I Need Some Advice... (TMI)

[JennaJayen]

I put this in another thread the other week and have now realised that it belongs in here, so here goes:

Not sure if this belongs here or not, but as we're currently TTC, I figured this was the best place to put it.

I'm a bit confused. AF arrived last friday exactly on 14dpo according to FF and the O temp rise (fridays temp was 36.4), but it was just light spotting for the entire day from 10:30am when it arrived until about 3 in the morning (when I woke up to go to the loo). Normally I only have light spotting for 4-6 hours only, if I even get spotting. Usually it starts off heavy, but the previous two cycles I had a couple of hours of spotting.
On Saturday the bleeding was heavier - though still not as heavy as normal - and bright red, with small dark/black looking clots.
That night I got sick with a gastro virus, and spent all that night and half of sunday bringing up everything I drank - I didn't eat anything until lunch time when I could keep things down. By this point AF was pretty much non-existant, just a very very light brown, mucousy spotting.
Having not slept I considered not doing my temp, but ended up doing it anyway - it was 39 degrees!
By evening AF was still very very light brown, mucousy spotting.
Monday I was feeling a lot better, still weak, but able to eat a bit more than just plain toast and drink more than just water. Temp was down to 37.3, AF was slightly heavier - Pinkish with a hint of Bright Red in the middle of the morning and the middle of the afternoon and a few small dark/black clots. By evening it had completely finished.

I didn't even have AF for a full 4 days - Normally it lasts for 6-7 days, I have never in my life had an AF this short before even when really sick.
Also, my BB's are still really sore like they are after I 'O' - sharp stabbing pains, stinging pains, nipples are a bit sensitive still - but I'm pretty sure that I'm not preg as two HPT's - one on monday and one on wednesday - were BFN's. I still get a bit crampy down there too.

I was wondering if anyone else TTC had had this happen to them and I was also wondering if they ever found out what caused it? I have a doctors appointment on Monday, but I'd like others thoughts on this and a list of questions/ideas I should bring up with the doctor as I can't think of a thing to ask her other than "What caused this? And how has it affected my insides? And can I still keep TTC?".

Thank you for reading through all this.

I have just been to the doctors and seen my DS's MCHN who both say that there is a possibility that I could be Preg and/or have had a m/c. I did another HPT on Saturday Night, which came up -ve, so I'm pretty sure that I'm not preg but have had bloods taken to determine it anyway, along with bloods for Full Lipids and what I believe is my Iron Levels. I will be finding out the results on wednesday, but I wanted to put this before all you guys to see what you think so that I can take a few other ideas/thoughts to my doctor.

hey hun. As you know, I'm in a similar situation atm, although I only had enough bleeding to stain the tip of a tampon. I just took it as a mid cycle bleed that couldn't be explained. I am under a bit of stress of late, so maybe that was why I had the bleed. I know you are a bit stressed too, perhaps you had af but it was cut short?? Really don't know lol, like I said, I'm in the same sort of situation as you...

Thanks darl I just thought I'd see what other people think. I'm half hoping that it was just stress that did it and not another m/c

I suppose I'll have to wait until wednesday to find out. Still getting the stinging pains on my left side at least once a day, so thats cause enough for worry in itself lol

I hope you're having a good day today
