BFN but feeling pregnant

Saltylady

I already am lucky to have a 4-1/2 year old daughter and 13 month old son.  We are trying to conceive again....was pregnant and ended with miscarrage at week 5 on June 20, 2013.  Had a heavy period that started on July 22, 2013 and ended about 5 days later. Was suposed to start my period this month August 20th however I begun to have pregnancy symptoms (all of them it seems from headache, nausea, extreme tiredness, boobs sore off and on, could not be around certain foods and today the 23rd my lower back is aching) as well as kinda dark brown spotting on Aug 20, 22 and today it seems more pink.  I took a home pregnancy test which showed BFN on Tuesday and today.  Blood was drawn today to see what my hcg levels are.  What could be causing all this within my body?  This is such a rollercoaster of emotions and I just do not know what to think......and I am 37 yrs old.

I should note that with my miscarriage at 5 weeks I had an ultrasound done (went to ER when I started bleeding) and no sak was found and my hcg levels were down to normal. When I had blood work done to prove I was pregnant the hcg levels were great.

Well looks like my body faked me out this week....seems that AF is here. Guess we will try it again next month. Again definitely blessed to have had two healthy pregnancies (even though both were preemie's).....but definitely a downer and learning experience for me.

Unfortunately your body, hormones, cycles, etc. can be all kinds of wonky after a loss, even an early one. I have many symptoms with PMS now that I didn't really have before my loss, and even now, seven months later, my cycles aren't very 'normal', I have really varying lengths of LP and O dates. Basically, nothing is predictable about my cycles and symptoms mean nothing, I could get faked out a lot of cycles but I know not to read too much into cramps, headaches, nausea, or anything else that seems like it could be a pg symptom. I get them all the time, still no pregnancy for me.

Thank you...I am wondering if I should speak to my GYN and see if they recommend testing my hormones now or maybe wait another month to see what happens then make the call into my GYN.  Going to talk to the DH tonight and fill him in.

I had a loss at about 5 weeks a few months ago. I was out of whack for at least 3 cycles after. I would give it another month before calling your Dr.

I'm so sorry. It's a double punch when your body fools you like that.

I has a loss in early July and my cycle is all over the place... I didn't even ovulate until CD20! (normal is cd12 for me).  My Re says it takes about 3 cycles to get back on track.  The hormones before my first AF were crazy and I like you had pregnancy symptoms...it was cruel and confusing! I highly recommned tracking/temping to figure out your cycles.

Hope you get your Rainbow baby soon!

Well Only Time Will Tell. I Have Been exploring This Site And Learning A Lot. Usually My Body Lets Me know When I ovulate.....Going To Really Pay Attention To This Cycle.

was 6> or is that normal for not being pregnant

I can access my lab results online. have a call into my doctor to see what she thinks. I always thought non pregnancies Were A 4.
