Hi again Amy.... Laughing

Some women can have a slight brown or pink discharge when you ovulate, and some women have a pink or brown discharge when a fertilised egg is implanted into the uterus from a week after you have ovulated, called implantations spotting. This is really common in the first trimester of pregnancy also, especially around 6-7 weeks, as the embryo snuggles into the womb lining. HTH!

You'll be fed up with me! Rolling Eyes

But I am indeed a nurse, and we were trying to conceive for 18months, and ended up on fertility treatment, so I have a real vested interest in fertility. Feel free to ask me anything, and I'll try to help.

Just have loads of sex - every other day, and every day for a few days dueing the time you are ovulating (do you know when you ov? Look out for signs such as thicker stringy cervical mucous (sorry, TMI), ov pains real low down on left or right side of abdomen, and make sure some of his "boys" are there a coupleof days before you ov to make sure they are there to meet the egg when it is released), try to stop smoking - both of you - if you smoke...makes a massive difference on sperm count, enjoy baby practising)! Especially when you are mid cycle, but don't just restrict it to then! Start taking folic acid (prevents illnesses in bubs such as Spina Bifida, gets lots of exercise, fresh air, and relax. Try not to get too stressed about the whole thing....it makes such a difference! Such a glamarous time is baby making! Laughing

Good luck xxx

Hi i'm new to this so i apologise if i ramble lots. we're being trying for a baby for approx 2 yrs but more so recenting taking temperatures etc. my temperature chart has been up and down anything between 35.1 to 36.7. According to the chart i could have ovulated 4 times. Anyway, i was due on last sat but didn't come on so did a test which was negative, then another on monday neg again! on tuesday i had extremely light brownish pink spots a few times then nothing. i did another test wednesday which was neg again. since then i've been having very light pink/brown spotting with little tingle pains in belly and have been really tearful but nothing else. i normally have extremely painful heavy periods so am really confused.

i know i'm probably just hoping for something thats not there but i read some of your comments on implantation bleeding and was intreged. i guess if the bleedings become heaver that will answer question!

help x

hey staceym

i never knew that having brown discharge could be a sign of pregnancy either! you never know.. you might be pregnant! have you been to the doctors? as the home tests might be wrong. x

Thanks for the reply.

I have made a doctors appointment for monday as a follow on from all the testing we've been doing plus my mom said that she had 2 months of bleeding with my youngest sis.

but i've just start to get p pains so i'm not holding out much hope, i hate this time of month especially when you get your hopes up for being late etc. who said getting pregant was easy!!! Sad

Anyway how are you getting on? Smile
