Hey,
I've been trying to stay rational, but think I'm going a little crazy, and hoping someone else has experienced similar?
I came off the pill in December, and my cycle has been longer and less predictable since then. Before I was on the pill it was roughly 30 days, since coming off the pill, the gap has been lessening, but averaging out at the 40 day mark. Either way my husband and I have been trying.
My last period was on the 1st May, and then on the 2nd June I had the tiniest amount of brown spotting (not enough to even fill the tampon). Which when I did the maths I thought might have been implantation bleed.
Had the same yesterday, but even less spotting, just a smear. Took a test (took a couple in fact) and it's come back with a faint positive line, but still a pink positive (first response test).
Then today I've got the same tiny amount of brown blood. No actual flow - nothing heavy like I've heard a chemical pregnancy should be, but still there.
I've got lower back pain, I'm bloated and getting breakouts, (occasional wave of nausea, but I don't deal well with heat and it is getting warm out). I've also got slight cramps.
Does this sound like a chemical pregnancy, because the line is pale and I'm spotting? Or because my cycle is longer and not exact could I actually be successfully pregnant and just testing as little early, hence the pale line.
I know chemical pregnancies are very common for the first time, and it's really nothing to worry about. I'm very calm about the fact and know I will deal with it rationally, but the fact that I'm not sure, and could actually be pregnant is making me feel a little nuts - because a part of me wants to be excited about finally getting the second line.
Sorry for the stupidly long post, but like i said - think I'm going a little crazy. Any ideas?
