Spotting ?

Hello everyone :) I've been searching high and low for an answer to my question on the net, but noone really seems to know what they're talking about! lol So, I was hoping with all the experiences that some of the "veterans" here ;) have shared that perhaps I'll get lucky! lol Here it goes:

I had my LMP on October 8th-10th. Normal 2-3 day-er for me. The last time I BD'd was on the 16th...........then starting on the 24th I had light brown discharge when I used the restroom (sorry TMI)........which was quickly followed by light pink with a lot of CM. I guess what I'm trying to figure out is the whole "implantation" bleeding, and when it occurs. Like, how soon after you O does it usually happen? The discharge ended the following day, (25th), so I didn't really think too much of it. But now, I have to admit, the thought is makin me wonder! :)Not to mention the dizzy spells I've had for the past 4 days! haha

Thanks for your input and experiences............Here's to hoping for a long stay around here :) Baby dust, and BFP vibes to all of you wishin on the motherly star!

That sounds like it very well could be implantation bleeding...have you tested? How is your CM now? With many pgs it stays creamy and it feels like more than usual. Have you tried any tests yet? How long are your cycles usually? I bet you were hoping for more answers and less questions, huh? LOL Also, do you chart your temps at all? Temps usually stay high when pg happens. If you aren't charting, you take your temp when you first wake up in the am, after at least 3 consecutive hours of sleep, and around the same time every day if you continue to do it. Yikes, this is a lot isn't it?? LOL Well, baby dust to you, good luck and keep us posted!!!

I haven't tested yet..........only cuz I don't wanna do it too soon and disappoint myself over nothing! lol So I figured I'd wait :)
I haven't been charting my cycles, and wish that I had! Then it'd be a lot easier to figure out about O'ing. Hind sight's 20/20! lol
As far as my CM goes, I have noticed a change in it the past week or so. It's heavier almost and sometimes I actually think I've "wet" myself but it's the CM (sorry if TMI lol, but it's the truth lol). Since the beginning of this year my cycles have been pretty regular..........just missed once, and it came 6 days later, so really not too bad I don't think. I thought you had to wait until your missed period to get a really accurate reading from an HPT? Any thoughts?
Thanx for the baby dust, and I'm sending some to everyone here that could use an extra dose! :) Here's to gettn those BFP's! I know I hope I'll get mine! ;)
Best Wishes

When I was pg with my ds, I got a BFP four days before my missed period, or 10dpo with a First Response. I've heard good things about the Dollar Tree tests, but I didn't start using those until this past cycle and was negative so personally don't know how sensitive they are, though they compare with e.p.t. CM starts to get dry closer to AF usually, so maybe that's a good sign for you! Hope this turns out the way you want it to!! Keep us posted!! keeping my fingers crossed and sprinkling baby dust...

Alright, didn't know about the whole testing early thing :) Thanx ssoo much for the input! I really appreciate it! Yeah, I'm hoping that this is a "good thing" for me too ;)
I will definetly keep everyone posted as to how everything goes...........I've been hearing quite a bit about those $ tests too. Most of the things I've heard have been pretty good, so maybe that's the nice and cheap route for me to go! lol
Best Wishes to you, and thanx so much for all your help :) May I ask, are you currently TTC? If so, for how long leslie?
Keepn my fingers crossed:

I'll be trying the dollar Tree tests this time around again, I'm sure. Just doesn't cost much to feed into the obsession....LOL Yes, I am TTC, but the past 3-4 months we've been trying has been more half-a**ed but we got serious this month. LOL That's when I went back to charting because I haven't been o'ing when I thought I would have been these past months. My cycles just aren't like clockwork anymore, not sure if it was since I had ds or since my m/c last December, plus I just stopped breastfeeding him in August but charting this time we had good timing finally. So I'm in the 2ww too--should get AF (hopefully not) around 8-10. I'll probably test on the 8th or 9th with FMU because dh leaves to go back to work on the 9th and I'll want him to know one way or the other. I'll be checking in to see how your testing goes!!! Good luck!!

lol......I know that feeling! I think I'll be clearing off their shelves in 2 weeks! lol :)
My cycles were never on time ever since I can remember. My OB finally told me (2 yrs ago when I was TTC with xhubby) that I wasn't ovulating, and I had a mild case of PCOS. But ever since the beginning of this year (I got divorced) my cycles have been pretty much on time. Funny, huh? lol Needless to say, I've been with my current hunnie bout 8 months now, and we're hoping to get pregnant :)
I'm sorry to hear bout your m/c...........can't imagine how hard that must have been. But i'm happy to hear that you're now "actively trying" lol.....and more importantly taking it "seriously"! lol That's the fun of it isn't it though? The BDing is the fun part, and the 2ww is h*ll!!!! lol But I guess that's just how it goes :)
Keepn my fingers crossed for your BFP.........and I'll be your testing partner around the same time! :) So just remember, you're not alone.
**crossing her toes too for extra luck**

Funny how bad relationships can affect you in so many different ways that you don't know how bad they are until you're out of them! I couldn't believe how much better I felt physically after I divorced my first husband too!!
I keep telling myself that I'm going to wait. I'm going to wait. I'm going to wait. I finally got crosshairs on fertilityfriend, so it shows I ovulated when I thought I did. The weird thing is, my bbs are still tender from last AF, so I guess unless they get really tender, this time I'm not going to get all excited. heehee That would be great to be testing buddies!! Or is that obsessing buddies? Guess I'll have to sneak over there to the Dollar Tree when I run out to get groceries sometime without DH so he can't roll his eyes and laugh at me...LOL

It is true isn't it? lol..........scary how much we have in common isn't it? lol :) I've had mild cramping since the "discharge" incident, and I'm still having those dizzy spells. My stomach is been kinda iffy lately, but nothing too concrete. I'm thinking maybe it's the weather or something.......cuz if I don't, then I might get my hopes up.
Obsessing buddies lol.....I like that. Has a nice, true ring to it :) hehe
What's the weirdest though that I've noticed, it that if I bend over a lot my lower abdomen gets kinda' tense for a minute.....kinda' like it's making me aware that that kinda' hurts! lol I don't know what that's all about, seeing as I've never been pregnant before. **shruggs shoulders**
I know what you mean bout gettn all excited and then being let down. I go through it a lot too, but only because I've always wanted children........and the fact that I seem to be "up and running" again, and wanna take advantage of it! lol :)
Hopefully we'll get the results we're hopin for.........hopefully my cards have been right! Keepn my fingers crossed

That is a little scary! LOL I got dizzy spells when I was pg with my ds too, so I'm really optimistic for you! I want to say cautiously optimistic, since really that's the right thing to say so I don't get your hopes up if it isn't what we both think it is, but the truth is that I guess in wanting to be pg so badly, I've already given you a bfp in my mind!! Yikes! LOL So what kind of weather makes your stomach iffy? ;) Have you mentioned whether you have any sensitivity to smells? I can't remember..
Just got back from a weekend with my SIL where I got to play with my 13 month old niece and that was like a teaser!! LOL
So have you been scouring the net looking up obscure pg symptoms? That's been an obsession of mine before, too, though I think this time I'm sticking to a POAS obsession, funnel all of my energy into it. I'm getting a racecar bed for my almost 3 yo tomorrow and can focus on that and Halloween the next few days, and cleaning out his room to put the bed in there--he sleeps in our bed, and when I do get pg again I can't imagine having him sleep with us (along with 2 of our 3 dogs) and being comfortable. Anyway, going to go finish unpacking. I wish it was the 5th!! :D *baby dust*

Thanx for the mental BFP ;) I've been seeing "2lines" in my sleep! lol But, again, I'm hoping that it is what I want it to be.........hoping it's my turn :) My bf is due Jan. 17th, right around the corner, and I've been spendin a lot of time with my 6 month old neice..........she's absolutely gorgeous and so sweet :) So I feel the "teaser" pain too......from the pregnancy angle as well as the baby angle! Haha, lucky me huh? But it's just reminding me all the more so, to look at my friend, and then see my neice, exactly why I want to be a mother, and how badly I want to be :) Perhaps it's all in the grander scheme of things! lol Don't know ;)
Hmmm.....sensitivity to smells......(thinkin back)......I was making my other half a cheese omlet, and right as the egg started to cook the smell of it made me gauge! I HAD to open the window next to the sink to get non-egg air!!! lol I noticed my nausea is an off and on thing......worse in the mornings, and then here and there during the day, but then comes back with a vengeance at night! lol I'm hoping it's what I think it is ;) We'll see.
I find myself sitting behind mr wonderful tapping my foot, waiting ever so not patiently so he'll get off the net!!!! lol I wanna learn more, and find out.....this waiting is driving me insane! lol The what if scenarios are endless!! :) Feel like I'm goin nuts. hehe
Lol @ the thought of all of you in one bed! haha.......pregnant, 3 year old, dogs, and hubby......someone would end up on the floor! lol Keep focusing on what's going on right now, like you said. Perhaps it'll allow you to have 3 seconds a day without wondering if it'll happen this month or not! lol I know that's all I'm thinkin about. I just realized how long this is lol so I'm gonna close! Otherwise they'll need to give me my own site!
BFP Vibes
