I am new to ALL of this

[babymu]

Hi All,
I am a newbie here and I would like some advice please if anyone can help?
Ok my story goes......
Been off the pill since sep 07 when Hubby and decided to try, well we said try but didnt want to put any pressure on us so just decided to see what would happen. Up until now, obviously no pregnancy. Its only the last coupld of months we have actually started doing it at the right times etc.
My last period came on the 13th June and it lasted a little longer than usual. I should gace been ovulationing 22-24 June. so we have intercourse on the 22nd and 22rd. Too tired on the 24th heehee
didnt really put too much thought into it until the last couple of days been really really tired. I am also on a stupid shakes diet which can cause this as well tho! but today I have been to the toilet and there is a pinky/browny blood when I wipe, also a bit of discharge and have had a weird pain on my left side pelvic area not a bad pain just a bit weird. Anyway I didnt even know you could have syptoms of implementaion or anything until this happened this morning and I started looking into it on the net. I am pretty clueless about all of this.
So is this a sign that I may be preggers then and is there anything else I can watch out for? Also when is the earliest I can test, dont want to test too early but couldnt stand the long wait till 11/7 when P is due.
Sorry for the long story!! hope someone can give some advice!
Also I have been reading all the posts, could someone let me know what any of the abbreviations mean? I am a bit dim and couldnt understand most of them
again sorry for the longness! look forward to chatting and gettin to know you all.
Love marisa xxx

Your more then welcome darling, I know I didnt understand them when i first arrived here.. I have to warn you tho that this forum is very very addictive

Symptom spotting, we are all guilty of it not matter how hard you try not to!!!

I have my moments where im very obsessed but thats not good for TTC and we have to remember that (easier said then done)

yeah I love the killers... keeps me sane

some of the abbreviations are great and I promise ya will get used to them all

Look forward to getting to know you better hun and in the nicest way possible I hope your not in the TTC section for long
