Hi All!

My name is Mel, I'm 31yrs old, and this is my first post (I've been lurking since my DH and I have been TTC#1 starting last March).
I have a weird situation to ask about:
I am on my second month using the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor. My last cycle was 31 days and I o'd around 6/28 per the monitor. My DH and I had i/c accordingly and AF came as normal on 7/12. For my current cycle, the monitor asked me to test starting on CD 10 and immediately jumped to High Fertility (but not Peak). I thought maybe this would be a shorter cycle than before, but it has not gone to peak and has stayed at high ever since. My DH and I have been having i/c everyday just in case I jump up to peak (5 days now). I have also been off an on nauseated, REALLY tired, some headache, and mild constant cramping. This is not normal for me. I usually have cramping 5 days before AF, but this is way too early. About 1 year ago I got pregnant while on bc, but it did not last and I was never late nor did I miss a period.
I have heard that people can have their period and still be pregnant. Most info is about implantation bleeding, but I'm sure that's not what I had.
Has anyone out there had this experience?
I have not taken a HPT because this all seems weird.

Please help!

While it hasn't happened to me, I have 2 friends who had AF visit the first month they were actually PG. One said she was lighter than normal and the other had no clue. I'd test to be sure.

Thanks for the info!

Of course, this morning my monitor showed that I have moved up to peak, which means I should be o'ing. All this worry for nothing. Not sure why I'm having all these weird symptoms though. I'm going to wait on the testing for a few days to see what happens.

Take care,

Mel:)

I agree!

Back on 6/28/97, I had a very light AF visit--it only lasted 4 days then disappeared. Up until that month, all my periods had been 4 days long, but there were 2 heavy days & 2 light days. I had no idea I was pg. until 8/12 that year--at which point I was exactly 7 weeks along! Right now I'm here 'cause last week I had the GI symptoms (upset stomach, tiredness) but ever since I've had a constant cramping sensation in my uterine area. Two negative HPTs have me confused & now I'm waiting.

I sure hope you get the answer you want! Good luck *not* going crazy while you wait!
