Does this sound like pregnancy to you?
Does this sound like pregnancy or am I just imagining things? I’m sorry I know this is one of those oh-so-common am I pregnant questions, but I could really use some help!
I use the natural family planning method, which has worked for me for years. My period have been consistent for about 6 months since getting off of the pill in July 2009. I got off of the pill because every time I take birth control, I get always get most of the bad side effects.
So since October my period have been going on about a 33-34 day cycle. I’ve been able to chart when I ovulate,which is about 12 days after my period. I can feel it as well, so I know. Its been like this:
Periods:
October 31
December 3
January 6
February 9
I always figure it will come within that 3 days gap. They usually are a very heavy flow and last about 5 to 7 days. However, in February, it didn’t come until about halfway through the day on the 9th and flowed for about a day or two and then became so light for a couple days that it only showed when I wiped. The day after this “period” stopped, I went to the doctor for a follow up appointment after being diagnosed with PCOS and took a urine pregnancy test, which was negative.
But this month, it was supposed to come on the 12th and it hasn’t! And I’ve only felt bloating. I usually get PMS symptoms pretty bad about a week before my period, but this month I haven’t experience a thing. But I been experiencing breast pain for about 3.5 to 4 weeks now.
I’ve been experiencing more and more symptoms as the days go by:
-Headaches
-Fatigue (its getting to the point where my partner can’t even wake me up and if he succeeds, I become unusually angry while I’m still half asleep)
-Nausea (slightly and in the morning and evenings. Not everyday. No vomiting)
-TERRIBLE lower back aches (sometimes they don’t stop until it is throbbing)
-Perky Nipples
-Sensitive breasts (a lot of times they will hurt with no movement being made at all)
-lightheaded and have only experience two dizzy spells
-Certain smells do make me queasy and I haven’t been able to eat some foods that I normally do.
-I have that sticky, clear, discharge that has no odor (I know for a fact I’m not ovulating because I charted it, but I did hear this could be an early pregnancy thing)
-Oh and lets not forget, no period.
So let me know what you guys think. Am I crazy or just pregnant?
The reason I haven’t tested yet is because it could be my body just going nuts. So I thought I’d give it a week before jumping to conclusions…
Thanks for the input about PCOS and ovulating. For me, I’ve never had problems with my period. I mean it may have been a little off sometimes, but it didn’t really mess up until I got on the depo a few years ago and then went through a series of different birth control pills. But I menstruate fine and my doctor says I ovulate very consistently, especially for someone with PCOS. This is the only reason i’m questioning my symptoms because my period and ovulation schedule have been completely regular.
Michelle answers:
I say you take a home pregnancy test. The problem in feb is that probably you conceived maybe 2 weeks before your pregnancy and thats too early to know.
The fact that your period was really light might mean that it was the fetus implanting. It is said that many woman confuse it for a period. So what i can only recommend is for you to take a test. I know its hard to conceive when you have PCOS but since your period has been coming regularly it would be easier for you to get pregnant. You do have high possibilities so i would suggest a pregnancy test!
Good luck!

Michelle answers:
I have.. I am on my 5th round of Clomid.. So far i have lost 2….so i understand…
I think you should talk to your doc. You may need to see a specialist to see why you arent able to sustain a pregnancy…it’s a hard thing to go through, and though i want a child so bad, i am terrified to get pregnant again. I just don’t want to go through that pain and dissapointment again.
I urge you to talk to your doc though. He/she will be best to answer your questions. You can get pregnant, so that is a good thing. Now you just need to stay that way. =) good luck!!
Joseph asks…
Am I having pregnancy symptons or are these symptons from my miscarriage or soemthing totally different?
January 4th my HCG was 1080. On Jan 5, I expelled the tissue of my baby and January 8 my HCG was 80. I was only 3 weeks long. Then on January 14th my HCG level was a 6. So I had a rather fast natural MC. My doctor told me I could try to get pregnant whenever I was emotional able. I didn’t carry the baby long enough to wait. Well I’ve been trying since Jan 10th. I have these symptons: hemrroids, hiccups, gas, heartburn, short-temper, and I cry over the stupidest things. I don’t know if that b/c of the mc or not. I am also very tired. Almost exhausted. I am also having some creamy discharge. Sorry TMI. It almost looks like watery lotion. So my question is: Is it possible to ovulate soo soon after a mc and if so are the symptons just from my last pregnancy, my mc, or something totally different? I took a pregnancy test last Friday and it was neg. I have another but I figured I would wait at least till my period is suppose to start. Which is probably in a week and a 1/2. So???
Michelle answers:
Good question I’m somewhat in the same boat. To me I feel like since your numbers dropped so fast and you were only 3 weeks and you passed the tissue on the 5 it is now the 24 maybe new baby! Maybe you can help me I found out i was preggo on 12/21 and on same day found out i was having a m/c my hcg level was a 60 at that time.Went to e.r on 01/20 almost a month later my hcg level was a 6. Could it be the start of a new pregnancy? It shouldn’t take that long to get back to 0 right? Well Good Luck Hope everything turns out great! LOTS OF BABY DUST FOR ALL OF US!
Sandy asks…
I REALLY need some help about herbs in a “women in balance” supplement, and pregnancy?
I had a baby almost 8 months ago, and ever since then my hormones have been really of out it, and earlier this month i bought some supplements from a place called “Herbal Healer”, called “Women in Balance”… Its all natural, and for all women of all ages.
Well, i started spotting about 13 dpo, and never started my period.Meanwhile, im still taking these supplements..Till last thursday, when i kinda suspected i *might* be pregnant.
Last friday,sunday and monday, i took 4 pregnancy tests and all came out dark positives.
Here is what’s in them..
Soy Isoflavones, Kava Kava, Wild Yam Extract, Licorice4:1 extract, Dong Quai powder, Red Raspberry powder, Black cohosh extract, chasteberry, ginger root powder, red clover and Ginkgo standardized extract.
Does anyone know if any of these would make a positive pregnancy test result? or am i really pregnant? i asked my naturopath dr, and she said they shouldnt, but stop taking them and test again next week… what do yall think? Thanks!
Michelle answers:
Lol, I think your pregnant again. Most of those supplements promote fertility but none that you listed contain the actual hcg hormone which is the only thing that can cause a positive test. You can test again, but I think congratulations are in order….
