can af visit while you are pg?

[merrylissiemas]

?

[colditz]

No. Not unless you have two wombs.

[scatterbrain]

Technically not - but there are plenty of tales of women who have had a monthly bleed (light) throughout their pregnancies.

[ShowOfHands]

Hey lissie!

Not actual af, but you can bleed at the times you would have had af and think it's just a normal period iyswim. Quite common and why some people don't realise they are pregnant.

How's you? What's new? (was called LetItShnowLetItShnow etc for Christmas in case you think it's a random mad woman harrassing you).

[merrylissiemas]

thru dec i had all the signs of being pg, then on xmas day af arrived, stayed 3 days then stopped. still got all the signs, veiny big boobs, sick etc, had no clots in af, it was just liquid did a pg test last night and was v faint bfp, same for this morning. dont know what to think

[merrylissiemas]

feel v sick, still cant handle coffe. had 2 drinks on nye and felt ill.... apart from that good how are you?

[scatterbrain]

Go to the GP - blood test would prove either way and you need to rule out anything untoward like an ectopic !

Good Luck.

[ShowOfHands]

Oh I'm great [sarcastic]

Back at work and being grumpy about it. Everybody else took the rest of this week off because 'ShowOfHands is pregnant, she won't be drinking and celebrating so she can come to work'.

Bugger 'em, I'm MNing aaalllll day.

You know you have to go the GP don't you? Don't put it off, get down there, find out and come back and tell us. It could be implantation. Only one way to find out.



Doctors lissie, phone now.

[merrylissiemas]

ah, already done. got appt at 2.40

[paulaplumpbottom]

My sister bled a little at her usual time of the month with all of her pregnancys. She has 4 healthy children. Ask your doctor

[lissielou]

right, off now. feel weird. v sick etc. dont want to get my hopes up tho

[fruitful]

I bled with dd, a few days after when my period would have been. It was pretty much the same as a light period. The docs stressed me out with talk of ectopic and miscarriage. Had a scan but was only 5 weeks and they couldn't tell. Another scan at 7 weeks found the heartbeat, and dd is now 4.5. The 2-week wait was grim though.

Good luck!

[ipodthereforipoor]

yep hence I was 22wks with DS when I finally twigged all was not well in the world of iPod

[ShowOfHands]

Ooh good luck lissie.

Come straight back and update.

[lissielou]

well, doc did a test which looked like a bfp then faded. so got to wait 2w but so sick and boobs are HUGE

[ShowOfHands]

Bugger.

Still, if it looked BFP it was picking up on something. All of the early tests I did were faint BFP and then faded to nothing. Got stronger over time though.

Keep us updated, waiting's such a PITA.

[lissielou]

still feel pg, just ordered some digital tests so should know 1 way or another soon
