Need some help!

I've been having some weird things going on this month and I need some advice!

Typically, I can feel when I ovulate...middleschmirtz pain...I've felt it ever since I was 13...it normally lasts about 12 hours and then it's gone. This month, I had ovulation pain for 3 days in a row, which has never happened to me before. I also had a little bit of bleeding during ovulation. Then there was a tiny bit of spotting about 9 DPO (I thought this might be implantation??) Today is the first day of my missed period...I am NEVER late! For the past 3 or 4 days, I have been feeling a little bit of cramping, but there has been absolutely no bleeding. I was sure was on the way, but there's nothing. So I did a test this morning and it was definitely negative. But I have also been experiencing some mild 'ovary pain' here and there, which is also not normal for me.

-Could this be signs of an ectopic pregnancy?
-Could I be pregnant even though my test was negative? (It was one of those super senstivie tests that is supposed to be able to detect 5 days before period)
-With my first child, I tested positive the day before my period was due. Shouldn't my body react the same with another pregnancy? Or could I just not be as senstive this time?


Thanks!

If you are worried, I would go to your GP and ask for some serial Beta HCGs to be taken. I can't tell you what is going on but an ectopic is a possibility so you should seek advice. It could be nothing too but not worth ignoring!

It could be a lot of different things. Could you be having an anovulatory cycle? But I agree with emma if you are worried call you doctor. Most women aren't that sensitive to what their bodies do or don't do so make sure you have a good doctor.

Maybe since you ovulated a bit later than you thought (3 days of O-pain) and you're not really quite "late" yet. You are trying to , aren't you?

Hey Mixxer,I hada VERY odd cycle not too long ago.Ilitteraly had "O" pain from about usual O time right up until was due on and off and then I FREAKED out because it was a couple of days later.I got in e end it was just a weird cycle,perhaps I didn't O but I wasnt tempoing so we'll never know.Just want toreassure you that the cramping thing CAN happen likethat,I think it might be the body TRYING to O or something getting in the way.On the other hand when I was pregnant with my latetst,I got the cramping from 5-6 DPO,I as convinced it as implantation cramps and it continued right up until I got my and a week or so after even.Sorry if I'm not muh help.I would also go see doc.BUTwith an eptopic you would still get the so I would try notto worrtoo much!hugs.let us know!

Thanks for all the advice. I now have no cramping but my period is still very late. I feel like I could be pregnant, but my tests still say negative.

I'm a week late and decided to take a test again today. I got a !!!!! It's a pretty faint line, but it's still there! I am having some weird cramping and a tiny bit of spotting but I see the doctor on Thursday, so hopefully all is still ok. Thanks for all your thoughts and advice!!

OMG! Congrats! This is such fabulous news! The second this week and the third one very recently. Whoo-hoo, the baby train, she is a rollin' now!

Congrats on your !!! I hope everything will go well for you and at your appointment. Good luck! Sticky baby dust!!

CONGRATS MIXXER wishing you happy and healthy nine months xoxox

Saw my GP today...he wasn't at all concerned about some mild cramping and spotting. So here's to hoping it's a sticky baby! I had a blood test and find out the results tomorrow morning. Does anyone know what the blood test shows?? I know it's the HCG hormone, but can it tell if I don't have enough HCG and therefore might miscarry?

Mixxer, yes they'll test the HCG level and yes, they do like to see it above a certain number although it's somewhat subjective from what I understand (mommies and mommies-to-be chime in here!). If they repeat the test, the number *should* double in about 48hrs.

Have you told sapphire yet??

Thanks Beth. I emailed Sapphire, but haven't heard back from her yet!! I'm so anxious to tell her the news!! I'm wondering if I will just get the one blood test, or if they will give me another one in a few days?? With my first pregnancy, I just got the one. But maybe if the levels aren't high enough, they test again in a few days?? I'm a little worried, since I'm already 9 days 'late' but all my tests have been very faint lines...I wonder if that means I don't have much HCG which then means this baby won't stick?? I know I should just wait until I get the results, but seriously, my mind is going crazy!!!!

So my results of the blood test showed a level of 199...they said that was a low level. So I am to repeat the test on Monday to see if it has increased. The doctor didn't seem too concerned...he just said it was early.

Now I have to wait until Tuesday! AAAHHH! I'm going crazy!
