Uh Oh......

So I think I posted on here before about thinking I was pregnant again after just having my baby boy who is 3 months old. Today I am noticing I can smell about everything. Am I losing my mind? This is really the only "symptom" I am feeling besides being extra tired (but then again- my son wakes every 2 hours at night).

yes. no, maybe.  have you poas?

No, not yet. I wouldn't / shouldn't be more than 2 weeks if I am... what is the quickest pt for results?

Wait 2 weeks pregnant or 2 weeks since ovulation?

If your feeling symptoms you have enough HCG in your body to register on a HPT.

 i lost track of my ovulations because I just had my son... so I feel really off track. I'm not sure, but I THINK 2 weeks since ovulation?  I am breast feeding so I really don't have periods. Would I have hormones from my last pregnancy still in my system that would give me a false positive??

SockMonkeySam

Yes after pregnancy and birth you can still have HGC in your system.

But if your son is 3 months old.. you should have gotten a period by now. I would take a test and than if it comes out positive call a doctor for a blood test to track your Beta.

I had something of a period a few days ago. I bled for a little less than a day, and before that I bled for almost 3 days (that was maybe a month ago). I'm not sure what all of that means. I guess I can have my hubby stop by the store and buy a cheapie. 

I'm trying to sort out the symptoms which are hard because:

I'm tired anyways from staying up all night with DS

I'm moody because I'm tired

My boobs hurt because I BF a lot

I have headaches because of all of the above.

I guess we will find out later tonight?

I had my first period when my son was 10 months old. It's very common not to ovulate when you're BFing. The only way to know is to POAS; if you're pregnant enough to have symptoms you're pregnant enough to get a 2nd line.

not true.. reguards to pregnant enough for that 2nd line.. i was having symptoms for 3 weeks before i got a bfp on a hpt.

 

and.. she doesnt have to have had a period by now at only 3 months.. if she is bf, then she could not get it for a year even. 

 keep an eye on your body.. take an hpt, go to doc and have blood done.

I would go to a doctor and/or poas. The one day of mild bleeding could have been implantation bleeding, also could be nothing but its worth finding out.

 

Also with regards to not getting a period in 3 months, I agree with the pp who said it can take a lot longer if bfing. In fact I had a friend who breast fed her son for over 2 years and never got a period until she weaned him.

DD is almost 10 months old and I still have not had AF.

I've thought I was pregnant several times, but nope! Even after the sore boobs, headaches, dizziness, incredible sense of smell, nausea... My body/mind was playing tricks on me. POAS is the only way to know for sure. My vote is not pregnant though.

I thought I was pregnant in November of last year (I was not late yet so I didnt POAS) but I had breast tenderness and at Thanksgiving I had this crazy sense of smell.  My aunt made some crazy dish that was apples, carrots, raisins, nutmeg, and orange juice.  I walked in while it was cooking.  I stood there for a minute and asked why we were eating apples, carrots, raisins, with orange juice and not the typical dishes.  Everyone's jaw dropped.  I wasnt pregnant though.  I think I had convinced myself that November was my month and was more aware of my body.
