    @organicmama: yep- everything but the kitchen sink! Lol I've been borderline aggressive, but I am going all out this month.

    Did you decide to start clomid Sunday?

    I tried acupuncture again. I had done it intermittently May-October of last year. I stopped due to migraines. DH talked to his acupuncturist, who stated the person was too aggressive/I was too sensitive and I needed a slower approach. I decided to give it another try. She told me that overall, I was strong and healthy, but my spleen meridian was off (one of the ones that affect fertility) and fixed that. She was confident that things would work out, but stressed that it will be at the right time, whatever that is. I am going to continue and really hoping she is right.

    Hello ladies. Update on me then I will catch up with you all i promise.

    I got another less squinty squinter this morning so i said Eff it and broke out a FRER and got an equally squinty line on that. I will post them but they are VERY hard to see in a photo, though I can now assure you that it is not in my head and they are indeed there. BUT...

    I didn't think i was bleeding until I did and internal check and there was bright red blood. My temp also went down this morning. Not below the cover line but significantly enough that I am fearing a chemical pregnancy. I fear I may be experiencing the same post weaning situation as Septca a couple months back. Perhaps it's a progesterone issue, perhaps my hormones have not quite had the time to adjust, or perhaps I am just going through what some of us go through. Either way I am not optimistic.

    @MrsMccarthy: Big hugs! I don't know what your body is doing, but I really hope it works out the way we all want!

    @sapphire: Thank you honey. I am so happy you got your BFP! A second one is very painful as well if it takes time BUT you will have your baby with you the whole time and I can't imagine not having him to look on. I think it's deifinitely a bit easier for us secondaries. Not easy or fair but easier and i try not to take that for granted.

    @organicmama: I hope we both get our second baby soon!!!!! We have to!!!

    @AmeliaBedilia: I LOVE acupuncture. I definitely believe it can help. It helped me ovulate on time even whilst still nursing. I think it can take a few months but it definitely helps.

    We had such a lovely holiday! We BBQ'd in our yard. We had ice cream and homeade key lime pie. Then we went to see soem fireworks but my son was too scared so we left. It was glorious though.

    @AmeliaBedilia: @littlek: @Honeygold89: thank you sweeties! The spotting and big temp drop really have me feeling like this will be short lived but I am happy that at least sperm did meet egg. It gives me hope for a sticky baby in the near future. I told my husband and we both agreed not to get too worked up about it yet but to have me take it easy.

    @MrsMccarthy: I wouldn't give up! Spotting is VERY common in early pregnancy.

    @MrsMccarthy: I definitely see two lines today, so even if you are spotting, your hcg level is getting higher! That seems really positive but I understand wanting to be cautious. Fingers very very tightly crossed!

    @mrsmccarthy: I can see the line on the FRER. I know it's hard not knowing what your body is doing. But I agree it's probably just your body regulating the hormones back to normal. Also your spotting before your period would confirm that theory. Maybe ask for some 7 dpo bloodwork next cycle to see for sure? But maybe you won't need a next cycle! I'm holding out hope that AF will stay away!!!!!!

    @crystal: yep! Starting clomid tomorrow. Praying this is our cycle for BFPs!

    @littlek: I know! I am just trying not to get too attached yet. I feel SO different than I did with my son and that makes me feel ike this pregnancy isn't going to stick. The bleeding and a temp drop combined makes me worry.

    @simplyfelicity: thanks honey. It's still so early. I know you have been through both sides. Glad your current pregnancy is nice and sticky. Perhaps I will join you on the March board but I am not too optimistic. I plan to wait a while before joining any pregnancy due date boards.

    @organicmama: we shall see. I am going to talk to my doctor and see what she thinks on monday. I am VERY excited about your clomid cycle!

    @MrsMccarthy: I definitely see your line. I'm hoping it is not a chemical, but I love your silver lining that at least sperm and egg did meet! Fx

    @MrsMccarthy: Of course I would love to be on the same due date board as you, but I am just thrilled that things are moving in a very positive direction for you.

    @MrsMccarthy: I see the line on both! I pray for a sticky baby for you!!! And I love that you are able to find a silver lining regardless of what happens. Are you going to wait and see what happens the next few days or get into the dr ASAP?

    @MrsMccarthy: Praying all turns out perfect!
    Congratulations, will you be calling the Dr, or giving yourself a few days

    @yellowbird: thank you sweet darling!

    @simplyfelicity: thanks honey. I tray do appreciate the support.

    @Crystal: I'll call my doctor but I imagine they won't want to see me till a bit farther along. I may ask for an earlier ultrasound if it sticks because I'd like to rule out ectopic and usually with older women they will comply.

    @FaithFertility: thank you! You are always so sweet and supportive. I'm so happy you are having a good pregnancy.

    @MrsMcD: thanks sweetheart! I hope you're next on clomid hsg cycle.

    Part of me feels slightly encouraged by the fact that although my spotting is redish brown I do have to do some ahem, digging, to find it. It doesn't show up when I wipe unless I dig. That's true of my pre AF spotting too however. I'm trying I not dig anymore since it may not be good.

    @MrsMccarthy: a big congrats! Think positive thoughts! I had spotting for weeks and everything turned out fine. I pray this is the stickiest of babies for you!

    @delight: aww thank you honey. That does give me hope. I decided to go to our second hand store and buy something for my son, myself and this little blasty. If anything spine to be. I got my son a shirt with a fire truck that says hero and some camo shorts, myself a pair of fun white summer pants that have room if I need it but will also fit if I don't, and for blasty I found two perfect things, a onsie with hearts on it that says Sweetheart and an adorable st paddys day jumper that says Bravia first at Patrick's day. This baby would be due st pats if it sticks. I figure if there is a loss the onsies were 6 dollars combined and they honor our little blast. If baby sticks then hooray! Baby's first clothes. I also hope that eventually Tor will have a sibling and that sibling WILL get some use out of them. I'll post a photo of them later.

    @MrsMccarthy: Wow-that is most definitely, definitely a line! I know you're in a bit of "limbo" as to whether or not it's sticking around, but for now......congratulations! I'm very hopeful for you! March is such a wonderful time to have a baby. Hoping the red/brown you're seeing is simply implantation-remember, I spotted pretty continuously for a week pre-post BFP. Hoping that's all it is. Congrats again.

    @ChiCalGoBee: thank you sweetie. I know spotting and even a temp drop doesn't count me out just yet. It being so early works for me and against me. Hoping all will be well.

    I am pregnant today. Here are the onsies and here is the shirt I made for my son back in March.

    @MrsMccarthy: yay!!! Congratulations!! Yes, exactly, you are pregnant today!! I spotted until the day I got my bfp. I've also been spotting for almost a week now. It's upsetting and makes me so anxious...but every day I try to tell myself. ..well, I'm pregnant today and I'm happy about that.

    @nicolechris11212: I love that SO much! saw it before. It's achingly true.

    @MrsStar: Thank you sweetheart! You're next!!!!!

    @nicolechris11212: Thank you so much sweetness. FX for this coming cycle.

    @FaithFertility: XO

    @sapphire: Thanks honey. I hope you are feeling well and enjoying your pregnancy.

    @Keppa: It's a VERY scary feeling especially for us two former short LP nursers But who knows maybe that is just the reason we are spotting unlike before. I am so happy you are getting closer and closer. When is your first DR appt?

    @delight: thank you! I was so sad when April came and went. I had to hide it.

    @lilyofthewest: Thank you honey! I will be doing the same for all of you.

    I am actually really starting to believe this pregnancy could stick. I took another Wondfo test and it was darker. No squinting necessary and only a 2 hour urine hold drinking lots of water. My spotting turned brown and has slowed. lots of crampy little belly twinges. we shall see. I am praying and letting myself enjoy it for now.

    Praying this baby sticks and that you all join me!!!!
