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?

MommyD, even though you are late why dont you try an early predictor test in case you have your dates mixed up????

MommyD · 24/08/2004 10:12

Will be on and off all day....
Good luck at 2pm - let us know how you get on.

CP3 · 24/08/2004 10:07

Hiya MommyD. I think two days late should come up as a posotive but as you said it was a poor wee sample. On the could i be pregnant thread a lady only gets posotives a week after she is late. I knew muine would be neg as tested way too early but i have no patience. I got strange twingy pains yesterday but def not period pains. Plus i didnt bleed after the gym which is quite common with me.

Will you be on later and i can let you know if my scan shows anything?

MommyD · 24/08/2004 10:00

Good time to butt in here - I'm undercover and probably about to blow it too.
AF is 2 days late (I am never late) and I feel very nauseous all the time.
Anyone keep coming over all hot and clammy when pregnant? I keep getting strange twingey pains down below, oh and period pains on and off for the last week. I usually only get them on day 1.
I took a test yesterday and it was -ve. I had very little wee when I did the test and it was an hour after my last wee - would this affect the result?
dh away now until the weekend so I am not going to test until then. Instead I am going to hang around this thread, shiftily until I accidentally blow it! Who knows, there may actually only about 8 of us that use Mumsnet - we each have a trillion different usernames!

OH MY GOD IVe DONE A Nutty!!!!!!!!

Oh well, tests arrived and was a bfn, BUT it does say to test till im a day late and i have 5 days to go till im late.

CP3 · 24/08/2004 07:47

Will def find out today, even if tests dont arrive im booked in for a scan at Hospital at 2 o,clock. I phoned and said i may be pregnant and was told to keep my appointment and the doc would decide then wether to proceed or not.

The scan is for something different but gynae related, this is huge clue to my identity as discussed it on Mn.

fisil · 23/08/2004 22:25

tltw - that sounds really exciting! Fingers crossed. When will you test - as soon as they arrive?

twolongtwoweeks · 23/08/2004 16:24

Wierd thing this morning. I woke up with a completely flat stomach. I was so pleased as not been flat for 2 and a half years. Usually if my af is due im really bloated. Also had a blocked nose which is another sign of mine thjat i forgot about till i woke up with it. Mind you it could be onstart of a cold. Tests havnt arrived yet so i am still blissfully ignorant.

Scaredstupid · 23/08/2004 10:50

I really don't mind if you know who I am. I am just feeling rather stupid and scared (as my name suggests) because I really should have been more careful before I even get the chance to speak to the consultant again... Water under the bridge now as they say.
Meanwhile, I am so happy for you that I have a big smile on my face.

fisil · 23/08/2004 10:43

Scaredstupid: I have some ideas about who you might be then! It is agony waiting, isn't it!

It is interesting what you write about dates: if this pg goes well, then I will quite likely be going public on my due date from my March mc! That feels weird! I hadn't thought about 05/05/05 - what a groovy birth date. DS was late, and born on the late date that I had always thought he would be! Now I want this pg to work out even more than before!

Scaredstupid · 23/08/2004 10:26

Fisil: I first read your post about being upset following a mc on May 11, the "due date" of my Nov miscarriage. At the time I was pg and starting to worry that I would have another mc which I did... That is why your 'story' was a familiar one and why I suspected/hoped that it was you! BIG CONGRATULATIONS and best of luck for a healthy, happy pregnancy.

Scaredstupid · 23/08/2004 10:16

Yeah Fisil! I am so happy for you! My ds is an April baby and spring babies are so lovely!

Nutcracker and TLTW: Sorry that you are still waiting and waiting. AGONY! Why is the first two weeks even longer than the 9 months?

I too am still waiting enlessly. DH pointed out that an 05/05/05 birthdate would be really great. He must have resigned himself to the fact that I have LOST THE PLOT!

nutcracker · 22/08/2004 21:32

OMG see i even put due instead of do, thats how nutty it's driving me

nutcracker · 22/08/2004 21:31

Oooooh Ssshhh/Fisil Congratulations

Yep you got it all right about me except for the m/c.

I haven't got a clue if i am or not, it's driving me potty now.

One thing that makes me think i'm not is that i'm eating like a pig which i always due before af is due.

twolongtwoweeks · 22/08/2004 18:19

Oh Fisil, well done!!! I hope it all goes well for you, take it ease and dont lift heavy objects etc etc etc. I will be your mother hen for a while. I think you got mine and Nuttys description down to a tee. It doesnt matter how broody you are it is still scarey getting pregnant. I wasnt broody at all till i had a early mc. Made me realise life is too short and why wait.

I havnt spoke to you much on Mn but ive def seen you posting!!

I think I'm due in April, actually. I'm not sure about when my last period started, and I'm not seeing my GP until next week.

I tested on Saturday morning, but I didn't say anything because dp doesn't like to talk about it to other people until we've had the 12 week scan (especially after last time). So I didn't tell anyone on mumsnet until after this weekend. So if you want to find out who I am, just go over to the summer party thread!

twolongtwoweeks · 22/08/2004 18:06

ssshhh · 22/08/2004 17:49

Oh nutcracker and tltw you sound like you're having a confusing time. I think I've lost the plot a bit. Can I try and summarise ... you've both got 3 already, you've both had a mc recently (or maybe it was just one of you) you both put in an order with the baby fairy a week ago, now you think that you may be pg and you are beginning to get scared in case you actually are, because that is such a big thing. Have I got that about right?

Forgive me if I have got totally confused about all of this - I do have an excuse - I'm pg!!!!

S**T, i just went to take some headache tablets and was gonna have codydromol. Dp said you can't take them if pregnant can you.
I checked and it says 'check with doc if pregnant'

I took two yesterday though as i had a bad head then too. I didn't think to check, how stupid of me.
Anyone know if they are bad to take in pregnancy ???

nutcracker · 22/08/2004 16:45

Hmmm, just tried to drink a cuppa, had two sips and tipped it down the sink

nutcracker · 22/08/2004 15:02

TBH I am really really scared too.

It has started keeping me awake at night now.

nutcracker · 22/08/2004 14:53

Hmmm i dunno, it really sounds like you could be to me, but then what do i know.

I sway between being convinced that I am one minute to being convinced that i'm not the next. Thats probably whats making me feel sick

twolongtwoweeks · 22/08/2004 14:51

Because i was being flippant earlier in the week, saying how i had no symptoms. Really believed i wasnt. But this sense of smell thing is making me heave.

It could be cos im so tired though. Been out all weekend, a few late nights knocks me out and i do feel sick when tired. So maybe just that.

Wonder whats happening with Sshhhh and scared stupid????

nutcracker · 22/08/2004 14:48

I haven't a clue TLTW's, i've never oredered any before. Did it not say when you placed the order ???

I am going to wait until Friday and see how i feel, then i MIGHT order some.

Anyway why so scared ???

twolongtwoweeks · 22/08/2004 14:45

Also got the in laws here who are really excited cos my sister in law has just found out she is pregnant.

I have told Dp my suspicions and he agrees i have been commenting on smells lately. Good thing though he has agreed to me being steralized after the next one
