Pregnant with “periods”?

I’m a mother of 1, we recently tried for a second baby, my period came on time so I assumed im not, we’re in no rush so this post isn’t from a “I need to be or times running out” kind of place.

because I’ve been pregnant, (I know they’re all different) I can’t help but feel that same yuck feeling I felt before keeps creeping up.

ive been super emotional even crying, it takes a lot for me to cry, I can’t even remember the last time I cried.

also majorly tired and majorly can’t be bothered energy, im usually one to cook and clean and I personally enjoy that , but that’s gone out the window which is unlike me

the other morning I woke up with a crazy pain in my stomach area and around my back, I thought nothing of it but all these little things are adding up to I guess this post

I know I could eliminate this by testing, but I do feel ridiculous getting a test because I had what I thought was a period whereas with my first I had a small implantation bleed that I knew wasn’t a period

im basically struggling between you can have bleeds and be pregnant, and the reality of denial I can’t be because I bled like a normal period and maybe I’m just moody at the moment 😂

if anyone’s experienced something similar maybe you could reply with your experiences, thank you :)

I think it is unlikely while not impossible. The only thing you can do is test. There are reasons other than pregnancy for hormonal changes that could cause these symptoms.

Hello
I've just arrived to search for a conversation about this! I can't really help you other than to share what I am experiencing right now...
I had my usual period a couple of weeks ago, or what felt at the time like a period. My husband and I are actively trying so a few days ago I did an LH test and it came back really high so assumed I was about to ovulate. I tested again yesterday and it came back still really high (3* the normal result I would expect at ovulation).
I then took a pregnancy test as it seemed a bit odd and it came back very strongly positive. I took a clear blue test this morning and it came back positive at 3+ weeks.
I'm totally stumped as I had a 'normal' period so I feel like it was heavier than implant spotting.
This doesn't really help you but you could be in a similar place as me!? Not really sure what my next steps are other than to keep testing in the hope that it stays positive...

Oh wow, that’s so wild that happened. Congratulations to you both! To think if you never tested for ovulation you wouldn’t have done a pregnancy test.

I still haven’t tested, I know I should just to eliminate it haha, I’m going to this weekend and I’ll give an update. I highly doubt it with an inch of skepticism, it would definitely be a surprise
