Ive been off the pill since beginning of July.
Had withdrawal bleed, and haven't properly tracked since then other than noting symptoms etc.
Now at beginning of October, and I realise that since 10th July I haven't actually had what I would class as a proper period.
1st off I decide to book a docs appointment as I am starting to worry something is wrong. Next available docs appointment not for 3 weeks.
Then I start to look back over my symptoms...
It looks to me like I possibly ovulated mid August, then 9 days later I had 1 and a half days of extremly light bleeding which I put down to AF turning up and counted it as CD1.
That was 26th August.
Its now 5 and a half weeks after that and no sign of AF which I was expecting to have turned up early this week at the latest.
I have had all sorts of mild cramps really low down on my right hand side which I put down to sign of AF just round the corner, but this has been on and off for 2 weeks now. I am also so exhausted Im falling asleep on sofa or taking myself off to bed at 9:30 each night where I am usually an 11pm kind of person.
The past 4 days ive noticed I am waking up very early before alarm with a need to use the toilet. I assumed I had a UTI so have been trying to flush it out with cranberry.
Last night my back started aching last night as soon as I got home from work. Centralised on my mid right hand side. So bad that I slept on a hot water bottle all night.
I am putting it down to maybe having sat funny at work yesterday.
I've also cried a lot at work in the mornings, to the point colleagues are starting to wonder whats wrong with me. Ive been putting it down to annoying customers getting to me, and thinking it must be PMS.
So I am now starting to put 2 and 2 together and wonder if whether I need to test. Last time I took a test was towards end of August just before I had my 1.5 days of bleeding, and it was obviously negative and with the bleeding I assumed it was AF anyway so hadn't thought any more about it.
Am I just reading into things or does this look like I should be testing?
I have one HPT at home. Do I test as soon as I get home or should I wait until tomorrow morning as I hear you need to test in the morning?
Thanks for reading !
