No period or pregnancy symptoms :/??

[16MrsE]

Since coming off the pill I have had my period bang on time, arriving always on the 3Rd or 4th of each month. Therefore I was expecting my period to come today or yesterday (sat/sun).. Instead since Friday j have had odd bit of brown discharge which I've only noticed from wiping or once using a tampon for a few hours.. I've since been wearing a panty liner and had nothing show up.

I didn't expect to be considering pregnancy this month as I'm the pervious weeks we have been on holiday and avoiding pregnancy via the "pull out" technique. We were told by our nurse before going on holiday to avoid pregnancy until we returned and had a test for the Zika virus.

We hadn't had sex since coming home two weeks ago but haven't had the money to have the test for Zika yet.

Any thoughts on whether this sounds like pregnancy? I haven't really had any other symptoms x

Thanks x

I guess your right about that. You always think it's easy to get pregnant until you try it for yourself and then you realise there's people who have dealt with this monthly torture for years and years before getting their miracle babies x

Fingers crossed for you hun let me know how things progress x any tips on getting pregnant for this month. Would love it to happen this month it would be due for March which is our wedding anniversary xx

Thanks will do.

The only thing we've done both times is not track properly! I know the length of my cycle and I look for ewcm to indicate ovulation but we dtd every other day for the whole month regardless. It may sound like a chore but it never is. I guess it could become one though so that'd be the only thing! But yeah, that's all we did - every other day, entire month long!

Wow.. My Hubbie would not be down for that lol he's so lazy lol plus I work nights so its hard to get time in lol xx

My period is definitely not as usual 4 and half days brown discharge and now a less heavy, no clots, bright red bleed with none of my painful cramps and this afternoon ive felt too nauseous to eat :/ x

Some people experience bleeding during implantation. If this is the case, it would've been too early to pick up pregnancy on a test when you did one. I would give it a week after your "af" ends and then test again just to rule it out

Today will be day 7 since the brown discharge started. Period was due from day 2. I called doctors this morning. He wasn't really helpful said it would be pregnancy or just an off period :/ got an apt at 4.10 today. Hoping for good news or get least a test for a week away so levels have gone up enough if I am pregnant x

Seven days of brown discharge doesn't sound right for implantation bleeding. Have you done another test?

4 and half days of brown discharge and then last two days it's turned red with no clots and just now was brown but ita just when I wipe not needing tampons or pads and not getting the usual bad cramps x
Doctor was useless. Didn't offer me a pregnancy test. Just said come back if I do end up with a positive test or if I get some next month said I'm over exaggerating :(

I don't think doctors keep pregnancy tests so you will need to buy one to test with. They are cheap and you can get them in bulk online if you prefer.

Having been pregnant on four occasions, I've never experienced what you have with a pregnancy, so can understand why your doctor doesn't think you are pregnant.

@16MrsE I literally could have written your entire post!

Exactly the same! I'm frustrated to hell. PG this am negative. Due Aunt Flo Saturday..... unless this last week has been Aunt Flo but mega mega light! 😫😂

What's your plan now?

Vocal cat - that's disappointing to hear, what did your experience with yours?

Emhw123 - I was due Saturday 3Rd but on 2nd Friday - Tues had brown discharge when wiped then last two days it's been fresh blood but only when I wipe and its going brown again now. No pains, not heavy and no clots. I've been feeling a little sick since last night too and lost my appetite What about you?
I don't know whether to test in the morning or to try wait it out as ive read lots of women say they had same plus negative tests until a week or two later :/ x

Hmmmm I think I may test again on Monday just to be sure.

It's really strange. My "period"'started with brown spotting last Thursday and hasn't really gone above that, 1hr of a little bleeding but nothing else since. Only used 1 tampon the whole time! Nothing in my knickers only when i wipe.... the joys of being a woman! Guess work all frigging month! 😫

So similar.. Have you spoken to a doctor too?? Have you still got the brown discharge now? Xx

No not bothered going.... the only thing that's been weird is the occasional boob twinge which I never get and also feeling like ovulation pain rather than cramps. Headaches and a bit tired too. I'm still thinking I'm having a bizarre period rather than anything else.

All will become clear! It's just annoying as fu@k

Really hope we both have a miracle happen and it turns out were pregnant hun
...I'm sooo fed up of not knowing what the reason is behind this happening this month. And also getting my hopes up each month to just be left disappointed :'( x

How long have you been trying? It's a bit soul destroying! I've just had preseed, cb ovulation tests, supplements for oh and bang aspirin for me. I'd be cheaper with a baby! 😂😫😂

Pressed? Cb ovulation? Sorry not getting what you mean :/ xx

Weve been trying for 6-7 months. You? X

Preseed is a lube which helps the sperm and clear blue digital ovulation kit :)

Been properly trying for 6 months, a lifetime when you decide you want a baby xo

Oh not heard of that. I had been usually home ovulation strip test but didn't use them last month because I was on holiday x

Tell me about it and literally everyone we know is pregnant xx

Oh don't I've had 3 announcements in the space of 3 weeks 😫

It's horrible isn't it. I honestly didn't know it would be so hard and then you see people who "accidently" got pregnant when they wasn't planning to :( x

Our time will come my lovely, nothing surer than that. We get to wait and some much longer but we will get there. xx

I'm giving up hope tbh.. I dont know how some can go years like this. At least on the pill or whatever you know there's no chance etc you know where u stand at least x think its hard too with my twin brother expecting and seeing my mum all happy to have about grandchild on way but I can't give same happiness :/ x

Weird they didn't do a test. They definitely do keep pregnancy tests because 2 doctors at different surgeries have given me tests before.

I really hope you both get answers soon!

I thought she would have offered a test or a blood test but she said no and said I had to go do my own. She wasn't very interested. I've had pregnancy tests done before there when they thought I might have been so I know they have them x
