The difference between my healthy pregnancy month and my MC/MA/chemicals.

Just thought I should share. (I would have loved to read something like this myself).

First off I've had 2 chemicals/early MC and 1 MA in week 7. Now I am 16 weeks pregnant.

Non pregnant cycles:
My luteal phase is 13-14 days, and I have 2-3 days of spotting/brownish discharge prior AF (so spotting on day 11 or 12 dpo usually). My cycles are/were 30-33 days if regular. I have few symptoms prior AF except the spotting. The few symptoms are light cramps or my stomach "feels crappy"/bloated, sort of, the day AF is expected. But my breasts never changed or felt different.

My chemicals/Ma AND my pregnancy:
The symptoms started early, 7-8 dpo and continued but not always every day. The symptoms were dull cramps/pressure low in my stomach, sometimes with pinches on either side. Had a feeling like upset stomach. Being bloated on and off but mostly during the evening. Tingly and itchy and sore breasts and nipples. (I just felt more aware of my breasts.) Got yellow/white creamy discharge, and quite a lot of it. Oh, and yes, no AF.

AND NOW TO THE FUN PART:: :D

My chemicals and MA only:
-- I got my spotting as usual, for 2-3 days. Maybe they were 1 day earlier than expected or so, but nothing I took to much notice of. And the when my AF was to start, they stopped.
-- I got late BFP with all being past my expected AF (like 17-19 dpo) and also faint lines.
-- The symptoms described above were felt more violent, almost like my body was being sick or something.
-- When I started to get colored discharge (brown, pink and red) later on in the "pregnancies" it continued for more than 3-4 days in a row (with the MA it continued for almost 2 weeks!). It didn't get heavier but it didn't get lighter and it continued no matter if I slept all day or went out shopping or whatever.
-- Eventually the AF-like cramps started and the nausea and the upset stomach and after that it was full flow and MC confirmed.

My healthy pregnancy:
-- No spotting prior expected AF.
-- Test 1 day past expected AF. Got a line much faster and yet stronger than the other "pregnancies".
-- The symptoms were felt less. I was sure I was imagining things and then when I got no spotting I started to think back that "hm, well, I did have stabbing pains in my breasts and an upset and dull crampy stomach... hm..." Maybe this was caused to me being more relaxed or more used to the symptoms but I like to think that my body knew what was happening this time and didn't find the pregnancy as "foreign" to it. (Some say that there are women that have problems with getting pregnant because their bodies have a to powerful and sensitive immune system. When you get pregnant your immune system lowers the threshold and lets the foreign creature/baby grow inside you, but it also means that you easier catches colds etc in the beginning of pregnancies. If your body doesn't lower the threshold the baby is seen as foreign and has a much harder time sticking.)
-- Pink or peachy discharge whenever I did anything, and I do mean ANYTHING, unusual. I couldn't work out or even go shopping or have sex... (The discharge showed up 5-24 hours after the unusual event) When I stopped I at first didn't understand why, but after talking it over with a friend I tried to go for a long walk etc to test if I would get more colored discharge, and I always did. But when I took it easy the spotting stopped completely. It wasn't until week 7 that it stopped and I could have sex and do what I wanted without any spotting.

Hope this will help people or that you find it a bit interesting.
Baby dust to all! And I hope you all get your BFPs soon!
