Hi

I had the browny stuff and cramps also. Think it is just normal, the brown is just old blood, and the cramps is probably implantation aches 😀. It's so difficult not to worry, I was always on knicker watch lol.

I am pleased to say I was third time lucky and my Lo is now 5 months.

Wishing you a BFP

Hi WishingandHoping. Most brown spotting is just due to old blood coming away following procedures such as egg collection and should be nothing to worry about. Should it become bright red and heavy, then obviously you need to get checked out. Hope all soon settles for you. Good luck! Diane

Ditto what the others said, also crinone gel is notorious for causing spotting so your very much still in the game. Good luck x

Hey babez this is normal the hospital told me the brown clumping is only old gel and the cramping is a good sign..Good luck xxx

Thanks gals! This morning i had some peachy discharge which ive had before using the gel. Not properly bleeding and test day is friday so just have to hold out and test on otd. This is soo hard not to watch every twinge. I guess if its meant to be it will be. As my friend said today "its a wanky phrase but manage your expectations and if it doesn't work out it can be a trial run for next time" xx
