Completely Confuzzled!!

JustChan · December 2010

Has anyone had (or known anyone who had) what they thought was AF, tested anyway and got a BFP?? I got what I think is AF a week early this cycle. Which is weird for me!!!!!! I have been exhausted (for what appears to be no reason) had no appetite what so ever and have waves of nausea that hit me fast and then disapear... AF wasnt even scheduled to appear until the 28th. So I am wondering if this is even worth "wasting" a test on?

Some input would be great!

Maybe you could waste an OPK, and use it as a HPT. My BFF had "bleeding" where her period would have been when she found out she was pregnant. I dont know.

anyway Good luck!

What do you mean when you say "you think you got AF earlier this week"? Was it red and enough to wear a pad or tampon? If so, then you had your period. You could have a cold right now and that is why you feel that way.

FyreFry5 · December 2010

If you had a red flow, then highly unlikely. Probably just ate something funky or you have a bug.

Wellll I say "think" because I have talked to a lot of people who have very heavy spotting or implantation when they are pregnant. I am not an idiot and do understand what it means to have a period. I also do not have a cold or flu or anything. I am asking because I have been feeling off. And in recieving other less condescending posts and comments from other people I see that I am not alone in wondering this.

I don't think she was being condescending. Can you bleed and still be KU? Of course. Can we tell you if you are pregnant? No. POAS.

This is not a condescending post. If it was implantation or spotting it would be browinsh and not enough for a pad or a tampon. If it is your period, it is red. That is why I asked you if it was red and if you had to change a pad or tampon because that would be your period.

What is heavy spotting? if it's implantation it will be light n usually when you wipe

Heavy spotting is different from red flow. If it was red flow, then you had your period. If it was just spotting, then you didn't have your period and it is possible that you're pregnant.

A lot huh? Implantation bleeding is rather rare. So, if you know all of this my advice? Take. a. darn. test.

JustChan · December 2010

Your right she may not have been being condescending.

However, I did feel as though she was so I addressed it accordingly.

Sorry If that was out of line. I just dont like being talked to like an idiot.And thats how I felt it came across.

If this is how you took her comment than you're in for a ROUGH ROUGH ROUGH ride around these parts.....just a head's up.

Dman85 · December 2010

I've heard of it happening before. I think you should buy a cheap test and find out for sure, otherwise you are going to drive yourself crazy!

Really? Sorry, but I'm not seeing it. Lynn asked a question for clarification so that she could give you relevant advice and answer your question. I'm not sure what you would have preferred that she say.

This is exactly what happened to me. I had what I thought was AF a week early (I'm usually right on time or a few days late but NEVER early with AF). I started using OPKs about 10 days later because I assumed I would be ovulating soon, long story short turns out I was pregnant. Unfortunately I had a MC about a week later. I would wait a day or two after when you expected to AF to arrive. GL it's definitely possible that you are KU.

StephRuns · December 2010

I'd wait until the 28th and see if AF really comes. If not, test then.

PitterPat11 · December 2010

Test! It happened to me, I thought I had AF early, and two weeks later got a BFP. I would def. test just to be sure!

Based simply on this response, I say, please don't come to this board asking questions then get your panties in a twit because no one says, "Well of course you are KTFU! SQUEEE" If that is what you are looking for you are in the wrong place. She asked a very relevant question, since your post wasn't clear about what "I think my period came" meant. So step off your soapbox for a minute and realize that all she was trying to do was help.

PS - if you had unprotected sex, you could be pg. Since we aren't HPT's or the tampons in your cabinet, we can not tell you if you had your period, or if you are pg.

SParkman80 · December 2010

This happened to me as well. I also did not want to "waste" a test and used an OPK instead and got a BFN!

AF came two days early but I only bled for a day and then spotted for a day. That NEVER happens but I also am under a lot of stress this month. To bad my first cycle charting is all screwy but good luck to you and so sorry some people's lives are personally affected by the way you ask questions! haha! GL I hope you have a BFP!

romigu · December 2010

i got implantation bleeding and it was just a small amount of bright blood when I wiped. I never needed a pad or tampon and it lasted for about 2 days. i vote don't test early. i'm not sure the OPK is very helpful...your LH drops once your progesterone starts to be released by corpus lutuem
