implantation bleeds and stuff

You do know me, it's just that I don't feel ready to talk about any pg issues openly yet - this soon after my mc I feel uncharacteristically reticent!

Since my last period we suddenly got broody, after having said we'd wait some time. So we did the tests, worked out my dates and did the deed last Saturday.

Now, I am not sure exactly when my last period started, but I would expect my next one to be 14 days after ovulation - surely whatever the length of your cycle, it is always 14 days after ovulation? So a bit of bleeding (stringy brown bits) yesterday - is that an implantation bleed? Is an implantation bleed usually accompanied by lower back period type pains? Or is all this in my head?

Or have I made a mistake.

Are you SS canadianmom ??

nutcracker · 29/08/2004 20:58

I think you've done a Nutty

Canadianmom · 29/08/2004 20:57

Meant to answer that the cocodymol must be relatively safe as I took it with DS1 before I knew that implantation could be as painful as menstrual cramps and he turned out OK... I think that the advice is generally to avoid all medication but the number of sins committed before people know that they are pg are astounding! In your position I would hold off on taking more as the guilt and ensuing worry would likely do more harm than the meds themselves (if you know what I mean)!

Canadianmom · 29/08/2004 20:54

I am feeling exhausted but I was up far too late and had a long/kind of sad day...I still have very sore boobs (never had that before AF) and mild cramps (also only usually happens on day 1). Who knows? The mind games are a rare form of torture really.
I hope that you either get AF or some obvious symptoms soon. If you do get AF do you think that you might really try for a fourth?

nutcracker · 29/08/2004 20:49

Blimey, it is possible then.

I think it's just that I usually get a posotive early on. I do have to wee alot at the mo but can't remember if that usually happens when AF is due anyway.

Oh does anyone know wether you can take Codydromol when pregnant ??? I have already taken them as I thought af had arrived but am a bit worried incase there is the faint chance i am pregnant.

nutcracker · 29/08/2004 20:46

Hi SS. I think it's really doubtfull that i'm pregnant tbh, as i now have no symptoms at all.

I was really nervous that i might be pregnant but i know that if i was it would have all worked out fine.
It's just horrible to think i may never have any more kids. Sounds quite selfish when i have 3 already but i'm just not sure i'm ready to give it all up just yet iykwim.

Am wishing you loads of luck for Tuesday, how are you feeling ??

popsycal · 29/08/2004 20:44

baby number 2 is the result of 3 false negatives......

Scaredstupid · 29/08/2004 20:42

Nutcracker, DS2 is the result of an early false negative... Could you have tested too early? I am sorry that you are disappointed. I can imagine how you must be feeling. It is odd how your mind works when you think that you might be pg. Now I am nervous about Tuesday...

nutcracker · 29/08/2004 19:43

O.k I am dissapointed, more than i expected to be actually

Scaredstupid · 29/08/2004 19:11

CP3 White trousers are usually a guaranteed visit from AF. I am still hoping that you have messed up the dates and will not have AF for at least another year! Sorry that you are feeling blue.
I am also feeling sad and mooody so am wondering if it is PMT?
Nutcracker, Sorry about the BFN. How are you feeling? Any sign of AF? Is is possible that you have tested too early?
Fisil, You started the thread and are so far the only one with a BFP. Any words of wisdom? How are you feeling today.

nutcracker · 29/08/2004 18:50

Oh sorry to hear you are feeling down Charlie.
I am not too bad, had a bit of a wooble when my friend called to say her sister had just had a little girl called Libby (one of my fave girls names).

I'm quite luck i suppose in that I have college to concentrate on aswell, so I haven't had that much time to think about it really.

fisil · 29/08/2004 18:50

LOL at the white tracky bottoms!

CP3 · 29/08/2004 18:46

Bad sp mistakes cos of nails. Hiya Nutty

CP3 · 29/08/2004 18:44

SS, im so miserable today, dont know if because of the bfn or cos period due. Also cant stop eating and snapping at everyone. I was fine till i saw alittle baby boy at work this morning. I am very tired though as Ds woke at 5, si iget snappy if tired.

Am keeping my fingers crossed for you and Nutty, also decieded to go to gym in white tracky bottome to see if that will bring af on.

nutcracker · 29/08/2004 18:43

Hello, sorry been out all day again.

Right tested this morning again and BFN, still no AF though, so i think i'm gonna be having a 34/35 day cycle this mth which does ocasionally happen.

So it must be SS

Scaredstupid · 29/08/2004 18:36

Hsd friends round today with their adorable baby. They are expecting an 'accidental' second db and their ds will only be 13 months when baby arrives. Eek! I certainly do not envy them. I am not tempted to test today as I find the price of the test is enough to help me resist the possibility of a false negative. Still no AF and very sore boobs continue so perhaps I really am pg. I am still not sure what will be more of a shock/disappointment a BFN or a BFP.
I was finding it hard not to be jealous of my friend's lovely bump and thinking that I should also be due in 3 months... Who knows?

CP3 · 29/08/2004 16:31

Fisil,i was thinking the same thing, god knows where Nutty is, she must have tested by now and Ss not due till tue i think.

How are you feeling anyway?

fisil · 29/08/2004 16:16

I can't stand the tension! Any news this afternoon from anyone?

CP3 · 29/08/2004 13:05

Thanx Nutty for e mail, was waiting with baited breath all day. Still no af for me either but def a neg test so just gonna be late i think. Im a bit disapointed today

So its down to you if not Nutty scaredstupid. How you doing today, been tempted yet?????

Scaredstupid · 29/08/2004 01:38

CP3 I saw the test today in Boots (triple points...) but I resisted the urge as I know that I would test before Tuesday if they were sitting here. The funny thing is that it is far more economical to buy more that one but everytime I have ever bought a 'multi-pack' the first test is + and I end up losing the others before the next pregnancy. Don't want to jinx myself by buying more than one actually!

Scaredstupid · 29/08/2004 01:34

nutcracker: Thanks for keeping us informed! Well done for holding off. I am still up at 1:32 trying to prove to myself that I cannot possibly be pg or i would have to be in bed by now. Am still not convinced. I am such a newbie nobody that you likely won't ever have heard of me... Stop trying to guess.

nutcracker · 28/08/2004 21:54

Sorry i've left you in suspense all day.

In the end i didn't even test this morning as I was certain I would get AF today as i've had bad stomach cramps. Anyway AF hasn't arrived yet so I will test in the morning.

My cycles do vary between 30 and 34 days though and am only day 31 today so i could be testing too early.

Will let you know tommorow.

Have emailed you CP

Ss - Still have fingers crossed for you. Glad you like the piccies. I am still racking my brains trying to think who you are, but i am crap at things like that so i'll never guess.

CP3 · 28/08/2004 10:32

I got a first response one from sainsburys, says you can teat as ealy as 3 days before you are due. Yes too bloody expensive!!!! I will do early morning test tomorrow but i usually do test + on the day im due which im sure is around today. There could be a mix up as i have problems with bleeding but i know when i ovulated so i very much doubt it.

Wheres Nutty? Maybe she got a + and has passed out on the bathroom floor

Scaredstupid · 28/08/2004 10:22

Oh! CP3 I'm sorry. Is there any chance that your dates are a bit mixed up? I am impressed that you are not more disappointed. When will you use the second test? Where did you buy the early ones? Did they cost a fortune? I will go into shock if I am pg but I would also be surprised to see a BFN.
Fisil: The sense of smell thing is killer in London. I have to live here and everything really does stink when you are pg. How are you feeling this morning?

CP3 · 28/08/2004 10:07

May as well as it was a two test one. I dont feel upset actually which im surprised at, but then again my sil has just fallen pregnant and id like her to have the attention for a change iyswim.

Im excited for Nutty and scared stupid though.
