Bambi,

So I still haven't started and my doctor put me on Provera. I have 2.5 days left to take it and we will see what happens. I'm super bummed still. :'(

To mom of 2 - your periods are REALLY wonky! Do you think the spotting could be from ovulation - It's hard to pinpoint with you, because your periods aren't regular! Can I ask how old you are?

Cowgirl! The Provera is used to bring on a period = twice (if they are irregular), and 3 times if it has stopped! Now did you tell the doctor you are trying to get pregnant? And also did they say how many times they are going to give your the Provera?

I was a little bit confused by your reply. My doctor knows that I am trying to conceive, so they gave me the provera to start my period so I could ovulate again and try again. That is what my doctors nurse told me. Still no period and it has been 10 days since I was supposed to start. I want to know what is going on. I have NEVER EVER missed a period for any reason other than pregnancy or breastfeeding. They say it is stress. I have been a couple days late because of stress, but NEVER even a week late because of it. Is something seriously wrong with me?

I hate to be a bother again, still no period... I am getting really nervous... Should I take another HPT?!?!?!?! Or is there no way I am, and I am just having a serious problem.

Hello. I found this site on google when I was searching an answer to my question. But I just haven't found an answer that suits me. So I was wondering if you could answer me if it's not an inconvenience?

Anyway, my last period started on August 31 and ended around September 4. I typically have a 30 day cycle. I had unprotected sex(husband and I actually would LIKE to get pregnant) on the 13, 15, and 17. I had spotting that was about the size of a penny on the 20th and I assumed it was an early implantation. But then I spotted about the size of a 1/2 dime today(burnt red color) and I thought it meant I was starting my period and wasn't pregnant. However, it has stopped and I haven't bled even a little bit more since the very early morning. I had no cramps with the blood at all and still have none. My husband and I have been trying for a while and I've had two chemical pregnancies, one at 4 weeks and 5 days and one at 5 weeks and 2 days. So this time around, I started using progesterone cream(my doctor recommended it because I have hypothyroid and people with hypothyroid sometimes don't produce enough progesterone). I started taking it around ovulation.

Anyway, I've been having a few strange symptoms I thought I should probably also mention. I've been really extremely tired. To the point that I sleep in and I can't even finish half of my my exercise routine, and I'm a very active person who is in great shape. I also have been getting hot and cold flashes that are really weird and I have never even heard of that as a pregnancy symptom. I've broken out all over my face and also on some parts of my body and I usually have very clear skin, never had a problem with acne or pimples at all. I've been having very very faint cramps since about 8 days after I ovulated and it also has been feeling "full" like it feels right before a period, but no period. My pee also smells really bad (sorry if tmi). Due to all of these symptoms put together, and my complete lack of pms this cycle(I'm usually extremely bitchy a for a week leading up to my period) I was very hopeful that I was pregnant this time. Although my breasts have not been sore this entire time which is strange.

My question is, what could cause me to have spotted twice this cycle? I'm not due for my period yet. I'm very scared that I might be having another chemical. Do I still have hope or does it sound like I'm over analyzing things and I'm not even pregnant?

Hi i am 28 years olda nd yes my periods have become extremyl wonky as they never were before, I stil have no period as of today tho, i took a hpt about a week and a half ago and it was neg, my breasts are not tende and im not nausuas like i was with my previous pregnacies ( iwas extremly sick before i even noticed my period was late with them)..now i know my bofriend isnt the same father as my previous 2 so i kno that can make a difference in how my body will react...

maybebaby you are having pretty much the same sympoms as me...and I also have a thyroid problem as my has stopped workig completly and was put on medication about 6 months ago for it...i have since stopped taking it as i ot want to do harm if i am pregnant and i g see the dr on the 5th of october

Hello Everyone! Cow girl?! sorry I haven't answered you I didn't get the notice! Anwyays I want you to ask your doctor for a transvaginal ultrasound - lets find out if something is going on with your ovaries - like a cyst! And also ask for blood test - for pregnancy

Maybebaby! We MIGHT have a winner here - because of the 15th and the 17th! So lets wait to see if a period comes on in the next 2 days IF it doesn't take a HPT 1st thing in the morning!

To Guest! I want you to call your doctor and tell them you have stopped the medication for your thyroid! IF you went off without telling them you could have messed up your hormones! Even though it looks like your thyroid is the main culprit, I think it would also be a good idea for you to have a transvaginal ultrasound - to see if you have ovarian cysts!

I stopped taking the meds about 4 months ago as I have been trying to concieve and my dr is already aware of this, she keeps telling me i wasnt on them long enough for them to have any effect on me (i only took the very very low dose for maybe a month n a half when i stopped them). and im told they should be fully out of my systm by now so my hormoes should of returned to normal. I am suppose to go to the lab thursday for another thyroid ultrasound and blood work alog with a glucose test. i told my dr that my period has been mia since august 6th and so i have an appointent to go see her the 5th which is next tuesday at wich time i have been informed they will do a pregnancy test and a vaginal exam cuz by then i would be 2 months late and my period has never been THAT late and I have been trying to concieve. I have hypo thyroidsm and with it my dr said i should be having heavier periods more frequently, not no periods at all or very light ones as i have had...

its all alot strange to me as this is all new ive never had any problems before, my previus 2 prenancies i never spotted, i was supper supper sick ( i mean i lost weight during pregnancy) i did have pre eclampsia which went into eclampsia and bot my kids were delivered at 35 weeks ad 33 weeks ( both completly healthy and fine no problems at all...my youngest is 3 years old so i know alot can change since i was pregnant with him and now, but i never thought it woul be this different...my periods have alwasy been kinda wierd, even when i was on birth control pill ( over 6 years ago ) my periods still werent regular and have always been kinda light but again NEVER this late

Dear Bambi,
I’ve just recently found this site through recommendation of a friend and told me to find you. So here I go,
I had sex with my girlfriend around the beginning of September, we took the plan b pill the exact same day. (this was like a Thursday or something) over the weekend or so, she got a “period” which was probably due to the plan b. My question is, it’s been quite a bit, plan b affects the cycle, so we’re just a bit worried when her next period will be (it should be this week) After the “period” with the b, we’ve had some sexual acitivty at least once a week ever since taking the b, but nothing too much to be worried about, if anything, we’re just worried about her period.

What’s going on, is this something serious or just paranoia?

She had her period today! She says its normal!

Bambi,

I am back. So I wasn't pregnant, they gave me a pill to start my period. I finally did start my period on the 22nd of September, it ended the 27th. They also prescribed me Chlomid, that I started taking on my fifth day. My husband and I made love on the 2nd, 7th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and a couple more times that I forgot to notate. I took an Ovulation test on the 10th and 11th and BOTH were positive for Ovulation. I am not sure when my next period should start if I am pregnant, all I know is I took a test yesterday and last week and both were negative.... Am I testing to early? Or am I really not pregnant and just waiting for my period to start?

Cowgirl :-(

Hi, Bambi :-D I been googleing for a week now trying to find someone who actually knows stuff. On December 9 I just found out I was pregnant. Iam 20 years old. I am thrilled about this. But I have some concerns. I don't have insurence until January, but Iam trying to get approved eairlier. So until then and hopefully save me another hosital ER bill maybe you can hel me. :-) I spotted Nov 30, Dec 01 Dec03 Dec04 with really bad lower abdominal cramps/pain. Tender in the breast and eating habbits were changing. Decided to take a HPT Dec08, took 3 lol and all came up positive. Pain got worse so wanted to make sure everything was okay, I went to the ER Dec 9th. They alot of test. Everything came up positive, my blood HCG level was 975, so they determined it was a really eairly pregnancy. than they did a ultra sound with the wand and saw a what seemed to be the sac in the uteris. Its a ER doctor so I know this is not really there place but they just said everything looks normal and the dont believe it to be a tupical pregancy. But later that night I spotted again just a little. The pains are going away. But come back here and there. I have lower back pain, and cramps on and off. Sometimes they feel like gas pains. o.O Well now today Dec 11th Iam spotting again. I am soo scared %-) that I might be having a miscarriage. Is there a reason I am spotting alot? I dont have alot of blood just a little when I wipe and once or twice it was a little more than. :-( I feel full all the time/ bloated. Never felt sick or nauses. boobs are still very tender. I know Iam still pregant well hoping. Iam just scared about the miscarriage part. Cause I heard about so many signs and what not. ? ? ? Should I go to the ER again and have them check??or wait it out another week??? Thankyou so much!

Hey Bambi,

I don't know that you will get this, I see you haven't been on in awhile. But I am confused about something and I didn't know who else to ask... I had my last period on November 26th. This was my 3rd round of chlomid. I was taking 3 pills a day. I got my first positive ovulation test on 8th of December and had intercourse 8, 11, 12, 13 I have had a positive ovultion test everyday until the 20th when I ran out of tests. I am not sure what to think because I thougth you were only supposed to have an LH surge for 3 days in a row or something like that. If you could help please let me know!

HI, so last month i started brown spotting on may 6th and then i started spotting again around the 16th. i had unprotected sex the month before on april 26th...is this a sign of pregnancy?
