MTW Took me sooo long to post this morning that I missed your message Congratulations Sooooo happy 4u.

Girls I need a bit of help. I updated the list this morning...TMI: Woke up and had a wee, wiped and a fair bit of red blood. Put a tampon in (8am) and about 12 went to the loo and changed tampon and there was a tiny bit of brown...had another wee, wiped and nothing??? I'm on day 28 and usual cycle is 28-35 days...what is going on? I'm a bit worried...

mibbes · 03/02/2008 16:17

Kate I am well up for coming to bash some NHS ears on Tue - just let me know when I'm required . I'll be thinking of you CB. xx
Emmsy it is great to hear you in such good spirits after last weeks low. I was planning to start the opks tomorrow but after your post I saved up wee and did one this afternoon, it was -ve but at least I know. Am really hoping get some early OV action as couldn't bear another long cycle. Having said that now that I am temping at least I feel more like I know what is happening - if I had been temping last month I wouldn't have got my hopes up like that as I'd have known it was a mega late ov.
MTW I posted for you on 2ww but another HUGE CONGRATS
never you are not sad waiting for CM to become more fertile - I actually look forward to going to the loo to check on CM progress and temping has made me really good at getting up on time as am always itching to see today's temp
clouisewood sorry TEW got you, but like you say at least she didn't tease you by staying away.
ElveId where are you CB ? Any signs of OV for you yet ? We are heading into the fun part !

mibbes · 03/02/2008 16:23

clouisewood for some reason I didn't read your last post , anyway it could be an implantation bleed, do you know how many days post ov you are ? It may also just be pre-AF spotting, do you usually have this ? Hope it is the former !
grinningbee lovely to 'see' you, sorry AF got you .

clouisewood · 03/02/2008 16:30

I don't know when I OV because I haven't been temping.
I don't normally get spotting...would I have bled a bit more by now? Also the blood was q red so not sure if that would be an implantation bleed. Wonder if it's too early to test...I felt relieved that I wouldn't have to keeping 'wondering' this month and now i'm worse than ever. Don't feel anything though, boobs not sore, no period pain etc.

mibbes · 03/02/2008 16:37

clouisewood well MTW is further proof that no symtpoms are PG symptoms so the fact that you have none could be a sign !
An implantation bleed can be about 8-12 days post ov, so would often happen just before AF due - which is true in your case. It may be too early to test but a CB or First Response test would be your best bet as these can detect PG 4 days prior to AF due date (best to use FMU). Maybe wait until tomorrow and see if still no blood then test ..?

fruitloop79 · 03/02/2008 16:54

Hi girls

Well done MTW congratulations!

clouisewood · 03/02/2008 17:13

Mibbles Thanks for advice. Tempted to test tomorrow; i've got so much work to do because i'm teaching full time for the next 5 weeks and I know that if I get BFN then i'll keep wondering and if I get BFP then I won't be able to focus anyway lol!! It's a no win situation haha. AF will prob return forcefully tomorrow when I can't leave the classroom.
Thanks again. X

piper1984 · 03/02/2008 18:34

Hi Ladies,

Just wondering if anyone else is getting syptoms on clomid, i have been so narky today, i feel so sorry for DH and have to keep apologiseing for snappyness! even my little doggie has stayed outside all day, he must sense my mood!!! also very achy as well

MTW - yaaaaaaay! Huge congratulations! here's to very sticky beans

clouisewood, I had an implant bleed, and it was much redder and heavier than I thought an implant bleed would be, so sounds a bit like yours? Not just bits of spotting but a kind of streak (sorry ) which then went, followed by a teeny bit of brown over the next day. Crossing my fingers for you x

clouisewood · 03/02/2008 19:55

Thanks Noam I think I might do a test tomorrow.

Spink It was very red and streaky and only there when I this morning and then a teeny tiny weeny amount of brown. Maybe it's related to annovulatory cycle last month or weird cycle but could well be an implantation bleed...still no sore boobs or anything though but i'm pretty convinced that I didn't have that with DD1.

Hope everyone is ok this evening!

clouisewood · 03/02/2008 19:58

Spink when did you get your implatation bleed?

07mumstheword · 03/02/2008 20:03

Thanks everyone for your congrats. I still can't believe it.

Kate I mean't the lines on the test stick of my Persona monitor. I was throwing it in the bin when I noticed two similar looking lines where as a couple of days ago there was only one line. The light was still green (meaning I could have sex if I didn't want to conceive).

Fruitloop ONE more sleep All the very best for your scan tomorrow, let us know how you get on.

clouisewood · 03/02/2008 20:06

fruitloop Bet you can't wait till tomorrow. Be lovely if there was a little fruitloop bean hiding away! Best of luck. X

MrsEi25 · 03/02/2008 21:23

how is everyone else??
clouise good luck with testing tomorrow i am seriously tempted to test ti while away the 2ww but i dont think i am too far PO so it would be BFN anyway its a bit sad i know but hey...thats me
xx ei xx

mibbes · 03/02/2008 23:00

FL all the best with scan, look forward to hearing how you get on
never we can be honorary cycle buddies >>
clouise good luck with testing - I have everything crossed for you
MrsEi step away from the HPT until at least 10dpo !!!

twinklingfairy · 03/02/2008 23:16

I know how you feel mrsei I feel the same. I have run out of opk's and did not get my +ve CD17 is norm when I ov and I do have a tender tum, but not the normal level of pain I had been getting before ov
When I was running my bath tonight, I had a funny sensation go through my (.)(.)s, like the milk coming in, so I gave it a go I got some creamy stuff, much darker than the milk DD used to get, colostrum, maybe?
I have also had zero EWCM which is unusual for me.
So I am convincing myself that, by some freaky luck, that I did ov on CD8 and that DH and I managed (even though he didn't ahem,.. peak?) You are warned of these things as teenagers though aren't you??
But it is just cos I want to pee on something so a hpt is as good as anything isn't it?? Even better if you foolishly convince yourself that is is possible
No, fairy! You, also, need to step away from the hpt's!!

OOh, musn't forget! Good luck for tommorrow FL and well done MTW please, please, please let it be a sticky one!

ClairePO · 04/02/2008 07:44

MTW COGRATULATIONS!!! wow!

fruitloop79 · 04/02/2008 07:54

Oh god, I'm leaving in 40 mins and I'm not even showered yet

I can't help thinking how devastated I'm going to be when I come out of the hospital I've really got my hopes up for a little beany [stupid emoticon]. If that OPK was right, then I'm only 7DPO! I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up but it's impossible with all this symptom spotting .

Oh well, watch this space ladies, hopefully I'll have some sort of info to bring back to you all whether it's a bubba or not.

Good luck to any testers today

Good luck Fruitloop

Eleveld · 04/02/2008 08:26

Hi Mibbes

Was thinking of you yesterday and thought must send a message today.

I got a positive OPK yesterday. Have actually just posted a question under new thread - quick question re OPKs - perhaps you can help with it?

I hope you get a positive OPK soon - have you tested yet?

sambrads · 04/02/2008 08:53

hi ya fruitloop good luck with your scan please let me know how you get on ????

mumstheword i am so so happy for you this is such a lucky thread

come join uson the october thread

hello ladies

Spink · 04/02/2008 09:25

Fruitloop - thinking of you and hoping for good news of one kind or another

clouisewood - the implant bleed was about a week before AF was due. I've heard from other people tho that it is normally later than that, so people often confuse it with AF starting. Any more signs of AF??

MrsEi25 · 04/02/2008 11:01

hi girls
FL good luck you will be fine
thanks mibbes if i have to be 10DPO the earliest i can test is tomorrow i think i need someone to come and pin me down til next weekend when AF is due DH is like a little devil on my shoulder constantly whispering in an evil voice (wwwaaaaahahaha) i think if things dont happen to plan this month then i am goin to invest in either a thermometer or OPKs to pinpoint my cycle i hate all the guessing but i love the last few days before AF with the am i arent i situation that is before i get the BFN
anywho...hope everyone is ok
clouise did you test?? oh its so exciting!! im sad arent i??
xx ei xx

mibbes · 04/02/2008 11:18

Hi ElveID CB ! Good news on +ve opk - will go and look at your question. I did opk yesterday and -ve, don't really expect it for a few days as usually cycle is 30-35 days. Get bd'ing missus - this is the good bit
never HCB how are you today ? Doing lots of bd'ing ? I hope your SIL has been giving you peace
FL look forward to hearing outcome of the scan - either way let's hope you have some clarity about long cycles at last !
MTW how are you feeling today ? Are you still apprehensive ? What about top tips from you ? Anything different this month to share with us ? This was first month with monitor wasn't it ?...
MrsEi leave the blinkin' HPT alone - you are soo impatient ! There is no point until at least 10dpo and even then it may be too early - control yourself lady !!
clouisewood any more spotting/AF or are you thinking implantation ...?
JollyBear where are you HCB ? Are you far enough on to test yet ? Everything is crossed...
Fairy did you test ?...
