First paranoid post...(long bare with me)
because we are not telling anybody but you ladies about this pregnancy, I sure there will be more for a while. The only symptom I'm having is exhaustion. I had some soreness in the boob area last week and they look fuller. Absolutely no nausea(except for the episode with teenager's BO--which makes me gag anyway). Sooooo- here's the weird thing. I'm a "late" show kinda girl. Even with Alex(who weighed over ten lbs, I didn't even look pregnant until I was 7 months. I've noticed the last two days that my belly is actually starting to get bigger and firmer. Of course, I start thinking about it and a weird thought came to my head. Actually, it crossed my mind when Ann mentioned the crappy batch of generic tests out there.
Last month(June 15th-17th), I was very nauseated so I tested and got two very faint positives. I posted about it, wondering if it was possible that I had HCG in my system from my D&C five weeks before. Then, on the 18th, AF showed. It wasn't heavy, very crampy, and only lasted three days. I chalked it up to being scraped out the month before.
Now I'm freaking out that maybe that wasn't AF and those two faint positives were real. That would make me eight weeks instead of four......ACKK!!! I know...I need to call the OB, but it's Saturday and this woke me up at 3 am. I'm also trying to hold out to what would be six weeks from my last LMP(if that's what it was) because my doc will get me in really fast and I find it extremely difficult to go through loss with all their concerned eyes.
Anyway, I just had to spit that all out because I didn't even want to tell Dave. He'll just get overly worried. I also know that I'm probably clinically insane. I took another HPT this morning and got a VERY dark line before it even hit the control box.
Okay, okay---I can breath now. lol.
Hugs,
Angie

Wow. No wonder your head is spinning! No experience here with implantation bleeding but 3 days of it seems like a lot. I would tend to guess that it was indeed AF and you're more like 4 wks along. Have you had a HCG draw? I would call and request 2 if you haven't. It's about the only thing that helped me through the neurosis after miscarriages.
Remember how sick I was with Everett? A lot of sickness with Ethan too. Very nauseas with my first miscarriage, so it doesn't always indicate a viable pregnancy.
I know I've shared this before, but when I was PG with Emma, I didn't even know it. NEVER had sore breasts and only threw up twice in the 2nd trimester. I was almost 20 wks along before I really believed I was PG and that was because I could feel her kicking and moving.
Another thing to consider is that your LH is quite concentrated if the dark line showed up so quickly. This is a good thing sweetie!
I wish I had concrete answers or scientific statistics that could put your mind at ease. Just post as much as you need to, try to remember my "today you are pregnant" mantra, and remember that worrying is like a rocking chair, gives you something to do but you don't get anywhere.
Hugs, prayers and lots of understanding!

I only had exhaustion with this pregnancy and the boobs didn't hurt at ALL until 8-10 weeks. I had a day where I thought I was starting my period but it only lasted 1 day. I was a little crampy too. My belly was big and firm at 6 weeks and I was embarassed to even take my coat off since I looked bigger than my cousin who was 6 month at the time. I already needed maternity clothes as I didn't fit in anything that I owned anymore...
I had an ultrasound the NEXT DAY and they found TWINS. :-) Not that that's what going on with you, I'm just sayin'! ha ha....
I'd definitely tell them that you aren't sure about your lmp when you go in to see your OB. They will probably do a scan to date the pregnancy for you. And who doesn't want to see their little peanut?!
Good luck!

Thanks Sandy. My Doc will do an ultrasound just because she's been through the last two miscarriages with me. She was literally crying when we couldn't find the heart beat with the last one.
OMG--twins would be a shock....but way cool. I had a dream when I was pregnant with Niko that the sono tech saw quads and my mom passed out...hehe. I metioned it to Dave and he said "I wouldn't be upset." In Dave language that means, "cool." hehe. I think he'll just be happy to get through a healthy pregnancy and have our baby at the end.
