So, we are definitely TTA. We have used condoms in the 8 years we have been together with no issues. When we wanted to get pregnant we just stopped using condoms.

So, my dd3 is 11 months old. I got AF back when she was only 3 months old despite exclusive round the clock bf. This happened with my last lo too. It has been pretty regular. It started up kind of off as far as flow length and stuff like that but with timing it has been pretty right on and the past few it has seemed to go back to normal.

I am not very good about keeping track of AF and when it happens because its so regular I just don't think about it.

So I would say I got AF around 5-6 weeks ago. It was normal. Then about 2 or 3 weeks after that I got a single amount of blood when I wiped. It was enough that I thought AF was starting early and being weird but then it was gone completely.

Now, no AF but every time dh and I dtd which is always on the weekend, I get light spotting that day. Like very light spotting. This has happened for 2 weekends.

I also had light cramping all weekend but no AF

GAH! Does that sound like being pregnant? Like implantation bleeding? And then a sensitive cervix? I wish I was more certain of my dates.

The kicker is I hurt my ankle and I can't drive. My dh has been doing all the shopping for the past month because of it. My dh also completely loses it if I suggest the possibility of being pregnant to him so there is NO way I can ask him to buy me a test. I just keep hoping AF will show up. So far no show...

Want me to mail you a dollar store cheapie? Lol...

Aww you are so sweet. It's ok, I think I can get out in the middle of the week to get one, its just the constant waiting. At this point AF is about 10 days to 2 weeks late and I am freaking out. On one hand, weird bleeding points to crazy bf cycles and we always use a condom. On the other hand, AF is late and crazier things have happened. Just crossing my fingers that its a weird breastfeeding thing. Baby is in a growth spurt lately too and I wonder if that could affect my cycle. She barely eats any solid food at this point.

Probably just a breastfeeding thing. Mine is all over the place while I have one on the boob. Don't panic yet. Stress just makes it worse

I would guess the bf as well, but you better test just to be sure.

ReadingRenee · 03-25-2013, 02:16 PM

Thanks for the reassurance ladies. That makes me feel better. I seriously can't imagine adding another baby to our lives right now. Even though part of me would always love it the other bigger part of me would lose all my hair from stress and never get to go out by myself again. lol

Hmmm this is a hard one. sounds like your pregnant but on the other hand my cycles are not normal while breastfeeding. I haven't been as 'late' as you so that would make me want to test. Hopefully you can go get yourself a test soon just to ease your mind.

Did you ever test?
