Breastfeeding giving false negative? Or body is going crazy?

[kelly617]

So I really don't know what the hell is going on
So I wasn't planning on getting pregnant yet...I'm only 12wks pp but I know in the fall we'd like to try again

BUT I'm having WEIRD symptoms.
I am breastfeeding so I haven't gotten my period...but a few weeks ago I got a little bit of spotting which I thought was AF showing her ugly ugly face. But it was only for a day, a little brown blood and that was it...and it was only there when I wiped I didn't even need a panty liner. And it was WEEKS after my last post partum bleeding so I don't think it was part of that.

Well now I'm getting headaches regularly, my lower back is killing me. I have been craving salt like a crazy person, I'm thirsty, and just the last few days I've become insanely tired. I've also been having tummy troubles...constipated one minute and then a completely upset tummy the next (TMI sorry)

But I've taken two HPT and got negatives both times....
I know most of my symptoms can be part of breastfeeding and dealing with a newborn...but the tired thing freaks me out. He is sleeping better than ever but I am MORE tired now than I was when he was up every hour.

Has anyone ever been in this situation? Were you preggers or was your body just freaking out
Oh and I should mention that I seem to be  having a lot of cm..like every time I use the restroom my undies are a little wet....thats not normal for me

Your hormones are still trying to adjust. Try napping when he does if possible. Lack of sleep can make it a ll much worse

I seriously am napping...its almost scary how tired I am
take for instance yesterday. I fell asleep around 1am on saturday night/sunday morning which is my usual bedtime. Baby slept for 4 hours straight and then wanted to feed. Then slept another 4hrs and wanted to eat. DF gave him a bottle of breastmilk and let me sleep..I didn't wake up until NOON and that was only because DF came to wake me up so we could go grocery shopping. I slept for 11hrs with a 30 min feeding sesssion

That seems extreme to me!!
And it wasn't like this a few weeks ago...I think you're probably right and I'm just paranoid
