Q: Period During Pregnancy ? Chance of Miscarriage ?

ok me and my husband have been TTC for awhile now and i was hoping that this time was it.
My husband is in the marines, and we wanted to try having a baby before he deployed.
we made love only about 10 or 11 days after my period had just ended, and we made love, alot mind you,just to be sure.
its been about 12 days since, and i cant really understand the timing, but it really felt like i was pregnant. I had felt differently than all of the other times that we tried.and to my dissapointment, i started my period yesterday. 3 days early and now i am wondering if i was preggo to begin with or maybe we missed it. before my period i have been running to the bathroom, and felt nauseous, and i cant stand the smell of certain things, i am wanting to go take a pregnancy test just to be sure, and go see my doctor just to be sure, but what i REALLY wanna know is that have any OTHER ladies experienced these type of symptoms during their pregnancy? and if so how did it work out?
i know that there could be a chance of a misscarriage thats why i wanna know so quickly.
soooo.....? any help ladies?please?

If you have a 28 day cycle having intercourse on day 10 or 11 of your cycle is a tad early. So really how long are your cycles?

I don't want to burst your bubble, but I've been in your situation before. We had sex around my fertile time (if you indeed have 28 days cycles or somewhere close to it you can get pregnant from having sex between days 10 and 15 in your cycle) and then I ended up having my period FIVE freaking days early and it was lighter than normal... I didn't even use a tampon, I just kept running back and forth to the bathroom wiping to see if it was still there. It turned out that I'd just ovulated early that cycle (and ever since them my ccles have been shorter - 24 days instead of 2Cool. I'm sorry to tell you this, but that was probably just your period. If it was "implantation bleeding" (which happens in a very small percentage of pregnant women) it would have been more liked a spot or two of tinged or streaked discharge and no red blood at all.

It WILL be okay though, hun. Soon enough you'll have your husband home and can really start trying to conceive. Don't feel bad though... getting pregnant really is harder than high school health classes make it sound Very Happy

i just dont see how people who want babies so bad cant have them
and the ones that dont just give them away.
i would kill to have a baby with my husband,
i would give my left foot to have a
little bundle of joy of my own.

Yes, it totally matters. Those whom are TTC usually keep track of thier cycles to further thier chances to catch that egg. It takes a healthy fertile couple approx. 1 year to concieve. How long have you been trying?

You might wanna start keeping track of cycles from now on.
