Athena -I really wanted to rip people's heads off and I still do sometimes even though I am pregnant when they talk about stuff like that very loud .It still stabs me a little .idk why .Tara-your poor kitty :( why don't you take lots of pictures with him and make a scrap book or something .I had a six year old pug I found a new home for a few weeks back .that dog was seriously my life .I know she wasn't sick or anything .but I had to because right now we are living with my i laws and the only nice apartments or housing around is no pet or a 300 dollar pet fee plus 25 extra every month.and we honestly are not even barely caught back up on bills so it was just something we couldn't afford .and adding in her flea meds food ect it would be about 100 a month on her. So I made the choice for my baby .That 100 could buy lots of diapers .She also was very jealous and snappy toward anything getting my attention and I have had lots of animals from bear cubs to kittens an squirrels around her .anytime I left the room she attacked them.So it just worried me .Anyways .I cried for days .i couldn't sleep I still cry and the lady she went too is amazing and will send me pics all the time .we ate together slept together .it was terrible .Hope you can find some peace in Tara .i will be praying for your kitt yI am really sorry .

Well I started spotting today, its very light and only when I check my cervix. Its very pink accompained by some dull cramping and backache. It feels just like it does before af comes. I'm so worried, disappointed and, discouraged. At this point I'm thinking chemical (I absolutely hate that word and don't like using it but I have no other way to explain it). Then other times I think its normal to spot or even bleed a little during pregnancy that first month around the time of af. I spotted red blood with my daughter and she's perfectly healthy. But this cramping is making me think otherwise. I feel like some symptoms are gone. My the sensitivity in my nipples went away. Now my breasts are pretty sore. I'm so confused and frustrated. I knew something like this was gonna happen and I'm ready to say &$#@ it! I'm so mad at myself for even thinking everything was gonna be okay this time!

Just1more,

Awww, dont worry. Everything is gonna b fine. Try n be positive. We r all hopin n praying for u n d little one.

tc n keep us updated

Justlmore - wanna meet at Costco for pizza? We can cry over churros together. I'll buy for you & your munchkins. :-) I'm going to have my tires rotated & will be a basket case with all 3 kids with me asking me when we can leave every 5 min.

You are right, it's not unusual to spot in early pregnancy, and breast sensitivity is much lower with each subsequent pregnancy and can diminish quickly, too. Did you get he hcg #s from your blood test?

Try to keep the negativity to a dull roar. The chemicals your body produces during stress are not good for the baby. Hugs!

Also, stop checking your cervix. You could be irritating it which is causing spotting. The extra blood flow to it in pregnancy makes irritation spotting much more likely.

Thanks joezammu, it got much lighter. I still only see it when I do a finger check and its clear and very light brown. I'm hoping its just leftover blood either from implantation (since I didn't spot at all) or last af. I'm feeling a little better than this morning. Cramping subsided a little, feeling some flutters, breasts are a little sore and, my sense of smell is still sensitive. I made my daughter apple and cinnamen oatmeal this morning which smells awesome. It made me so sick, I felt like I was gonna vomit but didn't. So some things are still there its just the spotting that's making me think otherwise. How is everything with you?

How is everyone doing? Any changes in the past few days?

Phatgurl, I try to not check my cervix as much as I did before bfp. But with the cramping and feeling like something bad was gonna happen I felt like I had to. What you said makes a lot of sense, I didn't think of it that way. And no the doctor never called. I tried calling yesterday in the early evening and I was too late, he had left already. So I'm gonna have to wait till Monday. I may test again just to see if the line is darker. But then again it might make me worry even more if its not dark enough. My daughters 5th bday was yesterday so I was also doing a lot more than usual. I don't know, I could go on and on about what caused the spotting and its driving me insane. I didn't know breast tenderness wasn't as bad after having kids nor did I know that it can go away early. That's good to know and makes me feel a little better. I wish we could meet up but I have a neighbors party to take the kids to today ( my in laws are going also ugh, makes me wanna pull my hair out lol! My mother nlaw is very narcissistic which makes her extremely hard to be around. Especially cause of me being borderline, it makes it sooooo much worse! We should definitely make plans!

Oh, cervix is still high somewhat soft and very closed, so I guess its a good sign. I'm gonna stop checking, like phatgurl said, I think I'm doing more harm than good.

Justlmore - have fun at the party! I don,t think checking it will hurt anything. I just think it might make you bleed which could make you stress out. Check away. Just don't freak if you see blood.
