To be going crazy over this!? (Tw Pregnancy/test)

I just don’t know what’s going on and my GP has been zero help. I usually hate am I/ am I not pregnant posts.. this is my last resort before just wasting the hospitals time.

on day 56 (yes you read that right!) in my cycle. No sign of a period. Brown spotting for a few days around day 33 which would be when I usually have my period. So light didn’t need any sanitary products. I’ve spent a fortune on tests, tests from today & four days ago looks like this -

but surely if pregnant it would be more obvious than this by now?

my GP said give it another six weeks!

I am currently 22 months into breastfeeding, so my periods can be slightly unpredictable … but not like this. I also had a miscarriage in October, and have endo, but GP seems to think that is irrelevant.

I just feel like I’m going a bit mad and am starting to feel a bit miserable/like nobody is bothered about me.

so I guess:

YABU - chill out, give it the six weeks and don’t bother anyone.

YANBU - you need to see someone. Even if not pregnant this is weird

That's a negative blue dye test (from my extensive and lengthy experience). Breastfeeding can really throw your cycle for a loop on occasion for no reason.

If I were you, and I were getting twitchy as you are, I'd be tempted to book a private scan place to investigate. EPU (again, just from my experience) would probably fob you off if you're not in serious pain (ie, experiencing ectopic pregnancy symptoms).

I’m 19 months into breastfeeding
my period came back at 12 months, it’s been really irregular and of varied flows.
one month it was barely a day of bleeding, and the next was 8 days late.
I think while breastfeeding it is unpredictable.
maybe try using ovulation strips to time conception if you are wanting to get pregnant
