What Week of Pregnancy Am I In???
I am very confused about what week I am in in my pregnancy. I am not able to go to the doctor for another month due to lack of funds and insurance problems. This is my third pregnancy, and it was a BIG surprise. My last period was May 26, but it was short and only dark brown. I had been feeling dizzy, sick, tired and starting to get a belly for the last two months. I only took a pregnancy test because I was suppose to start that day and I felt sick, so I thought I would just see. And it came back positive. I didn't start thinking I was further than 5-6 weeks, until the last three days I have felt movement. I am 98% certain that this is baby movement due to the type and frequency-and that I have had two babies before. In thinking about the timing I would be 10-11weeks along which would make sense that I am feeling flutters already (i felt my second child at 9weeks).
Anyone else have this experience of having a period even though you were pregnant, or that you were further along than you thought. I know the doctor will be able to tell me but since I won't be able to speak with her for a while to confirm I thought I would just toss out the question here!
Thanks
P.

I would find my local clinic or get to welfare or WIC if you are in Ohio as soon as possible to get help. Just because you have no funds. There are places that will help you to get the care you need, also try women helping women.

P.,
Spotting and/or full periods after implantation is extremely common. It has happened to me in all three of my pregnancies. Just go back to the last full period, which was April for you? That is if May was the one where you only spotted. Babycenter.com has a good pregnancy calculator also.
Hope this helps!

I felt movement very early... because I was pregnant with twins. Maybe your calculations are right. Good luck and hope everything goes well!

I have two things. A friend of mine had a periodish that was brownish and her dr told her it was he egg burroing into the uterus. The other thing I will say is my sister thought she was only a 10 weeks and started feeling her baby and thought that was odd, movement so early, it ended up she was father along and was pregnant with twins. Dont want to scare you but that has happened before...
Good Luck

Congrats! My lmp was May 25th so I am right with you. I started to feel something also but at the stage I highly doubt its the baby. I have put mine off as gas bubbles or something. Sometimes the "period" is just implantation bleeding. I found out June 29th I was prego w #3 and the doctor wont see me until July 30th. Have you gotten sick yet. I always get sick at 8wks... so far just nauseated so I am about right at 7wks and some days. Your due date would be like March 1st . You should go to www.babycenter.com they have lots of helpful info and you can see what stage you are right now and what to expect

I spotted at the beginning of 2 of my 4 pregnancies and it was the dark brown old blood. My Dr assured me that this is normal.
Hope you can get to a dr soon.

I had one period after I was pregnant with my first child, which is why I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was about 9 weeks along. I had a normal period and then the next month I spotted for a few days, so I was still in denial that I was pregnant. It's very possible, but only your doc can tell you. Hopefully you work out your insurance issues soon.
Good luck!

If your last cycle was truly May 26th you are 7 weeks and 1 day along today. Congrats!

i felt baby movement really early with my third too-- around 11-12 weeks!
was the bleeding on day 28 or more like day 21 of your cycle? implantation bleeding is pretty common, but happens about a week after ovulation, so it's not quite on schedule with your normal period (assuming that you have a normal period.......)
my friend had a full period after she got pregnant, and had a healthy pregnancy and a beautiful baby. so it happens...
lucky you, you might already be through the yucky first trimester, without even knowing it!!!!
