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?

Thank you girls for all you input- as you can see she finally got me this morning, apart from being in intense pain (she's heavier than usual) im so relieved! I knew I wasnt PG and was getting very fed up with all the AF pain. Thank you very much for the support! I guess I will not panic if this happens again! xx
