Is It Possible I'm Pregnant??
Posted: 10-20-04 01:08am

I am a 29 yr old mother of 1 little boy age 7. I haven't been pregnant for 7 yrs., and i've been trying for 7 years. My cycle, is the kind of thing that comes and goes alot. For example: one year i'll have it, and the next year I won't, and so on. Well, anyway, about 5 months ago I started, which took me by surprise as it always does. Anyway, last month, was a really, really, bad month for me. My period was flowing so hard, and I was changing a pad, every hour. I must of went through 15 pads, in just one day, then afterwards, it went over the 7th day, it went up to about 10th days instead. Now, my husband and I have been sexually active the past week, and usually I start anywhere between the 16th and the 17th. Now I know its kinda early to really tell, but it's been 7 yrs. Since i've had one, and when I had gotten pregnant with my son, I had been drinking alot, and didn't know till I was about 3 months along, and I felt so bad, after I found out, that I thought I hurt my son, and I didn't really feel anything, like any signs, all I remember is my third month, I couldn't keep anything down, wound up at the doctors, and he took a pregnancy test, and came back positive three days later.
See. I don't remember a whole lot, I feel like a kid who forgot how to ride his/her bike, and I know they say you never forget, but it's been 7 yrs. Embarassed I know I should remember, but I don't. I've been having a sign, but i'm not sure if its possible or not. I've been feeling nausea, the past three days now, and i've been having gas and bloating, and have been feeling some pain, like stretching on my lower left side, towards my pelvic, that comes and goes, every now and again.
I've also been running a very small fever, but not really too high, have been getting cold and hot flashes too. Whats the normal temperature, when your pregnant? Mine is close to the 100 mark. I've also been experiencing, alot of back pain, alot more than normal. The gas is like my biggest problem, i'm not sure if thats a sign or not, but i've tried looking it up in the search engine, and came up blank, just usually, the top 10 signs of pregnancy. 1) fatigue 2) breast enlargement 3) nausea& vomiting 4) frequent urination 5) sensitivity to odor 6) implantation bleeding 7) food cravings Cool a missed period 9) back pain 10) . Please help me!!

I am a little lost.... But actually, I read somewhere that if your bleeding like the way you said you were last month, going through a pad every hour.. Thats a sign of miscarriage.

Dont quote me on that, but thats just wat I read... Other then that, I got a little confused about what your asking for.. You could possibly be pregnant... You said u had sex the 16th and 17th? I'd say wait about 14 days and take a test, or schedule for a blood test.

Well, just wanted to let you know, i'm not sure if it was a miscarriage, because the truth is I had my period the week before that, and wouldn't that mean, that I wouldn't have a period the week before that too? It just seems like every morning, i've been feeling really nausea, but right after I eat i'm fine. Just to make you a little bit less confused, i'll explain in detail about what my bodies been doing, couldn't do it on the last subject, they didn't give enough space to say it all, and they cut it off. Anyways, I usually have a period on the 16th or 17th of every month, but right now i'm late. I've been having cravings for ice cream, and getting nausea every morning, but no vomiting yet. I've been taking multi-vitamins, so no constipation as of yet. I figured since, i'm on daily vitamins it might not make me have constipation, but i've been on daily vitamins, for about five years now. Well, just been having gas it seems like everyday, and not just every now and again, its almost like constantly, didn't know, if this might be a sign of pregnancy or not. Been feeling alot of tightening in my stomach, and some stabbing pains in my lower left side, near my pelvic bone. The pain only comes every now and again.
Now, I haven't had a kid in 7 years and i'm not sure about all of the signs your supposed to get, that makes it easier to tell, if your pregnant or not, but I have noticed dark blue veins running through my breasts, and alot more bumps than usual, and the inner section of the breast, i've noticed is alot darker and bigger. I just hope I haven't gotten my hopes up so high, that it comes as a disappointment. I don't want to do that, but I have noticed myself, eating alot more. I'm not sure if thats stress or not.
I have prayed to the good lord everyday, to bare me with another child, because i've been waiting patiently to have another child, I feel, like the lords still not ready to give me another child, just yet, and I figured he knows when the right time for me, to bare another child is. I just feel sometimes, like i'm running out of time, and my bodies been through so much trauma as a kid, and as an adult, if anyone knows, what i'm talking about, when I say trauma, then i'm sure you'll understand what I mean.
Please let me know, if you think this is all in my head, or just wanting it so bad to happen, i'm making these things happen to myself. Confused Confused Confused Confused
