No period or pregnancy symptoms :/??

Since coming off the pill I have had my period bang on time, arriving always on the 3Rd or 4th of each month. Therefore I was expecting my period to come today or yesterday (sat/sun).. Instead since Friday j have had odd bit of brown discharge which I've only noticed from wiping or once using a tampon for a few hours.. I've since been wearing a panty liner and had nothing show up.

I didn't expect to be considering pregnancy this month as I'm the pervious weeks we have been on holiday and avoiding pregnancy via the "pull out" technique. We were told by our nurse before going on holiday to avoid pregnancy until we returned and had a test for the Zika virus.

We hadn't had sex since coming home two weeks ago but haven't had the money to have the test for Zika yet.

Any thoughts on whether this sounds like pregnancy? I haven't really had any other symptoms x

Thanks x

Thank you. Moving forward mostly now thankfully.

I've got sore breasts, nausea, fatigue. Also missed a period. I'm certain I'm pregnant again, I have that "feeling", I just really hope the tests get darker for my peace of mind and it gets off the ground, let alone getting further than 8 weeks this time!

Mmc at 8 weeks of twins in march. Chasing a very faint positive past few days so keeping my fx they get darker over the next week!

Brown discharge could be implantation bleeding and, if so, it might take a couple of days to have enough hcg to get a positive test.

I've been pregnant four times and my only sympathies are heartburn, headaches and missed periods.

Good plan. Distraction is key! Let me know how you get on!

I get what you mean now. I've ordered more clear blue as well already without knowing the pink is better. I'll try get my hands on some and test asap but wondering whether or not to call doctors tomorrow... It's so hard to sit and wait :/ x

Basically any test with pink rather than blue dye as they tend to be more sensitive! First response test levels of 6, Superdrug early detection tests levels of 10 (both pink dye tests).

Pink dye test? Not heard of that. Really bugging me not knowing if my period is coming or not and only getting odd brown when I wipe x

OP posts:

I would try a pink dye test - first response if possible. It could be that your levels are still low. Clear blue test fairly high levels - I think 25. Apparently frer's test levels of 6. Then contact the doctor if that's negative.

Woke up to no period still. When I had wee there was a brown splodge in loo but still nothing when I wipe or on my pad. Did a clear blue pregnancy test and it was negative :( x

Well May was a 31 day month so you would expect your date to be one day later than last month (April having 30 days). I'd test on 6th if still not here.

Should I leave it a while before taking a test seen as I was due yesterday or today. I don't want to waste a test if I suddenly come on in next two days. It's just not my usual cycle as for last 5 months or so I've always come on 3Rd/4th x

It's possible, yes. Symptoms don't always show up early. I'd be taking a test just to rule it out.
