Pregnancy or miscarriage?

Okay a week before these events me and my partner settled on wanting to conceive despite maybe not being able to due to his low testosterone levels and I had internal health issues in primary school, but on the 28th something weird happened.

I’ll start off by saying my periods have been on time every month since I came off my pill at 16, haven’t missed a day and they always start of heavy and get lighter (and eventually brown) and last 5-6 days. But over a week ago on the 28th of September I took my period and it was brown? But when I wiped it was pink. I sent my partners sister a text and asked for a pregnancy test cos I wasn’t sure what was going on. I told her exactly what was happening and she said right away it was a miscarriage. (Btw my periods come around the 23-25th of each month) I took the pregnancy test - a cheap one from the chemist and it was negative. The period was brown on a pad for the remaining 3 days and when I wiped it was pinky-orange spotting then completely vanished.

I am a smoker (sorry) and lately when I smoke it have to put it down cos it makes me ill. Also I can ‘smell’ myself down there stronger, I know it’s not an infection cos it smells the same as normal just more pungent. I also had a drink on the 29th at a wedding and threw it up, and yes I can hold my drink lol but I literally had 2 mouthfuls and within 15 minutes felt insanely sick.

Anyone know if this is pregnancy or potentially something worse?

Have you taken a test?

I don't have any experience of miscarriage however from what I've read / seen on here it sounds like people generally know it's one. (Don't want to go into too much detail as don't want to upset anyone) xx

Personally, I'd say it was just a weird period, it can happen, and Sod's law, you can guarantee AF starts to mess around as soon as you want to TTC.

If you had been pregnant, enough to still be having what you think are symptoms, and it was a miscarriage, then the test you did would have been positive.

(Sorry, realise you did do a test)
