Hi Ladies, I need some help (and encouragement).
I suffered a late miscarriage (4 months) 8 weeks ago and am now actively trying to concieve. I had a positive OPK on CD13 so my partner and I had intercourse that same day. Since then, I have been feeling an array of symptoms that I am trying really hard to ignore in case I am making them all up!
Some of the "symptoms" I have been getting are:
Feeling extremely faint (especially when I stand up)
Fatigue not long after I wake up
Sharp headaches that seem come and go
Shooting pains in breasts - breasts also feel bigger
Sharp pain on right side of uterus (from 3dpo to 7dpo)
Lots of bloating and gas (sorry tmi)
I started spotting from 7DPO which is the most spotting I have seen since I miscarried. I had very light spotting at the time my period was due (3 weeks ago) so I counted this as a period. I then ovulated exactly 2 weeks later so I assumed my cycle was back to normal.
I am wondering whether this recent spotting is my "real" period as it is slightly heavier. However, what makes my think this isn't a period is the colour, which is browny/red and hardly ever makes it down to my pantyliner.
I had all of these symptoms for my last pregnancy which was a complete accident so I wasn't tracking at the time and I can't remember the details.
I am also charting my temps on FertilityFriend and noticed a slight dip today but not below my coverline which is so confusing.
Could this be implantation? Or has AF come to rear her ugly head?
Your experiences will be great...THANKS!
