    twigpig are your cycles usually really regular? I have bleeding like that on the months when my hormones are all over the place.

    Hey cwtw, I've never been regular :rotfl: Cycles are anything from 30 days to 65 day cycles. The last 2 cycles both being 35 days, which is unusually normal for me! Only counting the last 2 cycles really, as they didn't return for about 9 months after having DS.

    The bleeding only lasted a short time yesterday and stopped (it had a few clots so it looked like menstrual blood - sorry tmi :o). Do I just carry on like it didn't happen, or should I be resetting my CD? FF seems to be carrying on as normal with OV expected in the next few days. This would make sense if the cycle was about 35 days. I've updated FF as spotting for yesterday and I'm still adding my temps.

    Should I just ignore the bleed and carry on as usual?

    Mrs T_M - Hugs for AF.

    Abis - Its still very early, good luck, I hope this one sticks.

    Becca - Yes I am going to start the clomid after this cycle if not pregnant. Have to be scanned on day12. If it doesn't work then we are on our own till we get IVF.

    If you put down that you had light medium or heavy blood then FF will start a new cycle for you. If you put you had spotting it wont.

    Thanks Claire - I wasn't sure if I should call it spotting or not. I guess if it comes back, I'll change it to light and let it reset my dates.....

    Hope this is it for you Abi! :)

    Big hugs for CD1 Mrs TM. :(

    Enjoying the 'in the old days' stories! My Dad is shocked at the idea of men being present at births nowadays, he waited outside and read the paper when my brother and I were born! :p

    Hope AF stays away Lara. :o Don't really know what to suggest with regards to you trying to fit in the uni work and TTC. Maybe you should just try NTNP for a few months so you're not thinking about TTC too much and it's more down to fate if you get PG. :)

    Been having massive pains in my right side yesterday and today. Guessing it's OV pains but I've never had them so strong before. Ouchie! Couldn't even bring myself to BD last night as was in so much pain. :o

    Last month I had really bad ov pains, they made me wince when I was driving! It wasnt pleasant but I was just happy to be ovulating so early! I thought at the time god Id never be able to bd through this, but luckily the pain was gone by the evening. I was thinking is this yet another way our bodies are conspiring against us to stop us getting pregnant??

    Maybe it depended on the hospital or something cos Im older than you and my Dad was there at mine? Perhaps they were sort of phasing it in then? lol

    Im sure some of my friends Dads were too from stories Ive heard, they always seem to come out at wedding speeches for some reason :rotfl:

    What a rollercoaster!!

    Hugs for Mrs T M - gutted for you tbh.

    Abis - got everything crossed for you, hope it all works out this time for you xx

    All your parents stories are absolutely brilliant!!!! My mum:
    1. Had no morning sickness at all. I guess that means either I'll be the same, or I'll get double (more likely)
    2. Fell asleep while in labour!! Code - you thought you're mum was hard LOL!!

    AFM CD28, no sign of AF yet. Longest cycle was 34 days so suppose that means I should stay away from the sticks until Sunday / Monday. Feel a bit achy today though so perhaps will know before then :-(.

    OH has an interview today, don't want to say we are pinning all our hopes on it ....... but we are!!

    Hey Ladies

    Think I will have to go to NTNP for a few months. It's all got a bit much.

    If you all wouldn't mind I'd like to stay on the front page as NTNP, and go off the daily lists.

    Fingers crossed for Abis, and sorry to Mrs T_M. I'll be lurking!!

    Thank you for all of the hugs ladies! I'm leaning even more towards a chemical this past cycle due to the fact that the bleeding was all of a sudden and extremely heavy (even for me) for about 6 hours last night. Now it's trickled off to nearly nothing... Not that I'm complaining, I'd rather get it all over and done with like that than be curled up in bed in pain even with strong medication with a really heavy flow for a week!

    I'm seeing it as another chance to get my body fitter before we conceive. I'm doubling my efforts at the gym and I'll be trying out some new-to-me classes this week and after. I want to try the synergy thing and the cycling classes this week to see how they are. Might do the low impact aerobics and the synergy tomorrow, since I can't do my aqua class because of a silly house inspection. I'm going to do the half hour cycle class today and see if my knee can survive. At least starting it now, during AF will let me have my ibuprophen if I need to be rid of the inflammation! :)

    Don't know if I mentioned this on this thread or not, but I'm going to stop weighing myself and just see what I weigh at the 3 month health checks at the gym. If I lose weight and up my fitness level by enough by my next check, I get a free month! :j

    Anyway, I hope everyone has a good day today! :)

    Oh! I cannot remember if I put it in pink yesterday or not, but for becca - I am CD2 today. Thank you so much for doing the lists!
