    Confused
    Okay, I know this site doesn't believe in implantation bleeding, but this is what I had

    My lmp (last menstral period) was on November 20. I was likely fertile around the dec 1-6. during those days, I had unprotected sex. Then on dec 11, I had a glob like jelly fall out of my vagina when I wiped. I rewiped not knowing what it was, and a little bit of brown discharge came out. Then nothing else. I figured that would be when implantation would have occurred, if I had gotten pregnant this cycle. Since then I had pregnancy like symptoms, no discharge came around the time that my period was due. I had nothing. My last period was due on dec 18. On dec 25, I cut my hand bladly on an exacto knife, and had to go the hospital where I had to get stitches. I was really stressed, and I asked them for a blood pregnancy test.

    I had before completed 7 hpt, and 3 were positives, and 4 were negatives. The negatives were done before my actual period was expected. The 3 positives were done after, but they were extremely light. I got my result at the hospital of having a low pregnancy hormoan so they concluded that I wasn't pregnant. This happened with my last pregnancy and it turned out that I had indeed been pregnant. I still feel pregnant even though negative test.

    Now at 12 days late for my period, I am having brown discharge. No red blood at all. Could this be my period, could I be having a miscarriage, or could I still be pregnant with low pregnancy hormoan. Should I be concerned?

    Also the pregnancy symptoms I had been experiencing were.

    Getting really dizzy in the shower, lower back pain, feeling like I was going to be sick after I ate something, and wakeing up in the morning, and going to bed at night. I have had heartburn, sore breasts, moody when it comes towards food, craving salty foods like chips, having a metallic taste in my mouth, missing a period, a bit of constipation, feeling like I have to go pee all the time. And more.



    Should I be concerned about this, or is it a period. Should I go and get some supplies now?

    Let me start by saying that it is not the site that does not believe in implantation bleeding. Many do, however, there is no real literature to prove that it does exist. If you read my sticky many studies have not proven that it does exist. You can research medscape.com for more info on the studies.

    Typically women who believe they are having "implantation bleeding" have conceived so close to their periods that there is not enough hormone to stop the bleeding completely, so there is a little discharge. This has nothing to do with implantation, but more to do with levels of hcg hormone in the body at the time of the "bleeding."

    Many of the symptoms you list do not come early in pregnancy, i.e. heartburn (that comes later when the baby is growing and there is pressure on internal organs of digestion), frequent urination (that comes later also as the growth of the baby inhibits the stretching of the bladder, therefore making the bladder feel fuller when in fact it has little urine in it), cravings usually come later too.

    What you should do is make an appointment with your gunecologist to have another test done as well as a complete physical examination and maybe an ultrasound.

    I agree with everything you said J9 excpet for the heartburn and urination.I had heartburn within weeks of a positive test with this pregnancy, and frequent urination from about that point on as well. I was told that the frequent urination had something to do with my hormones causing my bladder to feel the sensation to pee more often then I really needed to. I do not know if this is the case with Hottiex24u, but I did just want to say that it is possible to have these side effects early on.

    Buggage, while it does happen, it is not typical. When I post my answers I have to post general answers since I have not been able to do a complete history and physical exam on the person that I am answering.

    There are always many variables, but to be mostly correct I have to give general answers.
