Ok, so, most of you have read my previous posts.....but here goes.

AF symptoms started @ Dec 12th and got AF on Dec 19th.
It lasted 2.5 days and was dark brown - no clotting.
Ended early afternoon of Dec 21st.

Bought a gazillion tests and I couldn't tell if I was getting faint lines or they were evap lines because they were so faint. BF could not see them.
Had one in the beginning that was a BFP but only close to the time limit and I think it was a dysfunctional test bc the whole thing turned blue for like 7-10 minutes before the BFP.

OK......well, bbs never stopped being sore and started to get blue veins on them, tingling and dark rings around the nipple area.

Tests.......still the same result.

So, in trying to figure it all out we thought maybe I did have a short period on the 19th or maybe got PG right around that time and it was just too early to pick up the HPT???

Now I got home from school today and had a lot of gas and also made a BM. After when I looked there were a few spots/drops of blood in the water and when I wiped there were a few streaks also. Just a light pinkish/brown color.

I am very regular with 28 day cycles. They normally last 4-5 days total which was why the Dec 19th one threw me off being 2.5 days and so light. Now it has only been 17 days and this???

I can't tell if I was having PMS symptoms because I have been feeling so many weird things these past few weeks!! I have no heavy cramping or the extreme dizzy feelings I usually get bf AF.

Any suggestions on what the heck is going on????

hi Laura, well my suggestion is either its a real early af, or maybe implantation bleeding,which would explain why you have gotten a bfn(it would be to soon for a bfp)
just make sure that if you start to get pains on either side you consult a Dr. (as that would indicate a possible ectopic pregnancy... hoping you get the news you want to hear in a few days! I still am betting your pg...

hey, well, no pains on the sides but I do have mild cramps and mild lower back pain. I was just reading on another message board though where all of these women were posting their pg symptoms and many of them said spotting or light bleeding but a week or so earlier than when AF was due.
I don't know though....it's all very strange!!
Epecially since I personally felt like this all started like right around Christmas. I guess right after the short AF ((because I thought that was so strange......and that the sore bbs didn't go away) Now I am trying to think if they went away for a few days? I don't think it did. If this is implantation bleeding, then I couldn't possibly have been having any symptoms around that time, right?
I still can't understand any of it!
UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

but......we will see. If this doesn't turn into real AF then I guess I will get another test on Monday.

oh well, I don't know! I was also reading how symptoms (breast changes, etc) wouldn't even start until implantation has occured......so how would that explain my bb changes over the past 2 weeks?

I am just going to TRY to forget about it for now!!

all women are different,my boobs were sore almost immediately(about 2 weeks or so)
I know it can be very confusing,until you either get a confirmed bfp/bfn...
implantation bleeding usually occurs around the same time af is due,also some mild spotting during pregnancy is also normal.and pregnancy symptoms sometimes come and go, but usually never go away completely.
and on another note sore boobs can also indicate af is coming soon...
I know its confusing and fustrating too, but I am hoping the best for you!

That is why it is weird that sore bbs were from Dec 12 through 2 day AF (fr 19th to 21st) to the present. Man....that would be a looooooooong PMS!

if af does not show up, i would test when it would be time to get af, I know 10 days is a long time, but If you are pg, it should show up by then...

Just to let you know... Spotting can last for a long time... When I got pg this time I spotted for the longest time. Almost 5-7 weeks before it stopped.

krystal,

really? what did the spotting look like? Did you still have cramps and bloating?
Mine is only there when I go to the bathroom.
Nothing on the pad. (sorry tmi!)
But still have slight cramping and lower backache.

It's weird, bc some months, my regular AF could start out this way. Light and then heavier....and some months (like Dec) was just a rush early on and faded away so quickly. BUT has never come this early. (17 days apart)

When I had it this time around. I was just on the TP and then around the time was to show it got a little bit heavier and lasted for the longest time.

Hope you are able to find out soon if you are pg!!

Well, I put a tampon in last night bf I went to work, when I came home there was some on the outside of it but very dark brown. I used one at bed last night and this morning it was full. The blood was still dark though. I used one this morning bf school @ 7am and now it is 2:15 and this one looked full also but had red and very very dark blood on it. Again, no clots, and although 2 full tampons may seem like a lot, for me, I usually am gushing! And huge clots too normally. On day 2 of a normal AF I would probably change tampon at least 2 or 3 times. Sorry if this is too much info....just trying to make a oint
Oh, the other weird thing, had tons of gas last night and some cramping but now today the cramping is gone. Usually today would be worse than the first day. Normally I am taking 3 IB Profen at least twice a day.
I think just to be on the safe side, in case this is Implantation, I will test again next week.
