I don't know where to post this question! I am 44 years old. I have always been pretty regular. Cycles between 28 & 30 days. I amNOT on any type of BC becuz hubby & I have always wanted a baby. We tried for years. Went so far as injectibles but couldn't afford IUI or IVF. I got pg on Dec 31st 1999 only 5 months after hubby & I got together. We were not actively trying but we weren't avoiding either. Honestly, I didn't think that I could ever become pg becuz I was married before for 13 years & never any BC & no pg. Anyway, I lost my baby at 12 weeks on March 7th 2000 Never became pg again as far as I know.
So, I've always had typical cycles until about a year ago. I had a cy last 42 days with no explanation but for the most part, after that cy's have been regular except from time to time I would have a cy last a bit longer. Instead of 30 days, some would last 34, 38 etc. I had my hormones checked because I thought maybe peri-menopause but hormones came back normal. Dr said I was nowhere near menopause.
Last Oct I had a cy last 24 days!! I was shocked as this has never happened!! When I started, I had the worst cramps I have ever had in my entire life!! That is no lie!! THE WORST!! Bleeding was heavy & lots of clotting but lasted normal length.
Since that period on Oct 26th, I haven't had another so I am now on CD 50!! I'm having lower back pain & cramping off & on. My question is: do you think I could have gotten pg in Oct (we had a lot of sex around what should have been Ovulation time) & miscarried during THAT cy & my body is off kilter because of it? I know it takes time for your body to regulate again after a MC. If I remember correctly, it took 2 months for my body to regulate when I MC'd in 2000 so could I have been pg & had a VERY early MC around implantation?
My 2nd question is: do you think it's possible that I could be pg now? I'm thinking that I'm not now & that if I did get pg, it happened in Oct & I did have an early MC but it would have had to have been very very early as I started my period on CD 25. I know I should go get a pg test but we don't have a lot of $$ & with xmas, I just don't want to waste any $$$. If I did get pg in Oct & had an early MC, I doubt that a test would show positive now unless I was pg now.
Has this ever happened to anyone or does anyone have any info that might be helpful & put my mind at rest? Please don't post & tell me to get a test. I will get a test probably tomorrow if I don't start. Any help/info is very much appreciated!!
p.s. I don't have any children. As far as I know, the only time I have been pg is when I had the MC.
TIA
