Is my period late/missed because I have been losing weight and exercising lots?

I’m honestly so stressed out about this.

Period was due Thursday and still no sign. On Monday evening last week I had some pink spotting when I wiped and one tiny dot in my underwear so thought my period was starting early, put a pad on but nothing happened. I had some cramping most of the week like it was about to begin but it just didn’t. DH had a vasectomy last year so seems unlikely I’m pregnant, I bloody hope not anyway. I realise the spotting sounds like implantation bleeding so I took a cheap test on Tuesday evening and again Wednesday morning first thing, both were negative. I’ve bought some first response on prime which should be delivered today to try those.

I’ve lost 24 lbs this year and I’ve been exercising quite a lot so I’m hoping it’s just this? I’m on week 7 of couch to 5k, I do HIIT 3 x a week and Pilates 2x a week for context. I’m not severely restricting my diet, just eating healthily and cut out crappy snacks.

I’ll be gutted if I’m pregnant because I’ll have to terminate. We have 2 very lovely toddlers who are great but I had severe PND both times and quite a traumatic time TTC DC1 with multiple miscarriages so I just don’t feel able to go through it again. Also had a CS both times and don’t really want to go through another. DH had the vasectomy to prevent any of this. It’s unlikely to be pregnancy, right? I am still BFing my 18 month old but I’ve had periods since he was 3 months old so it’s never really stopped them.

How old are you? Don't panic yet.

Did he get the all clear after the vasectomy?
