Hi,

Even though I know the only thing I can do is wait for the blood test results I really wanted to ask if anyone has ever had similar happenings in any of their pregnancies...

I stopped taking the pill in December 10 after my DH and I decided we wanted to start a family. My AF has almost been very regular and nothing changed after stopping the pill. I have had my AF on time for the past 3 months EXCEPT this month.

I have taken 3 home pregnancy tests which all came back positive. This was after I began to experience mild nausea, fatigue, frequent urination and became very hormonal. These symptoms started 5 days after my last AF last month.

My doctor sent me to have an ultrasound to assist in confirming my pregnancy and how far along I might be. They didn't find anything and was told that it might be too early at this stage to detect anything via ultrasound.

I began to bleed 12 days before my next due AF which I am concerned about as I have NEVER been this early in my life. My doctor told me that it might be my body threatening to miscarry (if I was pregnant). He sent me to have a blood test to measure my HCG levels. I got the results the next day but all the doctor told me was "it is too early to confirm at this stage so I would like you to have another blood test before the end of this week".

So I had the blood test done this morning and they told me that the results will be at my doctor's on Monday morning so I am left wondering for the rest of the weekend.

My question is... is it common for a woman to have an AF and an irregular one at that if I have only just fallen pregnant? I did read somewhere on the internet that it is possible, if my HCG levels are still quite low, that I can have "break through bleeding" and this can also be present during the whole of a pregnancy.

I really hate having the wait and I know that is my only choice but it would be interesting to discuss this with other women who have experienced or are experiencing the same thing. I'm being realistic at this point of time and understand that there is a chance that I may have really been pregnant but it might have failed.
