Odd Symptoms... Any Hints/Suggestions?

Hi ladies...

This is our first cycle TTCing our #2. With #1, we got pregnant immediately totally unexpectedly.

This one is not going quite as well. This is our first month trying, and I am already miserable!! At 9dpo, I started getting some brown spotting - didn't think much of it... figured it was typical... old blood, possibly implantation... But ever since, I've been getting some red blood mixed in with the brown blood. It's not A LOT... it's no where NEAR what AF would look like, and I am fairly regular, so I also do not expect AF until at least Wednesday.

I am crampy and nauseous and still spotting, and I'm currently at 11dpo.

Part of me is thinking this could lead to a spontaeous abortion/miscarriage. And, I am terrified of that idea... because we were really hoping to get preggers by March, the latest... I am sort of hoping that AF just comes, but these symptoms just seem way off for me, and I am concerned.

We haven't been very active ever since DS was born in May 2006. I think we DTD exactly twice in that time frame - I was nursing, and I think DH was freaked out by the fact that my boobs were being used for something far more important... LOL They just weren't sexy, I suppose.

Anyway, this is the first cycle we've tried. Should I just hang in there? Anyone experience similar symptoms?

I could have written your post. We got pregnant with ds unexpectedly and are now not avoiding. I started brown spotting yesterday and had some more today, but still not AF. I also should start on Wed. I am hopeful.... I spotted a LOT when I was pregnant with ds, like the first 7 or 8 weeks. My doc thought it might have been my cervix, not uterus bleeding. Who knows? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Well... last night I passed what seemed like just a large clot and started bleeding light to medium this morning. Assumed it was AF, but now it's nearly non-existant... I have emailed my GP, but I have yet to hear back from her.

I did test this morning (12dpo) and got another BFN, so I am doubting more and more that this is our cycle... but why is this not a classic AF then, either???

So confused!
