22 months nursing/no period yet...Implantation bleeding or possible sign of returning period?

raybeth05 · October 2018

I'm probably over analyzing everything at the moment, so please bare with me. I'm still nursing my 22 month old son. I have yet to have a period since his birth. About 2 months ago, I started to feel pregnant (fatigue, sore boobs, nausea- same signs I had with him). Went to the doctor, not pregnant after two weeks of these symptoms.Doctor said it could have been my body reacting my son nursing less. Fast forward to now. I had some kind of spotting of "brown" discharge that lasted maybe two hours tops. This was on 10/13. I have two negative pregnancy tests (both 10/16 and this morning) but the following symptoms: fatigue, (worse than before), sore boobs, nausea, mild cramping, metallic taste in my mouth and strong sense of smell. Nothing sounds appetizing and I feel like I'm going insane. Is my body attempting to gear up and start having cycles again or could I be testing too early? Any direction would be helpful as I've scoured the boards and found nothing like this. The worse thing is I have no idea if I have started to ovulate or anything since I have had not had a cycle in almost two years. I do not temp at the moment but have in the past. Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to our board! Unlike a lot of other pregnancy/TTC boards, we discourage one-offs like this, and prefer to have new members join in the discussion in the WTO/TWW or in your case the TFAS (trying for a sibling) thread, and get to know everyone and make meaningful friendships. We don't like to be used as someone's personal google. We also don't discuss living children anywhere on the board except the TFAS thread because so many of our members have yet to have a take-home baby.
In regards to your question, with those symptoms, I'd bet you have ovulated and are in your TWW when the progesterone spikes and mimics pregnancy symptoms. You also could be having a reaction to hormones leveling out after cutting back on nursing. Maybe start temping again to figure out where you possibly could be in your cycle?

@raybeth05 if your doctor says you're not PG, and your test say you're not PG, then you're probably not pregnant.
You've scoured the boards for info but please read the rules first that were pinned at the top of this forum. These kinds of one-off posts are frowned upon, and if you'd seen any of the other one-off threads that have been posted in the last few weeks - and there have been many of them - you'd know that they're not appreciated.

This is a wonderful community of women who would be happy to help you, but we just ask that you please abide by the established guidelines that we all follow in order to maintain some order and consistency here.
