Am i, aren't i? Really need advice :(

[Claire_Joannah]

Hi Girls
Hope your all well - im new to this so excuse me for not knowing abreviations regarding pregnancy etc.
Just really could do with some advice, as feel as if iam going mad!
I think iam in the middle of the 2WW - i think of nothing else....my last period was on the 22nd of july - im pretty sure i conceived around the 2nd of this month (Sept) as we have been trying for 3 months.
I got abit of brown coloured spotting on monday just gone ( 12th sept) it lasted 2 days it was very light...now ive been having cramping - with a slight pain on my right side that comes and goes...this has been followed up with a slightly raised temp & the last couple of days i have been feeling really tired....i know it was ridiculous but i went and bought a test today - made sure my urine was concentrated and tested only to get a BFN I know in my heart it's too early to tell - im not sure if my pregnancy symptoms are just in my mind...im dreaming of pregnancy almost every night, my back aches and my nose is stuffy - i had cold symptoms but isit just too early for all of this? Can someone please shed some light for me?
I was on the depo provera contraception injection for only 3 months that ended in may...i didn't have another injection after that but i know this can affect your cycle - althou i started back with my periods in June.
Does it sound like ive had implantation bleeding? or just the affects of the depo?
I have 1 daughter already - a 5 year old...im desperate to give her a little bro or sis - sorry about going on....i just find i can't wait - i 'feel' pregnant - but don't wanna set myself up for a fall
Thanks for any advice girls xxxx

Do you know when you ovulated?

 

[Claire_Joannah]

I think it was around the 1st to the 5th of this month - im so out of tune with calculating ovulation eeekkk xx

 

[Princess81]

Well it would only be on one day that you ovulated so that's quite a broad scope for you to work from. You do have some symptoms but, period symptoms can be very similar to those of early pregnancy. I know it's really frustrating but I would continue to test periodically and see what happens. Not much use I'm afraid.
If this turns out not to be your month and your period comes, I'd suggest using ovulation predictor kits during your next cycle, from day 9 onwards to see if you can detect a surge in the hormones x

Thanks hun - your right, im really crap at keeping track of when im most likely to conceive as i wasn't having any periods with the depo - but i seriously need to start tracking it all down...I hope these arent pm symptoms - knowing my luck it will be thou x

 

[Princess81]

I can totally sympathise. I didn't have a period at all for nearly a year when I came off the pill x

 

[Claire_Joannah]

Oh god thats a long time - you must of been at the end of your teather
I see you have a lovely baby on the way now thou hun...big congrats
How long did it take you to catch after you started getting your periods back? (If you don't mind me asking) xxx

 

[Princess81]

well, personally I had some problems that went un-diagnosed because I was on the pill for so long. Once that was sorted I got pregnant within 2 weeks but sadly lost the first baby and then got pregnant again with this one three months later x

 

[Claire_Joannah]

That's fab hun - something good came out of all the rubbish times you had, do you know what your having yet? exciting times ahead for you ....ive had 2 miscarriages plus a chemical pregnancy last year, so frustrating and soul destroying.
The only thing that's keeping me going is this (what i believe) implantation bleeding - ive had it with 2 past pregnancys....it olny lasted 2 days - thats whats telling me this can't be a period?! x

 

[Princess81]

Well see if you know your own body's symptoms like you do then that's a really good indicator - so maybe this is it for you but you need to leave a little longer til testing.
We aren't finding out the sex, team yellow all the way

Sorry to hear of your losses, I hope that you have your sticky bean very soon x

 

[joannaB]

What's the latest it would show up?

Also yay fir team yellow! I'm totally on that team if im pregnant

Try not to be too excited thOugh. Losing a baby at 5/6 months is one if the worst kinds of pain I have ever experienced

 

[Claire_Joannah]

Thanks girls - I know its hard not to get your hopes up thou isnt it...i see a couple of symptoms & almost convince myself iam PG xx
Team yellow all the wayyyy xxx
