Q: Strange Bleeding. Could I Still Be Preggo???

I am not yet sure if I am pregnant. My last af started dec 25. My dh and I tried almost everyday before, during and after my fertile days to conceive. My af should have started jan 22nd (28 day cycle). I had nothing until the 24th when I started having cramping like my period was here. Kept running to bathroom thinking for sure that it was time.
*by the 25th I was having just a bit of pink when wiping and still bad cramps.
*26th - heavier flow (bright red / orange in color - almost neon) and had major night sweats (soaked my bed sheets and had to sleep on the couch).
*27th...Started off with heavy flow and ended not even needing a tampon.
*28th...Still bad cramping...But no bleeding at all. Started bleeding later in the day (needed tampon) and then stopped completely again by night. Unusually tired and very strong frequent urges to pee...But very little comes! Started to have pain in lower ab muscles and back. Mostly when I stretch or cough or laugh.
*today I just have light red/brown spotting (only very little when wiping).

This is my first time ttc (i have endometriosis...But have had surgery 2 years ago). My periods are always very heavy and extremely painful. This time...Cramps have been rather mild compared to usual. I am really hoping that im prego...But has anyone had sore abs and back (seems mostly like muscle pain)?

Thanks for the help folks! I can't wait till pay day so I can get a hpt!!!

Hi folks! I'm a little discouraged here 'cause no one has even responded to this post. I had spotting on and off yesterday and no bleeding at all today. I still have af type cramps and my right bb started having painful twinges in the nipple. I can't believe how early I have been going to sleep! I am a night owl 'cause I was accustomed to working a late shift at work. I'm usually awake until 3 or 4 am and sleep in until 10 or 11...And still i'm forcing myself to sleep usually out of necessity more than actual fatigue. Last three nights I feel tired all day and then finally crash by 11:30-12:00...And I still sleep until 11 and feel tired when I wake up!!! My eyes have been sore (like when you have a cold) and i've had runny nose since yesterday (kinda stuffed up too). Someone out there must have experienced this.

Come on people this is my first time ttc! Can someone give me some kind of feedback or hope?????? My fiancee doesn't want to talk about it just yet so that he doesn't get his hopes up....And I don't want my family to know until after (i like the element of surprise). I am not looking for advice...I just want to know if you or anyone you know has gone through this and still ended up preggo!!!!!!!

Thanks again!
Baby dust to y'all!

Thanks! I'm going to buy a hpt tomorrow. So...I'll probably test the next morning for best chances of getting a bfp. You never know...Might buy two and test tomorrow 'cause I really can't wait to find out! I'll post here as soon as I can. I know that there is a chance that I could have bfn even if I am pregnant...So i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's bfp so I don't have to wait until I see a doctor to find out for sure. Thanks again! Baby dust all around!!! :d

Hi! I went ahead and took a hpt this evening. Had a very, very, very faint (almost non-existent) positive. I had to ask my dh to check just to be sure I wasn't imagining it. It took several minutes to even appear. I'm gonna give it several days and test first thing in the morning to be sure. I just know I have to be pregnant 'cause I have never had swollen or sore nipples/bb's in my life (they have been very noticably swollen as of last night)...And this is my first time actually trying to conceive. Anyway...I'll post again as soon as I take my next test. I wish the results were more obvious. :(
i'm just getting sooo excited...I hope i'm not setting myself up for major disappointment. I really don't think that the case though. Only time will tell.

Girl...My 1st 2 were very faint. I went to walgreens and asked the lady in the pharmacy and she said honey the line wouldn't show if it didn't detect the hormone. After that I waited a week, went and got 2 more and sure enough.....

The first time I got the one that made a plus...The second time I got the one that would be 1 line for no, and 2 lines for yes. My this time...The lines were extreemely noticible!!

I don't want to get your hopes up just for you to be let down. I will send you baby dust and wish you the best of luck. Your story just soinds very familiar to mine.. :wink:

Sorry This Is Late

Well I don't usually fet on here to read these forums unless I have my own question, and I came across yours, and from my own personal experiance I know that a faint positive is better than a negitive, I had 3 faint pos. 2 invalid, but no negs and I was indeed prego and now I am 13 weeks... And I am hoping that by this being a bit late, that you can let me know if you are actually pregnant? And if not, I am sorry and if you are still ttc, I wish you all the best!

Wow...You're right...It's been a while (about 2 months) since I posted this....But that's okay. I ended up having a miscarriage. So yes...I was preggo...But unfortunately...It did not last too long. I think that's why the lines were so faint...Must have been a .V.E.R.Y low hcg level. So...I'm ttc again and hopin' for the best!! :)
thanks for the post.
