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

Oh that's a shame, I hope you're ok! Are things better with your DH now?
Try and put a positive spin on it - even if you're not going to actively try next month you can use it to still try OPKs/chart your temp, so you know exactly when you ovulate, ready for the next month Smile x

Had a lot going on and not been on good terms with the Husband. I'm gutted because I wanted to get pregnant this month and have a match baby which is our anniversary.. I won't be ttc next month because April is not a good month for personal reasons to have baby due x :((

Oh no, why have you not been dtd? Hope all is ok. Look at a positive, it will give you a better idea of when to pinpoint your ovulation for next month :)

The brown discharge with the bit of blood in middle lasted 9/10 days not had anything since. Guessing it was a very odd "period".. Been doing ovulation tests over last two three days because I should be ovulating around 15th-22nd at some point. Looked more dark yesterday than today not sure if I've missed my chance not been doing the deed :'(

Any sign of AF, 16? Or done any more ovulation tests? Smile

I understand you wanting to be safe but I must say it's a shame. I really don't have the will power to not ttc for another six months, I think if I waited that long I would have totally gone off the idea of it by then and lost hope :/ having said that.. The wedding will help massively. We were thinking of having kids before the wedding but I was strongly against it, I just felt I wanted to do it the right way and get married first and share the same name and have a little more us time. It soon passes and the wedding is another life changing experience to get excited about :))) xxxx

Ill still have the pregnancy test delivery but not sure I'm going to test. I don't think it's pregnancy. I think the OPK would have been stronger if it was so think it's just picking up on ovulation most likely. Your meant to test once a day at the same time of day but It can take over so I just do one now and then when I have the time xx

Hello! Same as before here, thinking we're prioritising a wedding (this year!) then straight into baby making Smile have decided we will use condoms between now and getting married to play it safe. I still can't see how either of us have picked up Zika but I appreciate my DF is worried about it.
Good thinking with the OPKs, have never used them myself but read about them on here. Maybe a day or two until your test line will be as dark as the other? How often are you meant to do them?

Also (and not wishing to her your hopes up) apparently OPKs can pick up the pregnancy hormone, have seen women get positives on them on here... Are you still expecting to have a first response test delivered on Wednesday?

TheseAreTheGoodOldDays - how you getting on? My "period" came to an end after 9/10 days. Don't think I'm pregnant coz I'm getting a faint ish line on OPK and so think I'm due to ovulate soon perhaps. X

Ordered more OPK tests too to see if I pick up anything from them but also to see If I ovulate this month. Don't know what to expect after these last 8 days and still going at min x

Unfortunately not.. But I've just ordered two from eBay but they don't come until Wednesday :( x

Yeah I've heard the digi clear blue ones aren't as sensitive as a frer... Seen pictures on here where the two lines on a frer are clear as day but the digi still says 'not pregnant'.. Any chance you can get yourself to a shop tonight ready to test in the morning??

16MrsE · 09/06/2017 20:09

Oh wow, so it was pretty obvious that you was expecting xx :)

Can't see it mention any levels says u can us it 6 days before period is due is it's meant to be 90% accurate if used on day period was due x

OP posts:
emvy · 09/06/2017 19:45

Yeah but what levels do they test? First response have the highest sensitivity on the market at 6miu.

I missed it completely. Had the tiniest of light pink spotting after dtd once but that was it.

16MrsE · 09/06/2017 19:29

So you had no period at all and missed it completely? X

OP posts:
TheseAreTheGoodOldDays · 09/06/2017 19:24

Congrats emvy!
Maybe worth trying a first response 16MrsE, it may be able to put your mind at rest Smile

emvy · 09/06/2017 19:05

No I just had super faint tests that weren't getting darker and it was way after my period should've been due so I was panicking. Had a mmc before so it was freaking me out a bit!

Maybe try frer in a few days if no luck x

Emvy - Congratulations!!!! Remind me of your symptoms etc again hun? Did u have same thing with a dodgy period Etc?

I tried another clear blue this morning. Not ordered any first response tests x

OP posts:
emvy · 09/06/2017 18:49

Got my bfp with a first response I mean - maybe worth a try? Clear blue test high levels x

emvy · 09/06/2017 18:49

Did you say you'd tried a first response?

I did one this afternoon and finally got my clear bfp. Such a relief. I really hope you get answers soon Sad

I have one more clear blue. Think I'm gonna just leave it now, too disappointed when I get a negative :( x

OP posts:
TheseAreTheGoodOldDays · 09/06/2017 18:27

Hopefully you will know one way or the other soon! Do you have some more pregnancy tests? Maybe give it until Sunday and try again if there's no sign of a 'proper' period x

16MrsE · 09/06/2017 18:14

Will do :)
Been off pill for six months. Ever since then they've coma at same time each month and have always been heavy and painful. Always have been that way never experienced a "period" like this one x

OP posts:
TheseAreTheGoodOldDays · 09/06/2017 18:00

Haha if you do have a big win feel free to send some spare Zika test cash this way Grin
Hmm that's very strange. Have you been off the pill a long time? Could this just be your body getting back into the swing of things?
