Hi everyone,
I am due to get my period on the 20th of oct,today is the 18th and I'm getting some mild on and off cramping like I would be getting my period, except that when I normaly get my period I have bad cramping,I'm also getting a tiny bit of spotting but not like normal that has been on and off for the last couple of days, I took a hpt on the 17th it came up negative but I think I took one to early, I have been off the pill for 1 month and I'm trying to get pregnant, I wanted to no if cramping and spotting like what I describe is part of early pregnancy or does anyone think it could just be my period? Any replys would be truly greatfull, thanks guys, good luck :D email me please [email protected] thanks

On the 20th I had high cervix, few drops of blood. On the 21 and 22 I had no bleeding at all but small cramps. On the 23 I had a few drops of blood and a reaaally faint positive urine test. On the 24, no blood, no cramps. On the 25 I took a blood test..POSITIVE! On the 27 I got my hcg levels checked and I was already at 3400 mIU/ml. ( 5 weeks pregnant??) My urine tests were for 20 mIU and for me they didnt work. So yes, if you have very light bleeding, dull cramps and a high cervix that doesnt drop...you can be pregnant!! I felt like my period was going to come but it never did. I suggest getting a pregnancy blood test done, I dont trust the urine tests very much. So far I zero symptoms..not tired, boobs are not sore and I dont feel sick at all. My cervix is high and feels bigger and soft..puffy like. Hope that helps, good luck to you all!

hey I got a question what does a high cervix mean? Email me please thanks [email protected]

Check your email, I sent you a little info on your question, as requested I sent it to the email instead of posting. Good luck.

Well, I had had a m/c Jan. 2005, and my period was a little off for a few months. Then became regular for the past 4-5 months. I started my period on sept 12. Which lasted about 5 days (which is normal for me) then had lots of unprotected sex since, almost everyday. My period was late(unusually late) which is strange to me because I'm like clockwork, I feel tired a lot I have to nap all the time, which is also strange because I usually have lots of energy, I took 3 pg tests all came back negative. Then last night I had some brown discharge accompanied by mild cramps, and sore boobs, this morning I got what seems like my period but the blood is very dark almost black, but it isn't flowing like my regular period. I work at a daycare with babies, and they seem extra clingy with me (odd because they never used to be) to the point if I put them down they begin to cry, but as long as they are with me they are fine. I had this before when I was pregnant the children just seem to sense it, especially babies. I'm also a little nauseous, I really feel pregnant. Is it all I'm my head or am I pregnant?? :confused:

I'm also peeing quite a bit and moody.

Hi I got my last period on Sep 29 and I know that I ovulated on the 12 of this month, and we did have intercourse around that time. On its only been 7 days after my ovulation and I had light spotting just once. What do you think? Could it be implantation or just bleeding. Thanks

Dear, you've had a miscarriage before, so does this seem like that type of symptom again? You should not have dark discharge, as any discharge other than clear or creamy white is an indication of a possible infection. You really need to see your doctor as soon as possible as your dark bleeding is not normal either. I am not sure you are 'still' pregnant, but those tests are never a sure thing, only a blood test from the doc is best. Your hormones might be going through changes, but it does sound to me as if you might have lost another one, sorry. But please don't take my word for it, as nobody can examine you through the net, and if you are not having much pain, there might still be a chance with medications. I can only repeat, see the doc. For future assistance and reassurance, you can check the following sites which are very informative - wish they had such when I was anxious and worried..

http://www.babyfit.com **This one is free to join and has it's own forum. Also covers other questions you might have, diet, exercise, medication and clinical procedures. etc.

http://www.mayoclinic.com

http://www.marchofdimes.com/pnhec/159_516.asp

All the above sites are very interesting, but they do not replace the doctor's visit. Good luck to you dear and hope everything is OK. Keep us posted.

From now on, can you place this in the other thread called 'are you pregnant...' because this one is getting so large that it's hard to keep up with who is who here. You can also send me a Private Message if necessary.

Hi chery
I went to the doctor's and I had to get a blood test doen to what blood typ I've got. I have to ring on Monday to what happening, I hope everything is good. Thank you... ;)

You are very welcome, please keep us posted..

Hi
I had 2 go and get a 2nd blood test today I will find out on thrsuday. :confused: I hope everything is OK.I can not sleep and till I find out everything is fine.

My last period was Oct 3rd and I have very irregular periods, never shorter than a 35 day cycle. However, Monday and Tuesday ( 24th and 25th) I had VERY light spotting, brown and pink with only a few drops of red blood and only when I wiped. I know that it could be implantation bleeding. I have had one miscarriage before. I didn't think I ovulated but I guess I could have. I am very excited we might be pregnant. I just wanted to a place to share. I will do a hpt in a week or so and see what it says. I really hope I'm pregnant! :)

Similar thing happening to me right now. I had my last period on September 30. I usually don't have a period but every two months or so (usually about a 50 day cycle). I started bleeding faint pink on Saturday, October 21. On Sunday, I woke up to a tiny amount of dark brown blood and I have continued spotting all week... but is has been VERY LIGHT and is definitely not a period because no cramps, etc. Not really sure what to think because this has never happened to me before. My husband and I are not trying for a baby, but it would never be bad news for us to receive. I am scheduled to go to the doctor on Monday, October 31st.

Any opinions? I have looked at so many websites and I keep reading different information everywhere. I have read a lot of articles that claim that implantation bleeding doesn't really occur. Has anyone on this site ever experienced it for sure?

Wow, yeah, sounds like the same thing. Let me know what the doctor says! I do know people who have definitely experienced implantation bleeding so it's a real thing. And everything I read says the bleeding is pink and brown and light and not like a period. That is exactly what happened for me, and it sounds like you too! :D

:D I will keep you updated on my situation and please do the same! I am going to be hoping all week that it works out for you!! :D

Thanks so much! I will keep you updated for sure. And please let me know what your doctor's thoughts are. I would make an appointment but I start a new job next week so I can't take time off to go. Aarrgg.. :)

Hi well I was thinking that I was Pg Because I did have light spotting 7 days after ovulation. But this morning I woke up to find that I had my period. I was a little upset. But Im just not going to think about it and drive myself crazy any more. Good luck with you all and I will keep you guys updated.

I'm so sorry. That sucks. Hope you have different results next month! :o

Thanks for understanding how I feel about it, I just can't understand why I have not been able to get Pg. I can get Pg before just by passing my husband in the hallway, and now that we are trying. I have no luck. Im only 28 years old and I have kids. Why is it so hard this time?

I understand. My husband and I have only been able to get pregnant once and we had a miscarriage that time. Some things just don't make sense and are SO hard. I really hope it works out for you.

Hi

Hi sarita
I hope so this my fourth misscage.some people have good luck some people have luck and I think I'm 1 of them.

Since you've had a few unlucky breaks, try and give your body and soul time to heal, wait a few months, and try not to think about it so hard. Keep yourself busy with other things, take a lot of vitamis and minerals, and generally relax. You need some time to recover and this is important for you in the future. The body and the mind work together and both need time to heal. Good Luck to you, dear, and please don't drive yourself crazy. It will happen in time.

The best thing to do is see your doctor, both of you. You could be going through changes, and stress about wanting to get PG again can prevent this from happening also. Maybe you and your hubby need a 'vacation' for a few days, different surroundings, romantic dinner, etc. But reassurance from a doctor that both of you are still healthy and everything else is OK will take a little stress off both of your minds. Don't give up, and don't fret so much, until you know the real deal - relax a bit and maybe it just might happen. Good Luck.

Hi chery.
That what both of us need is a nice hoilday with pool and lovely sofe bed. Live it up for a week. That would be great. ****thank you so much from rach.. **** :) I had bit of a cry day but got over it.just start a new day think god I'm here an move on.

Glad you had a better day today. I know today's financial situations sometimes make it impossible to go somewhere, but if you have a good friend or neighbor, maybe you could 'trade places' and have them watch the kids too, then get some candles and favorite music, and take it from there. Anything is possible and I wish you good luck.

Sorry, maybe I was thinking of someone else with kids, but that makes it easier for you two to have a nice romantic evening in a different surrounding when you get the chance. Like I said before, you could even offer to trade places with a relative or friend for one night and bring out those candles and a nice dinner. Have you tried making sushi if you like it? Look up how on the net, there are a lot of nice recipies, some even without fish. Any change of atmosphere will help you relax. Lots of Luck, and Happy Halloween!

Hi!
Well, I'm not sure what's going on. I started a new brand of BC pills a couple of weeks ago. My cycle (when I'm not on BC) seems to be around 25 days. I started on the 13th, and I figured I was ovulating on the 21st - 24th. Just yesterday, I got some light spotting and was a little cramping and bloated. I know cramping could be associated with implantaion, but what about being bloated? Could it just be due to the new pills or could I be pregnant? What do you think? Thanks!! :)

Hi Nancy. A change in BC pills could well cause these side-effects. But if you had 'unprotected intercourse' during this time, it might be another symptom. Wait until you are due for your next period, and if it does not show, take a HPT or EPT, even though they are not 100 percent accurate sometimes. The most important thing to do when in doubt is to see the doctor. Please get back with us and keep us posted. Good Luck, and Happy Halloween!

Grettings All!

I am new to this forum, as well as trying to conceive. Here's my story, tell me if I am making too much out of this or may I possibly be pregnant.
I had my last period from October 12th to 19th. I maybe a day off, but this is pretty close. My husband and I were going to start tracking my ovulation, starting in November, I am not sure when I usually ovulate. We had sex Sat. the 22nd (first time without protection). 4 days later I had some mild cramping and had some pink blood when I wiped it lasted only one day. The following Sat, I had severe nausea, and could smell anything and everything a mile away. The whole week I just didn't feel right( tired, crampy, mild breast tenderness, and slight nausea. I still feel this way but I'm having some trouble sleeping ( can't get comfy my back is starrting to bother me) I keep trying to tell myself its just in my head, but then I feel worse. My bleeding started again today (light pink and clear). Isn't it to early for me to have symptoms if I am pregnant. I would only be 9 days pregnant, it doesn't make much sense. Im not even sure when I ovulate either.. I just know I feel strange, and its more than mental. Im not supposed to start my next period for another 12-15 days (again I never really kept track of this. ( I will from now on.) So anyway am I being mental or can I be pregnant? Thanks and God Bless :)

Since this thread is getting so large, it's hard to tell who's who anymore, I suggest you find the new thread I started or begin one of your own. But until then, I will convey the first rule for any of us on the forum that are not doctors: IF ANY DOUBT -SEE YOUR DOCTOR! This should always be remembered.

Next, try this site and another which I will add further down. We are all different and if you are no longer having any severe cramping or bleeding, there might be a chance, so check the symptoms listed on the link below:

http://www.americanpregnancy.org/get...ysymptoms.html

This next one is a site that has a forum also, you can join it for free and it is a forum for OB/GYN issues mainly - you can communitacte with others that have the same hopes, fears, anxieties as you.
What's important here is that you get reassurance:

http://www.babyfit.com

Also covers other questions you might have, diet, exercise, medication and clinical procedures. etc.

I hope you'll take advantage of our help and also those of the links above. Wish you a lot of luck - and please don't stress yourself out, see your doc first before you let that happen. P.S. keep us posted.

I kind of feel silly asking this question since I already have 4 kids but here it goes, My last period was October 9, 2005 my most fertile time was the 24th and 25th in which I did have sex with my husband with out protection, on the 23rd, 25th (for sure dates) and a couple time before and just the other night. (sunday 30th) I woke this mourning with the urge to go potty quite a bit and when I do it feels like when I was in labor with my other kids, and I am having a very light pink bleeding mixed with some tissue. Could this be implantation bleeding? I know I had implantation bleeding with my daughter but don't remember what it looked like or felt like. I've also have had two miscarriages, so Im kind of concerned to what I am dealing with here any help or advice would be appericated. FYI today is nov 1st excately 7 days from the 25th my most fertile day.

Like you said yourself, you've been there several times and also have had miscarriages, so you would probably suggest to someone else asking the same question - to see the doctor! This is my first suggestion to you, as it's better to be safe than sorry and worried. The above link is helpful as well as several others of interest which I will post on this thread in time. But for now, and your personal reassurance, please do the doctor's visit first. If you cannot for some reason see a doctor right now, check out this online clinician in the U.K - this will at least get you a doctor's opinion of what you should do for further reassurance. Do you sometimes get those kind of cramps when constipated and might that be the cause of the current pain? A little spotting is normal, my mother even had what she claimed her period all through her pregnancy with me, so we differ each time. I wish you the best and good luck.

www.askdramy.com The U.K. online doctor.you can post on a forum, or 'ask the Dr. Amy' with a click. The FAQ Tab on the homepage is also a good place to click and has a lot of good subject matter. P.S. Mose of the articles are printable in PDF format.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_17_1.gif

Thanks so much for the help and the link, I sheduled an appointment with my ob/gyn, :( the only opening they had is for nov 14th. But that's better then waiting intil the 13th of jan when I was shedule to go in for my yearly. Thanks again for all your help :)

Glad you got an earlier appointment, and until then the sites should help and reassure you a little. Please keep us posted. Again, stay calm and good luck.
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_33_13.gif

Sorry dear, I thought I'd read that you already had kids, this thread is so large now I got you mixed up. But a nice evening in another surrounding, like changing places with a neighbor or relative is still something to think about. Will keep my fingers crossed and wish you both the best!

Hey everyone I was just wondering what was going on, I'm using mycycle.com to track my cycles and so far its been correct with my periods... I had light bleeding for a few hours on October 28th and it stopped the same day then I had the same thing on the 30th of October.. and my period isn't suppose to come for another 18 days :confused:.. could this be just stress?. and ever since I had my first daughter 2 years ago I've had irriegular periods.. can someone help me please... :confused:

OK, I've been reading this thread and caqn totally relate. Any advice would be great (and yes, if nothing happens by Friday, I will go and see the doctor!). My last period started on 4th Oct, and according to the ovulation tests I took, I ovulated on around 19th Oct. Since then I have been nauseous, headachey, backachey, crampy, VERY tired, dizzy and have had a very odd feeling in my stomach that I can't explain. I've been needing the loo loads more and keep waking up in the night. My BBT has remained high. All sounds promising... but. Did test on 3rd Nov, and it was negative, did another on 6th Nov and negative. Did one again this morning (decided to try different make) and still negative, but it's now day 35 (much longer than normal) and no period, and BBT still raised. Is it just me being wishful, or could I be pregnant? Have only been trying since August, so no real experience to draw from, just been reading loads of these forums and every book I can get my hands on!
Thanks,
Rx

Oh well, it seems like it was period after all. Either that or my body has decided to turn mutant on me! It's just so frustrating that I had all those symptoms that seemed and felt so right. Well, I just have to look forward to trying again next month!
