Worried I may be pregnant

I cannot believe at 35 years old I'm having to write this, but I'm freaking out.
My period is now 6 days late, I've taken 3 tests all negative. Over the last few days I've been feeling like I'm coming on and getting all the usual symptoms I get. Being extra hungry/thirsty a bit moody and snapping alot, however nothing has appeared. On Monday I had dark brown discharge when I wipe which has continued, I do have Dc but cannot for the life of me remember if I had any implantation bleeding and what it looked like.

The main reason I'm worried and the worst thing of all is I'm not sure who the father would be Blush I slept with the guy I've been seeing for a few months a few days after my last period and an ex who was just there at a time I wasn't feeling great and had, had a few drinks the week after.
I am using contraception so my periods are usually always on time.

@Jipterjames give it a rest, do. And focus on your own problems/theft.

@Jipterjames

You don’t have periods on the pill.

It’s withdraw bleeding.

You are pausing your ovulation whilst on the pill.

You shouldn’t releasing an egg.

Therefore you aren’t on a period, it’s just blood, withdrawal bleed.

Go for a blood test.

We all know what op means. It doesn't matter of she calls it her period, her withdrawl bleed or frigging Aunt Flo. It literally makes no difference given it is possible to get pregnant on the pill and the bleed, whatever it's name, is how most of us know it worked

Was just about to say have you had the jab I had it in February and had 3 periods that month each lasting 2-4 days was awful.

Like others have said, there may be a link to Covid vaccine, there was a thread on here the other day re impact of the vaccine on your periods. I read the whole chain as since having the vaccine my cycle has definitely been impacted. I think you should order one of those early preg tests from amazon and put your mind at rest.

If you are pregnant op (and it really sounds unlikely with 3 net tests) then it is likely the ex who is dad not the guy you’ve been seeing. The guy who was a few days after your period was too soon after your period to get you pregnant I think. It would be the week after chap.

I really hope you get some answers soon.

OP it’s quite unlikely that you are pregnant if you’re on the pill and use it effectively and you’ve had 3 negative tests and you’re actually “late”

Even though you’ve been really regular with your cycles, things can and do change.
Sometimes for no reason at all.

I’ve been on the mini pill for over a year and haven’t had a period in all that time - then randomly last month I had a 10 day bleed.
Speaking with the nurse when I had my BP taken recently she said that it can and does happen randomly sometimes. I also have friends who have occasional bleeds on the mini pill but usually with months and months in between.

Our bodies are weird and wonderful. You can’t really set your watch by it, even if it feels like you can.

Hope you get some answers soon! Best of luck.

Thank you I'll read the other thread later and I'm going to do a little more research.

I generally don't think I am pregnant, but it is a worry and I also cannot believe how stupid I am for sleeping with two men. I've never done it before and certainly won't be doing it again, with my ex it was definitely a mistake and a one off he was there when I'd had some had news and had a few drinks with me.
