Hi Ladies
Just wondering if anyone can help me out, I have been spotting since last thursday (with a complete dry day on Saturday). Af is due today, im currently 16dpo, and have had several BFN's with extra-sensitive HPT's so im pretty sure im not PG!. This spotting is completely out of the ordinary for me, I never spot like this before AF!. I have had severe AF cramps since thursday, so much so that every time I go to the toilet im 100% convinced AF will be there, but nothing!. The spotting im having is brown streaks in my CM, and it is only when i wipe. I am in alot of AF pain (without AF!) and am truly fed up. Today I woke up thinking AF was here for sure but no, the cramps come and go but no sign of her. I have been ttc for nearly two years so this all feels very unfamiliar and very frustrating, 5 days of AF pain without AF is really wearing me down. The only thing I have done differently this month is started a supplement called "pregnancy Prep" with contains some vitex, Im wondering if this is causing the problem?, Can anyone please help?, any advice would be very very appreciated!
Thanks in advance x

Sophia,
I know what you mean about not being able to keep up with everything. Now I lurk a lot--haven't posted as much in the past few months because I was obsessing WAY too much about everything pregnancy. It has actually helped to get away from the boards a little bit. But the ladies on the +6 months board are great--and they have BTDT, so they can answer all sorts of questions.
I'll bet you can find that book on Amazon. It was a terrific read--I think I will have to check it out from the library again. She is an MD but also spent a while in China, researching Chinese medicine. She talks a lot about accupuncture, certain foods to eat and herbs to take. There are also very many success stories sprinkled throughout the book, which I like. I have not tried accupuncture yet. I did 2 rounds of clomid, and haven't had any testing besides bloodwork. We're kind of at an impasse b/c we need to get DH's SA done and haven't yet. It's stressful, isn't it?
oh now i see yoru thread :) sorry
i spotted toward the end of my LP just out of nowhere and then it kept up, it went away when my doc gave me prog. still donn't know what brought it on.
hugs
