In the first place, I apologise sincerely if this post is insensitive - I wasn't sure where was best to post but will ask for this to be moved/deleted if posting it here is deemed inappropriate or upsets anyone.
I got pregnant in Aug 2011. My DP and I were using the withdrawal method and then I went on the pill - at about the same time I now know I became pregnant.
I didn't then find out I was pregnant until early December. I know how daft that sounds but I had no real symptoms - no periods (but I was running my pill packs together so didn't expect one) and and very minimal weight gain (say 2-3lbs, at a time when I was underweight anyway and trying to put a bit of weight on). I did feel a bit nauseous but put it down to the pill, which was a new brand for me and a known side-effect. I did do a pregnancy test to be on safe side and it was negative.
Whilst still taking the pill I started bleeding early November. This was like a normal period and lasted a good week. Fed up with the pill and what I thought were it's side-effects I stopped taking it. Six weeks later, I did another pg test as no period, and it was positive - so I presumed I was about 6/7 weeks gone(as did Dr!). A scan two weeks later showed DD,18.5weeks :)
DD was born in May 2012 and thank god, seems fine. Another worry had involved my bi-monthly Humira injections for ankylosing spondylitis (which I'd stopped immediately I knew I was pg).
My question (after all that!) involves the bleed I had at about 10 weeks. I don't know why that happened and never explored as we were just so worried/focused on DD and finding out so late.
It's on my mind now as it might be time to think about ttc number 2. Obviously it's something I can ask the dr but I wondered if anyone else had experienced anything similar? Could I have miscarried a twin? Or just a pill-thing?
Sorry this is so long!
