Help?!

Hi everyone,

I stopped the pill on October 2nd and got my period on October 5th as usual. Then I got my period again on November 5th (very painful with a lot of bleeding). After that, I started using ovulation tests, but I couldn't get a positive result, so I just had sex every other day. I also kept having pain in my lower right abdomen when pressing, sneezing, or moving quickly.

I was supposed to get my period on December 7th, but for two days before that, I had really bad stomach pain at night (I was curled up in a ball and didn't know what to do with it). On December 7th, I didn't get my period, but I did have menstrual-like cramps that lasted for about a minute and then went away. I took a pregnancy test then, and it was negative. I waited until I got my period, which finally came 6 days later (today, December 12th). I still have menstrual cramps, but not as severe as last time, and much less pain. There's almost no blood, just some brown spotting.

Could it be that I am pregnant after all, but my pregnancy hormone (hCG) was too low to detect on December 7th? I really want to test again tomorrow, but I'm worried something might be wrong because I had so much stomach pain that night. Does anyone here recognize this?

    Hi!
    I’ve had this a lot too! Every month I’d have a different “start,” but usually when I was overdue and really hoping, I’d get brown blood. I kept believing it might not be a period after all, but then it turned red after two days. I really hope you’re pregnant!! I’m curious and secretly hoping it’s implantation bleeding for you!

    Hey Elisa,
    Glad I'm not the only one haha..
    But isn't it too late for implantation?
    I haven't had a positive ovulation test but did have sex every other day for 2 weeks, but that was 2-3 weeks ago. I'm going to do a pregnancy test tomorrow just to be sure. I hope for a positive result but expect it not to be!
    Thanks for your answer! Love ??

    Sorry, the question marks after 'liefs' should be a smiley..

    Hmm yeah, a friend of mine didn't get a positive ovulation test either, but they still had sex every other day. She thought she had gotten her period... but it turned out to be old blood from implantation. But I'll test early tomorrow morning, I'm curious!! I'll root for you

    But you were already six days overdue, she wasn't overdue but a day before, did she have that bleeding?

    Okay, thanks for your answer. We'll see tomorrow!

    I want to upload a photo but it's not working!!
    I do see a faint second line but I don't dare to be happy. How do I upload a photo?? Help! Haha

    He's now on my own profile, can you take a look?

    Did one more from Action with fresh pee (though I did drink a whole cup of chocolate milk in the meantime), and it only shows one line.. The first test was my pee really yellow and a faint line, my 2nd pee with the Action test was almost water-colored.
    Should I test again tomorrow morning with first morning pee??

    In the months when I wasn't pregnant, I didn't see anything at all! When I had a line like your photo, I was really pregnant!! I think it's quite exciting for you. It's a bit weird that the one from Action is actually white.. even though it's afternoon urine

  11. sneeuw123 #12

    Pff, exciting..
    I also find it weird, indeed. But the color difference in the urine was really quite different. I just bought the 2-for-€5 tests from Kruidvat. I'll do them tomorrow morning.. pff, exciting

  12. sneeuw123 #13

    So, another positive test.. the tests are from 2besure. This result was clearer than the one from this afternoon. After that, I did a test from Kruidvat with the same urine as before. But that one was negative again.. I don't understand anything anymore.. are the 2be sure tests not good?
    Do you have experience with them?

  13. elisa #14

    Hey snow, how are you? Did you test this morning? Dare not to ask..

  14. sneeuw123 #15

    Hey! Yes, I did test again with a regular test. Negative unfortunately. I got informed and unfortunately had an early miscarriage in week 3. Unfortunately!

  15. sneeuw123 #16

    Sweet that you asked, by the way!

  16. elisa #17

    Oh, really? That's so sad
    Oh, I hope you're pregnant this round and stay pregnant! I once read that a woman who just had a miscarriage might be more fertile afterward, but I'm not sure..

  17. elisa #18

    Yeah, I know from my own experience how incredibly awful it is to get your period every single month. Especially when you first test positive. I really feel so sad hearing that. How many rounds have you already gone through?

  18. sneeuw123 #19

    Yeah, that's right! I hope I'll be more fertile this time and that this round works out. Not much has happened yet though, this is only my 3rd month without the pill! So now it's round 3! It's of course a bit disappointing, but when I held the positive test in my hand, I knew something wasn't right, so I couldn't really be happy yet. Next time for sure!
