I seriously feel like a crazy person posting here again, but then I feel crazy in general lately. We've been using condoms (yay, yeast infection for me) up until after I believe I ovulated (never had a temp spike, but had cramps and lots of CM), in fact we've rarely had sex at all (the first and only time we had sex without protection was two days ago). Yet here I am with a late period and almost all of my symptoms returning. I have no idea what's going on. I'm even cramping after sex again just like when I was pregnant before.

-Heartburn
-Covered in veins
-Nausea
-Dizzyness
-Gaining weight
-Absolutely EXHAUSTED!
-Cravings
-Severely emotional (not sure I can count that one considering)
-Gaining weight
-Not sleeping well
-Do not feel my normal period cramps at all, but I have had very light cramps since "O'ing"
-Sensitive to some smells, unfortunately of foods I like...stupid Tyson chicken
-headaches
-twinges in my stomach
-short of breath
-lots of cm
-cramps after climaxing, especially with actual sex
-pee smelt like ranch dressing, then, boullion cubes, now just a bit stronger than normal
-Thirsty ALL the time
-Boobs are so sore I can't even take a shower sometimes
-Boobs are huge and heavy and areolas are dark
-Dreams so vivid I often can't tell the difference between sleep and waking until I ask the BF what happened

I don't even know what to think anymore. Did I have a vanishing twin? Am I pregnant again even though we used condoms? Is this still the BCPs messing with me five months later? Is this my miscarriage messing up my body? Am I crazy? I don't get it. My symptoms went away for two/three weeks. Now I wake up with heartburn that comes and goes throughout the day (my first time ever having heartburn was when my BCPs were making my body think it was pregnant half a year ago and I almost never got it before becoming pregnant four months ago and then not again until two/three weeks after my miscarriage).

I ordered a set of Wondfos since they were the source of my one positive last time and I do plan on making an appointment for a diagnostic ultrasound within the next couple weeks. I just don't know what to do. All my tests were negative last time, but I was still pregnant. I just want this nightmare to be over.

I'm so sorry u r going through this. Its tuff when u can't have definitive answers. gl when u get your testsi hope the answer u get clears things up 4 u.

All of your symptoms could be related to your hormones getting back to normal after the miscarriage.

That being said, did you ever get your beta levels checked after you had your miscarriage to make sure they returned to zero? I certainly wouldn't want to give you false hope but since you brought it up, there have been plenty of women who thought they had a miscarriage, only to find out there was a surviving twin in there! You just never know.

I hope you get your answers soon.

I never went to get checked because I felt fine and my bf and I try not to spend money if we don't have to. He works at Walmart and I work at a boarding kennel. We both go to college, so we're a bit strapped for money.

I even assumed I'd ovulated until my period was late. Now I'm not sure. I never got a temp spike, just what I assumed were O-cramps and fertile CM (not clear, but very, very stretchy).

My main concern is the boy and I talked and we decided an IUD would be better and I don't want to get one in if I'm pregnant. One miscarriage was hard enough and considering the fact that I bled while I was pregnant last time I'm anxious to know for sure.

Only a doctor will be able to tell you for sure. I would make an appointment. Sometimes I think we just want to be pregnant (even if the rational part of us says no way) that we tend to overthink symptoms and the what if's.

It's funny because almost every time I have gotten pregnant it was when I was SURE I was out that cycle. The cycles that I wasn't pregnant I "felt" pregnant. :/

I felt pregnant when I got pregnant before, but I don't see how I could be now. We used actual protection this time and not just the pull and pray (which we weren't too diligent with because we figured the spermicides we were also using would cover us).
