Could I Be Pregnant? Help! (spotting...) Posted: 01-15-05 20:53pm
I was reading some information about early
signs of pregnancy and realized that I
could be experiencing one of them. It
said that around 8-10 days after
ovulation, little pink spots would show up
in your underwear (spotting) and that it
would occur a few days before your period
was supposed to start. Well, last night
this had happened, as well as this
morning. I'm supposed to start my period
in the next 3 or 4 days and today is
exactly 8 days since the last time I had
sex with my boyfriend. We used protection
and he didn't even cum inside me, but i'm
still not sure. I was wondering if
perhaps I could be pregnant or if my body
is just cleansing itself of tissues.
Which would be more likely? Any other
information about spotting would be
greatly appreciated.

No one can really tell you at this point.
I think you should wiat it out or get a
hpt that test 5 days early and take it.
Or wait for your period to come. Good
luck hun

Could I Be Pregnant? Posted: 01-16-05 12:23pm
My period started on january 13th and
today is the 16th. My period started out
light and the next day it seemed to be a
normal period, but on the 3rd day of my
period I was just spotting. I had to use
a pad, but I never spotted enough to have
to change it throughout the entire day.
Today it seems to be the same way and it
is only day 4 of my period. My period is
normally 5 or 6 days long and it seems as
if it is stopping after 3 1/2 to 4 days.
I have felt kind of nauseated, had sore
breasts, seem to go to the bathroom a lot
more, have been tired quite a bit during
the day, but have trouble sleeping through
the night a lot. Could I be pregnant
even though my period started out normal
and then got spotty a couple days later?

I had a similar situation but doc's say it
was implantation bleeding which normally
happen's around the time your period would
have. I always use tampon's and with the
bleeding I had a painty liner did the job.
If you are worried I would speek with
your doctor or do a test. Also my b/f at
the time didn't cum in me either, he
pulled out and now im fixin to pop this
baby out:) so to be on the safe side and
let you know what's going on I would check
w/ a doc! Good luck hun and keep us
posted!

Another Pregnancy Question Posted: 01-17-05 00:46am
I have read that sinus pressure and
congestion can be a sign of pregnancy. I
have noticed a lot more sinus pain lately
along with my other symptoms that I
mentioned in my last post. I am thinking
I might go and buy a hpt tomorrow and test
first thing tuesday morning. My period
has never been this spotty before
especially in the 3rd and 4th day. I
usually have my period for 5 or 6 days and
today being the 4th day I had some cramps
this afternoon, but not severe enough to
take anything and it made me feel like I
had heavier bleeding, but I didn't really
at all. Do you really think I could be
pregnant? My bf uses the pull out method
all the time. We never use protection
and I am quite surprised that I haven't
gotten pregnant because we have been
having unprotected sex at least 2 times a
week for 6 months now and most of the time
we have sex more often around the time I
am ovulating it seems like. Let me know
what you think. Thanks

Hey Jess... Posted: 01-17-05 10:51am
It's really hard to say. Woman ovulate at
all times during the month. We used the
pull out method all the time also and for
about 3-month's nothing ever happened, I
guess he caught me at the right
time...Lol....I actually ovulated 6-7
day's before I was supposed to start my
next period. Either I ovulated late from
my last period or really early. But they
say women should be careful at all times
during the month. My cousin once thought
that you couldn't get pregnant if you were
on you period and used the pull out method
and now she has a 6yr old son! But there
are alot of women on this forum who used
the pull out method and became pregnant.
Deff. Take a test. My very first symptom
was severe fatigue, then I had to urinate
so bad one day that I didn't make it to
the bathroom on time..Oops:)...But it is
hard to say if it sounds like you are
pregnant or ot, woman experiance pregnancy
different. But I do know that all though
the pull out method work's sometimes it is
not %100. But if you really feel you are
or are worried at all I think the test is
your best option. Im not sure if I have
helped any but hopefully some. Are you ok
if you are? Have you spoke with your
boyfriend? Let us know hun.

I haven't talked to my bf about the whole
thing. I am going to wait until after I
take the test because if I am not pregnant
then there won't be anything to tell him.
Even though we are not married I am kind
of hoping that I do get pregnant. I am
ready to start having children. I
currently live with my boyfriend so
whatever happens is what is meant to be I
guess. I am ok with being pregnant if I
am. I want to have children so bad. I
am taking the test first thing tomorrow
morning.
