Pregnancy?

so i have quite a few symptoms...

heartburn, headaches, lower back and lower abdo pain, enlarged and achey boobs, dizzy spells, constipationBlush mood swings, nausea and retching, strong sense of smell(smelling things that arent there...) extreme tiredness...i could go on.

sounds like pregnancy right?

i got 3 BFPs gradually getting fainter until i got BFN the weekend before last and started spotting. the spotting was light and barely there most of the time, brown and/or rather dark old blood and didnt get to the bright red that i have had in all of my other MCs/CPs. all of the symptoms have gotten stronger since the spotting stopped. I tested again and still getting BFN so it seems like further 'proof' that i had my 6th early MC (8th MC altogether).

i cant get a drs appt until 9th feb so i thought i would put it to you lovely ladies...WTF is going on with my body? anyone got any clues?

Could you have ov'd later than you thought? How long is your LP? As far as I know, less than 10 days us not normally long enough to sustain a pregnancy (think its a luteal phase defect)

Have you been to your GP? Considering you've had quite a few m/c's indictates that something else is going on! Clearly you have no problem getting pg but sustaining one seems to be the problem.

Again, it could just be mis-diagnosed ov date but after so many m/c's I'd be seeing my doctor!

Sorry just read that you can't get to see your GP til Feb, have you been previously though!?!

I'm under recurrent MC clinic and have Lupus too which is the 'reason' Hmm for my losses.

The clinic have said I need pregnancy confirmed before any treatment can start and I can't have blood tests until after 9th feb... I could in theory be about 7weeks by then but if I'm testing negative then is it more likely I will be just having a WTF cycle? I just wanna know ya know?

Oh crikey! So sorry for all your losses and what you are going through (and for my earlier ignorance) it does sound like you are either having a whacky cycle or unfortunately another mc/cp.

I really really hope that this is not that case though. I am no expert, but don't really know what else it could be. Maybe though, it was just breakthrough bleeding! When did you have your last m/c? Could the positives have been from that. As you said, brown blood is old blood so could be implantation or breakthrough bleeding.

Do you have any update on how you are doing? I've experienced something similar recently, felt I had all the 'symptoms' of pregnancy but then had a period that just didnt seem right ( early, short, inconsistent) . I'm quite sure I'm not pregnant ( really resisted the urge to test), but I'd really like to know more about your experience.
Hope you are well :)
