What's going on with my body?

[emilyanne]

Hi everyone, Im really new here, (just literlally joined) but Im trying to get peoples feed back on this..... Anyone ever gone through this? What was the out come? Thanks for anything helpful guys


well me and my boyfriend have been trying to conceive for 2 years now, I suffer from irregular periods, my last one was 11th of January this year, which is normal for me to have this type of gap between cycles. well I started taking a prenatal vitamin and agnus castus about 4 and a half weeks ago, about 3 and a half weeks ago I had a egg white discharge with a very small amount of bloody streaks in it.. that lasted about a day. Then tuesday last week I had a few spots of a pale brown discharge in the morning when I wiped. The next day (wednesday) I had a small amount of blood when I wiped in the morning, then that stopped, Then on the thursday I had the tiniest amount of pale brown again... but that stopped... I tested on saturday when I got paid and the test showed a faint positive for the first 4 minutes (tests says to check between 5-10 minutes) So I regarded that as a negative.... I had a few small streaks of blood the next morning while wiping...... but nothing since....But Im still suffering symptoms...... So I tested yet again today.... This time a even darker (but still faint) line appeared. It stayed for over the ten minutes and faded away in about 20 minutes...... I even woke my partner to get him to see and I could see the line even with the lights off, so it was definitely there.....

I've been having major mood swings constantly over the past few weeks and very tender breasts. I've also been having a mild miss comfort im my lower abdomen and been constantly having to urinate.... Ive had a slight headache on and off (more on then off) over the past 2 weeks. Ive also been having cramps in one of my legs, which has turned to almost a burning sensation, this has been going on for about a week now..... (not sure if that ones even related...) I'm going to test again tomorrow morning, and I'm going to be buying a first Response tomorrow to test again the following day..... But has any had anything like this and been pregnant with a healthy baby? please help

thanks for your comments.

Welcome to BNB!!

Go get a blood test!! I hope it's your BFP!!! There are quite a few women who get cramps/burning sensation in their upper thigh. It can be a pregnancy symptom for sure.

Thanks hun, I think I might be going for a blood test no matter what my next two test say, I just can't believe that I even could be after trying for so long. Its almost scary to think I am.... Its so sad but I just feel like crying over nothing right now I just really hope something comes from the years of effort we've put in, even if not this month...

Aw, don't be upset! Two years is a long time, but once you have your LO, those two years will be so worth it . Do you use OPKs or chart BBT?

 

[emilyanne]

My periods have been far to random really for me to even be able to chart and I don't think using opk would be much better.... I don't even know why I want to cry.... I'm kinda of excited, scared and sad right now, I just want a pos, but these tests don't seem to like me much, I'll have to wait and see what tomorrow brings for me I guess

Hi, have you been tested for pocs? I am on CD111 today, no period since March, my doctor didn't want to know so we had to go and pay privately and got an internal scan and blood tests and have found out I have POCS. I have just started today a drug to induce my period then I can start on Clomid as my consultant says no period = no ovulation so no chance of getting pregnant

 

[emilyanne]

I've honestly been wondering if I could have that over the past couple of months ( didn't even hear about pcos before then) I'm thinking that if this works out to be a neg result that I'm going to see my doctor to get tested.... From what I've read about it its very possible I do have pcos, which is why I started taking agnus castus as Ive also read good things about this helping with pcos. So I thought it could help me, but so far Ive just been left confused.....

I know exactly how you must be feeling, try not to worry though. Explain your whole situation to your doctor and don't let him palm you off! good luck hun, I hope you get sorted soon x

 

[emilyanne]

Well I have a great doctor at the moment, but I know I wouldn't feel comfortable talking to him about this (hes an older guy) so I'd rather try to find a female doctor to talk to about any of this.... I'm not one to take no for an answer, so I think that'll be ok. I'm just really hopefull this is my BFP and it wont be needed... I just wish I could shake this crying feeling.... I keep welling up with tears.... I'm not even that upset....

 

[Lily7]

Awk hun, I know the feeling of being overwhelmed with emotion and not knowing why! Hopefully its your hormones and this is your bfp in the making, good luck and let me know how you get on x

 

[emilyanne]

Thanks hun, just so blah sitting around totally clueless, I need to know what I should be feeling and its not working.... at least Im not all teary now....

 

[taylorxx]

If you have irregular periods that's an even better reason to chart BBT. That will help you know if and when you are ovulating. Seriously hun, it will help you a lot. I'd definitely give it a go if I were you. I have very irregular periods as well (anywhere between 24-68 days lol) and it has helped me TREMENDOUSLY! xx

I just want to wish you good luck and send lots of your way, and to me it really sounds like a I hope I am right!

 

[emilyanne]

Thank you Taylor, I think I'm gonna try charting, not to sure what I'm doing with that tho. I just joined a charting site and filled in a few bits.....
Thanks Greenpear, I really hope your right! ★☆★

All you do is take your temperature with a basal body thermometer every morning at the SAME TIME, before you get up, talk, anything. You need at least 3 hours of sleep. You start at CD1. Throughout your cycle your body temperature will change due to estrogen and progesterone. When AF starts to ovulation, estrogen is the main hormone which is the "cool" temperature. It will cause your temp to be lower. Then the day after ovulation until AF, progesterone becomes the main hormone, which is the "warm temperature". Your temperature will increase the day after ovulation and stay up.

If your temp stays up for 18+ days you're probably pregnant. This is a good way to figure out your luteal phase, or the time between ov and af, since it's usually the same (may vary a day or two) each cycle.


If you'd like some examples my charts are in my sig and www.fertilityfriend.com has a chart gallery. The crosshairs are when ovulation day was. Hope I explained it to you xx

 

[emilyanne]

Thanks hun, that makes a lot more sense now lol, I know mine's probley gonna be all over the place but it sounds like its worth trying, oh is a bbt just a normal digital thermometer used in the mouth or something else? I'm not sure and feel stupid for asking....

 

[kittymarie]

if you have a droid or iphone, there is a really good app for charting your cycle, etc.

 

[emilyanne]

No, I just have a smart phone, but I have good internet access so I've started trying one on the web.....

 

[taylorxx]

You need a basal body themometer. They are much more accurate and precise which is needed for charting. I got mine at CVS for $12. I doubt yours will be all over the place. They usually aren't except during AF. If you have any questions PM me xx

 

[emilyanne]

Oh ok thanks hun, is it ok to add you to my contacts so I don't loose you lol, just trying to get used to this site and its confusing lol
