shoes today at Clark's. She had a proper tantrum and wouldn't let the woman near her...! Finally managed to distract her to get her size. She's such a madam these days!!
Hope you're all good - mimi - can you pounce on DH post farm visit?!

iwillbemrsminty · 13/03/2016 12:10

Afternoon ladies. Hope all is well with you. Just popping to update. So something is now happening, am I'm a bit Confused. Blood mixed with brown last night and more this morning, but only on wiping but there seems to be small (sorry tmi) bits in it. AF not due til Friday, what to think? I did poas this morning with an internet cheapie stick and bfn. Although would normally still be too early for bfn anyway id have thought. What are your thoughts? I have had no pains at all and no pre af symptoms like usual, I always get a bad head when she's due and pains. It's not looking good isn't it? Sad

iwillbemrsminty · 13/03/2016 12:10

*bfp I meant.

DrMum83 · 13/03/2016 12:54

Hi minty
I was the same - brown blood for 3 days, quite heavy day 2 - every time I wiped and small stringy bits in it. It never turned pink/red though. I don't think you should feel out yet! Have you ever bled at this point in your cycle before? Or ever had a short cycle? It just seems too much of a coincidence if your periods are always regular and now you're ttc you get this?!
Also, I've decided Internet cheapies are shit. I was barely getting anything on them until 4 days late, where as the FRER and CB was obviously positive.
Could you try an OPK? If this is positive it points towards a potential bfp too... Mine was positive just before my missed period.... I don't want to get your hopes up but going on my experience, you're not out by a long shot!!

OP posts:
iwillbemrsminty · 13/03/2016 13:25

Thanks drmum that's really reassuring. No have never bled this early in cycle nor had irregular AFs, always 28/29 days. I think I'm thinking the worst because it's not just brown and going on for the 6th day now, although still intermittent. Which is odd as even my periods never last that long. 4 days, maximum 5! And I have no pains. I shall sit with it and see what happens. Will defo look into getting some OPKs too, have yet to try them. And whilst I'm out I'll get some FRERs too. No more internet shities! Thanks for the reassurance dr. I hope you're right! Hope you're going ok, are you suffering with any sickness yet? glad your DD finally let the shoe lady measure her! They're good in Clarks aren't they, first shoes Smile my mum stil has my first pair, lovely pair of tiny navy patent tbar Clarks specials!

Blink1982 · 13/03/2016 20:06

Af arrived. This means 14/16 days til I'm coilless and fertile wooo

DrMum83 · 14/03/2016 21:18

minty - how are things? Any more symptoms?
I'm 5 weeks tomorrow but aside from eating loads, not really any symptoms. Hoping it's just a bit early!

blink - not long now! You are one patient woman!

OP posts:
iwillbemrsminty · 15/03/2016 09:59

Hi dr I think whatever it was has turned into AF Sad been bleeding like a normal AF since Sunday afternoon although I haven't had any other usual AF symptoms like cramps but I wasn't meant to be due on til 18th, making the last cycle 25 days. Still rather Confused! But I did test just in case (with FRER) and it was still bfn. Oh well, onto cycle 3 I go... oh and I have ordered some OPKs. Eeek so envious, 5 weeks Grin

DrMum83 · 15/03/2016 10:59

Sad sorry minty - how weird that you had a short cycle out of the blue... Annoying.

I hope cycle 3 is the lucky one for you.
