Ladies.. is it what I think it is?

So here's my story.. The last time I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend of 2 years was about a week ago. We used withdrawl. Now, I have a tendency of not getting pregnant. For example, at one point we actually tried. No luck, even after about 10 or so ejaculations inside of me. So, as you can tell, if I can get pregnant, I just can't that easily. With saying that, I am having spotting. I just had my period about 1 1/2-2 weeks ago. I've been spotting for 2 days now. The first day was more so, than today. It has just been this, almost like a watered down very light period, like an off-red/brown/pinkish color. Now, if I remember correctly, implantation bleeding occurs within the next 72 hours of intercourse, right? It has obviously been longer than that, which leads me to doubt pregnancy. I am a regular with irregular periods. So, I think that this is just something my body is doing that is abnormally normal for me. Other than spotting, I've been having diareaha (sp?) usually after anything I eat, other than saltines. Also, constipation, headaches, light headedness real easily, exhaustion, very emotional and I've been having such restless sleeps, which I normally do not experience, but that is about it. If my spotting is implantation bleeding, I shouldn't even be feeling any symptoms, right? I'd like to think I am just magnifying this and I am not actually pregnant. What do you ladies think? Any feedback would be much obliged..

Sincerely,
AngelEyes

Hello Angeleyes...


Usually implantation occurse 7-10 days after you ovulate. So, if I'm reading correctly...you had your period about 1 1/2 weeks ago and you had sex about a week ago, ist hat right?


I would say your chances of being pregnant are pretty slim, since ovulation typicially occurs 14 days before your period. And it doesn't sound like you had sex around the time you ovulated.

hi.. my advice is see a DR!!! I was the same way I went to the dr about 3 yrs ago and she said nothing was wrong with me. well after still being irregular and showing all the signs you just described I called a different doctor, and turns out I have Polysistic Ovarian Syndrome. I can't get pregnant without medication. Oh and Withdrawl method doesn't always work. My sister learned that.
