I'm afraid the only way to be completely sure of what is happening is to use a reliable barrier method of contracption (i.e. a condom) or (EVEN BETTER) abstinence for 16 days from the last time you DTD and then do a test (because the vast majority of pregnancies will show up by the 16th day after the act). If it's negative then you're not PG and can go on the minipill (which BTW made me not bleed for 54 days then bleed continuously for the following 23 days, JIC you were looking for menstrual stability!).
Thanks, Bx! Lmao about menstrual stability, luckily it's just to avoid PG until me and DP buy a house (which we're gonna begin attempting in June). So that would be 9 more days I think? If the last time we DTD was the 28th? Sounds right. Don't suppose you have any idea as to whether it sounds like ovulation bleeding or implantation bleeding? I know, asking impossible questions.
Guess this means I'm doing the 2 week wait
IME ovulation bleeding is 2 days of red-pinkish spotting and implantation is one day pinkish and 2 days brownish and heavier BUT the PG i had implantation with i subsequently lost, so i don't know if it was "normal". I had no implantation with DD. I bleed every ovulation and because my sister has PCOS and i have thyroid insuficiency, my GP is always happy to hear i bleed when i O despite the Mirena, because it indicates it's all working fine.
Thanks again and i'm sorry for your loss. I heard recently as well that bleeding during ovulation is a good fertility sign ('cept that's not really what I was going for this year lol). From what you've said this kinda sounds more towards implantation bleeding since I've had brown blood. It makes sense that implantation bleeding would be heavier than ovulation bleeding too. Such excitement and fear all at once . .
edit: I should totally just get an OPK hey? It would confirm or rule out a major possible cause of these mysterious happenings!

You could get an OPK hun but i always bleed AFTER O, the blood is from the egg sac rupturing and it comes down about 12-24 hours after my maximum EWCM (which i have right now, feeling a bit uncomfy with it! LOL) and i know from the olden days i got the LH surge about 12 hours before the maximum EWCM, so a -ve OPK doesn't necessarily mean this is PG.
Seriously though, i just feel it in my waters with you. Whether you're PG now or not, you're not gonna make it to June!
Hehehe Bx I was wondering about that, actually - whether your feeling about me was a premonition! I didn't get the OPK and I'm still seeing brown blood on the toilet paper . . .
Oh, and before any of this, I had a dream my mum was pregnant. It may seem totally random but I wonder if its something to do with me already being am mother and being pregnant again? I don't know, in a wierd dream kinda way it was me but it was her IYKWIM? In defence of my craziness, I dreamt about severe storms in northern WA the night they happened (and I hadn't heard that there was any possibility of this). Or maybe I sound more insane now
