Hi Ladies, it's been a long time since I've posted but I'm desperate for some perspective and advice. My daughter will be 2 in October and when I became pregnant with her I knew very early on (3 weeks). My husband and I have been trying for the last 4-5 months to concieve number 2 but with no luck yet, or so I think.... maybe.... to make a long story short....
My cycle is always always always regular and my period comes on either the exact date it's due or early the following day (I use femilia.com to track my cycle). So last week, my period was due on Thursday and Tuesday morning I started bleeding. I remember wiping and seeing light, pink blood which i thought was a little strange because I've never had this before but let it go and just thought my period started a couple days early. I had taken a pregnancy test that morning anyway and it was negative. Then on the next few days I noticed very very bright, red blood which again, I've never had. Now thinking about it, I remember that "period" being lighter than usual but to be honest it didn't really hit me until today since I'm running around after a toddler everyday. And now for the past 2 and a half days, my breasts have been incredibly tender, sore and heavy which was my first sign when I was pregnant with my daughter. I do experience breast tenderness up to a week before my period but never after. I took a test this morning and it was negative. I'm soo confused.
I feel ridiculous even asking since I feel like I should know since I've had a child before but does anyone think it's possible I could be pregnant and maybe that "period" was implantation bleeding? I'm really confused about the breast tenderness and the negative result. Does anyone know how long after implantation HCG levels spike? I'm thinking I'll waiting until the end of the week to take another test.
