Strange period? Or Pregnant? What's going on...

[morningcuppatea]

On Monday my period was 5 days late and I had convinced myself I was pregnant, I'd been feeling sick for the last week or so and sore breasts which were the same as when I was pregnant with DS and felt like I looked pregnant.

Then on Monday night just before bed I went to the toilet and (sorry TMI) when I wiped there was some pink blood, so I put a pad in my pants and went off to bed expecting the full force of my period by the morning. When I woke up my pad was dry and the bleeding had stopped and yesterday I didn't feel sick anymore.

Again last night before bed when I went to the toilet there was some heavier bleeding when I wiped so again I was expecting full on period this morning, but there's nothing. I feel really unwell, sickly, stomach ache, exhausted and foggy.

I'm going to the shops later today and I'm not sure if it's worth buying a pregnancy test? Or just wait it out a couple more days?

Has anyone had a similar experience to offer me some advice please?

I would buy the test and do it tomorrow with a first wee if it’s not arrived. I hope you get the answer you want.

Thanks, DH is away this week and I'm just having a wobble with no one IRL to talk to about it all.

I would buy test and take test the next day. If it comes negative take another one but make sure you wait a couple of days - a week.

It definitely sounds like you need to take a test, hope you're ok

If this is implantation bleeding a test won't show positive until about a week after first day of bleeding. Good luck hopefully you get the answer you are hoping for!

Thanks all, I've got a test so I'll let you know tomorrow.

Little bit of light pink bleeding again tonight, my periods are usually very heavy!

I thought the test was invalid because nothing had come up after 5 or 10 minutes, I've just gone to put it in the bin now 1.5hrs later and there are 2 definite lines! Does that count?

No this happens after a test has been left out a while. I would do another one in a weeks time to be sure

Thanks, I will do.

Happy news, I got a positive test yesterday!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!

I'm late to the party but yes - sounds like implantation bleeding! It's how I knew I was pregnant with my second.

Congratulations!!!
