It just felt different than AF. I had taken a test the day before and it was still negative. This was my first month of taking Clomid. Although I personally don't or didn't beleive in taken fertility drugs I felt this was my last resort and planned to try it on the lowest amount for 3 month... 1st month and I got my BFP :D So exciting!

• Blog, website or the like:
• Anything else you'd like to share: I'm nursing my 13 month old with no intention of stopping unless it's medically necessary or things get really painful.  I can't wait to see the look on my mother's face when she finds that out.

[HoneyTree]

ETA: Mamas, I'm ducking out. Some light bleeding today, so I retested with a pink test, and it was incontrovertibly negative. The other was either a weak false positive or a chemical pregnancy, maybe? Wishing you all the best!

I hope all goes well. So far so good. :)  Hows everyone feeling? I hardly feel pregnant. A little cramping. I didn't have some dark brown discharge yesterday and today.... so if that was TMI... Im sure it was just implantation blood that might have been there a little while. I have not MC before but do hold a little fear around it. I need to just let go though and enjoy the ride. :) Hope everyones doign them same. :)
