this is a dumb question but if you get pregnant the days before ovulation would you still ovulate? or would it immediately stop? since I know once you're pregnant you don't ovulate. so what happens if you have sex on your fertile day before ovulation?

I was worried yesterday whether im ovulating again. I'm kinda keeping my hopes up that since I'm late for af that there is a chance I cud still be pg. doing my blood hcg tomorrow, then hopefully find some answers to the way I've been feeling. I feel soooooo hormonal its rediculous. But I guess even if I'm not, i will still be happy with ovulating. Made an appt with my gyn for friday morning regardless if which way this goes. Slightly concerned that I may be experiencing an ectopic pg. :/

Hi, 

I just noticed this rare active thread after a couple of days of searching all over the net, so I thought I'd stop to say good luck to those ttc, and also to share my story in hope of someone replying!

I came off microgynon in December, and 6 weeks later after no period I started to get brown spotting. This went on for a while, making me think it was actually my period, until the start of feb when I actually started to bleed and felt that I was having a period as I remember them, with cramps and a proper flow. I was so relieved that things seemed to be back to normal. Then it stopped after 6 days, which was completely normal. Then a week later, I had what I thought was ovulation spotting on the 13th day of my cycle, as it was very light brown once that day and I had some sharp pains in my left lower abdomen. I was again relieved thinking I was back to normal. But then 2 days later I started spotting again, and it then turned into red bleeding, not as heavy as a period, but I had cramps to go with it which made me think I was having another period. So I started worrying about this, and then it just stopped. I had a small amount of blood after sex yesterday but nothing else since Tuesday, and I've been having strange cramps/twinges down there even since I stopped bleeding, still happening now ! 

 

I have no idea what's going on with my body, but if anyone can help that'd be great!

Hi ladies! Thank you all for posting, reading all your posts really puts me at ease and is wonderful that we all are together on this. I am very irregular and haven't been on birth control in years. Most of what I see are ladies with very regular bleedings. Have been exhausted, with dull headaches, mood swings, sometimes I want to eat everything and at other times I feel too nauseous to eat. I wake up at 7 am and by 1pm I am so tired, ready to sleep at 9 pm every night! My entire life I have been a steady 97-100 pound twig with teeny breasts but this month I put on 11 pounds and my breasts hurt for a week and a half and now are full (yay)! But also unheard of. My sister and mother were astonished. Actively TTC for two months.. With a few neg HPT's ... I got crazy cramping and dull aching for a day. So I figured, darn my period. Sore cervix and odd bleeding, thinking I was pregnant I went to the ER. After initial heavy onslaught of this bleeding, (red and brown blood) it went away after 5 hours! The next two days were so light I didn't need a pad. My breasts remain huge (for me) but no longer hurt. Constantly feel odd tingling sensation but may be from working out. Constantly lightheaded, nauseous but not enough to purge. Will be getting another Dr appointment this afternoon! Will update for sure. What do you ladies think? Hopefully I can be helpful for someone! Baby dust for all!

Turtlelove and Xotamara, you gals are the best. Completely feeling some of your "pains". Xo, the mood swings are the same with me. One I am upset, I just cry and lay under my sheets like ill never be happy again and then whoosh, my friend will make me laugh and I'm ok haha I hope it's not a bad case of PMS on my part

I will keep my fingers crossed for all of you! (: I'm at the point I'm not even going to test for pregnancy until my missed period. I always seem to get my hopes up plus its very costly. roughly 12 more days for me ahhhh. let me know if either of your symptoms change because today I noticed an increase in sensitivity in my breast. like turtle love said it'd be nice for us all to compare through this journey. <3

Update: I did my bloodwork this morning, and got another negative result. I really feel like at this point, I'm more disappointed because I still haven't gotten my af. And although I'm actively ttc and really paying attention to my body, I'm up to my ears with frustration. 

I went from a 28 day cycle to a 33 day cycle. This happened in August, when I got no af at all. We weren't ttc at that point, and I KNEW I was stressed out. July was the last of my 28DC..and September is when my 33DC began. I honestly believe that my cycle change had to do with the fact that there were 2 full moons in the month of August (also known as a 'Blue Moon'). This only occurs every few years. 

Hubby and I were going to start TTC in October, but I wanted to make sure that my cycle remained regular for a few months before we tried. So..we started at the end of December. 

I keep reading that the reason your period may come late is because you didn't ovulate when you thought you did. However, I did a Digital OPK, which I read that you can't get a false positive with. So I know exactly when I ovulated. 

Ovualted and had sex at the right time. Began spotting 8 days later, at the right time. Now missed period. Symptoms up the wazooo!! How can I not be pregnant? But the test keeps saying negative. Couldn't get more blunt than that. Hopefully my OBGYN appt tomorrow can give me some answers. 

I know how frustrating this is ladies - You want this so bad, you pay attention to the signs, things match up perfectly, and yet..negatives and one lines is what we get?!? 

I hope everyone see's a positive/double lines really soon!! Baby Dust to you all!! & don't forget to come back and let us know when it happens for you!!

So pleased to have found an active thread based on heavy implantation bleeding! Me and my husband are trying for a baby. We made love aroubd ovulation time. A week later I experienced cramping, 2 days of bleeding gums, nausea, 3 days of extreme tiredness, needing to pee more frequently and urgently, and headaches. My period came 1 day late but with noticeable differences. I always cramp first an then bleed, however this time I hled and then cramped. The flow was light red coloured and very watery for a day, it turned darker and heavier hut nowhere near ss heavy as normal. One time I noticed browny slimy discharge with the bleeding. On day 3 it wss much lighter again and by the end of day 4 it had stopped. I always bleed for at least 5 days plus. Now my period has finished I gave diarrhoea and nausea. Could I hace experienced very late implantation bleeding? Any thoughts on this would be wonderful. I need to add thst I got a bfn on the day my oeriod wad due. If I did experience heavy implantation bleeding im guessing it was too early to test.

Hey Gemma..you won't get a bfp until after implantation bleeding occurs, if you are one of the women who experience implantation bleeding.

Give it a week, and test again.

Hi again, please will someone reply to me? I had a really strange sharp pain in my left lower back this morning which lasted only but seconds but it scared me. I don't know if what I experienced was implantation or whether it was something to worry about, or even another period, if that's possible! This is the first time it has happened and I have no idea what to experience with pregnancy so I'm worried about the bleeding! I'm really hoping that it is a good sign for me, and as well as the bleeding I have had headaches and this morning I woke up with a really stuffy nose and I now have a sore throat. However, it's been really warm where I live so it can't be the weather! Is that even a positive sign??
