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

YES, you can have light bleeding and be pregnant! Here is my story:) My last period was March 12, usually I have a 35 day cycle but it has gone up to 52 days. On April 15 ( 35 day cycle) I did a pregnancy test..it was negative. On April 18 I took another urine pregnancy test..negative. On the 19 I had small cramps, few drops of brown blood. 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]

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..

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.

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?

[Sarita31]

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

[lmcgough]

: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

[Sarita31]

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.

[Sarita31]

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

[Naomi]

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?

[Sarita31]

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.
