hello all!!

could someone please tell me, if it is normal to get light spotting and still be preggers??According to a ovulation calculator i used, implantation should be around the 6th...could the spotting be???maybe??? im am totally clueless when it comes to most things girly... ha ha but i am learning... esp thru this site..
AF due on Tuesday... have had really light spotting today and yesterday, still have the sore burning boobs and still feeling queezy at times.. oh and peeing and eating like a horse... im starting to think i am looking in to it too much, i feel like i am going nuts... my hubby thinks i am looking into things too much, and we will just wait and see... but he has no idea what it feels like to have stuff going on you dont understand yourself, and just want an answer!!!! ahh men..., im sure plenty here will understand...
bring on the 13th so i can know once and for all....
i think the more i think about it, the more i hope it is the real deal... but i still have the drs advise in the back of my head... surely if i look after my self whilst travelling o/s, all should be ok?? i think i am trying to convince myself.... arghh i gotta stop it.. lol

Thanks for reading all... this seems to sound very much like a little vent...

Hey there,

it could be implantation bleeding, or it could be spotting from ovulation. I hope for you it is implantation.

And yes TTC is hard and sometimes i think that we do talk ourselves into symptoms because we want it so bad. And you notice everything more, not like when you werent TTCing.

Good luck lovaduck!

Many people get spotting anytime around CD 5 - 10 which is caused by a surge of eostrogen and is nothing to worry about.
Some people call this 'implant spotting' even though it doesnt really have anything to do with implantation, you can get spotting whether you are pregnant or not.
Good luck with testing on Tuesday. original.gif

I understand about the waiting and reading too much into it. Hope for your sake that you are not looking too hard and are pg.

Just a question ... What did your dr tell you not to TTC before going o/s? huh.gif I am going o/s for 5 weeks at the start of July and are actively TTC. As long as you take care of yourself and don't do any outrageous activities or eat sus food, etc, why should it matter????

hi red head,

the dr advised against TTC till we returned after our trip to thailand, as it is already risky with their water and quality of food... and that if i was to catch a virus whilst over there, eg from vomitting in there toilets, it may be harder to treat whilst preggers... so it was decided that we would wait to protect our unborn child... BUTTTT... of course made the mistake this month... so counting down the days till AF Day... ohmy.gif

but i also believe its our own choice... if i want to be suffering morning sickness whilst travelling.. so be it.. lol so we will see... he he he
