when I fell pg with ds I had two days of quite heavy bleeding, even period like with period pains, and it was only two weeks later when I fainted at work, and rang for day three blood results and they asked me whether I was on the pill that I thought of doing a test and it came back positive. so consequently this time ttc, whenever I have a slightly lighter period, I find myself wondering if I could be pregnant after all, and this month is just such a month. never really gave it any thought as came on on Christmas eve and bled till maybe boxing day but not overly heavy, but since then have had strange feelings in tummy, and for past three days have felt extremely nausius, esp when I go into the kitchen where I've been cooking.

I know that the logical answer is that I've probably got a stomach bug that dh had last week, but there's still always this little voice inside me that thinks maybe I am though?

does anyone else ever think like this? or is it just me who's obviously nuts

No, it's not just you! I have the coil fitted and still if I feel a bit queasy or anything weird happens (like spotting last week) I wonder if I could be pg! I honestly don't want any more children, absolutely love the ones I have but HATE being pg and don't think I could do the newborn thing again (would have to have section again too as did with both dcs) but still there would be a teeny part of me that would be pleased There you go....nuts too!

All the time!! I once convinced my husband I might be pregnant and we hadn't even had sex!!!

twelveweekstomaternityleave · 04/01/2007 11:14

I used to do it. A lot of it to do with having Mirena and not really having proper periods at all I think. I often tested when I knew I really couldn't be!

wannaBeWhateverIWannaBe · 04/01/2007 11:20

this is good. I am not the only one who is nuts.

I think that it is harder because I went through similar the first time round, so now I know that it is possible iyswim.

There are no tests in the house, so I cannot obsess

but if only I didn't feel so sick

Oh yeh, i've been ttc for 6 months and i convince myself im pg, thats y when i was 29 days late last month, i nearly shot myself!!!!! (joke)

I hate how our bodies play tricks tho, v cruel!

Impatience · 04/01/2007 20:54

Absolutely! I don't really believe I'm not pg until I start getting ov signs again, and even then I'll do a test just to be sure... I just LOVE to torture myself...

Yes! Today!!

Have just finished my quite normal period today, and been finding some smells to be too strong. So have already had the conservation with dp!

fruitful · 04/01/2007 22:04

Yep! I bled whilst pg too, and have very light periods normally, so a period doesn't convince me. I have a stash of 20p pg tests off ebay, so I can put myself out of suspense reasonably quickly.

LatenightOwl · 04/01/2007 22:16

Hi, yes me too, one month had a light AF and was convinced yet would not call the Clear Blue fairy in - cos the thought of thinking I was pg was nicer than seeing the reality. My DH kept saying I wasnt and I wouldnt believe him til the next AF and even then convinced myself it was a m/c. I think desire to have a BFP can distort even the most sanest of female! Welcome to the mad, mad world of TTC

AitchTwoOhOhSeven · 04/01/2007 22:19

hah! me, every month of my life. had two eps so am horribly aware that bleeding doesn't always mean period iykwim?

beansprout · 05/01/2007 07:47

I'm having a lighter period than normal and it started with some brown blood as well, so have been tormenting myself with the same thought. I really think I might be going mad sometimes....

monalissie · 05/01/2007 08:13

def not just you. just received my digi tests just in case. af was shorter etc, boobs still huge, still feeling sick got a faint bfp then bfn aaaaarrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!

off to loony bin now

fruitful · 05/01/2007 14:02

Put yourselves out of your misery...

pg tests for 25p

I'm not the seller by the way, but I have bought from her.

I guess you can always convince yourself that a neg pg test is wrong or too early though!

fruitful · 05/01/2007 14:05

Oh lissie, I managed not to read your post before I posted mine.

Bad design, that's what it is. Now how hard would it have been to make us so our bellybutton turned green when we were pregnant?
