Hmmm..... Not sure where to post, actually. Buuuuuut.....

Here's what is going on.

No PPAF yet. Charlie's 15 months old. DH and I have been quite active. Avoided a few times if I had EWCM. But recently it's been touch and go. I have been having cramping feelings on and off. Been feeling girded and cranky (LOL! Gotta love autocorrect! I feel tired and cranky! Not girded! Haha!). Cycles gearing up maybe?

POAS on Tuesday, just for good measure. BFN.

Anyway, yesterday (maybe day before as well) I had slightly pink tinged CM when I wiped. Not every time. But for sure there.

Soooo, what do you think? AF gearing up? Should I POAS again in a few days? If its implantation bleeding would I test positive yet? I know I had very, VERY similar early signs of pg with Gracie.

Hee hee! That's my gut reaction, AF returning. But then, I keep wondering.....

Well...you never know, at least not for a while yeah? I say, if you have a baby in about 9 months, not PPAF. Just kidding.
First, how on earth is Charlie 15 months already? Wow, that flew by quickly. What a great span this would be for another blessing. I think the twins were that age when I got preggo this time.
Your body could be working on figuring out your hormones and it may take a while. You still nurse right? Its totally possible that you O'd and got preggo and it was implantation spotting, but it could also be a slow ascend into hormone and AF land. Some women have spotting for months before AF comes because their hormones take a while to get back on track.
If you did have implant spotting, I would think some hCG would show up on sensitive test in three or four days, give or take. Think about how the hormone doubles ever "two" days on average and the most sensitive test tests around 25, so you could get a light line with less than that in there. To save the test, I would wait a week and test, and if no BFP, chalk it up to PPAF trying to come.

I pray everything works out as you hope!

Blessings,

Haha! You crack me up, Amber! I've had some phantom kicks in the last few weeks and I would giggle thinking, if I suddenly have a REAL belly going on, I should probably test or see the doc. Hee hee! I *do* have a belly but I can't blame anyone else but me for that one.

I bought three dollar store tests. So I guess I'll wait a bit before using another one. I haven't noticed anymore pinky stuff.

I'm probably making a bigger deal of it than it needs to be.

[buttercup_97140]

Before the twins, I literally swore I felt kicks for months....seriously felt like baby kicks, but I think it ended up being gas in my intestines that probably went back a little different after Mak....LOL. I almost had my friends on L and D give me an ultrasound just to make sure, but I ended up not doing it.

I always use the dollar tree tests, and I when I get BFPs I always get REALLY light lines, even when I'm late for a bit. It takes about 2 or 3 weeks for me to get dark lines. Even with the twins when I got my BFP around 8 or 9 dpo it was super light forever. I did use the strip tests you can buy in bulk online, but they test at the same level as dollar tree, and I got some tests from the hospital that is about the same too.

Keep us updated!!

Aw! Thanks, T! At least I'm not alone in the "What in the wooooorld is going on?" game!

Yesterday I had a little more brownish tinted CM. But it's like a LOT of CM and hint of color. Haven't noticed much today. Hmmmm....

So, I could test today or next week BUT! Next Saturday we leave for Cali. And, well, to be honest, I don't want to be keeping a secret the whole time and we will NOT be telling people right away. We're the kind that keep it hush hush until closer to the end of the first tri ('cept for my CMamas and a few other select peeps).

But, as I'm typing, it's hitting me. What if I am pregnant? What if I am pregnant and DH doesn't have a job? What if people are scared FOR us? What if they then get to see God at work in our lives? Buuuuut, then, I may not be pregnant AT ALL!!!

LOL! My brain is spinning with so much..... job applications for DH, trip planning and prepping, pregnant?, party planning for Gracie's bday......... YAY! So much awesome stuff going on.

[melloyellochelle]

Thanks Ruth! That's my guess as well. Nothing else going on that makes me think otherwise now. Just new to me. Didn't go this long with grace before my period started up.
