pregnant and bleeding ???

[allbee]

Hi hope someone can help

i have 4 kids all normal pregnancies no implantation bleeding etc

ive been trying to concieve for about 4/5 months, my periods are usually very heavy and flood and last 5/7 days religiously.

for the past couple of periods it has only been for 2 days and only spotting 1 day, moderate to heavy the next then off again.

i have nausea, lower back ache even when i am in bed (like something is on a nerve) abdominal cramps 7 days prior to this months period/vaginal bleed, headaches(dont usually get) a fluttery feeling in the uterus area, and extremely tired nodding off in the day. heavy tender breasts and clothes feel slightly tighter

i dont know if its possible to bleed and be pregnant as i have never had this before with previous pregnancies. is it possible to have been pregnant for a couple of months and not know because of this bleeding i have.

any advice /help is really apperciated.

thanks in advance
and good luck to those trying to concieve

If you have taken tests than you can't be pregnant a couple of months.  It would be too early for the flutter to be a baby.  Like Mandi says, all pregnancies are different, good luck..

No problem.  I would try another home pregnancy test, but it does sound like it might just be periods changing a bit.  It's not uncommon.  Or go straight to a bloodtest...that is the most accurate.  Good luck!

sorry for any confusion there

SOrry, just a bit confused on the HPT tests.  I just saw your post in pregnancy 18-34 and you said there you have done several which were all negative.  But here you say you have not yet taken any tests?  This does make a big difference, so may I ask which it is?  Have you done a pregnancy test or not?  Thanks for clearing that up for us.

Many women do have some bleeding/spotting during pregnancy.  The only way to know is to take a pregnancy test, or to see your Dr. for bloodwork.  Symptoms are just not an indicator of pregnancy as there are many other reasons they can happen.

Good luck to you.

No not taken any tests as of yet (probably should),
I've been off birth control for about 7 months now.
I'm not under any stresses what so ever. Although we are trying to concieve we are not obsessing about it by trying every night or doing ovulation tests etc. As we have 4 kids already if it happens it would be great but are blessed anyway if it doesnt, so i dont think it is my imagination
am puzzled :-/

have you taken a pregnancy test? how long have you been off birth control? When my mother was pregnant with me she had light bleeding like you are experiencing for the first 3 months of her pregnancy. Even though you have had similar pregnancies with your previous children, every pregnancy is different. Also, are you under any unusual stresses or had any life changes? That can also affect your normal cycle. I wouldn't stress or look into it too much if you take a test and it comes back negative... your mind could be playing games on your because you are nervous that you are pregnant. If you take a test and it is negative then the best thing you can do is make an appointment with your doctor and have them do a blood test.

Hope this helps and best of luck!!
