hmmm. i am not sure. I wish I could be of more help. I'm kinda confused in this area as well. Some people(like my aunts mom) had slight bleeding throughout their pregnancies, so that is a possibility. it could also be stress, or sickness, or a change in your exercise rutein that has thrown off your cycle a bit. I have also heard of some women having spotting/ slight bleeding during their ovulation. I would give your doctor a call, and just ask them about it. Or even your local planned parenthood. Obviously they can't give you a definite answer without an examination, but they might be able to give you some suggestions as to what is going on and whether you should come in for an examination. I know this prolly didnt help much, sorry. But there are lots of other people on this site that can maybe give better answers. and we are always here if you ever need to chat. It sometimes help to clear your mind, and put you at ease just being able to talk about it. I hope you figure it out soon. Let us know

If you are concerned. Go to the doctor right away. He/she will be able to tell you what is going on. If the dark red discharge had tissue in it, it could be miscarriage. Although miscarriage is also associated with some serious cramping. I would let a doctor figure out what is going on.

thanks you guys it's great having someone to talk to. that you don't have to explain ever other word to (husband)lol but the dark red last for a few hours and went away. My week has been the same for about 7 months some life there huh??? so no extra exercise and anything extra for that matter. yeah i read as well that it could be ovulation. Oh and i had really bad cramping last night. and why don't urine tests work on me, last time i was pregnant it took 3 months to detect it. why is that i thought it can detect at 25.

Some women dont have a high enough amount of pregnancy hormone for the tests, I have heard. and I have even heard of someone who's hormone didnt even show up on the blood test for a few months. SO, it just differs for each woman and each pregnancy i think. yea, typically guys dont wanna get into this kind of discussion too deeply. hah.but that changes with time (sometimes) good luck!

That sucks. i wish it would just hurry up. I am very impatient. I can't wait to one day tell my child how much of a head ache they were getting here lol. He wants to be involved i just have to explain every single thing like implantation bleeding and stuff. He's trying to play it cool but he's gitty
Best of luck to you

It took a month for all of my hpt's to show up positive and that includes the twins that i'm now carrying. I would ask your dr for a blood test and be positive. Cramps can go either way as far as pregnancy, ovulation and onset of your period. I still get cramps from time to time...lol... growing pains. How old you are may also have something to do with the changes your experiencing. The only way to be sure is to talk to a dr. While we're great at guessing and giving you the possibilities we don't make up for a trained health care provider. Not that any of this helped much but hey sometimes all you need is an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on... let us know how everything goes...

Dear Chad'sWife..
When I was pregnant with my daughter, there were no Home Pregnancy Tests. I went to the doctor late for two reasons.
1) My blood tests always came out negative - even at five months, and already showing.
2) I didn't go until it was too late for them to perform a therapeutic abortion because I was told that I shouldn't get pregnant due to a heart problem.

So, you see, we each differ, no matter what the text-books say, or what doctors think is 'normal'.
What I did as soon as I suspected I was pregnant, was take my vitamins and iron, stop smoking and did not drink alcohol, and just generally keep up a good healthy diet. We also did not have information from the internet at the time, so you are at an advantage here.

You can also hook your husband up to a good internet site so that he can read for himself to feed his curiosity. That way he will not get on your nerves so much. Because we all know that stress needs to be avoided if you are pregnant.

Good luck, dear, hope your wish comes true, and please keep us posted.
