Hi guys...I’m new to this but really need some advice.
I had been on the combined pill for 9+ years and in February decided to come off of it.
My last “proper” period was 17th April. My husband and I had sex on 28th April, two days before my ovulation day.
For two weeks after this, I felt so different. My energy levels dropped massively, I had an increased appetite, back pain and extremely sore boobs!
I was due on my period around 15th May. On 14th May, I started to bleed. Initially it was very light pink and then developed into a red/brown colour. It only lasted 48 hours which is unusual for me because my period usually lasts 4-5 days.
Since my bleeding stopped, i have been getting cramps in my lower stomach area and feel quite nauseous in the mornings. I feel “heavier” (if this makes sense?!) and I also have an increase in discharge. I did a cervix check and it seems very soft and high.
I did a pregnancy test today (20th May) and it came back negative (it wasn’t first thing in the morning urine and was later on in the morning). I decided to go to my GP today and they have asked me to provide a urine sample which they will send off.
I have done sooo much reading on this and I am confused! Am I just overthinking my pregnancy symptoms or simply just testing too early?
(Promise to update this thread once I know the outcome!!)
