Hi

Well after numerous tests, including a clear blue digital one, it looks like I am pregnant. I must admit, the signs are good but I am completely confused. I am going to the doctors on Monday and I know the first question they will ask is what was the first day of my last period. How am I going to explain this (apologies for the long post!):

My first day started on Saturday 13th Sept - it was brown cm and it was light - I only needed a pantyliner, if anything. This continued until Thursday 18th Sept when it became more red and period like. This period type blood lasted until Saturday 20th Sept and then it became different. I noticed it was darker red, like the end of my period blood but it was shiny? I know this sounds daft, but I thought to myself that it looked as though it was streaked with ewcm. It was not just normal end-of-your-period blood, it was thinner and stretchier.

Anyway, by Monday morning it was super light coloured and it was only there when I wiped. OH woke up feeling horny and so we did the deed then, even though I was slightly worried I was still spotting. He never noticed anything and after we did it, there was only very, very light coloured cm, no blood - this lasted until about Wednesday.

Then, this Monday I had pains in my left hand side, near my ovary region which lasted throughout the day, but had gone by Tuesday morning. Since then I have just had the odd twinge. I also had browny cm, so I thought it was ovulation and lept on OH!

On Tuesday, I did a ov test and it was positive, so I really thought I was finally ovulating and lept on OH again. But, on Wednesday I was still ovulating according to the ov tests, which was strange, and so this made me do my first preg test, which was faint but positive. I then did another later in the evening which was still faint but definitely a positive. I did another test yesterday morning and that was clearly a positive and so I did the digi when I got to work which also said I was pregnant.

My question, although rather drawn out (sorry!) is could I have ovulated at the end of my period - was it a period at all, and if I did ovulate would I (if I hadn't conceived) have had my 'real' period this Sunday/Monday - hence the preg tests already showing a positive? I thought it weird that I was getting a positive preg test already as I assumed, on the basis that my period had started officially with the red blood on 18th September, that my next period wouldn't be due until 16th October (based on a 28 day cycle) - which is weeks off!!!

Anyone with any experience, views etc, I would love to hear them. I am so happy to have a bfp but I am also worried that my hormones are all over the place and therefore the little eggy won't be able to stick.

Thanks!

Hi hun I've not got experience of this but I know that my mum usually had 28 day cycles and got pregnant with me at the end of her period.

Not mulp I know but just wanted to let you know it happens

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
 
aparently some women ov during thier period so it's perfectly normal :D congrats on your bfp :cheer: :cheer:
 
Congrats on your bfp :cheer: :cheer:

It could be worth trying one of those new hpt, the clearblue digi with conception indicator as it will tell you how many weeks ago you conceived.

It is also possible your last period was not a period but an implantation bleed?
 
Thanks guys - much appreciated. I did use the digi which has the conception guide on there - it said 1-2 so, I am guessing it's happened quite recently! I am surprised at how quick I got a positive test result though - I had a positive opk on Monday which is when I susect implantation, so them hormones must release pretty quick!! I am still in shock - can't wait to get to the doctors and have it confirmed!
 
I would think you ovulated maybe 8 days or so ago - and thats why you were getting positive on the OPK's - the HCG hormone can make the OPK positive as well as a HPT which might explain why you thought you were ovulating much later than you were!

Your body wont produce any HCG until the egg has implanted.......and to get a positive on a HPT you need to be at least 7-8dpo minimum!

Im sure the doctor can help, and if all else fails they will be able to give you a much better indication when you have your 12 week scan in a few months :D

Much more importantly - CONGRATULATIONS :cheer:
 
Congratulations, not sure about your dates but maybe the doctors will send you for a dating scan in a few weeks, I'm sure your hormones are ok, if the test is picking them up then hopefully every thing will be ok :hug: :hug:
 
:hug: by my calcs you will be 3weeks pregnant tomorrow :hug: :hug: , ties in with an end of af ovulation! I'm supposing it's quite rare, when I checked out the ff charts the least I saw was cd9.
Makes me wonder how many more ovulate when on af and dont even know?
 
Thanks guys for the congratulations :hug: :hug: :hug: - I think I probably ovulated 3 weeks ago tomorrow too. I have had a slight browny discharge since Monday, I wish it would go because it's stressing me out but hopefully it's normal implantation gunk! It's not heavy, just there when I wipe really.
