What are the odds?
| Fri, 07-22-2011 - 1:55pm |
Hey ladies. I'm not necessarily trying to conceive buy my husband and I aren't exactly trying not to. But I was just curious about my current situation. I stopped taking bc the beginning of this year (which I had been on since DS was born in '08) in the hopes that when we were ready to ttc this year, there wouldn't be any problems. But my husband also suffers from hypogonadism, and due to the injections he's been on since last year, our odds of conceiving right now are practically nill.
So, for the past several months we just haven't been worrying about conceiving. And we've been intimate just before or during ovulation, with no result. Now, my question is, what are the odds I could be pregnant? The last time we were intimate was on June 13 during ovulation. Exactly eight days later, I started spotting, 7 days before my period was due. But the spotting lasted for a little more than two days before getting heavier, and basically turning into a regular 4 day period. I just figured my cycle changed and I got my period early. Now nearly a month later, I'm 2 days late. I haven't had any streaking which is normal for me a day or two before af. And my nipples were actually a little sore a good week before my breasts started hurting. I'm almost never late, so I'm wondering if what I thought was my period last month, could've actually been implantation bleeding. It was a little too heavy for the norm but, seriously, what are the odds?
P.S. I'm still expecting my period to just sneak up, but curiosity has got the better of for the moment ;-)

I am not going to say that it is impossible, but I will say it is very rare that you would get a full 4 day period for implantation bleeding. I have heard of women who bleed every 30 days the whole time they are pregnant though. The best thing to do is POAS and if you still don't get AF, see your doctor.
