I actually made a previous post in the pregnancy section to try and see if anyone could help, but just got the cold shoulder...
My cycles are pretty dang normal. Every 28-29 days. A week before my cycle begins, I experience sore breasts every time for that week until the moment my cycle arrives! I also get spotting roughly a week before(usually 5 days) before my cycle starts. 1st day is pinkish/red then every day up until my period arrives it will be brown. All normal stuff.
Another thing I encounter every time around ovulation is a general overall feeling of not being well as well as sore/sensitive nipples. Again, NORMAL.
However, this month has cause the most confusion for me in YEARS ever since March 8th.
March 8th, I started noticing my usual signs of ovulation minus the sore nipples. This time, they were really itchy and only got worse as the day progressed. Kept me up!! Never in my life have had extremely itchy of anything let alone my nipples! I got worried so I began to look up why this could be. List included, eczema, breast cancer, infection and pregnancy. The only one of those that could be more possible is pregnancy. The itchiness continued for the next 4 days until out of NOWHERE, my breasts got INCREDIBLY sore! They felt and looked different for sure. Not much bigger just fuller feeling. That lasted a whole week. Two days after the soreness stopped, I started spotting the pink/redish. So I thought..."well, the spotting started a bout a week and 2 days before my cycle is supposed to start". But, why the sore breasts 2 weeks early?
Anywho, the next 2 days after the spotting started, the spotting turned an unusual color. Dark brown almost black and was more watery than before....A few days leading during the spotting I was having mild cramps like my period was going to start ANY second. Then, 3 days later I started bleeding rather heavily(consistent with first day cycle for me). These cramps were different and forced me to stay home from work and rest the whole day. They weren't painful, just really uncomfortable.
Day 2 into the bleeding and I am no where near as crampy, the bleeding isn't quite as heavy, but now I don't know what to think. My mom swears I have the "pregnancy glow". My breasts are no longer sore and no other changes to report. I can tell you one thing, for the first time in all the 3 years I had been trying to conceive, I have never felt more pregnant! I was having weird dreams, felt fluttering, have severe crazy breast and nipple changes(the sore and itchy) had weird cravings(still kinda do lol).
Honestly, since I started school back in January, my husband and I decided to let nature take its course. Meaning, stop TTC. So NO I have not been Dwelling on symptoms. I wasn't even following anything until the nipple and breast changes among others started adding up. I DO have a Dr. appt. May 4th with my OB/GYN. Curious to know what others suggest it may be in the mean time. AT THIS POINT, with the bleeding, I do not know what to think anymore. I had read about women who have the same thing happen and still be pregnant, even after being told they miscarried. IF I am pregnant, there is a phenomenon that happens called Sub Chrionic Hemorrhage. It is where the placenta in early pregnancy, tears a little from the uterine wall causing a clot and the bleeding experienced. I sure hope that is what it is, but considering my lack of luck TTC, I would say it isn't
I do not want criticism please. If you can't say something nice, do not say it at all. And NO I am not MAKING MYSELF SICK over this! I appreciate any of those who help with any suggestions as long as they are kind.
Thank you so much ladies for your time and I APOLOGIZE for the length of the post
