Pregnant with AF??
| Wed, 08-06-2003 - 11:36pm |
How many of you, who are TTC #2 or more have had AF while pregnant? I always here people who say their grandmother did, their aunt, or someone they knew, but I'm looking for a personal experience. Or if you know anything about it, will you still have the hormone like a normal pregnancy that would show up on HPT?

Hope you don't mind, but I'll share another second-hand story with you... My SIL (she's married to my DH's brother) gave birth to her daughter in September 1999. They started TTC again in April 2001. She got what appeared to be a normal AF April 2002... everything about it looked and felt to her like a normal AF. Since she had gotten AF (or so she thought), she didn't take an HPT. She didn't miss a period until her next AF was due, and then she started to develop symptoms. She was a little confused why the symptoms were hitting her so early... then she went to the doctor, only to find out she was 8 weeks along! (Not 4 like she thought). Today they are proud parents to a darling son in addition to their daughter.
Of course, had she taken a HPT earlier (even though she had gotten AF), it still should have detected the HCG.
