Is This Pregnancy?
Posted: 10-31-05 14:12pm

Hello, I had unprotected sex on oct. 17th, but friday b4 that I missed my b/c pills and I was put on antibotics i've heard that they can mess up your pills I was on anti. For a week takin 2 pills a day. If I wasnt on tha pill my ovulation day would have been on the 18th. Since then i've been having some pregnancy symptoms such as: sleeping more, eating more, peeing very often, i've been feeling sick to my stomach the past few days, very sore breast, headaches etc. Well my period is due on nov. 1st but now its oct. 31st and I woke up this morning to pee. After I wiped myself I saw blood on the tissue. I've been having cramps on the left side of my abdomen since tha 30th. I ususally dont cramp until that day im suppose to start my period. And my period is never early. Can somebody tell me whats happening?

I'm in the same sit. I'm not sure the exact day, but my period is a few days late. I've been totally pooped, peeing every 20 mins and eating tonnes! I haven't got the nerve to take a test yet. I don't really know what to give you for advice, I just want you to know you're not alone. Good luck, and let me know how it turns out.

i am in the same boat with both of you. My period is suppose to come on november 3rd. One of the ovulation calendars showed my period starting today. It hasn't yet. I really want a baby as well. I wish you all the luck. Was your bleeding heavy?

When does the impantation bleeding suppose to start? Its very very light, I only see it when I wipe after I pee. So I know its not my period because my period is usually heavy in the beginning, and then it gets light towards the end. I wonder should I stop taking my b/c pills?

i really can't help you there. I haven't had implantation bleeding. I really want to know more about it myself. Like what exactly is it suppose to look like? Some people don't have implantation bleeding.

I just found this information for you. Implantation bleeding is vaginal discharge which usually contains a small amount of pinkish or brownish blood. Only about a third of pregnant women experience implantation bleeding.



When does implantation bleeding usually occur?
It can happen at the time the fertilized egg implants in the uterus, on average between 6 to 12 days past ovulation.
Should I worry about implantation bleeding occurring?
Unless accompanied by cramping, backache or increased bleeding, a small amount of blood being discharged should be considered as implantation bleeding which is nothing to be concerned about.
If this is implantation bleeding, when can I test to see if I am pregnant?
Home pregnancy tests are based on a very simple principle. They work by through the detection of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) in a woman's urine. This hormone is a hormone secreted by the developing placenta shortly after a fertilized egg has been implanted in the uterine lining.
If a woman is pregnant, the amount of human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) in her system should be around 25 miu at 10 dpo (days past ovulation), 50 miu at 12 dpo, 100 miu at around two weeks dpo. Because of their high sensitivity factor ( 20 miu/ml hcg ) in detecting human hcg, both the aimstick pregnancy tests can confirm pregnancy as early as 6-8 days past ovulation. To help lower the chances of a false negative, the best time to test at 9 or 10 days past ovulation would be advisable.

when are you going to tell your boyfriend...He needs to know. Will you be okay getting through school with a baby? I"m not trying to get you down, I just think that you should think about this. Having and rasing a baby is super hard...And even harder when you are still in school. Good luck if you are though!!! I'm sure you'll be a great mommy.

Good luck,
teresa
