I'm Starting to Freak

Hi guys. I'm back. I originally posted a couple of weeks ago with what I thought were pg sypmtoms. My AF came 7/25 (about a week late). I tested prior and got three BFNs. TMI WARNING: I had intercourse last night and this afternoon, I noticed some pinkish discharge in my pantiliner. I immediately called my Dr's office and spoke to the advice nurse. I explained to her that I had a previously late cycle, tested negative, and told her about the intercourse and discharge. Her immediate response was that I test again in a week. Now I've read that some people take a couple of weeks after AF is supposed to show to get a BFP, but I've already had an AF. The cycle was I guess normal, except that I used less pads and the last day was a creamy pink flow instead of my normal browning. I've had some strange twinges/cramps since AF, as well as other odd sensations in my pelvic region.

I haven't been able to move my bowels regularly, and when I do, it's such an insufficient amount. My belly, which is normally "flabby" has started to get kinda hard. I'm thinking that's due to my slow moving bowels. I talked to a few girlfriends who've told me that they've had pinkish discharge after "vigorous" intercourse. I've had vigourous intercourse before, and have been sexually active for a while, but this is the first time I've seen this discharge. I know there's a first time for everything, but what's most unsettling is the nurse advising me to test again.

Has anyone ever heard of or experienced a similar situation, and the end result was a BFP? With the way that I've been feeling, I'm not sure if I can even tell what "normal" is anymore. Someone please help, because I'm truly freaking out.

I'm going through kind of the same thing...always have a VERY heavy af...this month, started on time but is just spotting. My dr's ofc said to test again too but I got a confusing result (it stayed pos for 2 mins then line disappeared). I am going to have a blood test in the morning. I won't get the results until tomorrow afternoon, but I will definitely let you know the results since our situations are kinda similar. BTW, my mom had a "normal" period during her 1st trimesters when she was pregnant with both me and my brother. She said it was just a tad bit lighter than normal. I hope we both get some answers soon!! Let me know if you find out anything on your situation!

Sorry to hear about your results, but at least now you can get busy TTC (hehe). I'm very nervous to take the test. Every morning when I wake up with a full bladder, I just think POAS already, but I sit on the toilet and let it go. I'm afraid, but once I do take it, I'll let you know.

See ya!

I ended up testing on Saturday afternoon and no surprise, BFN. I called the Dr's office on Monday, though, and made an appointment, which suprisingly is for next Thursday. I have no idea what's going to happen, and all of this is probably my body just messing with me. Like it's all in my head. Anyway, Good luck to all of those who are TTC and expecting.
