Ok. I usually have massacre style bleeding (extremely heavy and lots of clots...sorry. tmi) my first day so this is definitely something very different.

fefecooks- Keep temping, I think at this point it could still go either way. It could be implantation spotting, or if your temps stay low it is probably (unfortunately) the start of AF.

Hbuhs- I think 9DPO is still too early even for tests at the Drs. office- unless they did a blood test.

Healthygirl- How long have you been TTC for a girl now? I think if it is only 1-2 cycles that I would not attempt only 2 days apart. You could attempt today if you still get a + OPK.

I took my first dosage of soy isoflavones today- I'm interested to see if they end up shortening my cycle at all.

[fefecooks]

Ok. Will do. Still hopeful as my daughter-in-law had a period for a day or two and she was sure she wasn't pregnant. Now she's like 11 weeks.

Fefe the horrid cramping happened to me this cycle as well, I was sure it was a good sign because it is not usual for it to happen to me. AF showed after 8 days of spotting. Hopefully it's not the same for you! Fx.

[fefecooks]

Wow seabeewife! I really want this constant cramping to go away if anything. It's really uncomfortable, annoying and really unusual. Almost like I should be checked out if I'm not pregnant. I am older at 38 to be 39 in October. I was really hoping to finally bite into that burger I've been craving for a BFP reward so we'll see!

[seabeewife]

Yeah mine was really bad too. I usually don't get bad cramps during my period either, and on day two of my period I was in such bad pain I was stuck in the fetal position most the day :/ I swear it's stress for me. I've got this last month to conceive if I want my DH home for the birth. Just found out he's deploying again when he wasn't supposed to.

Fefe - I had what looked like AF - 3 days! - and was pg before. Definitely still a chance.

Seabee - that is a truly terrible amount of pressure for you with deployment. Wow. That really made me sit up and think! FX like crazy for you this month.

[fefecooks]

Yes, Seabee, please don't stress yourself. Can you make it to the spa for a spa day? This always helps me because I can be a ball of stress at times too.

[seabeewife]

I wish I could do a spa day. Unfortunately we're a family of one car and I'm not near family to watch DS 2 so I can relax. I usually go on a long walk to relieve stress. I really could use a message though lol.

[fefecooks]

Then we'll have to make this a job for DH after DS bedtime. Tell him to get those hands a-ready!! How about a nice bath with lavender, lots of candles and yes, spa music! Should help!!
