Not sure

Ive changed my name and not sure why Im doing this , as not really into talking about ttc etc , as last time I did , I lost.
Im not sure of all the abreviations for everything , but Im day 22 today , we did it day 16 , but Im not sure if its day 16 or 18 , as I was several days late last month. MY cycle is normally 26 days , but last mth I was 31 I think, not sure !!
I have been having increasing metal taste the last few days and its quite strong , also today Ive started getting a deep ache in the left of my tummy. I also have started feeling quite sick today.

I cant test till wednesday when Ill be day 26, using first reponse.

If I am Im very pleased as I want my dd to have a companion and she is 27mths, but my worries are trauma birth , ptsd & pnd. I had a terrrible traumatic time last time i.e all the above listed and my stomach churns at the thought of going to a certain hospital near me. IM not sure if a doula, private midwife or something else will help me.

I would justlike to have a thread were I feel I can talk about these things.

Good luck! Thinking of you heaps. My friend is also trying, my daughter is 14 months and her little boy is 19 months. She has had one month trying and opne period and i've had one month trying and no period- as yet! Fingers crossed...
Not sure how i'll feel if i'm not preg, either way i'm sure that i'll cry! I'm just that type of person.
I was lucky I guess last time although I had pre eclapmsia and v. high blood pressure. And spent alot of time being monitored for reduced/no movements and my bubba had her cord round her neck and was purple. My only trauma- if you can call it that was that my epidural didn't really work- didn't help the anethesitist did it mid contraction tho! But all in all went into labour on Fri at 2pm and had my bubba on Saturday at 5:31am... I didn't go to hospital until midnight either. The midwife who delivered my D was lovely and the most amazing support I could of wished for and the majority of the hospital staff were lovely too. Not so sure how i'd feel if I had lots of probs last time but I know I loved being preg and love my D soooooo much- wet I know but true. Cannot wait until I am preg and have number two!
Good luck Maybetwo!

well I couldnt resist as had a test ready and waiting for Saturday , but last night I had the urge!

I have 2 lines YIPEEEEEEEE(I had a little cry also last night , not sure what that was ; a realisation a shock , joy???) , BUT Ive had a miscarriage before my dd so Ive got to be really careful now. I wont go official on here with my real name until 12wks ish , as I want to make sure I keep this one 1st. This feels really weird though !!!

I do feel VERY sick and havent been able to eat properly today . I didnt really suffer to bad last time just nauseous , but a few times to today Ive had to breathe deeply to make it pass. UH OH , im only 4weeks , whats it going to be like when the hgc levels are full tilt OOHH NOOOOOOO !!!!

Ive started bleeding , it happned last night at midnight and Im really confused now. My mum has told me to rest. I am only day 28 today , so may be this one didnt take like the last one this time 3yrs ago & my af has just started . Im going to just have to wait it out now and see if its just spotting i.e implantation or full blown af.

I supppose if I lose it , its made me realise how much I want another. Especially going in to see my dd this morning, I got upset for her as I so want to see her playing with a sibling.

Im going from ok I can dela with this its one fo those things , to crying and feeling really cut up.

ty aprilirl, my dh is home soon so he can look after dd and let me lay in peace. Ty for your words.

dh made me laugh on the phone though , he said everyone will say rest , but he said its not like it will drop out like a ball rattling around! If its meant to stick it will and vica versa!

Still want to cry though

I have nasty pains too

thanx pol, I saw your thread ,I know how you feel.

I juts keep looking at my double line and getting confused thinking may be its dodgy! It said to keep it 48hrs and if loine stays then deffo +ive. (Im learning all the abbrevs now!)

Just hoping that this bleeding doesnt increase.

Is it normal to have some pain with implantation? It not nasty just a deep dull ache. It seems better when I lay down. I dont seem to have any more on the pad , just a little pinky brown line on tissue.

I just need to talk , Ive been sitting her on sofa all morning googling implantation.

munz · 02/12/2005 13:27

brown blood tends to be 'old' blood so fingers crossed for you.

Mercy · 02/12/2005 13:51

Maybetwo. With ds I had what I described as a stop/start period complete with the usual stomach cramps. Bleeding was heavy enough to use a tampon so I had no idea I was pregnant until several days later.

So, yes it is possible to have a painful implantation bleed. Fingers crossed!

rubles · 02/12/2005 14:15

A deep ache could be implantation too - so hang in there.

Pol25 · 02/12/2005 14:18

Fingers crossed for you!!! I wish you all the luck possible!
I'm sat here with -ive line on preg test and still no period! Arrrrggg!
My sis said she had bleeding when preg with her twins and were all fine. She had a c-section at 36 weeks after going into labour.
Good luck and keep your feet up!

Thank you for your replies , Ive been in bed all afternoon and Im not used to that! Ive had pain all afternoon and I go to check in the loo every 10mins ! Still have stuff coming out , but no fresh red still. Ill just have to wait and see, as who knows how it will go over the next few days.

If everything is ok , ill worry now all the time if the baby is ok, although I expect I would anyway , but bleeding makes you more concious of it.

I feel Im in limbo, it horrible not being able to do anything, just wait wait wait.

The spotting seems to have stopped for now, but I have terrible aches all around midriff and lower back area.It seems worse when I stand up or gte myself sressed. I just dont know what to think really, am I still pg, have I had a miscarriage, (although seems very light to have been), will this baby be ok if I am still pg??

Just having an anxious morning, feeling very weepy. May be thats a good sign.

Pol25 · 04/12/2005 10:50

Im sorry pol , may be go to gp and have hgc levels checked with blood test.

A friend of the family who is a year or so away from training to be a doctor has suggested I go to gp this week , as he is concerned that I have had adominal pain and lower back pain. He did say though that the pinky brown stuff is called desidious I think and when baby beds in its becomes surrounded by this matter. He did say I would know it if ectopic as unbelievably painful , but he couldnt rule it out. Im just wondering if gp surgery will wonder why i didnt go in on Friday when 1st spotting or go to A& E , so may not consider me an emergency???? , but if I do a test at home all it will tell me is if I have hgc , not if pg is still viable and hgc increasing , as I know that hgc stays in you for a while after. Im all on edge now and cant seem to rest my mind. My friend also said I know to much for my own good !!

went to gp today , she was less than uselss and said there was nothing she could do. Anyway to my luck there was a final year student in the room with her and she said theres an early pg unit at my hospital who will take care of me and do a scan once I reach 6 weeks. Im booked in now thanks to her phoning for me , but will also need to have a blood test tommorow at blood bank for my hcg levels. If it wasnt for trainee , I would have been quite demanding in getting blood ,check etc. Why should I have to suffer because an old long in the tooth gp cant be bothered. GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Ive also done a clear blue today and the + came up immediately, which I THINK is a good sign , as mmay be my hcg levels are increasing and not diminishing(as they woud if mc).

I know it may be hormonal , but I feel really low, giddy & weepy this afternoon(oh and boobs really hurt today for 1st time). Its a mess everywere , but Im so tired and zapped by the last few days I just want to leave it all and sit and watch tv , how lazeeee am I!!. Poor dh will come home to a bombsite!!!!!

thanx rubles , at the bloodbank today she said it was unusual to have cases like mine come through there , as normally I would have been at the maternitiy unit. She also doesnt know why Im not booked in to have another hcg test 48 hrs from now. She said normally I would have come through A&E , (but as I didnbt bleed out profusley at the time I thought it best to rest at home). She then said that they do things to save on costs referring to why my gp didnt want to do anything ,whatever that means. She almost insuated I had a m/c ??????? Im so stressed now , I dont know what to think. I feel Ive been shortchanged and some may laugh "ah but fgs your only 4 weeks" but to me being pg is being pg wether 4 weeks or 20 wks its still hopes, dreams and wishes and a possible human life in the makinhg and that is very special to the women carrying and it may still viable I have no idea.
