Pregnant with AF??????

On july 4 Af showed :(:( she was a day early and stayed for 2 days, then 2 days after she left i got some pink spotting (that has never happened.) this past week i was sick with a head cold, but for the past 2 days i have been extremely nauseaus. Last night when DH was frying pork chops- the smell was enough to send me to the bathroom. I have not actually thrown up- just have the feeling of wanting to. Does anyone know if it is possible to be pregnant and still have a period?? We have been trying for a year and want a baby so bad! thanks for your info

Hi Lydia!

I have read other posts here that some ladies do have a light or abnormal period when still pregnant. I don't know why or how, but it is possible. If af is light and not looking like it usually does, you can take a pg test to see. Wish I could help more! Good luck to you!

This is a BIG YES!!!, It is possible to have AF and be pg. I have a close friend who on two PG's had AF for 2 months and tested a dozen or so times before she had a blood test done to find out she was PG. Everyone's bodies are different and it sure sounds like you have a very good reason to be happy. HAve you tested? If you get a BFN and the sickness doesn't disappear soon I would call the Doc and get in for a blood test. If it does go away and so does the sickness, it may be some kind of bug. Here's to hope though that the next time I see your name it will be way below in the BFP announcements!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lydia,

I second what the other girls have said. Around 9 dpo I had spotting for one day and then af for two days then it stopped. My temps stayed up but af wasn't the same, it was very bright blood (sorry tmi) without any clumps. So I tested once I was past the expected time for af and got a faint pink second line. That means I am pg, but I am waiting to test again on Wed. to get a super dark pink second line!

I would wait until you are past when you expect af and test. How are your temps?

I didn't temp this month because DH and I are "taking a break" from ttc'ing. (This break doesn't seem to be stopping me from obsessing!!:) I tested saturday with a generic test at about 3 pm- bfn. I'm thinking about testing again with tomorrows FMU. I want to be pregnant so bad!!! Sometimes I know I'm crazy- thinking I'm pregnant when af came already!! :)

yes, it's possible. i have a friend that had a very light period one month, then missed the next month and was pregnant.

Hi Lydia,

Oh, isn't it fun to obsess even on your "month off". Maybe this is your lucky month. I agree, it is possible to have a visit from AF and still be PG. I so hope we all get to see you post a BFP tomorrow morning. Good luck and best wishes. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed for you.

DH and I have also been TTC for a whole year now. I know what it is like.

Tons of +++ BFP vibes headed your way.

Hugs,

Definately!!! A friend of mine had AF with all three of her pregnancies. So chin up. It's not over 'til it's over.

Good luck!!
