Can I be pregnant?

Hi everyone, I'm new here so I'm just getting a feel for how things work.

I have a few questions and I'm curious about your experiences with this.

I know I should see a doctor, but I prefer to ask here first.

I've had a 33-day cycle for 5 months now. I'm not using any contraception.
My last period was on August 15th. About 1.5 weeks later I had some bleeding again—it wasn't as heavy as my normal period and was actually way too early. It only lasted 4 days, whereas my periods usually last around 7 days.

Could this be implantation bleeding?

After my period on August 15th, I wanted to start using ovulation tests (I had quite a few left over).

Yesterday and today I did an ovulation test 'on a whim'. Both were positive (I didn't use first morning urine and I drank a lot).

My next period is due on September 17th.

I'm looking forward to hearing your experiences and tips.

Thanks everyone!

Best, Naantje

    The only tip I can give you is to try a pregnancy test.
    If it's negative, try another one a few days later.

    Good luck!

    I didn't even see that you replied, sorry! Today my due date is still nothing to worry about!!

    Doesn't matter.
    But if you're ready today, you can go ahead and test!

    I'm going to buy a test soon, it's quite nerve-wracking. No period yet.

    So exciting!!!
    I'm rooting for you!

    Tested yesterday. Not with morning urine, but it was negative. No period yet.

  8. jessie95 #9

    Exciting, right? Tomorrow with the morning urine test!

    Had to work, silly me. I think I'll test with the VVN first thing tomorrow morning! Still not on my period.

    I tested this morning and it had a faint line.

  11. jessie95 #12

    Oh exciting, I'll test again in 2 days then

  12. Naantje started this #13

    Yeah, I will do that. My friend had it too, it was very mild, and she's now 13 weeks pregnant, so I'm curious.

    A line is a line, so to be sure, do it again.

    Did another test today and it’s negative..

    Sorry Naan! If you saw a faint line on a previous test, it could mean you were briefly pregnant.. This is from wiki: Miscarriages are more common than most people think. About 25% of all women experience one in their lifetime. If counted from the moment of fertilization, up to 90% of all fertilized eggs may be expelled prematurely; however, very early pregnancies that end in miscarriage are often not even noticed, as a normal period follows, or it just comes a day or two later. So half of all pregnancies end before the woman even knows she's pregnant.

    Hen contacted the midwife who said it's quite possible that I'm pregnant, and I should assume that for now. She mentioned that it's not uncommon for the second test to be negative. So keep a little hope, hifi. This is also because I'm already 10 days late.

    Quickly get your blood drawn, I'm rooting for you!

    Hi everyone!

    I have a question: could you give me your opinion on my nerve-wracking situation?

    I was supposed to get my period last Monday, September 21st. So today I am 10 days late.

    I always have a regular cycle of 28 days.

    About 1-2 weeks after my last period, I got this unbelievable pain in my breasts that was unbearable. They were very tense and even walking hurt. I was also very emotional; I would suddenly break down crying in front of my boyfriend. Sometime during that week, I also lost a small string of pink mucus. But I didn't think much of it. On the Friday before I was supposed to get my period (so September 18th), I got some bleeding in the afternoon. I thought that was weird since I wasn't supposed to start until Monday. Oh well, I accepted it and assumed my period was just early this month. I think I bled through about 2 pads that day, and it stopped that evening. After that, I bled absolutely nothing, except for a tiny little bit of brown discharge when wiping afterwards.

    My breasts don't hurt anymore, but they are still a bit swollen. I get heartburn now and then, but that goes away quickly too. Also, the thought of certain foods and drinks makes me nauseous, and I have a really gurgling stomach in the evenings. Here and there I get some cramps that feel like period cramps (maybe 3 times a day), but my period is keeping me waiting!

    On the 3rd day I was late, I took a test, and one week after I was actually supposed to have started, I took another one. Both gave negative results.

    Does anyone have advice on what to do or has experienced the same thing? I'm getting quite insecure about this, especially since the tests keep showing negative results.

    Hugs,

    Insecure girl

    If I were you, I’d go to the GP for a quick check—they can take a blood sample so you’ll know if everything’s okay.

    Wishing you lots of luck, x
