Q'S for all you grads

Hey... Hoping you can give a little insight. I have posted a few times on TTC and thought maybe I should go straight to some ladies that are definitely experiencing pregnancy. I have 3 children already and have been pg 4 times, my husband and I are trying for #4. I really didn't pay all that much attention to my "signs" or "symptoms" the last few times, other than a missed period.

Ok, so I'll start from the beginning... I had AF on 1/20. At that time we were not going to TTC and I started BCP on 1/25. I have NEVER taken BC before. I took those for 5 days. They made me feel horrible, plus I was onboard to conceive just waiting on hubby. We talked about it again and he said let's go for it! I was off the pill for a few days and I started bleeding (Feb 2). I bled for 7 days... just bright red blood, no clots. Maybe one or two pads a day.. pretty light. Called my dr and they felt like it was just some breakthrough bleeding, not a real period. My dh and I bd'd almost every day. Then the IPS began. I felt nauseous, tired, boobs heavy, this went on for 2 weeks. Took a few tests... negative. Pretty much talked myself out of thinking I was pg. Valentines weekend we went away for a little mini vacation, I started having some pain on my left side and increased cm... kinda creamy. We had a good time... bd'd... I got to thinking that maybe I o'd on Valentines weekend. Last week on Wednesday I started having AF cramps. Lasted until Saturday... I thought ok, this is it... AF is here. Never happened. This is strange for me. I usually have AF cramps on the day or right AFTER I start. Not usually before. My boob have been heavy and they hurt, around the nipple, at night only. I had no cramps Sunday or yesterday, but my bbs were sore again last night. Again this is strange, because I usually have sore bbs and it lasts all day, all night until a start, usually 3 days later. On Sunday I noticed that I started tasting something metallic in my mouth, usually when I swallow. It happened again yesterday and again this morning when I drank my morning water I couldn't even swallow the metallic was so strong. I did test Sunday and got a negative. This morning I was horribly emotional and then I had cramps again. I have not started yet.

Should I count that bleeding I had in early Feb as a period? If so, then I should start on March 2. What would you do? Call the dr? Wait until next week? I know you guys can't tell me if I'm pg or not, just looking for someone that may have had a similar experience. I know that pg and pms can have the same symptoms. I'm just sick of all this waiting and wish that either I would start or get a + test. Thanks for hanging through this long post.

Thanks!!

Cary

Hey sweetie!

Honestly if you can get in to see your doc or talk to your doc I think I would go that route.
