Trying to Get Pregnant

i need help ladies

My husband and I had our first DD in April of last year. We have been TTC for the last 10 months. At then end of February I had my first pp period. It ended on the 24th. The last couple weeks I've been having pregnancy symptoms. Nausea, moodiness, dizzy spells, ... I took a HPT last week and got a BFN but was sure I tested a week too early. Sunday while at church I felt a big gush down there and when I went to the bathroom I was bleeding. Bright red with some clotting. It didn't last long. Less than an hr. Monday I had some light brown/pink spotting. I called my OB and they said to retest and if I started bleeding more and cramping to go to ER. I retested this morning and also.got a BFN. at 11 today I felt another big gush and when I went to the bathroom I was bleeding again. Bright red a couple very small clots. I've been cramping on and off since Sunday and feeling pretty crappy altogether. My lower back has been hurting today as well. I'm not sure what to do. Should I go to the ER? Wait? I'm so confused:( I just want to know what's going on. i know its not my period but i dont really want to let ny mind go to the other place:(

    No one here is a dr. If your dr advised you to go to the ER you probably shouldn't be hanging out here and should be taking your dr's advice.

    Only tests and a doctor can confirm anything!
    As an EMT, I am telling you to go to your doctor!!!!
    I'd be hauling your ass in if I got a call to your house and you explained that to me.

  • It's your period, I had a baby last April and just got AF back in January, i've had it twice now and it has been weird/different/nothing like it was before baby.  Very heavy, very irratic.

  • Sounds...kind of like a period.  My first few PP periods after DS were much heavier and kind of weirder than usual, too.

  • Why would your OB tell you to go to the ER for a period? Is there more to this story, or am I missing something?
    Fucking bump!!!!
  • I was looking for help not rude, cynical comments. And no its NOT my period. It ended on Febraury 24. It last 5 days. Sunday I bled for 1 hr. Wednesday I bled for 1 hr. That's it. In no way does that sound like a period.

    Ffgirl45, thank you for not being rude.

     

    d.

  • And also the fact they have bee TTC for 10 months and they have a 11 month old.... that is pretty adventurous!

    I didn't get cleared for sex until 7 weeks PP, and told me DH it was 4 weeks longer.

    Not excited as a newbie, but thanks. It is probably a period, but there are many other reasons. My training says take her in if she is that concerned. I wouldnt suggest an ER, she'd probably get sent home. I'm suggesting she go to urgent care or her dr.

    None of the bolded is concrete evidence that you are not having your period.

    Sorry, it does sound like a period to me. I can't help it if you disagree.

  • I would bleed for 15 days straight then stop for a whole day, and only to start again the next day for another 4 days. Then 2 weeks later I would start all over again. So my point is that periods do whatever the hell they feel like. Stop freaking yourself out because it's just your period.
  • Why did you not go to the ER like you Dr told you to do?
    Fucking bump!!!!
  • @youghlakebaby -- If your doctor told you to go to the ER, then that is what I would do, but I'm not sure why they told you to do that.  I'm an RN and I do triage, so I'm wondering how much blood we're talking about here when you said you got a "gush" - was it enough to soak through an entire pad with one gush (i.e. was it enough to be really concerned about)?  If it's really, really heavy bleeding then maybe you should go to at least an urgent care or your PCP to get checked today if your gyne/ob cannot take you.  Typically with an ectopic pregnancy you'll also have pain - are you currently in pain?  

    While it is very common to have periods that are abnormal in the postpartum period, if this is really abnormal for you then it doesn't hurt to get it checked out.  I don't know if you need to head directly to the ER just yet, but I would advise getting an appt with a doc (or if can't get an appt anywhere then go to the ER) in the next 24 hours.  If your condition worsens before your appt, bleeding becomes heavier (i.e you're soaking a tampon or pad in an hour or two), or you start having some serious pain (not just the "achey" variety) then you need to go to the ER.
    Good luck to you!  I hope you are feeling better soon.

    BAAAAHAHAHAHA I have a few words for you nurses, but I will keep it PG.
    Poor woman wanted help and you guys beat her up.  I offer advice and you nail me for it.  You guys can all go screw yourselves.  We are suppose to be here to get advice and support each other and all you do is sit behind a computer and criticize and make fun each other.  REAL MATURE.  Find yourselves some real jobs.  I'm outta here.

    And then if they do a blood draw, because OP seems like the kind of person who would insist on one, that's more money for lab fees. And when the blood test comes back negative, OP is all like 'I might have been...if only I had gotten a blood test earlier.'

    OP: It's really obvious that pretty much nothing that can be said or done is going to convince you this is your period. Please stop borrowing trouble. Beyond the fact that it isn't good for your mental state, it's insulting to all of the people who have trouble.

    This! (I would have bolded the "it's insulting to all of the people who have trouble".... but I'm mobile on iPhone, and couldn't figure it out!)

    It is definitely insulting! This is your period, BE THANKFUL!!


    ETA: you're/your fail
  • I'm going to try my lame joke from another thread again.

    OP and WK -- I wish I had more hands...so I could give your posts FOUR thumbs down.

    No? Man. Tough crowd.
