Thought I'd take the plunge and begin new thread to follow on from this one thread

All welcome.

yellow - try and wait out as long as possible...sometimes it takes a while before a BFP is ready to appear and the longer you wait, if you are PG, the darker the line will be which is always v satisfying. Also, if AF does come you haven't wasted x amount of pounds on a test and can buy a few drinks, go to cinema etc instead!! Like you, I hate the digital ones. I like clear blue's plus/minus ones. Fingers crossed the witch stays away....

Bugger, slight bright red spotting when went to loo (after a rummage). Shit shit shit.

iggy ho, I hope you're all wrapped up on the sofa eating a big tub of ice cream right now.

jools no slaps forthcoming, can't slap you as my fingers crossed! that's a good, good sign.

yellow I'll say it - STOP RUMMAGING!!! you'll end up hurting yourself!!

Now, I'm off to have some fish pie.
Wasabi, hope you're feeling better!

OMG, iggy that's supposed to say HON.
What the hell??? My attention span is shite these days... I can't even spell a three letter word.

You are right broodzilla!
Still think it's over though.
LOL at ho/hon error.

Still thinking of you Iggy ...

Broodzilla I need no encouragement to symptom spot Still have creamy CM, amd windy , my hair has gone all ratty and horrible (which happened last time) and my abdomen feels - well just strange really - as if something is "different"

probably the ramblings of a mad woman, but keeping fingers crossed is good

Yellow - am hoping your spotting is implantation

broodzilla called me a ho

I have no news at all.... No more spotting - nothing... Guess am going to have to wait till tues for scan and see what has happened. Incidentally - yesterday was exactly 8 weeks (so when AF would have been due). But that is me clinging to small amounts of hope.. I think is all over - just need scan to confirm.

Iggy that is strange, and at least give you a glimmer of hope .... I had a red bleed before bed on a Tuesday evening, was seeing more and more brown the next morning and it all kicked off at around 2pm that day - if you've gone that long without more, then who knows ......

I woke up this morning convinced I'd had an implantation bleed !!! I have a memory of going to the loo in the middle of the night and seeing blood when I wiped . Well, I know I did get up for a wee but really can't decide if I saw anything or I dreamed that bit ! Nothing this morning so I'll assume it was a dream and hope it was a prophesy

broodzilla takes a deep breath and concentrates on her spellingiggy, that sounds good to me! Some people do bleed around the time AF would have paid a visit. Having said that, I think it's appalling that you have to wait til Tuesday - does your local hospital not have an Early Pregnancy Unit where you could go for an unscheduled scan?
Keep thinking about that heartbeat. That link jools had said that once a heartbeat has been seen the risk of a miscarriage is only 3-5%. And their only concern was that the bean was small, right? Everything else looked fine didn't it? (I'm an eternal optimist when it comes to other people...)

jools I think your unconscious might know something you don't

yellow any news?

I woke up this morning with hands that looked like sausages so I very reluctantly removed my darling seabands. I'm dreading the gagging starting up again.
I felt pretty rotten yesterday with the seabands, so can't really face being without them...

broodzilla good spelling

No the other concern was that the heartbeat was too slow. The Dr had said that there was only a small chance it would be ok given size and heartbeat...

They have said I can go in before tues if bleeding gets bad - but if is only spotting to wait until Tues. xx

jools I have everything crossed for you this month xx

Sorry Broodzilla but I just snorted some of my lunch because I was sniggering at your ho/hon type. Very funny. I did the same myself last week on MN somewhere - used the communting instead of commuting. To be fair, communting really does sum it up nicely. Hope you aren't feeling too queasy. I know it can be a rought time.

Iggy how are you today my lovely? I hope all that virtual choc has been going down well. We are fervently hoping that the spotting stopping is a good sign. I hope the weekend goes quickly for you.

Yellow - if you are pg then rummaging will knock your cervix which can quite possibly make it bleed (I type as someone who bled on and off through her entire 2nd trimester of pregnancy with ds - even doing pelvic floors could trigger a bleed). It isn't a reliable indicator so please try and stop in case you hurt yourself. As for pg tests I get what you say about the starkness of digital tests but I bet any money that if you get a BFP with a clearblue + or - test or similar you will immediately go out and get a digital "just to make sure." The longer you wait the less ambiguous a result it will be but you know that don't you?

Well I'm feeling much better today thank god. Feel almost human again. Still got a bit of a sore throat but not a patch on last few days. Just in time for the weekend too. Hooray!

wasabi am actually ok (although is the old egyptian river thang i think - sorry am in silly mood, please let someone understand that!)

The virual choc is going down nicely with the packet of mini eggs i just polished off..

Desperate for Tues whilst also dreading it...

Glad you feeling bit better!

Glad you are feeling better Wasabi

Iggy - I don't understand the egyptian river thing, but then again I AM very slow on the uptake !!

I will wait and see if someone else gets it... do you know the name of any rivers in egypt tho? I only know one... I think I have become slightly hysterical - so apologies

Just got it. You are in de-Nile!

I am full of hope for you however.

I am writing this at the busstop from my blackberry. I feel like I have come up but obviously can't check here! Temp still above cover line today but didn't pee in pot as trying to leave it. Do have clear blue early test in my bag though so if no bleeding when I get home will use. And if no bleeding then no rummaging I promise. But am sure I've come on...

Come on not come up. Will I ever get used to this predictive text?

so am home now - went to loo and the teeniest of teeniest amount of spotting (without rummaging!) but feels physically like I have started period so probably have. Today is 14dpo but usually start spotting 10/11dpo or before so technically period is not late I guess, just usually it is early. Anyway I did test (both internet and clear blue) and not a bean (or a line) on them - in fact even if I hold up to the light and squint there's not even an evaporation line that I can pretend is a real line.

Well, if it is AF, there is a bright side - you've now got a perfect luteal phase with no prior spotting - could be a good omen for next cycle

well done yellow

So sorry about the BFN on the tests

thanks for being full of hope for me - is appreciated. Am feeling bit odd today... strange feelings in tummy... not cramps.

Ok - leaving for the day soon.. have sadly spent most of the day on MN - is good distraction. Can't concentrate on work at all at the mo

Am hardly ever on at w/end - so I hope you all have a good one - and thanks all of you for your support xx

Definitely af but you are right that it's good for cycle to be back to 14 days luteal phase (it used to be) and starting with light flow not days of spotting. Funnily enough this month I had no acupuncture and unless it's affect was delayed then cycle has righted itself without it. (I say righted but still a 5 week cycle this tme though am pleased about lp).

Will be thinking of you this weekend iggy

Xx

I know that it's difficult, but try and have a nice weekend, if possible TOGETHER with your dp. It's so easy (I know too well ) to stay in your own world while you try and deal with your own feelings. Please try and talk about what's happening now and might/might not happen next week. Doing it now is so important.

Hear endeth the lesson !

Have been out in the garden, enjoying the sunshine and doing a lot of weeding - I started feeling REALLY dizzy every time I got up - came very close to fainting, so came in to hit the sofa - am hoping this is a PG symptom and not just low blood sugar !

Was really really hot in bed last night too

I hope that we're talking temperature here Jools rather than simply showing off !

Happy weekend everyone. Sounds positive jools. Thinking of you iggy.

So af still not properly here at 15dpo. Yesterday spotting was pink (pale pink and very watery). Today it's an old brown colour and some brown stringy bits but only Shan I wipe. No need for pads at all yet so not counted as cd1 yet. Temp also still .2 above coverline. What do you reckon? Just a slow starting period? Did Internet cheapie this pm and possibly evaporation line, possibly faintest of faint lines, possibly nothing.

Have also picked two fights with dh today but all ok now. Big dinner with friends tonight but going to have one glass of wine max.
