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 neg, did another on 6th Nov and neg. Did one again this morning (decided to try different make) and still neg, 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,

    Please read the links on post #114 of this thread, it tells you about the symptoms and helps you through this, and of course see your doctor.
    - those HPT and EPTs are not always 100 percent sure, you should go to your doctor and get reassured. The last thing I want is for you to get stressed out. Good Luck.

    Check the document attached and learn a bit about menstruation and the problems to watch out for now and then. I do hope also that you have better luck next time. Again, always check with your doctor and take your body serious. Good Luck and keep us posted.

Could this be implantation bleeding? I know I had implantation bleeding with my daughter but dont 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.

    :eek: Good news is Im feeling better bad news was I had a urinary tract infection and need to take antibodics to heal the infection. I called my doctors office back and would not take its normal for an answer!! Question though does anyone know if having a UTI will stop my period from coming? I'm techincally three days late now and wondering if my sheldule got messed up or if the stork dropped by for a visit?

    Check this link it explains UTIs and more. I hope you had the chance to check the links on post 114 here also. Antibiotics can have different side-effects and UTI's can cause a lot of damage, so please make sure it's all cleared up. I had one that came back several times and I had to try several antibiotics - now one of my kidneys is not functioning as it should. So always take your body serious.

    Confused
    Normally my period is 34-35 days apart. This month however it was only 26. Usually I have lots of cramping, and get sick to my stomach, but this period had none of the same effects. It was lighter then usual, and seemed to be more liquidy, like mixed with a lot of cervical fluid. It lasted for 8 days. It was gone for about 4 days, then I had light brownish discharge that lasted a couple of hours.I have also been having mild cramps. What does this mean? Is it normal?

    The main issue here is that you forgot to tell us if you had unprotected intercourse at any time where you were vulnerable.. Also, how old are you? When in doubt, see your doctor. Until you get your appointment, please check out the following sites and get educated a bit, it might relieve your anxiety. They also explain about menstrual and spotting problems. Good Luck.

    Thanks for replying
    Sorry, this is the first time I have ever asked for advise online, and I was kind of nervous. I have had unprotected sex a lot this month with my husband.Including during my period, and the day before it started. I do not know when I ovulate, esp since my period was so off this time. I am 21 and I have a 14 month old baby, so I feel embaressed that I don't understand what's going on. I'm just very confused, I've never had one like this before.

    Then please see your doctor as your first option, you need to be reassured that you are OK and not have an infection of any sort. Please keep us posted, and good luck.
    Check out the sites anyway, they give a lot of information.

    Hi everyone
    I posted this yesterday, but don't see it up today.

    Hi... this is my first time posting on here. I have a 2 year old, we had to go to a fertility clinic to conceive (it was on my end for the problems). But everything got straightened out (surgery). Now we are trying again and it is just so different without help. My ovulation was between the 3rd and 7th of this month. Yes, we had intercourse during that time. When I went to the restroom today and wiped, there is a little bit of light pink on it. I am due for AF next week. What do you all think this could be?

    Still wondering
    Do you think that perhaps I could be pregnant again? I was thinking that perhaps I had gotten pregnant during my period and the brownish discharge later was implantaion? My aunt got pregnant during her period, and her mom bled throughout her last pregnancy like clock work, just like her normal period. So I know anything can happen. My temp has stayed at a constant 99 degrees. Do you think that it is a possibility? Or am I looking into it too much.

    Hi and welcome. Some of us do have spotting in the first trimester, and it could mean that you are PG.
    Remember the Golden Rule of WHEN IN DOUBT, ALWAYS SEE YOUR DOCTOR...
    Take a EPT or HPT, even though they might be negative does not mean your not.
    Check out the following sites, they will help you through this a little more to reassure if you are and even if you are not:

    Hi, please check out the links I posted in #139 also. They will help you too. My mom had her period all through her pregnancy with me, and even though this is not usually the norm, it is possible. We are all different. Do a home test, and then always seen your doctor when in doubt. Check the sites, and please keep us posted. Good Luck.

    Hi...
    I was browsing through topics and I found you guys. I totally understand what you are going through right now. I, too, ovulated between the 3rd and 7th. Just yesterday I started getting a light pink discharge with a little brown in it. That is very unusual for me and today(18th) I had a little more. I have already taken about 7 pregnancy tests and they have all been negative. I am distraught over this. My guess is that I'm probably not pregnant because with my other two children I tested positive about a week before my expected period and had no bleeding at all. I know that the waiting is the hardest part about this, but just try. That's all you can do right now. I'm with you... I'm playing the waiting game, too. But soon enough you will know, even if it means going to the doctor for a blood test. Good luck to you. I'd like to hear how it turns out.

    Dear, it's kind of hard to make a diagnosis and/or place your hopes up through the internet. Since you did get help in conceiving, you just might have implantion bleeding, so check out the information in the sites I already posted, and check the 'first trimester' information there. Your chances sound good and I am crossing my fingers for you, more than that, it's up to you and your health, and if you are religious, then include God in this.
    Another site from the Mayo clinic about implantation bleeding is:

    http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/ble...gnancy/PR00087
    I'd also get a test done at the doctor's.

At any rate, keep us posted, and welcome.. I was five months along and the blood test was even negative, so it depends on each one of us as we are different. I did not go to the doctor on purpose, as I was not supposed to get pregnant due to a heart condition, now I have a healthy 29 year old daughter who I'm very proud of.
    P.S. you can start helping yourself by not smoking, drinking, and taking supplemental vitamins just in case... - I'm not implying that you drink or smoke, just a suggestion if you do a little bit...

    Please stop stressing yourself out, it's not good for you or the baby if you are.. read a good book, watch a comedy, and think positive, positive, positive - about other things in life also. Good Luck.
    If you would have read some about the first trimester, you'd know that a little spotting is not dangerous, so please calm down. I know it's easier said than done.. but try.

    Great books
    In the mean time, I would suggest to everyone that they get " what to expect when you are expecting" and " your pregnancy week by week" These are great books to read, even if you are not yet pregnant. They giev you some insight on pre-pregnancy, and you will be able to be read up on everything for when you do get pregnant. That way everything won't come to you as such a surprise, and you'll have a place to go for every day questions. They are awsome books, timeless advice for all your pregnancies, and also make great presents for friends that have just found out they are expecting. Good luck

    Pregnant?
    I just need advice! PLEASE!
    Hubby and I are Trying to conceive and I had my period on 10/24, I have a 29 day cycle, and we had sex on 11/4 and 11/11 on 11/17 I started spotting, only when I wiped, usually a brown or pink color, that lasted 3.5 days then on the 20th nothing, took a HPT and negative, got what I though was my period on the 22nd but it only lasted 1.5 days and was a little lighter than usual, well today, 11/28 I did another HPT and it was negative again.
    Prior to the "period" my boobs were sore, and I never get that, but now they aren't anymore but I am REALLY tired and have headaches. Do you think I am or not?

    Same thing as you all
    I am in the same boat as it sounds like everyone else is. I have taken several pregnancy test all negative. I have all the symptoms and none of the positive *tests that is* I have to wait for my insurance through work to kick in and then it's a blood test for me. If any of you have found any information let me know and I'll do the same... try the ask jeeves web site *implantation bleeding* I found some interesting info through that. Sounds like were all playing the hurry and wait game... OK I think I can be patient a little longer... maybe. I'll keep you all posted if you do the same... maybe we can pool our info and get some answers.

    Hi thiis is my first time writing and I am so happy that I have a support system to go to.I had my last p an the 7/11 and ovulated on the 20/11. Had sex with my husband.third to fourth day experience a thick yellowish brownish discharge.started to think he was cheating, it had no odour and it disappeared with in two days. Went to the doctor and I had no problems. So I decided to find info about early prenancy. I have been trying to get pregnant for so long I now feel as if it will never happen. I am 34yrs. Got pregnant twice when I was 23yrs and missed carried. I have no children and I am on my last few tries. My husband left me 2days aago and for the first time I really feel as if I am pregnant.I am so happy , not because he has left but because I really think I am pregnant for me. I want to be pregnant so bad , I can afford it I have a great job and this will just complete me. I have a appointntment with my doctor this morning for a pregnancy test pray for me. Pray for me because I don't think I will trust anyone to try to get pregnant again. : :) :confused: :
