I posted in Conception, but wondered if anyone here might be able to shed some light on my odd 'period' ?www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/1540057-Is-it-possible-to-have-a-two-day-heavy-bleed-and-be-pregnant?msgid=33531280#33531280

Driving myself crazy wondering if I could be pregnant.. Confused

I just got my bfp this morning 25 May and I suspect I may be further than just 4 weeks. I had a 3 day bleed in March which tailed off on day 4,in April I had a 2 day bleed which tailed off on the 3rd day and might I add that is not normal for me, I usually go on for much longer. Back in March on the day I was suppose to come on my periods, I had a sharp stab in my tummy and then 30 minutes later, I was bleeding fresh red blood and in April also fresh red blood like a normal short period with the stringy fertile cm and then missed this period, I tested 1 day after missed period. We were ttc for one month in March but after negative tests, the pressure was just too much so we stopped, but continued to have sex pulling out and I never had any symptoms, I still don't have the obvious signs, but will be visiting the doc to find out just how further along I am. I have no sicknesses just a bfpSmile.

Good luck ladies

Hello advice needed plz

I came off the pill 6 months ago and have been trying to conceive. My period came back no problem and ive had two day 21 progesterone tests the 2nd readin (this month was high)

I have always had a 5 day period but this month (same month as high reading) My periods lasted just 2 days, very light and barely fills a tampon. I have had headaches been teary and had fatigue....Could this be implantation?

Hello im new but would love some help. Try make it as short as pos. I have pcos. Tryed for 5 years but no go. Gave up about 6 month ago. Lost 2 stone in weight. Normal cycle 35-42 days long This month had intercourse 6 days after last day of period. 4days after had ovulation pain. Few days after that had new symptoms, back ache, twinge cramping, boob pain, tingle nipples, dizzy on standing, increased hunger, pee more.
Today i started bleeding witch i assume is my period but im a heavy bleeder 3 pads at once change every hr. Today iv changed my 1 pad twice being clean not for being full sorry tmi. Boobs still sore! Cramping still on and off and bleeding slowed down to only when wipe by the evening. Has clots again sorry tmi but been told clots means defo period. But normally period symptoms for me aint as bad as this time, they stop when i bleed and its still happening and i get pms symptoms a few days before period where iv had these for weeks and still on going. Did 2 test 1 week and 1.5week after ovulation both neg no second line at all. I have a FEELING i just cant shift? And like i say iv not been trying. Iv been threw symptoms in the 2 week wait when i was desprate in trying but they stopped when period started and then the only symptom i had them was dissapointment and tears. This time... i still dont belive this is wright? This whole month has been ...different. tell me strait your thoughts please. Even if its snap out of it. Thanks x

I had some light brown spotting around the time my period was due. I was disappointed that we hadn't got pregnant that month. Couple of days later i realised my period hadn't started and when i took my bra off my boobs hurt- did a test, BFP! 20 weeks now 😊

Came off depo 19th November was also on pill came of beginning of December. Period normal 4 days the 10th December. Not due next period until 6 days time, had 3 days of very light spotting pink- no pad needed, then one day brown/pink blood and a nappy needed then it all seems to have gone again. Any ideas?

I know this post is like super old but I've literally been scouring the internet for forums about this type of stuff. I have hasld sore achy breast for a week now and was getting excited because I thought maybe this was my month and then my.period came the day it was supposed to but super late in the day where it usually shows up early. Anyway I bled heavy for the first day and literally have spotted like a pinkish red for the past three days now and now I have nothing at all. It's completely weird because I'm usually a 7 day period kinda girl and I only had it for five this time. But I've literally been feeling off my boobs still ache I'm really really grouchy, my power back has been killing me and I'm crampy have been for a week now I'm also really super tired. I've had all these symptoms now way before my period even came. So I've been looking up stories of woman who had "period" like bleeding and then found out they were pregnant. It's just super weird for me with Al these symptoms and then my unusual bleeding.... Has anyone gone through this type of thing and found a week or so later they were preggo...? My mom told me she had period like bleeding until she was six months along with me....

@Breebree12615 hi bree! How you feeling now? Am in the same boat. Saw your comment which isn’t too long ago so thought of saying hi!

Breebree12615 · 09/01/2022 13:57

Unfortunately I was not pregnant... But don't lose hope girl!

Keepingmyfingerscrossed · 09/01/2022 20:27

@Breebree12615 aw! Sorry to hear bree! I had something similar. My af was 5 days late (may be I ovulated late) but from around my time of ovulation I started having on and off brown spotting. Then my af was 5 days late. Tested on day 3- bfn. Started with brown spotting on day 5 and turned into bleeding by 11am. Anyway, it wasn’t heavy at all. No clots but red in color. Next day it got heavier but abruptly stopped by the end of the day. The next morning I had a lot of white milky/creamy sort of discharge. It stopped as well. Day 3spotted for the first half of the day, little bit on day 4 and nothing since then. My boobs have been achy a bit. Left nipple has a bit of milky/colourless discharge. It isn’t dripping discharge but I feel like touching something wet (very mild). I had this last month too. Went to my gp. My prolactin levels are fine. She examined physically and isn’t concerned. Has referred me for a scan for peace of mind.

So not sure what’s happening. My periods flow seems to be getting lesser and all these symptoms are making me feel like a crazy person. I haven’t tested again though. Might just do it in next few days.

Breebree12615 · 09/01/2022 21:17

I've had similar situations girl and trust me I felt the same. Your not crazy though unfortunately our bodies are bipolar as fuck lol I've drove myself crazy thinking I was pregnant and I've tried charting my ovulation with apps but my cycle keep going from 26-28 and which is making it hard to decide exactly when I actually ovulate...last month I decided to just stop and let it happen lol tired of driving myself crazy with symptom spotting lol. Plus I'm thankful for the three I have I was just hoping for a girl before I stop completely... Good luck girl.

@Breebree12615 aww! Would love to have a girl!! We don’t have any kids and in my mid 30s. My cycles were just so perfect until we started ttc. Plus I had h pylori which was never diagnosed on time and my condition worsened. Unfortunately, I kept having pregnancy symptoms when it was actually stomach bacteria! I struggled with it for three months and finally my stool test confirmed h pylori. Was on antibiotics and it has come back negative now. But past 6 months have been so so tricky!! My flow has been less past two-three cycles! It has been mostly pinkish color with no clots. Except this month! It was red in color and I was kind of relieved to see that lol. Plus my Brest discharge was making me anxious thinking it’s something bad. You know how you get health anxiety reading symptoms online. So I avoid that too! My gp squeezed my nipples, didn’t find any discharge or lumps. But yest I had a very very mild misty sor of discharge again. Last month my gp said stress, antibiotics and all can cause this. Anyway, Waiting for my scan appointment. Should be okay if my gp isn’t concerned.

Also, When I was 3 days late this time, I and hubby had sex and it was so uncomfortable for me. Never had this before. When he pulled out, I saw a bit of bleed. Got my periods on day 5..

How are you feeling this time? Are you in your tww yet?

Breebree12615 · 09/01/2022 22:38

I'm sorry to hear that girl 😫 that would suck. Just keep your head up you got this!!! We have three boys and I'm thankful for them. I haven't had much but cramping, bad mood swings,hungry alot, thirsty and really tired... which is normal for me in my tww. Technically I'm on day 14 past ovulation and cycle day 28 so I was supposed to start my period today.... But it's still early if that makes sense lol my period last month didn't come til like 7pm. But if not I'm hoping maybe it won't come.... But trying not to get my hopes up to much.

Keepingmyfingerscrossed · 09/01/2022 23:34

@Breebree12615 sounds good bree!!😊 just wait for a day and see how you go. Keeping my fingers and everything crossed for you! 😊

Yeah it is tough but trying not to think much. I got up with a lumpy throat this morning. It’s still there. It’s little hard for me to figure out because I do have stomach issues past 6 months. So I do get abdomen cramps some times. I was quite gassy this time, to the point it was making loud noises lol. But I put this all down to my stomach issue. Although this has never happened to me. Just don’t want to get my hopes up unnecessarily.

Please let me know how you know. Good luck 🤞 🥰

Breebree12615 · 11/01/2022 17:39

Well I was officially two days late today but I started spotting this morning so I don't think it's my month... This cycle is weird cause I'm on cycle day 30 and I've never been to 30 days before....
