Dreamstar - I think I'm going to have to bookmark that post for inspiration. If that's waffle, it's the most genuinely lovely and uplifting waffle I've ever read! :P
Aw thanks MeganMay. I just hope it helps a little. Sorry to hear you're out Neyite!
Hope you're ok.
Quick question - I'm obviously on my pre-natal vitamins etc. etc. But should himself be on some too?

Hoping for a little advice. I normally have some spotting ( tiny amount) and a little brownish discharge about 3-4 days before my period.
Searching online has me convinced this is a terrible thing and is caused my not enough progesterone, does anyone else have this and managed to get pregnant?
Thanks
It's something I've always wondered too as it happens to me as well, but as Digs said, I don't think it's anything to be too concerned about. I hope!
Me and the hubby are getting the results of all our tests back this afternoon. Not too nervous right now but I'm sure I'll be a wreck going in to the clinic. The ould nerves only tend to kick in with me at the last minute.
In the two week wait now as well, 3DPO according to my fertility friend app. Thought my boobs were getting fierce sore the night before last, as in 1DP0, but when I woke up they were completely back to normal. Last cycle they were killing me from 1DP0 until my period came. Feel like there's a pressure below my belly button too but I'm guessing I'm just being ridiculously focussed on everything this month because of our visits to the clinic.
Anyways, fingers crossed for this afternoon. Hope all the baby making is going well for the rest of you!

Hi everyone. I'm back TTC after a miscarriage at 10 weeks in early March. Got my period back last week, 5 weeks after the D&C so I started the clear blue digital dual hormone ovulation tests 2 days ago. The last pregnancy happened the first month using the ovulation tests so fingers crossed this time again. Got a smiley face this morning so will be getting down to business the next few days
Have been lurking here the last few weeks waiting for my period to return. Sorry to hear you have issues Megan May but at least now you know the areas to focus on/work around.
Good luck everyone else too0 -

Welcome Typer Monkey!
I'm so sorry to hear about the miscarriage. :mad: I had a mc last August so I know how tough it is. One positive as you said is that you got pregnant quickly. That's what is annoying me because it took us 5 months the first time and now we've been actively trying since November but still waiting. :rolleyes:
Still I'm going to try and stay positive - it happened once I'm sure it will happen again.0 -

Hi Dreamstar, thanks for the good wishes. Sorry to hear you had a mc too. It was tough and disappointing but we are feeling good and looking forward.
Have you been monitoring ovulation at all? I really recommend the clear blue digital dual hormone ovulation tests. I was trying for 3 months with no joy and first month using these we were successful. I think I was trying too late in my cycle before. These tests give you a 4 day ovulation 'heads up' (pardon the pun!) so you can be sure to have lots of swimmers ready and waiting for the egg when it's released.
They're expensive but each pack does 2 months and if you have regular cycles I'd say even using it for a few months would give you a good idea of when to ramp up 'relations'!
Hopefully it works for us this month too but if not, I feel more in control using them if that makes sense0 -

I used the ovulation kits a few of the months. The first few times I got the cheapest ones (not digital ) but just couldn't get my head around it. Then last month I got the clearblue ones that give you the 4 high / peak days. I did find these much better but last month for whatever reason didn't work.
So this month I am using them again so fingers crossed. Going to try doing the deed on the morning and evening of my peak day and each day for the three days after. Have been 'at it' every second day so far. I am on CD 15. Got a negative OPK this morning but I usually get my peak on CD17 / CD18. So we'll see. Gosh it's like a military operation!
This is also the first month using the preseed and got some wellman vitamins for himself - fingers crossed it helps.

I am out this month
We are very new to this so can't be too disappointed. Tried the ovulation kit this month which was helpful.
We have both started vitamins as well so hopefully that will all help!
Baby dust for all
Little Miss is this your first month TTC also? I havnt begun using the ovulation tests yet, will wait and see how the first few months go. I think know when I ovulate, so I'm hoping that this will work. I have wanted a baby for the past year however the timing wasn't right with work and my partner travelling so we held off. I'm currently waiting to test, and time has never passed as slowly in my entire life. It's all I think about.0 -

So I finally got my smiley face this morning......phew! I was getting worried as it was a bit later and I was running out of ovulation sticks. :rolleyes:
So I am on CD17 and got my first high fertility smiley. I'm expecting to get another high fertility tomorrow and a peak smiley on Wednesday. So will be busy the next few nights.
You know all that stuff about lying down after sex, elevating your hips and not going to the bathroom?? Do you guys do all that? I do and my hubby thinks I'm mad! :rolleyes:0 -
It can't hurt Dreamstar! I got four days of flashy smiley face and got a solid smiley face this morning. We've only managed to do the deed every second day so far, we both work shifts and sometimes we don't actually see each other awake Add a two year old into the mix and it's not easy to find the time and energy. Will defo get down to business today since I got a peak fertility result this morning.
Fingers crossed for us both now!0 -

Typer monkey really sorry to hear about your miscarriage,hope your stay on this is a short one!
Dreamstar I throw the legs in the air as the mood takes me, don't do it religiously although I did make a big effort around peak on my cycle this month. Pretty sure my husband thinks I'm half cracked anyway so this doesn't surprise him in the slightest. Sure it can't hurt
9dpo here and my head is well and truly wrecked. I'm not one for mad symptom spotting usually but I've had one I'm finding it hard to ignore. Boobs have been leaking since 5dpo (sorry to gross anyway out) this has only ever happened when breastfeeding my daughter which is coming up on two years ago now. My nipples are also so sore, painful in the shower stinging kind which I never get.
Did a cheapie test this morning which was negative, I know it's early but feel gutted and the optimism I had over the weekend is gone. Can't get the leaky boobs out of my head. I know it can be a sign of high prolactin but my endocrinologist checks my levels regularly, I rang him Friday and he said my levels were perfectly fine in February but if it persists and I'm not pregnant to get my bloods done again.. My body is obviously just being super mean to me this cycle. Have serious backache and cramps on off like AF is coming anyway.0
