I don't know what is going on???

[Guest guest]

I am so confused by my own body right now! You might

remember that I had a positive home pregnancy test

about 2 weeks ago - then I had a negative blood test -

then last week I had another lightly positive HPT -

then 2 nights ago I went to bed early

feelingabsolutely terrible - and woke up about 3AM

covered in blood. I have been having occasional gushes

ever since along with TERRIBLE cramps. No clots that I

have noticed - but the blood changes from bright red

to brown to almost purple in color. These cramps are

really bad especially considering I can not take any

antiimflammatory drugs. I just broke down and took

some of my leftover pain meds from my surgery and that

is helping a little. I don't know if I should just

wait it out or call my doc. I asked a nurse about the

conflicting tests and she said " the blood test is

conclusive " - I realize it is more reliable than an

hpt - but why do I keep getting light positives??? I

don't think if I am pregnant that it is a viable

pregnancy - not with all of this bleeding - but I

don't want my doctor to think I am overreacting. If I

am miscarrying, can any harm come to me if I don't see

a doctor. SHould I just wait and follow up with a doc

when the bleeding stops? I am sorry to bombard you

guys - but I figured you might be more in tune with

your bodies than other post-ops!

I have to say that this little pregnancy scare

has actually made me look forward to having my next

baby, and although I want to wait 'till the Spring to

get pregnant - I am glad I found this list. It is very

comforting to listen to your experiences! Thanks for

listening to mine!

CALL THE DR. If he thinks you are overreacting find a new one. Alot of

blood could indicate a problem and he should make the decision about

whether or not he sees you. it's his job. That's why he gets the big bucks.
