Hi ladies!!
I am currently a mommy and step mommy! I had my daugher on Sept. 15th, 2010. About 4 months ago I had my IUD removed and my husband and I decided we would begin trying for another baby!! I've stayed pretty regular, stating on the 18th of each month...until this month! I have been using the Ovulation Checker at babycenter.com, to calculate my ovulation week and, uh,...you know...making those weeks "busy." Lol. I had a regular period Dec 18, and by the checker at babycenter I was due for an ovulation week of Jan 1st-6th. We made sure to start a couple days early, as well as a couple days past the 6th. On the 6th, I noticed spotting, only when I wiped. Within an hour it was brown and gone completley. My immediate thought was "Implantion bleeding." Could this be possible? I then Googled this and heard of "Ovulation bleeding." Could that have been it? ...Well Jan 18th has come and gone and I am late, late, late! Since about Jan 16th, I've been extremely tired, mad headaches, and breaking out. The past few days I've been very nauseated, but I"m chocking it up to my mind messing with me. I've taken 3 tests and they all have turned up Negative. OB Nurse informed me I may not see a postive until Jan 30th. ...I am getting more and more excited about being pregnant...but I sure don't want to get my hopes up.
*Question* What are the odds of me being pregnant? Is there another possiblity that I am missing, besides pregnancy?
It sounds like you could be pregnant! I would hold off on taking any more tests right away (they are kinda spendy) but I would wait until the end of the month to see if your period shows up. Then take another test.
It could always be your mind messing with you. The mind can do crazy things.
Hope you are pregnant though!!
Girl, you have no idea what this past week has been like. Being late with negative tests. Yesterday, as sad as it sounds, I went to the ER to ask them to confirm my pregnancy. My doctor was the rudest doctor I've ever encountered. He asked me why I would want two babies at 22, when all I did was being a mother and a student. He told me I was "Crazy to want that." He said he would only give me a standard urine test designed to pick up HCG levels of a 20 week pregnancy. TWENTY WEEKS. Naturally, it was a big fat negative. He told me to "hope" I got my period in a few days, and if by chance it was worse than a period (AKA miscarriage) to look at it as a "montrous period." ...but then he told me to promptly start taking my prenatals. ...I cired the whole way home. I've never been so NOT informed. I went out and bought more pregnancy tests, but couldn't afford the prenatals yet. I called my OB when I got home and told him of the dull cramping I was having, along with my negative tests. He was going out of town that day so his "covering" doctor spoke with me. She informed me my OB really thinks I need an ultrasound, but he is leaving and she didn't want to give me one, and that I should find a doctor who would do it. Then she hung up.
Today I took a test (Very well KNOWING I shouldn't bc. I KNEW it would be negative) but I called a regular doctor who said they'd gladly give me a blood test and ultrasound. I grabbed my 16 month old and went. Right when it was time to go back...they deny my insurance. I had to leave. I cried the ENTIRE way home, when I got home. Everything. I was devestated. I even tried putting on music and cleaning to forget about it...and I find myself randomly tearing up...over nothing.
I'm at a loss as to what to do. I know I need to chill out and just let this ride out until HCG levels will be high enough to test. I FEEL mommy intuition telling me there's a baby in there. My husband had "daddy intuition" 2 weeks before this ever starting thinking i was pregnant. WHERE IS MY POSITIVE? So I've spent HOURS calculating when I ovulated, when I concieved, how that may add up to HCG levels and when they'll show up my 25 mIU tests...Everything basically tells me I may get a positive tomorrow...or the first week of Feb. ...do you realize how long away that is? Lol. I can't focus not knowing if there's a baby in there, but truly believing deep down that there is. I need a positive test. ...at this point I'd be half relived with a period just so I know SOMETHING. ...but I'd like a baby. :)
*Question though...* If I concieved Jan 7-8...does that make me 3.5 weeks pregnant? Or do I HAVE to go by my last period? B.c If I didn't concieve until the 7th or 8th...then its going to take longer for HCG to show up...
Haha, yes, I realize that the first week of February does seem like a lifetime away if you have to wait that far! That is a lot to be going through, but I still encourage you to relax, worrying wont do any good except stress you out which is no good. ( I realize that is WAY easier said than done)
I would have been FURIOUS at that ER doctor who was so rude to you though! There is no need for that, and how dare he tell anyone that they shouldn't have baby because ALL they do is mother their child and go to school!!! That is something to be proud of!
I hope that you get some kind of result soon! I hope it's a baby for you as well, but if it's not, you can always keep trying, and then at least you will know for sure what is going on.
You should go by your last period (Thats all the dr. is going to do anyway) Unless you know for sure the exact date that you concieved. If you concieved on Jan. 7th or 8th, then you should be 2 1/2 weeks pregnant...that might be why nothing is showing up yet. I would say you gotta wait for that first week of february before you know from a test...
Well I am expecting a check soon and with that I may just go to the doctor and tell them I'll PAY for my blood test, just GIVE ME ONE. Haha. However, I tested this evenign and got a negative. HOWEVER, I failed to mention a spot I saw the morning of the 18th in my underwear. It was pinkish/orange looking. Here's my embarassing mommy moment...I was chasing my daughter around that morning in my underwear while she ate orange jello. When I felt the random wetness and checked I chalked it up to being...jello. Hahaha. Even though I dont think Jello could look like that, nor was I in ANY position to get Jello THERE. hahah. So, if I consider that Implantation, and add 7-10 days for HCG to start...I won't have a chance of getting a positive until about the 30th. Lol. So I just need to chill I know...but I feel so certian there's a baby...that it's heartbreaking as every day goes by with a negative, you know? I'm even okay with a period but i jsut want SOMETHING.
Have either one of you tested again to get a postive or a for sure negative?
