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?

Will you try again tomorrow?

CP3 · 28/08/2004 09:58

Well chaps its not me. Just done an early test and was a bfn. Strange cos the smell thing is affecting me but i always test + with the early ones so definatley not. Gotta be Nutty or Scared stupid then. Ohhh im excited for you

fisil · 28/08/2004 09:34

I am soooo excited and nervous all at the same time. Nutty and CP3, any news yet? Scaredstupid, all those symptoms sound very positive. I'd forgotten about the smell thing - then we went into central London this week and everyone/thing on the train and station were sooooo stinky!

I'm out most of the day so won't be able to check. Can't wait to hear your news.

Scaredstupid · 28/08/2004 09:02

Am feeling sick with nerves as well... Hope all goes well for you. Hoping for a +. I was thinking that I can't possibly be pg as I don't feel sick but I can smell things that dh swears don't have an odour so maybe it is still early days. My boobs are so sore that I can barely stand to be in the shower so that would suggest that I must be ... Ooooh the head games.I think that I will get an early test too as ds2 is the result of an early '-' that made me distraught! Stay here to stay informed.
Nutcracker, how are you feeling this morning? Any sign of AF. Totally off topic: I looked at the pictures of your house and it was great to be able to put faces to you and your children. Strange how you build up an idea of how people on mumsnet might look as you see their nicknames.

CP3 · 28/08/2004 07:37

Well im due today!!!!! Cant test though as too nervous and test says to wait till a day late, may go get an early test though as i feel sick with nerves. No sign of af but i dont feel preggers either.

Scaredstupid · 27/08/2004 23:43

CP3 I hope that the + test goes to you and/or Nutcracker. I suspect that I shall be getting one as well though. Only 4 more sleeps...

CP3 · 27/08/2004 15:17

Afternoon everyone! Good luck Mommy d, we all know what you will be doing over the next month

Nutty we only have one day to go, i have non pg symptoms and no af symptoms. Im normally bloated by now but nothing so dont know what to think, so i thinking im not.

SS not long to go for you either, i hope it all works out for you, you certainly sound like you have the symptoms. There is only you me and Nutty to go now so one of us must have a + test

nutcracker · 27/08/2004 15:05

Hello all

Glad to hear your good news mommyD

Hope everyone is well today.
I had lots of back and stomach cramps last night and i think AF will be arriving in the next couple of days.
Will probably still test tommorow morning if it hasn't arrived by then.

Loads of luck to you SS, keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you.

Scaredstupid · 27/08/2004 14:20

Thanks MommyD. I have disclosed very little about my current situation for fear of revealing my true identity. I will 'reveal' and humiliate myself on Tuesday. The timing would be rather awkward as we are also currently moving overseas and will have no medical coverage for 'pre-existing conditions' so I have many reasons for my choice of chat-name. heavy on the STUPID part!

MommyD · 27/08/2004 12:17

oh scaredstupid, I am sorry - I understand your chatname now. What a worry for you.

Scaredstupid · 27/08/2004 10:51

I've only had one. (Unusual for me as following my last 2 mc I had 2 1/2 months to wait and worry about when AF might make an appearance.) My dh is very good at predicting these things but I have given him ample chances as this would be my 7th pregnancy in 8 years! He couldn't really be far off the mark. LOL now!

fisil · 27/08/2004 10:39

Fingers crossed, scaredstupid! In my experience DP's are generally fairly good at diagnosing pg! After my mc my periods came back totally text book - have yours been less reliable?

Scaredstupid · 27/08/2004 10:36

Uncertain... I could be pg or expecting AF. I have sore boobs and mild cramps and dh is very good at reminding me that this only happens when I am pg and in denial. I usually only get cramps on day 1 but everything is different following a miscarriage so who knows? I will test on Tuesday if AF has not made an appearance.

MommyD · 27/08/2004 10:28

scaredstupid - your af was due yesterday, wasn't it. How are you feeling?

Scaredstupid · 27/08/2004 10:13

fisil: Sorry for making it sound so intriguing; I was not trying to be mysterious. I intend to test on Tuesday morning because I have a follow up appt at the hospital to find out the results of all the tests taken following my (third) miscarriage. I would hold off on the test but I would feel a bit silly asking paranoid questions about 'a possible pregnancy'. Make sense?
MommyD that is great news! I will sprinkle baby dust for you in October.
Nutcracker and CP3 are you out there? Any news? Any new symptoms?
Oops! I nearly posted with my 'real name' again. I must have pg brain...

MommyD · 27/08/2004 09:47

Thanks fisil - it took us 6 months to conceive #1 and 1 month to conceive #2, so if I am VERY lucky I will be pg before Christmas which would be fab. Can't imagime a Christmas with alcohol - the last 3 I have either been pg or bf!

fisil · 27/08/2004 09:31

Good news, and good luck!

MommyD · 27/08/2004 09:20

Morning MNetters! Hope you are all feeling lousy this morning and that AF hasn't arrived before breakfast - IYSWIM????
Talked about baby #3 with dh last night and we have decided to start trying in October! Yippee. Gives me some time to get used to the idea, take folic acid and all that. My youngest will be 13 months when we start trying....
I am getting excited at the prospect of completing our family... Three is enough for me (unless of course we strike it lucky with twins!)

fisil · 27/08/2004 08:17

what interesting questions, scaredstupid? I am intrigued.

That's 5 more sleeps for you - 10 more sleeps for me (I'd forgotten what a tiring business pg can be!)

Scaredstupid · 26/08/2004 18:21

Oh no! Nutcracker! You also gave in and tested? I was sure that you were more reliable than that. I am sorry that it was a BFN. Are you crushed? I would be/will be on Tuesday.
Not sure what I want now... Argh. If nutcracker, CP3 and MommyD are not expecting with all the listed symptoms perhaps I shouldn't even worry about it anymore. If you all aren't and I am I will know that there is no justice.
Am still feeling crampy and have sore boobs which realy never happens to me with PMT so I am confused.
Fisil I am so happy for you! I will continue to follow your story as well. 5 more sleeps until I have answers to some interesting questions...

MommyD · 26/08/2004 17:35

Oh yes.... we weren't actually trying to get pregnant this month and were going to leave it until our youngest is a bit older. However, I was really getting used to the idea of being pregnant again and having another one. I think I will talk about it with dh over a bottle of wine tonight....
I will hang around this thread a bit longer - I am sure some of you will strike it lucky! I might have stacked the odds in your favour.... after all, WE CAN'T ALL BE WRONG CAN WE?

nutcracker · 26/08/2004 17:20

Sorry to hear that MommyD

CP3 · 26/08/2004 17:15

Sorry Mommyd, do you think youll try again??

fisil · 26/08/2004 17:13

Will you keep on trying?

MommyD · 26/08/2004 17:08

Hi all.... AF arrived today rather late, painful and heavy. I had got my hopes up rather a lot that I might be pregnant. It's very strange - I had 'symptoms' that I don't normally have before AF. I felt very nauseous for a whole week, was hot and clammy at night (both like my last pregnancies) I kept getting twingey pains and went off certain smells. I am NOT pregnant however. The only thing that I didn't have was that heavy, strange, 'I'm pregnant' feeling in my boobs.
Just shows, as I have had these symptoms this month (and haven't had them before) I won't have a clue when I really do get pregnant again.
Good luck all! x x
