So we DTD without protection by accident on CD13 (yeah I know, it's only been 2 months since DD was born and I don't want another for at least 3 years lol hubby doesn't want any more kids a all though ), since then I've been having O type pains and "wet" cm until CD 17, and today (CD19) I've had some EWCM and AF-type cramping followed by some slight pinkish tinged EWCM...
So I'm really hoping that this isn't implantation, but would just like to know what else it could be (other than AF and an extremely short cycle again like the last one that was only 4 days with no post partum bleeding).
It's too early to tell. AF can certainly do crazy things for a while after having a bub.
I'd probably wait a week or 10 days and do a HPT. I know it's hard to wait when you just want to know NOW.
I hope you get the outcome you are hoping for.
All the best.
thanks Ash, I did one 2 days ago with an internet cheapie in the afternoon and thought I could see a faint line, but as I said, I'm in denial so I threw it in the bin lol I have 3 left so I'll probably do one later tonight and another 5 days and then the next 10 days after that if the spotting doesn't turn into AF lol I hope it does though, not what people normally say in this part of the forum, but it's just way too soon for me lol
I can understand why you might be in denial- it is a safe place to be at the moment.
You shouldn't feel guilty for hoping that you aren't preg right now- most people would understand why you feel that way.
Take care hun, and try not to worry until you know for sure that there is something to worry about.
hmmm all this waiting and wondering, sometimes it would be great to fast forward a few times. I would agree that after a bubba the cycle can be a bit all over the shop for a little while. Did your cycle come back quickly after birth?? Just poas in the morning and see what happens.
Do not feel bad about not being ready for another baby. I had my third 14mths ago and about three times since then I have be convinced that I was UTD and cried and freaked out each time. Turns out my cycle is still all over the shop after being so consistent for many years.
It's ok to be freaking out, but know no matter what the result you will be supported here and hopefully in real life too. Fingers crossed!!
Thanks ladybirdflies My last cycle the post partum bleeding on topped 4 days before AF came, and I was sure that I O'd twice as I had O pains on the left side 3wks before and 1wk before AF turned up.
This time I was getting O pains starting on CD 13 through to CD17 on the right side an some AF-type cramping today and yesterday, we DTD on CD11, so there's a good chance I'll get UTD, I think what I'm scared about most is my past history of early miscarriage, part of our original decision to stop a 2 kids was because I don't think I could handle another loss
Gah, so frustrating not knowing whats going on, we need an inbuilt computer that tells us what is happening lol
I guess time will tell. The best way to look at the situation is that whilst you may not know what this is all about and how it is going to end up, sometimes we have a great insight about the relationship and how you meet and work through things together. You get to see what you are capable of as you hang in the not knowing these next few days. Your partner will have insights too so whilst is is annoying and uncomfortable for you, look towards the great teaching this experience is offering you if you can.
