Please someone out there post back and let me know what you think. I started (for the second time in October) on Oct. 31, but it was gone by the next night! The following day I had nothing, but then for the next 3 days, I spotted, so lightly, I only noticed when I wiped (sorry tmi!). I talked with my Mom last night, and she thinks there might be a chance that I'm pregnant, but I'm scared. See, today is a year to the day of when I found out I was pregnant for the first time. I m/c a month later. I would be so ecstatic if it turns out I'm PG, but I can't let myself hope too much. My so called period, came a week earlier than it should have, so with that, and how long it stayed, have me really wondering. My sister is in town right now, and is bringing me back a HPT, so I can test. I'm worried that if it comes up BFN, then there is something wrong with me. Last month,(I started Oct. 5 and went thru the 7th) my period was a little off, but this time was much more wacky! I guess I just need someone elses opinion on this. I really want to be pregnant, but like I said, I don't want to get my hopes up too high. If anyone has some hope, or advice for me, it would make me feel better! Thanks a bunch!

Lauren - go to this article and read up on implantation bleeding. Your symptoms sounds like this, but I'm no expert. I just been reading up a lot on conception so the subject of bleeding a little at the time a period was to start came up a lot and is called implantation bleeding. I counted from your LMP to the day that one day bleeding occured and this was 27 days into your cycle. I'm not sure if your AF's are regular, but this info may help you. If you can't go to the link by copying and pasting to the address, type in implantation on the search engine in ivillage.com and read the fourth article called "Pregnancy: Is it implantation bleeding?" Let me know if this info is helpful.

Thanks,

Melissa

Lauren,

I really can't offer much in the way of advice but I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. I want so badly to be pregnant too, and it sounds like we are having similar symptoms. Irregular periods can be so frustrating!!! Are you having any other sypmtoms of pregnacy?

Let me know and good luck!

Thank you Melissa for your post!

I checked out the link, and it does sound like it could be implantation bleeding, but I'm just nervous about thinking too much about it. I don't really have any symptoms, but then again, I didn't the last time I was pregnant, (m/c that one). It was only after I found out I was PG that I got symptoms! :) I do have some bad headaches over the last few days, got sick to my stomache once, but blew that off as eating something bad. Who knows, I'm taking a test today... so we'll see.

Thanks again!

Kristy, thanks for your post also. I'm not really having any symptoms, I do have bad headaches right now, and I think I've put on a couple of pounds, not sure how, but they are there... also, my boobs feel heavy and maybe fuller. My nips were sensitive a few days back, but not much else. Last time I was pregnant, (m/c that one), I didn't get any symptoms really until AFTER I found out!! :) It's weird how that happens.... Anyway, I'm hoping to test in a bit, so we'll see...

Hi Lauren,

I understand about not getting your hopes up. I'm a week late and my AF's are always on time. I had a urine test done yesterday at doc's office, but it came back negative. I'm anal about not seeing the actual results so I am too going to do a hpt tonight. I just need to see the results for myself. Sorry about your m/c. I have a DD who is 4 yrs old and when I was pg w/ her I only had the frequent urination and missed period as my symptoms. I didn't get the others until after testing pos. I have a headach now, but I am also a sufferer of Migraines. The only thing is they have slowed down the last few months and in the last week have been coming back more again. I didn't get any headaches during my first pg, but who knows. I hear each one is different. Well I pray that you get your pos. result and that all goes well for you. Good Luck and keep in touch.

Melissa

Well, my sis couldn't find any pregnancy tests at the store I sent her to (grocery store with none? I should've gone with her... lol). Darn. :-/ Oh well, I guess I have to wait till Friday, or next Wednesday.... aaaghh! The more I think about everything, I do think there is a possibility that I am PG. But then again, I've seen alot of BFN's, so it just seems unreal to think that I could have a BFP! I almost feel like there is a YI coming on, just slightly itchy, (sorry!), but it's hard to tell. My headache is better for the moment, I was really hoping to test today, it's been a year since the last time I got pregnant, and today was the day we found out... Our anniversary is on the 17th, so it was an awesome surprise last year!! One year anniversary and we were pregnant!!! But sadly, we m/c a month later....

I think I've got some really mild cramps, but they are so mild, it's really hard to tell if they are there or not. I'm trying to debate whether or not to buy a test, or just wait for my next AF... I can't really afford to waste yet another HPT and have it be BFN. But the not knowing till next month might just drive me mad! LoL I'm a little timid in telling my husband that I want to test yet again... I did tell him that my mother suggested I see a doc to find out why my period was so short. I don't want him to think that I want this so bad that I'm making things up. I love him so much, but I think this time I will just wait and see what happens. I am taking folic acid now too, just in case. It would just be freaky if it turns out I am pregnant, cuz that means I got pregnant the same time as I did last year! Anybody ever do that?! :-D

Alright, I think this is long enuf for now..... I hate the not knowing!

Thanks for taking time to read this!
