Hi, first time user! I've been trying to get pregnant for almost 4 months. I had some issues with my cycles but finally got a period almost 3 months after I went off the pill.
After the first period finished all was well, then about 5 days later I started spotting - very light and only really when I went to the toilet. The spotting ceased about 2 weeks later. I then got what I thought was my period again. Although this time it was very light and hardly any blood, mostly brown etc. This all finished up just over a week ago.
The start of last week I had a sore throat and sore gums. This went away and a day or so later I had a really weird day, extremely tired. I decided to do a workout and thought that I'd be okay, it was so hard, harder than ever before. I came inside and tried to make dinner and felt faint and snapped at my husband (Not a normal occurrence) and had to sit down while he prepared dinner. I slept like a baby that night.
The next day I thought I'd pop by the store to get a pregnancy test, not because I thought I was pregnant more so just to check. I didn't think I was because of the spotting.
The test was positive....but I was sceptical! I did another one the next morning and again positive... I went to the Doctor who did another test and again postive.... I then had to go for an ultrasound because I had no idea of my due date because of all the weird spotting.
They were unable to see anything so I had the vagina ultrasound...not nice! Still again not able to see anything...very dissapointing and added more weight to my "I'm still not convinced" thought. No evidence of ectopic pregnancy, however possible that I may have miscarried.
From what I've read I have all the signs of being pregnant, a headache since last night, frequent urination and different smell, bowel movements - less frequent, dizziness, sensitive to smells, nausea and parts of my brain seem to have left the building! If I miscarried I don't believe I would have any of these symptoms???
I guess I'm looking for someone who may have gone through something similar or know of someone who has.
I now have to wait for 2-3 weeks before I can have another scan and the blood test to follow up. They did say that if I was earlier that 4-5 weeks that it wouldn't show up on any ultrasound...
Anyone out there who can talk???
