Oh blimey, where do I start... sorry this could be a long one but I'm starting to go crazy.
Okay, I'm 32 and have been TTC for 6 months now. I have one DS who is 13 months old, he is still BFing twice a day and this seems to be making my cycles 39/40 days instead of my former 30/31 days. I'm also nearly 2 stone heavier this time around but still just about within normal BMI I think.
On 14th Jan I had a very heavy AF, period pains, bad mood, the lot basically - just slightly heavier than I'd consider normal. On 1st Feb (CD19) I had ewcm but from previous months knew this may not actually mean I was OVing. I then had more stretchy cm on 10th Feb (CD28)so will count this as OV based on a 40ish day cycle.
During the 2WW I got nausea, headaches, sore boobs, metal taste, cramps, backache, tiredness, frequent peeing, congested nose and a whole host of other stuff. It was basically the same stuff as the cycle I conceived DS so I felt slightly optimistic. On 8DPO I got some pinkish creamy cm then on 10DPO got some brownish creamy cm. Again, looking promising.
On 22nd Feb (CD40/12DPO) I started bleeding. Bright red but light and totally painless plus no PMT and I bled like this for 4 day in total then had a couple of days of rusty red/brown spotting. I usually start off very heavy and dark on day 1 and need paracetamol and it lasts for 6 days so this was not normal for me. As it was an odd AF, I took a cheapie ebay test...BFN so I assumed it was AF after all. As soon as it had finished, the nausea and cramps and hunger and backache and tiredness etc all came back and I was still getting some cm when I would usually be dry for a couple of days. My cervix also feels quite high still which doesn't seem right either. I took another test on Friday night just gone and got another BFN. I'm now convinced I'm not pg but want to know what the hell is going on with me as I feel like crap.
On Sunday night, I got the worst migraine of my life, it felt like somebody was slamming a door shut onto my head repeatedly. It actually woke me, made me throw up and if I tried to move at all it has me crying in agony. I am a former migraine sufferer and used to have anti-migraine medication over 10 years ago and they worked out that it was caused by the combined pill. They stopped when I changed pill, phew! The out-of-hours doc went through my circumstances and gave me some strong painkillers so I trusted him took one and went back to bed. I then wake up (with only a mild headache) to read that you should not take them if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to get pregnant. Yikes, so that's at least 2 out of 3 that I'm doing!
Monday morning (yesterday) I went to see the doc as I'd already decided to and then seeing the drug warning made my mind up for sure. I sure the doc and went through everything I've said here. I mustn't take any more of those tablets and have to take a first morning pee sample to them today. In a nutshell, she thinks I'm pregnant despite the BFNs . The migraine could have been triggered by raised levels of oestrogen that you get in pregnancy that would be similar to the combined pill. So, just when I finally get my head around not being pg she makes me wonder again.
I've done my sample this morning and also tested again myself and got another BFN. I expected it to be BFN and said as much to the doc but she just told me I was being negative. If they also get a BFN when they test, they're going to get me in for a blood test instead.
You deserve a medal if you've got this far as I've certainly gone on a bit
What do you think my chances are of actually being pg? Do you know anyone else that has had a bleed and BFNs yet still been pg?
Thank you for reading, I look forward to your replies.
