How do I determine first day of last AF?

[BTS1022]

Okay so yes im still worried that I may be pregnant again. And im trying to figure out how to calculate the first day of my last period. I though I was supposed to start on the 20th(tomorrow). But im not to sure. Here is why.

18th of Nov- I started bleeding lightly...enough for a tampon, and filled a regular tampon in a few hours(6 hrs)
This continued until the 24th of Nov. On the 24th I started bleeding very heavily, filling a super super tampon in about 2-3 hours. This lasted about a week.

So do I say my 1st day of last AF was the 18th? Or the 24th?

If it is the 18th then im late by a day so far.....if the 24th then im okay.

Im still having preggo symptoms, and they increase as the days go by. Please lend me you advice.

you wouls count the frist day you bleed no matter how liht it was. so i would say your period was on the 18 and you're a day late.

Linzola- Yup I got pregnant with Conner after DH was fixed. We never went back to have his spermies evaluated lol, so we're not even sure if it worked. So this puts me a day late, I could test now, I usually have very high HCG levels. I was able to get a positive with Conner before I even missed a period. I was on Depo...but the army was able to *wean* me off of it by giving me smaller amounts that way I could start AF and regulate it instead of quitting it cold turkey and waiting 6-8 months to start. I concieved Conner Jan 9th (going by due date), but the weird thing is, I had to of ovulated the first day of my period because I started my AF Jan 9th lol.....UHG! This is soooo confusing. Now I know how all of you feel when in the 2WW lol

I am having the the same issue as you! Huh I have taken a couple of $ store tests and they are faint positive and are a little darker every day but I have had that happen before! Did you say you concieved Conner after DH nutering? hehe

Wait a week and retest - thats the best way to find out.

Also I know every pregnancy/birth/post partum is different from child to child. But my periods have always been so regular I would know the exact time of the day it would start. I was always that regular right after my first AF from having a baby, which is why im so nervous. Im also having unexplained nausea, insomnia, not enough sleep, cramping in my lower back, and clear CM.

Conner is 2 months old....hopefully im just late lol

Yup, looksl ike it! How old is the little one again? Maybe your periods haven't regulated themselves yet? It can come and go for up to a year after giving birth. Retest in three days and if it still says negative and no AF, I'd assume your periods are a little out-of-whack because of giving birth recently!

Joy- So im late by a day? lol

[JoyRenee]

The first day of bleeding is the first day of your cycle.

Any idea when you may have conceived?  If you know those dates, a HPT will be accurate about 2 weeks later.  That might take some of the guesswork out of the situation..... maybe..
