Pregnancy symptoms but now spotting. Feeling anxious and confused.

[dancinghen]

Hello,

This is my first post and I could really do with any advice or views.

For the past week I have been having pregnancy symptoms; my boobs are hurting, my nipples are extremely sensitive and I have been feeling a bit dizzy/ nauseous. I originally tried to dismiss these symptoms as my DH and I aren’t yet TTC. But we were away whilst I was ovulating and did have unprotected sex. Didn’t think much of it as this was the first time without contraception.

As the week has gone I have felt more and more sure that I might be pregnant. I just feel different and have never been so aware of my boobs! This is definitely not a PMT symptom for me.

I did a test earlier in the week which was BFN. I tested again the day before my period was due which was BFN. My period was due yesterday and I was sure it wasn’t coming as I didn’t have any of the normal cramping which I usually get, but I then went to the toilet and there was some watery pink blood on the tissue. This isn’t normal for me for a a period as it usually is thick and brown at the start. There has been no blood since so my period hasn’t yet come.

I’m wondering whether this is my period and it’s just being slow to come this month, or whether there is some other reason for spotting? I think (not sure) I’m about 14dpo so thought a BFP should have shown up by now if it was going to? Has anyone had spotting and then got a BFP a lot later than expected?

Thanks I’m advance!

Honestly in the absence of a positive, it's probably just a variation on the normal start to your period.

Hmm maybe but this would be extremely unusual for me and has never happened before. It’s now been 36 hours since that initial spot and there’s been nothing since. Usually when it comes, it comes in full force!

I did a HPT again this morning but still BFN. I don’t know whether there is a chance that I ovulated late or whether I just have to sit it out and wait for AF to appear.

Hi Op, spotting could've been implantation bleeding? It can happen as late as 14 dpo if it was then a positive wouldn't show until 2-3 days after so perhaps test again in a couple of days?

Don't want to get your hopes up, but this happened to me and I was pregnant. My tests were negative until 18/19dpo. HOWEVER, I think I may have got my ovulation date wrong, which is always possible for you too?

Some women don't have enough hcg in their urine to show up on a test for a while.

Thanks all. I guess I’ll have to wait and see if AF turns up and if not I’ll test again at the end of the week.

My Af turned up 😔 just really late. I have no idea what is going on with my body as I have never had spotting for this long before. Nearly 5 days of it before any actual blood showed. I’m now starting to question myself and whether the symptoms were psychological as I’ve never had such sore boobs before!
Never mind. At least it’s made my dh and I sure that this is something that we want and we can get on with trying.

Aww sorry dancinghen. Good luck for your future TTC journey.

Thank you!
