Thanks Kimberke, I might not test tomorrow hopefully it will be ok thank you for your advise much appreciated

Ruby: I'm so sorry to hear that..as if you haven't gone through enough! Sounds good to give yourself a break, take "control" of your body again. I had no bleeding or cramps and was still suffering from morning sickness so it was such a horrible shock and just before Christmas when we were going to announce it to our families...

Dragonfly: Listen to you body and see the spotting as a sign that you need to rest your body as much as possible. Look after yourself.

As for me, I just went to the gym and lifted weights..came back and was spotting dark brown/red :( I'm thinking it could be AF even though I'm only on cycle day 25...my cycles might not be as regular as they were before the MMC. Feeling pretty sad about it.

@larallen. Thank you! My girlfriend and I have been climbing stairs (168) 2x a day. Doctor told me that it should be fine to do stairs but I always take my time in climbing them and I drink plenty of water all day, minus my one cup of coffee in the morning and the rest is water. So sorry to hear that AF might be on her way. Let's hope that it could be implantation bleeding.

Will see how the day goes as I ordered my breakfast when I got to work and took one bite and then I was running to the washroom as I was about to get sick and I am chilled to the bone and nose was running for a bit. Not sure if that would be morning sickness (never got sick with my first) or the anxiety playing havoc with me so eating crackers.

Thank you @dragonfly23 I do hope that I'll be one of those women who had spotting during the TWW and then a BFP but I'm realistic too...it's not the end of the world if it doesn't happen this month I guess :)

Maybe lay off the stair climbing for a few days..I know it's a pain, but maybe your body just needs complete rest, lots of nutrient dense foods and warm fluids. I'm pretty sure that the bleeding would be getting heavier if it was something to worry about so I'm sure you're fine. Keep us updated xxx

@larallen. I agree. If it was something more serious then I would still be bleeding and I am not. I've never had a miscarriage and I don't know if I could ever get passed that and then try again for another. I think after this, I am done with kids as this is too stressful for me. I will layoff the stairs and then get plenty of rest. Thank you again; I really do appreciate everything and take everything to heart. I am glad you have an open mind about everything and that anything is possible.

Got back from the health nurse who reassured me that it is normal as with the second pregnancy everything happens quicker, so with that the uterus expands quicker and may cause cramping. The brown discharge is old blood and that too is normal. Now I need to get my brain to get passed this as everything is normal and I will call the doctor soon to see if they have my results from yesterday. I never thought that being pregnant the second time would be like this.

This is such great news @dragonfly23 So happy that she reassured you and that you are able to feel more relaxed. I think our maternal instincts make us worried about everything and I'm sure that doesn't change regardless of how many pregnancies/babies you have.

I am barely spotting now, nothing in my underwear..slight cramps and nausea. I just wish something more definitive would happen! Trying to focus on my studies (studying to be a Personal Trainer) and I'm getting so distracted!

@larallen. I'm still a bit stressed but I think you are right, it is the maternal instincts that makes us go a little wonky as I didn't have anything like that with my first. Glad that your spotting is slowly stopping so hoping that it turns out to be that you are pregnant. Only a couple more days of work and I am off on a 4 day weekend.

I got my Beta HCG Levels from yesterday @16dpo 4wk2d is 848 I'm excited my levels look good!!!!

Hi All,
I am hoping to make the Oct 2018 baby cut! I had my first IUI Feburary 4th. I am waiting until this weekend to test.

We have been trying for over two years now with 2 chemical pregnancies and an ectopic. I now only have one tube which has made the process a little more difficult.

Last month with my checmial I had some symptoms that I am experiencing again...hoping it will be a sticky bean this time!!
