Hi can anyone help?
My period was due on the 14th of April and I am now 16 days late. I have never been this late before. I have PCOS so i expect to be late now and agin. But my periods have been quite regular for the past year.
I have been having light brown discharge when I whipe (sorry about being graphic) on and off for the past 3 days. Along with that came cramps but really light ones so i assumed it was my period coming even though its so diffrent to what i normally expirence. Could it be implementation bleeding?
I have done 3 PT all came ouy negative, over the past 16 days.
I have a doctors appointment on the 9th of may. Waiting for a awnser about what's going on with my body is really stressing me out.
Due to the PCOS I never thought I would be able to conceive so I doubt it would end up being pregnancy.

Hope someone has any awnser or suggestions. Smile

Sorry I don't know. Although, when I fell pregnant with my daughter I did have some bleeding accompanied with light cramps around the time my period was due, it was brown & I bleed for one day..a couple of weeks later I found out I was pregnant. I hope you find out what's going on & get the answer you are looking for OP. Flowers

You could to ask them to take your bloods twice so they can see if pregnancy hormones are increasing. Could be a false negative (hooray!) or could be ectopic or very very early miscarriage.

Twinges, aches, brown spotting were all liked to me being pregnant (4 times)

Thanks...I will ask about getting my blood taken twice, just to be sure.
I have had sore boobs since missing my period plus I have been more tired than usual and hungry (I don't even know if that's a thing, could just be me haha)
Buy I really hope I am pregnat. Rather than it being a cyst or cervical cancer. Anything awful of that nature (I have been clearly reading things online)
Hearing you have ended up pregnant gives me hope...I have read implantation bleeding is impossible after missed period buy some have said different.

Update: no brown discharge today as of yet it's only happened 2-3 days...
Normal or not if it was implementation??

I had sore boobs aswell, I just thought it was my period. But nope, I was pregnant & don't read things online, I drove myself crazy doing that during & before my pregnancy. Oh yeah & i was insanely tired and hungry like never before, although I am like that on my period aswell. If it isn't normal for you go to a gp.

Hi guys I couldn't wait so I did another pregnacy test and it came up negative straight away. Does this mean I'm definitely not pregnant?

Have you used first morning wee after an evening of drinking little?

Put it to one side and look at it in a few hours.

J247 · 01/05/2017 21:58

Yeah I took it when I did my first mornings pee..it's still negative. It's all I can think about. I'm worried that my doctors appointment on the 9th is not going to give me clarity either. I have read women can also get a negative at the doc and they turn out pregnat weeks later or a negative blood test and even then I have to wait for results to come back.

What ended up happening?

Rinn26 · 25/04/2020 10:10

Did you ever find out what it was because I'm 10 days late on my period and also having the brown spotting. I took a pt and it came up negative. I've been feeling sick for the last 4 days or so but I don't have any of my usual period symptoms like my boobs aren't sore, I had a few light cramps earlier in the week but nothing more than that. Please let me know if you found out what yours was so I can stop panicking.

Hi Rinn26 - so glad I came across your comment! What happened?! I’m currently 10 days late, light brown when wiping which only started today and have had very faint positives but only after the official test time arghhhh - so confused!!

Lilelfy28 · 18/06/2020 17:28

I'm 17 days late today and had a little bit of brown when wiped and cramping all week I don't know what to do

Rinn26 · 18/06/2020 18:10

For mine it turned out that I was late due to stress and other factors and by the time my period actually happened it was black for a few days before it turned red
