Today is the average day my period should start. I had a little brown blood when I wiped and nothing more. Does anyone know what that could be?

Criss.. I think you should take another test on Thursday morning again or even Wednesday.. I read earlier tha you had a faint positive line since the hormones doubles up every 2 days if you truly pregnant the positive line should be more noticeable by Wednesday.. regarding the brown blood don't know what it is [implanation of the embryo maybe?]
Kpag, so what's going on with you?Quote:

Please let me know what's going on with you.
Ok, everyone... I tested again this morning and I got another faint line. Only this time it was much darker than the one a few days ago. I believe that's my answer.
I will let everyone know how my ultrasound goes on Tuesday (Dec. 2.) It will be interesting to see if I've been pregnant this whole time or if I recently got pregnant.
I also plan on testing again on Saturday to see if I can get a darker line.
I pray that all of this information is helping someone out there. I know how crazy and confussing it can feel to have all of these things going on in your body and all the posts and questions end with more questions and no one comes back and says, "Ok, I'm pregnant!" or "Man, I wasn't pregnant!"
My goal is to help others as I have been helped.
A faint line is a line so I'd say, yup, you've got your answer and I'm going to say congrats. :)
Let us know how the ultrasound goes and keep us posted.
Also, have you started prenatal vitamins? It's important to start them asap for the health of your baby. :)
It is hard not knowing what's going on with your body, I wish we could be more help on sites like these, but sadly we cannot. But threads like this one do help, it makes people know that they aren't alone out there, that other people are going through similar things.
Good luck Crissy, and congrats again. :)
Woohooo girl congratssssssssssss.. a faint positive is a positiveeeeee girl,am going to test tomorrow morning too[still no period and I had serious diarrhea since yesterday night just different from any diarrhea I had in the past].weird why my test says something about only for in vitro something.. should I be able to get accurate results tomorrow?
Kpag, yeah, all the test say something about for invitro use. Don't know, but what kind of test did you use? I got mine from the Dollar Store. I am going to use a better brand for Friday's test. Maybe Equate or CVS brand. I'm too cheap to buy EPT or ClearBlue.
You should be able to get an accurate result since your period is MIA.
My hubby and I are really believing for twins... one boy and one girl. What are you praying for? I feel like we're partners in HPT crime. Hee Hee
Well to my dissapointment this morning I woke up with little cramps went to the bathroom annd there it was loooooooooooool not funny but I was about to pee on the stick lol and I remember the time of my ovulation my husband went on the trip.. so I guess I have to keep track of my ovulation time from now on and let him knowlol but hmmmm crissdy very happy for you though you got finally yr answer girl congrats!! once again
Kpag, still keep me updated. I will do the same after I get my ultrasound next week.
Don't give up hope, it will happen soon, and take it from me, seeing blood does not equal to not being pregnant.
I know girl///i feel like its coming soon... ama just try to not set my mind too much on it so it can happen lollllkeep me updated
Hey eveyone! My hubby wasn't so convinced by my faint positives over the last week, so he made me take another this morning and I finally got my BFP!! Whoooo Hooo! I'll be back on Tuesday with the ultrasound results. Baby Dust to everyone!!
Please read my other question for details and more info. On this subject.
>Threads Merged<
Please stick to ONE thread for this issue.
If you read the last posts on my threads then you will see that I am doing just that.:D Thanks for the merge and not just locking it. Obviously I've got my answer... I'm here to benefit others.Quote:

Hi Crissy I guess I can say I am going through something similar. My last period I believe was in October as you can see I do not keep track that well. I know for sure I did not get a period on November at all. I have taken 3 hpt tests which were all negative. I have symptoms such as tender breast about 2 weeks ago which only lasted about a week and now I am getting cramps also a white discharge with no odor or itching. I don't know what I can do next my husband is always out of town working but he was here for about a month straight and left again on the 21 of November so I don't know if I got lucky one of the times we use no protection. Anyway let me know I have read all your entries and can't wait to see what they say on your sonogram, best wishes.
Congrats, crissydi ;)
Thanks Kpag, Doula, and Southern!
Wonder, it is rather confussing. Your story does sound like mine and I am pregnant, so I would keep testing every couple of days and if nothing over this next week, then I'd just try not to focus on it and see if your period returns. Meanwhile, take prenatals with folic acid and take care of yourself.
Ok, everyone, I had my second ultrasound today and they say I am 4 weeks and 4 days, but I have calculated 5 weeks exactly, since my last cycle was October 24th. Well, that's the last time I experienced bleeding.
I would have sworn I was further along! At least 9 weeks! But the ultrasound showed a small gestational sac, which they said is early in pregnancy. So, based on this one and the blob they saw 2 weeks ago, I just conceived last month!
They couldn't tell me why I have been experiencing things over the past 2 months and why my stomach is all big!
Is it normal to have bloating before you start "showing"? Maybe I'm having twins! I did see two blobs on the ultrasound, but they were spread apart and the Dr. and the NP only focused on one of the blobs. Hmmmmm?
I had a nice belly at five weeks. It should even out. It doesn't mean you will be real big. I see some girls that don't show until they are like 4 months. We are all different.
God bless u girl and I wish u twinsssssssssssssss
Congrats Crissy. As for me I guess I will have to be patient but from now on Im not going to think about it, if I am not pregnant I am just stopping my period with all the stress. For all those trying to conceive I found something out today in case you did not know. You ovulate 14 days after the first day of your period, so get to it if you want a baby. It is harder for me because my husband is gone all the time working. He came in for about a month and left on the 21st of November so I can't be trying as much as I would like. But if I get my period I am going to be very careful in writing down exactly when I got it and everything. K WELL KEEP US UPDATED CRISSY!
ME
Wonder, I think that is a great idea! I have learned that the mind is such a powerful things and our body falls in line to it's demands. At any rate, confess fruitfulness over your body and it will be fruitful.
I will keep everyone updated. Next month, I will be going to the doctor. I really want to try to work with a small birthing center or community hospital so that I can have a more personalized and natural birthing experience. I'm really into the whole alternative medicine thing already so I think a midwife would be great. I've got a lot to learn about all of this stuff though.
While many women will ovulate midcycle like that, the 14 day ovulation works based on a 28 day cycle. Not everyone follows that norm however. A better guide would be to consider 12-16 days before your next period is due, regardless of the length of the cycle. For those who have irregular cycles a starting place would be to take 11 days from your longest cycle and 18 days from your shortest. This time frame would be the most likely time of being fertile. The challenge is that not everyone falls within the norm. Some women will naturally ovulate sooner or later than what is considered average.Quote:

Basing the timing of sex just on those average numbers will cause some couples to miss out completely. For example: if a woman has a 28 day cycle, but tends to ovulate around day 10, focusing the timing of sex at days 12-14 would be too late.
Also important to remember, timing is just one element in the picture. Several other functions have to working in unison to achieve a pregnancy. Any one of those being off in a particular cycle, timing won't matter that round. This is partly why it takes many healthy couples quite a bit of time to become pregnant.
Well then I'm guessing if you want to get pregnant try every single day? Just to be sure. I do understand what you are saying everybody is different I guess what the doctor told me is just like some cases but of course not all. What do you think about missing your period for so long though I did not get it last month which is a lot to me I actually took a blood test yesterday and negative. They said that since I was just barely on the 10th day of the last day I had unprotected sex it might not sense the hcg yet. So if I don't get my period in 2 weeks I have to go again and take another test which is very painful. Do you think it can be something more serious?
Yes, the idea of ovulating the 14th day from the first day of your period is the average, based on the average 28 day cycle, but focusing too much on just one day, especially since the egg is only viable for about 24 hours with the first half of that thought to be the optimum, can really throw many couples off the mark.
For some couples, sex everyday works just fine. For others, every other day or every third day is more feasible and/or realistic. Unless there is a known concern with sperm count, frequent sex is not an issue for most couples... and may be a good idea several days leading up to ovulation to insure a better quality of sperm. Sperm count many go down a bit over those few days, but not enough to effect chances of pregnancy given the sheer numbers in any one ejaculate... but it may insure healthier sperm at the right time.
Skipping a period once in awhile happens and a reason won't always be determined. Some doctors won't even worry about a pregnancy test until you have missed two periods in a row for that very reason. I'd just wait and see what happens when another period is due and test at that time if need be.
Wonder, follow Doula's advice. She is the expert. I would not know what to tell you. I've only missed a period once, when my best friend missed hers and I was really stressed. Then, now, when I actually did get pregnant, but it showed on a hpt right away... getting a darker line every couple days during the week my period should have come. We can absorb stress in our bodies and not even conceive it in our minds.
Crissy congratulations! Now you can start having some pregnancy fun and your journey begins.
Start a scrapbook and keep up with your mesurements of your belly each month. I did many things throughout my pregnancy.
Liz, thanks! Those are some great ideas! Should I measure in the am or the evening once I've filled out a little? Also, let me know any other cute ideas u have for pregnancy.:DQuote:

With this pregnancy I had a stomach mold done, a 3D unltrasound, a teddy bear with my baby heartbeart, I kept track of the first time I felt the baby kick, things like that. Also, each month I took pictures of my belly for the scrapbook.
Doula, OK so I missed this period. Is there any way I can get pregnant anyway even missing my period or does that make it harder?
Kpag and Altenweg, what's the latest with you?
It would make it harder if you didn't ovulate as well, but there is no way to really know whether that is the case or not.Quote:

I started getting some cramps about 3-4 days ago, I was sure I would get my period but nothing. I guess I'll just keep trying and see what happens thanks for your help
Update: Going to the doctor January 5th. I've decided to use a midwife. I will let everyone know how far I really am and if there's really two in there. = ) Wish me twinnessss!
Yesss girlllllllllll I did wish you twinsss lolll and I wish you twinssssss again... regarding me lol I didn't take the test am just going to wait till dec 26 if af don't show her ugly up thennn yehhhh am going to testt... baby dust and fingers crossed for meeee
I know Kpag, thanks! Baby dust to you and let me know what the verdict is!
Help! I am 8 weeks, haven't been to the docotor yet, my first appointment will be in January. I started at 135lbs (gained about 8lbs prior to getting pregnant because I wasn't able to maintain my normal diet due to moving around.) At any rate, I now weight 149LBS! My boobs went from a 34 DD to a 34 DDD! I'm wearing sportsbras cause they're just too big, my butt is bigger and my stomach is already showing! I can still wear my normal clothes, but I just can't button my pants, so I have tuck the flaps in. I don't understand! I've been so hungry and I only eat healthy things, not icecream and cake and chips. I eat real food and snack on applesauce, crackers, and cheese. I don't get it! Am I gaining too much weight? How do I slow it down? I read that I should only gain 6lbs in the first three months and it's only been 2 months and I've gained like 14LBS! What do I do?
Keep eating healthy choices, but also watch how much you are eating. Even many healthy choices can cause you to take in too much sugar and fats if you are eating too much of them. Try and go for a walk each day... get in the habit of regular exercise. You don't want to diet during pregnancy, but you can certainly watch your intake and make sure it is reasonable.
Maybe keep track of everything you eat and drink, and the amount, over several days and see how much you may or may not really be taking in.
Appetites tend to fluctuate during pregnancy for many women... sometimes eating quite a bit, other times not as much, or very little.
