Would you waste money on a pregnancy test in this situation ?

This could be a pregnancy thing ( very unlikely ) or more likely a hormones thing.

I am 39, two kids.

My period is due and reasonably regular. Between 28-33 days.

Today is day 29 and it’s expected tomorrow. However it could also be further away if that makes sense.

I have had very very mild spotting and very very mild cramping since yesterday.

for the last 5 years, I’ve not had this kind of spotting. Usually, my period just starts.

I very much doubt I am pregnant. But I wonder if peri menopause can start this way ? I don’t think I’m going to waste my money on a test.

I know I’m probably not pregnant, but just wondering if it could also be peri menopause ?

They cost £1… not really breaking the bank

Did you have sex without protection? If yes, then of course its very possible. If you used something, much more unlikely!

Seems a bit of an overreaction. I’d just wait.

Today is day 29 and it’s expected tomorrow.

WHY would anyone buy a pregnancy test before their periods were even due?

I did once when I just felt really off..turns out I was pregnant
