Chances of getting pregnant?

Hi everyone. I want to thank you all for answering my posts in the past but I just want to run something by you all.

My husband and I have been TTC since June but so far no luck. My husband is in the military so it is hard to see him at the right time of the month. Anyways, I had my period on September 2 through to the 7th. I saw my husband and had sex on 9th, 10th and 11th. Well on the 13th I had cramps almost like period cramps and then the 14th still cramps with some light bleeding and then the 15, 16, 17 I had minor bleeding that a panty liner was all that was required. My cycles are usually around the 28 day mark give or take afew days.

I have no other symptoms really except for being really bloated and gassy.

Do you think I could have gotten pregnant as my fertile days should have been the 13-18? Is it possible to have implantation bleeding so early as I thought that it was usually around your period. I am due for my period on the 30th of September and am just curious to know if I could be as that is a long time to wait to test!!

Thanks in advance for your input!!

Hi there. I too, also had my AF on 9/2 and ended exactly on 9/7. My DH & I aren't TTC right now. We had sex on 9/17 and the condom Broke! Sounds like you could've very well O'ed during during your fertile time. You said that you had bleeding on the 15th, 16th and 17th - that would put you at CD# 13, 14 and 15. Since you said that you normally have a 28 day AF cycle, it sounds like you have a good chance to me. Sorry for asking you this personal question, but how is your CM and how is your Cervical Positioning? Is it 'SHOW?'.....meaning: 'Soft, High, Open and Wet?' I've been feeling kind of a little gassy lately myselft. Good Luck! Hope this helps! I can't wait to test myself, so I can have a piece of mind. P.S. - if you have a chance, could you read my post by the name Ferbie21 ? ~Thanks!~

Hi! This is my personal opinion. The bleeding is probably because of making love three times in a row. You said it's hard to see your husband at the right time of the month, so your vagina probably got a little over-used those three days, and bled a little. As far as the cramps, there is no way that implantation could have happened that fast. It takes 7-10 for implantation. I bet the cramping was from the prostaglandins located in your husbands semen. Prostaglandins are hormones that, among other functions,cause uterine cramping and contractions. (This is one of the reasons women are often told to make love with their husband when they are anxious to go into labor). Now all this doesn't mean that you are not pregnant. I would do a test in a few days. Usually, women get their periods 14 days after they ovulate, if they have not conceived. Good Luck!!! It's hard enough for some of us to get pregnant under regular circumstances, yours make it a little more difficult, but, before you know it, you'll be pregnant. Just keep trying and maybe next time you go for three in a row, use a little K-Y!!!!!

I'm in a similar situation. My husband and I started trying a year and a half ago, then he was deployed to the Gulf in January. He was home on leave September 1-10, so that was our first "encounter" in over five months. I was due for AF (still learning all the lingo on here) on the 15th, so I'm anxiously awaiting some sort of answer. I also had what I thought was implantation bleeding on the 6th, so that's about the same time frame you're talking. I tested Thursday with a negative, so I'm trying again next week. The wait is unbearable I know, but good luck!!!
