Well....This is my problem. My last period began on jan. 21st and I think it ended on the 26th. Im irregular!! Yea, it suxs!! But, I had sex on the 31st of jan. Around 5 days after my period. And I really want my baby. I dont know if I might be pregnant because im irregular. And ive been having some pregnancy symptoms and its barely 2 weeks after having sex. Ive been having nausia, bloating, cravings, tender brest, and I think I had implantation bleeding. I had like, a stain and it look pinkish and I though "what? My period again?" because thats the type of color that I get before my period comes. Oh and ive had period-like crampings. And I think ive had more symptoms. I just cant remember them. Lol. But yea, I need some!!! Thanks alot!! :) :? :?

My symptoms are sorta the same..Ive been reading alot about the symptoms and it sounds like id go to the doctors and get a blood test. Im pretty much in a similar situation except im 19 lol but I usually would have sex everyday so I have absolutly no clue when it happend. But ive been bloated,fatigued, irritable,my breast hurt sooo bad and they are swollen and much larger cuz my bras are sorta tight. I am also irregular but I usually get my period around the end of the month but it jumps around. I havent had the implantation bleeding but you dont always get it. I havent been too nausous but ive had horrible cramps. I took a test and it turned up negative but like I said who knows when and if I got pregnant. Lol (i also really wouldnt mind having a child I love children). I know I havnet helped but its always nice to know someone in your shoes. Let me know what happens!

Thanks
Well, thanks alot. Actually, its kind of good to know that someone else is in my situation. And yea, hopefully we do end up preggy. Oh yea, yesterday, I had sex with my b/f and im still in my "period". My b/f said that he dosent think its really my normal period cuz usually, you know how your period is heavy? Mine is like, normal blood. I dont really know how to explain it. He says that the blood feels like if its mixed with some other sort of liquid. That its smooth. And usually, the normal period is all hard and heavy you know? Especially for irregular. But yea, I hope that its not my real period. I really want to turn out pregnant. :|

Ya like its thin right? Is it lighter then usual? Cuz when I get mine its like super heavy the first day in a half then its just like normal but is it at all like that? It could possibily be implantation bleeding. Ya I really want a child. I know that they cost alot and this and that but ya know there are so many programs to help us that that really isnt a problem these days. Ive researched it too lol. Ya I hope for the best for the both of us!

Well with the blood test you dont have to wait till youve missed your period. My period is due this upcoming week and I really hope I dont get it. My boyfriend wants the total opposite. He doesnt want me to be pregnant and even asked about an abortion, which I am pro-choice but I have no reason to have one. Anyways yes thanks and I really hope I am!! Im crossing my fingers!!

Well im not pregnant. Atleast not anymore. What happend was that I was because of the symptoms I was showing but the embyro didnt stick to my uterine wall sooo its not really a miscarriage cuz the baby wasnt forming but thats kinda what it was. :( im starting birth control this weekend because my boyfriend and I arent ready. (i got my hopes up but I know he doesnt/isnt ready for a child) anyways I hope you still are pregnant!

Me 2!!
Im in the same boat as. I have had all the symptoms as pregnancy but they are so similar to your period.

I have had sex a lot since my period ended around the 20th in jan. And a week or so after I had bloating, cramps and tender and swollen breasts/nipples. And that went away for a few...Then 3 weeks ago all the prego symptoms came back...And I got myperiod this week. But I am not on bc or use condoms but I have an irregular cycle. Idk if I am pregnant, my boobs seem fuller and hurt. My flow is lighter then usual but my cramps this time were really bad. Idk im going to wait but I hope I am prego.

It's called a chemical pregnancy and it happens a lot. Most of the time women don't even know it happened, they just think their period was a little late. So I guess it's not really considered a miscarriage.

Good luck to you all.

If you've read some of my earlier posts i've been saying I knew I was pregnant for the past few weeks and I just missed my period and got my positive result a week ago. I just knew, I felt different. I also had a lot of signs early on, from conception I would say. So good luck and I hope you get what you want.

Yea....
Thats what I feel. Oh, how did u feel before you got ur possitive test? Like, you just felt it or did u have the signs of pregnancy? And yea, I hope so. Because before, the 1st time we tried to get pregnant, I wasent really sure if I was or not. In my mind, I was like whatevers about it. I was thinking about the possibility of me not being pregnant. My b/f kept telling me "think possitive" but I couldnt. I would always think that I might not have been. But now, this time, I feel it. Im pretty sure I might be. I hope so. And I was ready about the "chemical pregnancy" that that happens after you miss you period or a sign that thats happening is that your period is longer than usual. Mine was shorter than usual. I think its that what the doctor calls a "fake menstration". Hopefully.

How long have you been trying? I think people think it's easy but it's really hard. It took me 8 months of trying before I got pregnant, then I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks. After another 4 months of trying, i'm now 5 weeks. Let's pray this one sticks.

What I did differently this last month was drink *a ton* of orange juice (for the folic acid) and lay on my stomach after sex (instead of my back, which is what I usually did). I don't know if these things helped but it is what I did differently and now i'm pregnant. :)

starting about 3 days after ovulation I started feeling these twinges in my lower abdomen on one side. After a few days it spread to my entire lower abdomen. Then after about a week it turned into a sharp throb that happened frequently but didn't last for more than a few seconds. I think this was implantation.

I also started having these crazy vivid dreams. I'd wake up confused or later in the day think back on something that I thought had really happened and then realize it was a dream. I'm still having those and I wish it would stop.

I also had dizzy spells/light headedness, increased hunger, sore throat, was thirsty a lot, no sex drive at all, fatigued... I think that's about it.

From all of that I just knew that I was pregnant and when I tested a few days before my period was due I got an extremely faint line (almost invisible). I tested every day after that and it got a little darker. Then I skipped 2 days and when it was officially 5 days past my missed period I got a line that couldn't have been any darker. I'm thrilled but scared because of my prior miscarriage.

So I hope this helped (sorry it's a novel!). Has your "period" ended? If so, you can test. Let me know what happens! Good luck!

Oh! One more and I can't believe I forgot this as it was absolutely horrible. Thank god it's died down a bit (but not gone completely) but I had the worst gas. I could've cleared a room it was so bad. And it was only at night (when my fiance was asleep which was great for his sake!). Tmi? Maybe but i'm trying to help.

1 Month...
Well, me and my b/f have bearly been trying for about a month now. And well, it only takes some couples the 1st time to get pregnant. And yea, my "period" has ended. But im scared to get a possitive. I have decided to test next week either tuesday or friday. And well yea, ive been feeling that too. Ive been really thirsty too, ive been really sleepy, really tired, ive been really moody and emotional, I go to the bathroom often, my breat were sore (not anymore), I would get dizzy, light headed all the time and I get headaches too, ive been really hungry. I didnt use to eat in the morning and now, I get really hungry in the mornings. I have sore throat right right now, and I get discusted at some of the food. And ive also had gases at night too!!! Lol. But its not every night. Some nights and their the same as yours.Lol. And if I dont get pregnant, ill do the same thing you did. I will drink orange juice and ill lay on my stomach after sex. And ive also been drinking alot of water lately.
