Hi Ladies,
I'd really forgotten how hard the 2WW could be! And we got pregnant month 2 last time we TTC so I have no right to complain when I read your stories of trying for a long time and fertility treatments. NTNP for number 2 now and I'm only 2 days PO and I'm almost nuts. I keep my fingers crossed for everyone - baby dust people!!
Why is it that the moment you have that conversation with your DH and both decide, that's it, we'll come off birth control, all of a sudden ALL you can think about is babies?
I'm an intelligent, grown woman with a job and a 13 month old daughter, and suddenly I have nothing else to talk about, I jump every time I get the slightest 'twinge' and I'm on here reading up again on the 'signs'. So much for taking a very relaxed approach to 'seeing what happens' this time around!
I do want to give you my tuppence on implantation bleeding though as it might help. With my daughter, I thought I had had my period. It was a little weird in that it started exactly a week before my period was due and lasted about a week. I only really needed a pad and it ranged from pink/red right through to brown at different times. Then, when AF proper should have arrived, it stopped. Other than the fact it was lighter than my usual period, I had no other symptoms. A couple of days after AF was due I felt really lightheaded at work when a meeting ran through lunch time, which was the only reason I started questioning things and took a test.
So, don't count on AF unless she hits when she's supposed to be due and progresses as she should (getting heavier on days 2-4 etc).
Chin up and baby dust people. Now, I'm going to try to find a project that will take up the next two weeks of my life while my daughter sleeps. Maybe the kitchen needs decorated. I swear my house has never been tidier!

and it got lighter after all the spotting?
