Ok so, back in May I had a Leep procedure to remove precancerous cells from my cervix. Since March of 2010, I've had 3 miscarriages, most recent was this past March. Not sure if that means anything at all but whatever... anyways...

I'm 7 dpo currently, and yesterday I spotted... I thought maybe I was getting my period early but still nothing. I'm having like dull cramps but nothing major.... TMI sorry but when I spotted yesterday it was like a pink creamy substance.... it lasted not even an hour and so far still no period. My period last month was a little weird as well, I was close to a week early, started spotting on a wednesday and that only lasted an hour or so as well, but then two days later I spotted over the course of 2 days. I was off of this "period" before it was even due. My next period is due on August 9th (my bday go figure). Today at work I noticed a weird taste in my mouth, it's still there, hard to describe.... the roof of my mouth tastes as if I've had pennies or something in there.

After losing 3 babies so close together, I'm kind of afraid... any thoughts would be very helpful right now. Oh usually I have no appetite whatsoever, but lately gosh I want slushies or fountain pop constantly (fiance claims I wont shut up until I get my slushie... went to get one a couple hours ago and getting mad right now just thinking of it because the slushie machine at the gas station is broke), and sour patch kids are the ONLY thing that prevents me from throwing up... (yeah I've been getting sick for the past few days) and when I do get sick it's like a foam or something, and after I throw up I'm fine.
 
I'm sorry for your losses. I've had one and it was heartbreaking. I can't even imagine 3. (hugs)

Is it possible you got pregnant last month and the period you had wasn't a true period? Maybe it was implantation? I had implantation with my son that lasted 5 days so anything is possible. Also, implantation can sometimes be red. The way you described it, being over before it was even due, sounds a lot like implantation. Definitely not like a true period. And the spotting you had now could've just been breakthrough bleeding from the time you would've gotten your period if you aren't pregnant. When I was pregnant with my first that happened to me at 4 months. I bled like a period and the doctor told me it was because if I wasn't pregnant that's when I would've gotten my period.

You can go to your doctor for a blood test or you can test at home first. If it's positive you should see your doctor so he/she can determine how far along you are.
 
I thought last month could have been implantation but i took a test (very cheap dollar store test) on the 29th and it was negative. I just got home from a walk my head hurts now, and i've been emotional all day, from p'od to crying over anything. I kinda think I am but also just worried about getting our hopes up over here... it tore my fiance apart when I lost the last one... I'm actually afraid to tell him anything about this right now just because i dont want him to get excited and it happen again, right now thats my biggest fear. I keep feeling weird twinges, they dont hurt at all though. It'd make alot of sense if last months so called period was implantation because i've been having some of the symptoms since then but just now starting to get a little stronger and more often... I think I may give it a few days and try to test again, also when i tested it was around 5 pm so not exactly the first pee of the day... kinda wondering if that plus the fact it was a cheapie gave me a false negative. I dont even feel like myself lately.
 
Also sorry to hear about your loss as well, and yeah 3 is definitely hard... I never thought I'd have a miscarriage... I never thought it could happen to me. The hardest part is all of them being close together, makes me worry alot more about future pregnancies. I try to think of all of my angels playing together, not a day goes by that i dont think of them ya know... so this possible pregnancy is really scary even though I'd be ecstatic to be pregnant.

I truly believe a woman knows her body better than a doctor or a pregnancy test. If you aren't feeling like yourself and your cycles have been off lately, I would assume you have a good chance in being pregnant. I understand your fear all too well. When I got pregnant with my son it was only 4 months after my miscarriage. I couldn't wait to hit my second trimester because by then the risks of miscarriage are decreased dramatically. I know DH didn't even want to continue to try anymore because 1. we were trying 7 months already and 2. because of our loss. So when I got pregnant and told him I could see the fear in his eyes but he was also very happy. I would hold off on telling your fiance anything yet until you know for SURE that you are pregnant. It may only scare him and when the time comes that you ARE pregnant (if you aren't NOW), he may not know how to react and it's going to hurt you. Just ride this one out ON HERE, with us lol because we're a pretty good support system :D

It would make a lot of sense if your last "bleeding" was implantation. A lot of women have had period-like bleeding and it was implantation but many don't like to believe that's possible. They think it's just a drop or two and that isn't true.

As for your losses, I understand completely. I always think of mine. I truly believed it would've been a girl so when I miscarried I came home from the ER after 7 freaking hours, walked through the door and grabbed paper and pen and wrote a little note to my baby. DH did the same. We named her Jaylen. Matter of fact, August 5th coming up is 2 years that she grew wings and became a little angel. It isn't easy and never will be easy. I think of her every day and night and when I pray I talk to her. I tell her I love her, will never replace her and wish she could be here. But they ARE in a better place and in time we will see them. We will finally get to meet them. I had someone tell me "why are you trying to get pregnant? don't you know you're only going to keep losing these babies!"...I got sooo mad I told them "how dare you predict my future pregnancies?!" -- I know it's hard to NOT live in fear when it comes to pregnancy because of having 3 losses but try your best hun. Do you know why you've had 3 losses? Could it be low progesterone?

Whoa, just realized how long this reply is!! lol
 
I'm not sure why I've been miscarrying... I was told when I was 16 that I probably wouldnt be able to get pregnant and when I did with my first I was considered high risk right away, they wanted me to abort at 3 weeks and I refused... I wanted to give him a chance. I felt from the start he was a boy, I went in to get an ultrasound to determine the sex... and the nurse got all quiet, said she'd be back.... when she came back she dropped her head and said sorry.... I left, I grabbed my stuff, muffled thanks.... and walked out and lost it. He was due August 17th, I named him Brayden Malachi... last night I had one of those nights where all I could do is think of my babies. Needless to say I was a mess. The last miscarriage I had was unexpected. I didn't even know I was pregnant until it happened, me and my fiance got into a big argument... we were ready to end what we had and he went to work and about an hour later I was in the bathroom holding it... you couldnt really make it out to be a baby but you could tell if you looked hard enough... I called him at work and he rushed home. It brought us alot closer together, we flipped a coin, landed on heads so we decided on boy, so we named him Mason William, and we put him in a ziploc baggy and a little wooden box, we took him to the river and my fiance placed the box in the water and we watched him float away... I lost both of my boys in March, one year apart... All of this keeps running through my head.

My fiance actually looked at me last week, and gasped lol, he was like "wait a minute... when was your period..." I shrugged. He said "Hmm... you get sick midday every day, sour candy helps... you constantly want slushies and get mad when you dont get one.... you're moody and emotional...you're knocked up...." I kinda just rolled my eyes at him and denied any possibility...after yelling that I wasn't moody or emotional and that he was just annoying... lol he can just look at me lately and I get irritated for no reason. Yesterday he came home and said he had to go to a concert with his brother to keep an eye on his nephew.... I cried, still not really sure as to why.

People can be so mean! After I lost Brayden I got alot of comments... My fiance wasn't Brayden's dad I actually met my fiance right after I got the news Bray was gone... My ex was standing with my family and made a "joke"... " Oh well Leslie can get pregnant she just can't make a baby survive" That still haunts me... especially after 3... sometimes I feel as if he was right...
My mom, my sister, etc.... "It's not your fault, it just wasn't meant to be", or "Maybe there was something wrong with him and this is for the best"... I still get told that it just wasnt meant to be, it wasn't the right time...


Wow, so apparently I needed to vent a little... I try to keep it all bottled up inside most of the time. Oh so still no sign of my period, woke up ready to vomit this morning and most of the time I was at work... And I work with kids, I just got hired for a second job and both jobs deal with small children. One little girl today (I think she's 8 months) kept trying to grab my breasts and it looked as if she was trying to breastfeed, and she screamed until I went to find her mom because I wouldn't let her.
 
Is it possible you have an incompetent cervix? Where it doesn't stay closed? My bff has that and she lost her first son at 5 1/2 months but went on to have 2 healthy baby boys that were full term because she got progesterone shots. She's currently expecting again but she's still very early. I mean it's a big possibility. But when the tech did the ultrasound she saw that the baby had no heartbeat?

I think what you did with your baby was really nice. A lot of people don't think to do things like that. It gives you some type of closure but I know it still hurts. Last night too I had a horrible night. Crying all night long and missing my angel baby.

I mean with your moodiness and the symptoms it sounds like you really could be pregnant but I don't blame you for denying it and even being afraid to even think about it. It's a scary thought because you have had losses before. It takes the joy out of it. I feel that maybe you need progesterone shots or pills.

After my loss my Aunt told me "it's better it happened now and not later". There may be some truth to that but to tell me that at that time is really stupid and pointless. To me there is NEVER a good time for a miscarriage but of course if it had happened later in the pregnancy it would've been a whole lot worse but that doesn't make it better or easier. People don't think!! I get told a lot too that maybe she was sick or something. DH told me that last night. Look, don't ever think you're incapable of having children. My bff felt like that for a while too. She felt like a failure as a woman. You can't do that to yourself. Your body may need some help keeping a pregnancy but that does NOT make you less of a woman. You have to believe that. What he said was stupid and cold. People say insensitive things not realizing the impact their words can have on a person.

LOL, I'm sorry that's cute about the little girl. :) Maybe she senses you're pregnant. I know when I was pregnant with my second daughter before I even knew, my daughter who was only 13 months at that time pointed to my stomach and said "baby?". I thought maybe she was calling me fat lol..until I tested. Yea..lol...definitely pregnant. You can vent away anytime. You can PM if you want too!! I think you should test!!
 
Lol yeah when I was pregnant with Bray, my goddaughter would always point to my stomach and say baby too lol it was the cutest thing, even she said it was a boy. We'd go to the mall to look at baby stuff and we'd pick up 2 options of everything, show it to her and each time she'd pick the boy stuff for the baby lol. And recently, I can't remember if it was at work or my fiance's 5 year old nephew... but I remember a small child claiming there was a baby in my tummy... SO I can defintely relate to that. That was maybe 2 weeks ago-ish??? My memory is shot lol, I got lost walking to work today... both of my jobs are in the same area, and I got lost going to my second which is literally 3 streets down from my other... go me...

And yeah when I start missing my angels like I was last night, I feel like a failure. I asked my fiance last night what type of mother am I when I can't even keep my babies... I've told him alot recently that I feel as if I'm less of a woman because of all of this.

As far as I know I dont have an incompetent cervix, after I had my surgery the dr was all up inside there (that sounds really bad) and said everything looked fine and healthy... He said the only thing he had seen that was wrong was the precancerous cells, and he thinks my first pregnancy helped speed that process up, I was already in the severe stage and back when I lost my first nothing like that was showing up at all. Should I wait until my bday to test? That's when my period is due and all, I may stop and get another cheapie on my way to work if possible tonight... but every time I get a test for some reason I feel as if I have to pee on it right then and there... I have a hard time waiting... my stomach feels weird, still no pain but it feels as if I've just ate Thanksgiving dinner and I'm bloated... it feels like I've been bloated for a month now.
