no faster than I typed that I went to the restroom and its starting

@Shanta77. Good luck with testing and hope you get your BFP that you have been waiting so patiently for. Keep us posted.

As for me, it has been a rough couple days. Monday night I had some dark brown discharge that everyone reassured me that it is all normal as my anxiety got the best of me and completely took over. Nothing since then but the thought remains as I didn't have anything like that with my first pregnancy. I have my first ultrasound next Wednesday but I wish it was sooner so I can put my mind at ease. Also having some minor cramping which I heard was normal as well. Been a complete popsicle and nothing can keep me warm. Still using my progesterone cream twice a day. I know all pregnancies are different but this isn't how I want to spend it; worrying about what's going on.

@Shanta77 Oh poo. That seems to happen more than we like to think.
@calvingirl do you guys only do it 2 days before you O? We try to bd 7 days then every other day. the day I get my first positive my husband is able to come home on his lunch and its a quicky. THen the next morning. Try not to do it around the same time of the day each time.
@dragonfly23 TRY TRY TRY to not stress, it is so hard! I totally understand. I normally stress but this time around I have decided not to stress and worry. When I find myself starting to stress or worry I think about what all I have to buy, how I plan to reveal to our older kids. It helps me.

Sorry I have been MIA ladies my youngest was diagnosed with RSV yesterday, we are able to be home with it thankfully.
I have yet to call my ob to set up an appointment. I don't plan to until the end of the month, I will get an ultrasound and I want to be able to see a heartbeat otherwise I will probably stress out over that. So why not wait until I know I am far enough along to see one.

@christlover. Thank you for your kind words. The more reassurance I get the better I start to feel, minus being a popsicle today as I have been freezing since yesterday. I rebooked my ultrasound to Tuesday as Monday is a holiday and the lady told me that if I go in too soon I may have to go back in as it may be too early. I had a teeny tiny bit of brown discharge again and got me freaking out. Other than being cold and get the shivers, I am just tired and want to sleep. I know it's hard not to worry but the thought always creeps back into my mind; is the baby okay? What kind of thoughts that I can keep going back to that will help me to relax? I am not sure whay RSV is and I hope it isn't to serious.

Shanta, i am sorry about af. Just don't get discouraged and keep trying. That's what we all do. Im almost on autopilot.
Christlover, i hope your daughter feels better. Rsv is pretty scary. Prayers.
Dragonfly, you're doing great. If you stress a lot my advice is don't google anything. I did and thought i was miscarrying, something was wrong with me and the baby. That was my worst part. Googling every symptom. I hope no one does that to themselves like i did!
Calvingirl, i hope this is your month. Even if it is a quickie on lunch, it still counts!!

@Kelliria. I almost started Googling stuff and then I refrained from it as that would be a stressor in itself.

Do not Google anything! Google will tell you anything that you want to hear and def not want to hear. RSV is a respiratory syncytial virus infection, it can cause major breathing problems. We are home though and able to treat it here which means she is getting good air into her lungs. Brown is old blood, red is when I start to worry. When you get the urge to Google anything Google baby outfits.

@christlover. Reading your post put a tear to my eye of much needed reassurance (the more the better). Cramping normal too? I totally hear you with Googling. I should Google baby names or something that will get my mind off of things or some cute animals or something like that. Is RSV cureable? So, glad you are able to be home and treat it rather than the hospital.

Yes it is curable, takes some time. It is kinda like bronchitis. Babies lungs and all that is soft so the infection is a little different.
