I am sorry for the question, it may seem a little silly to mums here because they are already expecting. But I'd really appreciate insight from a couple of you ladies.
In December, after missing my October period, I began to suspect pregnancy. I was tired all of the time, being sick, my boobs were sore and I was extremely irritable. I believe I had some implantation bleeding - some strange pink jelly like discharge ( sorry tmi )that was followed by no period. I felt really silly when I got my period in January. Now, my periods are usually very painful and heavy, but this one was something else. It was excruciating, I really thought I was dying at one point and had to leave work and come home. It was beyond heavy, filling up pad after pad, and my periods always last exactly 5 days, but this one lasted 2 or 3, followed by very light and painless bleeding which didnt last very long at all. I didn't suspect miscarriage until I researched it a little bit a few days ago, and I had no idea how common it was, and that it can happen before you even know you are pregnant and look like a heavy period.
Now, I know this isn't something you'd be told in a hospital, but I know a few ladies, and found many many more online, who swear by increased fertility after a mc. Women who, after trying to concieve for months or even years, had a miscarriage, and become pregnant immiedatly after. I had unprotected sex in January.
Now, I don't want to be pregnant, infact I'm trying pretty hard to convince myself that I am over analysing my body, which is something i've done in the past. But for the last few weeks I have been eating huge amounts, sleeping all the time and feeling sick. i have had a lot of abdominal pain, nothing like period cramps, mostly on the right lower side. I have a bad sleeping cycle, I always have had, staying up until 3am most nights, but I used to get up at 7 without an issue. Now I can't. I just can't. I sleep for hours, waking up in the afternoon, still bloody tired. I love orange juice. I tried to drink a glass today, and I didn't enjoy it at all, I needed something fizzy. I want tango, but the shop is closed, and I had to settle for squash and lemonade. I woke up this morning and the first thing I noticed was the smell of the fanta fruit twist (closed bottle) on my bedside table. I assume it was this as the smell was fruity, but dont see how I couldve smelt it. The other night at work, the woman I work with asked if I was okay, as I'd suddenly gone very very pale. She was reluctant to drop it, but I told her I felt fine. I keep feeling very dizzy, sick and tired. My lower back and muscles ache. I keep getting twinges in my belly and a strange tight feeling, and I am quite thin, so the bloating I have is easily noticable. I'm seeing a doctor tommorow, I just wondered if anyone had any advice for me, and if they think I could be pregnant or am over analysing my body.
