@Penny1366 - Of course you can join. Anyone is welcome! I just wanted a forum that wasn't birth month specific so we could keep up with each other as some of us keep ttc and some of us have gotten BFPs. How bad are your cramps? Are they just light dull cramps or does it feel like AF? It is normal to have cramps at the beginning of pregnancy. Dragonfly23 has had cramps and she was told it's normal. I hope the discharge goes away and is just another early pregnancy symptom.

Hey ladies!! I’m back And already TTC again I know it’s early but I’m healthy and able to start right way I didn’t need a D&C. Dr said wait a month but when emotional ready to go for it. Plus not getting any younger. My miscarriage was at 6wks and 2days and 7days later my pregnancy test finally came back negative (I had to keep taking them to see if hcg levels were dropping) pus blood work, that in itself was emotional. It took some time and didn’t leave house bc I was very snappy couldn’t be around anyone or see babies. Still hard here and there but each day gets easier. I know it’s hasnt been a month but DH and I are trying this month TTC. So let’s see if I get a late November or earlier December baby. Started taken EPO on cd8 and ovulation tests as I don’t know when I will Ovulate but have read success stories. I will be lurking around . Thanks ladies for all your support and the ones who messaged me.

@Beaut1ful38. Welcome back. I hope you get your rainbow baby.

As for me, not a good start to the morning, woke up to light spotting; had a pap test yesterday and heard that it can happen. So, seeing that put me in a panick stage. Got to work and threw up but I don't think it was from anxiousness. I also got the shivers and pretty cold but then again it is pretty cold here. Haven't been sleeping very well. Going to try and stay the day at work and thank goodness I am off tomorrow. I moved my Friday appointment with the gyne to Thursday as I am busy with work on Friday and I am really hoping that it is going to go well. Hope everyone else is doing well.

I tried to move my appointment up but this one is the noclear scan and they only do that at the 12+ weeks. All she said that if there were worries then to contact doctor to book a regular ultrasound. I know everything is going to be okay but I wish my brain would stop thinking otherwise. I hope you ladies who do get pregnant don't have to go through all the what-ifs as this is not fun. Was even thinking of taking a step back from here for a little while till I get a clear understanding of what is really going on.

I'm so happy your doing this....I'm now 17 weeks and have had a horrible first trimester. i hope to be on here more often but with the way my symptoms fluctuate I can't promise anything. I am happy to see that you haven't given up hope.( Flamingo girl)

@neovictorianmom. I am on my second pregnancy and my first one was a breeze and easy. This one, I am only 8w 4d and this time my symptoms are all over the place and it almost makes me not want to try for a third if the chance ever rises. I'm crampy, moody and I sleep horribly and waking up almost every couple hours. Today was the first time that I ever threw up but sure if it was caused by anxiousness or just coming down with something.

@Beat1ful - If you are ready to try again I think you shouldn’t wait and go for it. I’ve heard some women have good luck getting pregnant again after a recent miscarriage. It’s good to see you back on here and I hope life is being gentler with you.

@Neovictorianmom - Hi! I have not given up hope. I’m starting to feel like i’m not pregnant this cycle but will keep at it until we concieve. I’m considering not using OPKs next cycle but then I like knowing for sure when I ovulate so I might buy another pack of them.

@Dragonfly23 - I’m sorry this pregnancy is harder then your first. I hope ait gets easier in your second trimester .

My AF is due tomorrow or Saturday so if I miss it I will take a test on Sunday (that would be 16DPO). I was crampy Tuesday night after BD and last night before I went to bed, which is strange for me so maybe that was something? I took an HPT this morning and it was BFN, so i’m either out or I had a late implantation. I’ll know this weekend.

@FlamingoGirl13. I'm surprised you tested early but maybe you had late implantation as what you were describing sounds like implantation and it could be why your test was negative this morning as you had that Tuesday night and last night. What brand of test did you take? Thank you, I think its because I didn't have any spotting or anything like that during my first pregnancy, I half expected it to be the same this time around. I guess this time it's not the case and just have to listen to my body.

@ I used a FRER. I have some CB digitals but they aren’t as sensitive. If I did implant late then i’ll miss my period tomorow/Saturday. Only time will tell.

Hi Ladies!

I don't post a lot here, but I saw that there's a lot of good news going on now so I wanted to say:

Beaut1ful38: I'm SO happy you're ready to TTC! My nickname here is "hope4rainbowbaby". Like you, I had a miscarriage (after 7 weeks in early 2017). And I started trying again after I got my regular cycle back again. And here I am: 19 weeks 3 days pregnant now and so far everything is progressing very well. So I was smiling when I saw your post and thought "you go girl!". :) And it will get easier. :) I'm cheering for you and for your rainbow baby!

neovictorianmom: Congratulations! :) I'm not posting here a lot either, but I'm close to you : I'm 19 weeks 3 days pregnant now. to you!! And I hope your 2nd trimester will be much easier!

dragonfly23: well, you KNOW, I'm cheering for you! :) You'll be in your 2nd trimester sooner than you think and it should calm down with all the symptoms!

FlamingoGorl13: tomorrow is a big day! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and for and ! :) In my own experience, things that are out of ordinary, "strange" as you described, can be promising. This is what my intuition was pointing towards, too when I started suspecting that some symptoms are different from just pre-AF symptoms. So it's promising and I hope you'll get some great news soon! Fingers crossed for no AF tomorrow or next day and !

7 dpo and are having a lot of cramp like feeling, feeling really bloated and tingling breasts. Yesterday I nearly fell aslepp before 21.00. Only time will tell if I am imagining things or not.
