Trying To Conceive...SHOULD I BE WORRIED?

Question

this is kind of personal but I need some input. my boyfriend and I are trying to conceive and my last cycle was on june 30...from my understanding my fertile days were on the 11th-15. So we did the baby dance on the 11th&12 as well as the 15. ok so my july cycle was due on the 25 or 26...it came in a spot on the 25 and then on the 26th I had maybe two or three spots still not enough to cover a pad it really only showed up when I wiped. ok it now the 28th and it is almost next to nothing. how long will this last...should I be worried....do I need to go to the er....

Answer 1

First thing you should do is take a pregnancy test.  It's been long enough since your likely ovulation date that an at-home pregnancy test would tell you if you are pregnant.  As far as the spotting is concerned, this is very common in pregnancy.  I've been pregnant 3 times.  The first time, I had spotting and cramping, so I rested as much as possible and then went to the ER.  They said everything was normal and I went home.  It cleared up in a couple days and I have a healthy 3-year old daughter.  

My second pregnancy, I had light spotting as well, and minor cramping.  Again, I went to the ER.  They did an ultrasound at the ER, and they saw the baby with no heartbeat.  That was a really sad day.  The next night, I miscarried over a couple of hours.  It was a lot of blood and there was no mistaking it for a period or anything else because it was such severe cramping that I called the doc at midnight and he said to go to the ER for a D&C (dilation and cuttelage).  Seconds after hanging up  the phone, my pain disappeared, so I went to bed.  I rested the next day, but had no other cramping, just bleeding similar to a long period.

My third pregnancy is in process (30 weeks, now), and I never had any spotting with this one.  

From my experiences, I'd tell you to:

take a pregnancy test (although it could still be positive if you're having a miscarriage)

relax as much as you can - it's probably normal spotting, but even if it is a miscarriage, there's nothing you or anyone else can do to stop it (or could have done, in most cases)

call your doctor or go to the ER if you have heavy bleeding/pain, because they'll want to make sure that it's not an ectopic pregnancy

Answer 2

Sounds like implanting bleeding! Test next week or tomorrow AM if you can't wait! GL!!!

Answer 3

Could be implantation bleeding .. sure sounds like it.. some women have it for only a few hours and others so i have been told can last a couple days.. i would go to your doctors and see if they can give you a blood test to see if you are pregnant or not.. best of luck to you

Answer 4

I say to just relax first of all and try to take a test in a few days wait 3 or 4 and you might be suprised with a positive...

Answer 5

Gee, ya really think???

Answer 6

Why would you need to go the ER when you are probably just having a light period due to being stressed about trying to conceive.  You need to take a home pregnancy test.  If it's positive then you can call an OB to get advice.
