Not sure...symptoms or just AF
| Fri, 08-08-2003 - 9:22am |
I have a question. I was on BCP for one month (21 days) and then on day 22 I had brown spotting for 3 days. Nothing after that. That was July 21st. Now if I treat that like an AF, then I am not CD 19 of a 26 day cycle, 8dpo. I have been feeling very tired, back ache, nauseous, crampy, etc. My stomach burns...I don't know if that is the right way to put it but constantly churning. If the June 21st thing was only spotting, could I be prego? I am feeling symptoms like I had with my other two pg and don't knw what to think. I am either on CD 19 or 2 weeks overdue for AF. I took a test a few days ago early evening after drinking coffee all day which came back BFN. Any thoughts are appreciated.....

TTC#3, CD 19? 8DPO?

I would test again with first morning urine in about a week or so. Based on what you said with your period being a matter of spotting brown for 3 days I'm apt to think that unless that is how AF normally shows your her wrath, then you could very likely be preg. Implantation usually occurs between 7-10dpo and sometimes as late as 12 dpo so I would wait until around 15-17dpo before you test again. There are way too many factors that can cause so many different things from late periods to no periods to late ovulation you name it. So before writing it off as AF or before telling yourself you're probably pregnant I would wait until next Friday/Saturday to test again but using first morning urine only.
Let me know how it goes.
Good luck

Thank you for your advice. AF is usually pretty long 5 days and red. This was nothing like that. If that was an AF, AF should arrive 8/15 or 8/16. I will probably wait until then to test but what if I am PG and should be stopping the caffeine, etc.
This is just the strangest month for AF I have ever had. Not knowing is really tough.
Thanks again.

So yeah test next weekend if AF doesn't arrive, and if she arrives in the same way that she did the last time then just go talk to your doctor and let him/her know what's going on and that you are TTC and you want to know if this is a problem.
Do you chart at all????

I will probably wait until next weekend and just watch my consumption of things. I am consatntly feeling full, too. That is strnage for me.
I am not charting or temping. We got pretty lucky with our two DDs. We got preg month one off bcp with our oldest (4 1/2) and month two with our second (2 years). We TTC for 4-5 months and then stopped for a month and now are TTC again. Another reason I think I might be PG is that BCP seem to jump start things for me. What if it did this time? :)
Are you PG now?
