I agree with the looser bowels. I have had that the last couple days. I believe im at 6dpo because my ovulation date was a guess. I have felt off the last couple days. I have been somewhat crampy today again. Cervix is still high and hard and closed.

@Burn2Ash. Temping can mean anything and hoping both of ours goes up tomorrow. Did the spotting stop? Some say you would have excess cm. I don't even have that, it is more of a watery lotion-y cm. You are only a few more days till shows her ugly face. Let's hope it decides to hibernate for 9 months and not just be sleeping in . Keep us uodated.

@dragonfly23 -- It's only when I wipe (tmi) and it's very light, but it is "watered down" and mixed with clear CM that is more watery than usual, but not really abundant. It's like the tiniest hint of reddish brown. Would probably be barely noticeable if I wasn't paying attention. Though I did have a more "creamy" secretion (sorry!) tinged with brown second urination of the morning. But, it's back to the watered down nonsense. Usually this time during my cycle, my CM is more snot like (ew right?) and white. I really am hoping for AF to stay away. If I'm not pg, then maybe it's just super bad PMS and I'm going to have a really B of an AF this time around.

@Burn2Ash. Nothing is ever a tmi. Well that isn't too bad.

I failed to mention my newest symptom that started last night before dinner time and this happened the last time I was pregnant. My sugar has a tendancy to drop. I am not diabetic in any way. Last night it dropped as I get shaky and can't function plus I have no energy. Now, sitting at my desk at work, I can feel it dropping again as I am sucking back the rest of my pop and fingers are starting to shake and concentration is gone out the window and starting to get a slight headache. I did eat breakfast and had two coffee's (one reg and one decaf with cream/sugar). Lunch isn't for another half hour but I am thinking I will have to take it early. Still cramping on my lower left side. Man if this is a PMS symptom, I would be devastated.

@dragonfly23 -- I really hope it's not PMS. I did probe a little (tmi again lol) and it's definitely old blood. Only other thing it could be other than implantation is that I had a 26 day cycle and it's the start of AF. Hope that isn't the case though.

Rawr! >:B

@Burn2Ash. Let's hope this is not the case and that this is only spotting from IB. In my opinion, I think it is IB as it's brown. I know I can't say for sure as with my last pregnancy, I never paid attention to it or noticed it. Guess will have to see how the day progresses and what temps are in the morning.

@dragonfly23 -- As the day has progressed, the spotting has turned more pink, but it's not any more than it was earlier today. If it were my menses, it would have been getting progressively heavier each time I went to the bathroom. So, I'm super optimistic and excited! I also don't feel any cramping that I normally do on day one of AF and it doesn't smell. I just hope it sticks for good! Let me know how it goes for you tonight/tomorrow. You're 9dpo today, right?

@Burn2Ash. Yes, I am 9dpo today. Still have minor cramping and sugar seems to be dropping again and boobs are still a bit sore. I really don't think my nipples get sore as to be honest, I stopped breastfeeding when she was roughly 6 months old (developed depression and the one nurse on the unit made me so uncomfortable) that I never wanted to continue but for some reason I am still able to get at least a drop out of them so that could play a part in why they aren't sore. Weird, I think. Glad things have gone to a light pink and not gotten heavier. Keeping my fingers crossed that it sticks and you get your BFP in the next few days. When do you plan on testing? I will let you know as the night progresses and what my morning temps are.

@dragonfly23 I only breast fed until 6 months as well. I still get drops out of one breast occassionally. It will feel like there is pressure there. So I will express the milk it will squirt out then have a few drops and then none until the next day. I never had sore breasts or nipples last time either. When do you plan on testing?

I have had cramping today, minor headache, starving, tired and loose stoole again today. Im really hoping thats not a bad sign. Im only 6dpo so only time will tell.

@dragonfly23 -- The cramping could be a good sign. I just started cramping lightly about 30 minutes ago, but it's nothing like AF cramps and they seem to be subsiding. Guess that's normal with IB as well. I plan to wait until I officially miss my period before I test. If AF doesn't show by Sunday, then I will be testing. My nips haven't really been sore until early this morning during that indigestion episode. But it was only when they touched the inside of my shirt. Kinda weird. They're not too bad as of now, but I'm super tired, hungry, and my headache is raging. Bleeding is still just drops only visible when I wipe and still a watered down brownish pink. Definitely keep me posted about your temps and if you see any IB. I still plan on temping in the morning as well, but I'm still not sure the temps mean anything on my end. They may mean something for you!
