Pregnant?...Not pregnant?...
| Sat, 08-16-2003 - 10:12am |
I am just losing my mind here. Get ready for this one. My husband left for a deployment about two months ago. While he was here, I was taking birth control fairly regularly (I was still periodically forgetting). He left in mid June. I had a normal period in July, but as of a few days ago, I had missed my period for August which would have occurred two weeks ago. I have also noticed slight weight gain. I had been passing this off as due to stress, when a friend finally convinced me to go get a pregnancy test at the hospital. I took a blood test and it came back positive. So now, my husband has been gone for exactly 2 months. I am already 2 months pregnant!? I was shocked. This morning however, I woke up only to find that I AM on my period now. What does this mean!? If you're wondering... I have no other symptoms... no breast tenderness, no morning sickness... HELP!? Am I pregnant or not? And how common is it to have period during pregnancy. My doctor had told me that the one in July was probably normal, since it was most likely so soon after fertilization. But 2 periods? Please help.

Thanks again to all who replied.
One of my gfs went in for sinus surgery and they came into the room and told her they couldn't do the surgery because she was pg! She was 43 ( in great shape and doesn't look it! ) and was NOT expecting this news. It was a total shocker. So, they did another urine test and it came up positive. So, she made an appt with her OB/GYN and he took blood. It came back NEGATIVE. She was flipping out......not pregnant.....pregnant....then, told not pregnant. So, she asked for another blood test and it was POSITIVE! Her doctor had no explanation. She figures some other girl was probably told she WAS pregnant....that it was a lab error. Just wild.
So, you just never know! I never had a clue as to how involved and complicated this all could be! And, the waiting......UGH! Anyway, glad you hopefully know what's going on with you and that you're well! Best wishes :) Missy
