What's Happening Now
I then started spotting.
then I bled for about 24 hours (not too heavy but definitely not light) with bright red blood.
Now I've been spotting for a few days since.
My normal period is 3 days or so of very heavy flo and then very light for a day or two and then one last heavy day.
Have headaches, stomach still not right, and still tired.
My fiance says "well some women bleed when they are still pregnant, right?"
I don't know if I should test again or wait until my next missed period.
We are getting married this Sunday so I'm thinking stress may be a culprit of this odd period, though I don't feel stressed at all.
Anyone have any ideas? should I just wait?View Thread
You got a positive pregnancy test anyways, so you definitely need to go to the doctor to see if you are still pregnant or not.
Good luck.View Thread

But that's okay...we obviously weren't trying being on birth control but we are going to start actively trying in the next few months. Congrats on getting married! That's great! And good luck to you as well!

I apologize for rambling, it's been driving me crazy...View Thread
I do not suffer from PCOS myself so I cannot relate to what it causes.
From what you wrote, it sounds like it could possibly be something else... most women don't exhibit pregnancy symptoms the day after conception.
However, if you have irregular periods, you could also have irregular ovulation and you could've been fertile earlier in your cycle.
Chances are that it's too early to take a HPT.
You have a few options: (1) wait until you have missed your next period and take a HPT; (2) wait a week to see if your symptoms go away - if not make a doctors appointment; (3) make a doctors appointment now just to make sure everything is ok.
Good luck and keep us posted!View Thread
Congratulations!!View Thread
it takes the average healthy couple up to 12 months to conceive.
If you conceive before than, you are the lucky one.
I have been TTC since December and it's rough - and disappointing.
So, I told myself, I would not test until I'm 7 days late...
And, I keep telling myself that AF is coming and I am expecting to get her each month.
keeping myself from testing before the 7 days is hard, but it takes so much stress off!
Keep up the faith... and HAVE FUN with it!

The sooner you know the better, as most women need to make some lifestyle modifications in order to ensure the optimal health of the baby upon being born.View Thread
It's also possible it's just an off period. They happen.
Take a test and if it's negative, wait and see what next month brings.View Thread

I drove myself crazy for the first three months of trying, thinking every little thing my body was doing was a sign of pregnancy.
Honestly, it could be either one at this point.
My advice to you is, to avoid disappointment this month, wait until your period is 7 days late and then take a HPT.
Also, my doctor told me that 70% of healthy fertile couples conceive in 12 months of trying, so to expect 12 periods before a positive. This has helped a lot as I still hope that I do get a positive before than, but it's taken the pressure off.
Good luck! I hope it works out for you!View Thread
Lower abdomen cramps could be so many things...
I would say, go to the doctor and discuss with them. I doubt you're pregnant.View Thread
My fiance and I are TTC and I've talked to my doctor.
What she told me is that you ovulate around 14 days before your expected period - generally.
It sounds like that is around the time you had the incident.
Also, all women are different - some women don't show positive pregnancy tests for awhile because it takes more time to build the hormone.
However, if you haven't missed a second period yet, don't worry about it until then. If you do, then just go to the doctor and tell them you want to just be sure.
Number one thing though... try not to stress. I know it's hard, but stress in itself can make you skip a period.
Good luck and, remember, no matter what happens, everything will work out how it should.View Thread
that's the only way to be sure you have no infection. It may not be a yeast infection but could be bacterial vaginosis.
Was your early period lighter than normal?
It's pretty normal to get early or even late periods now and again. There are a lot of different things that can change your cycle.
you should wait until you are a week late, and then test.View Thread
You should wait until your period is about a week late and then test.
If you are still having symptoms and issues, go to your doctor and get tested.
Good luck.View Thread
Take a test and let us know.
Good luck!View Thread
I'd wait another week or two and re-test.View Thread
