..another 'am I pregnant' question. =P?

Question

A little background.. I have a 19 month old who I had an extremely easy and normal pregnancy with.. As soon as I got pregnant I got very obvious signs of pregnancy very early. Since then, I have had very consistant periods.

The 13th of July my boyfriend may have gotten some on me, so I was suspecting pregnancy. I started to get some symptoms like fatigue, sore b*****s, but then on the 30th I got my period. It was heavy enough to call a period, but it was 10 days late a just a little different from my usual period. Since then we have had another incident that gave me a scare, so I've been waiting.. Around the 17th I had a few days where I had very light brown.. something. The first few days I saw it, but the last few I only knew about it because it was on my boyfriend after we had s*x. I had no pain or anything with it and we have only been sleep with one another for the last half a year.. So I'm ruling out STDs. Well, just this past Monday I had him pick up a test which came back negative (though I took it at about 7 o'clock at night).

So, I'm wondering if either my cycle somehow got interupted and changed to the 30th, or if I could be pregnant.. I've had gas some days almost like I did when I was pregnant before, but not quite as bad.. Of course it was almost three years ago so maybe it was like this.. My b*****s are sore, I think? But I might just be imagining that part.

I am planning on taking another test if I don't get my period by the 1st or 2nd, but until then I'd love if you girls would just give me your opinions.

Also, I won't be disappointed if I am, but my boyfriend deploys to El Sal until January and then next August deploys to Afghanistan for nine months so the timing isn't the best!!!!

Answer 1

well you could be. the spotting you had was likely implantation bleeding. take a test first thing in the morning in about a week. i know it sucks to wait but you can keep buying test and taking them if you like. good luck!

Answer 2

well i would say that a heavy bleeding is not implantation, that would be more period like but, the brown stuff could be leftover from after your period(especialy if you use tampons) and i would wait a week or 2 then take a test but if you want to know now you could go take a blood test. i remember with my 2nd i was late then i had a very heavy period then the next month fount out i was pregnant! so i could have been pregnant then or got pregnant right after that, i dont know~ good luck  

Answer 3

Every pregnancy is different, so you could be feeling symptoms to varying degrees than you felt them with your earlier pregnancy.

I'd take another test in a few days, this time first thing in the morning.  If it comes back negative and you still don't feel right, call your doctor and get a blood test.

Also, your doctor should be able to help you figure out what kind of birth control will work for you, it sounds like you guys are having a hard time being consistent or safe with whatever methods you're using (or not using!!) now.

Good luck.
