Are my weird symptoms, symptoms?

Hi all,

I'm new to Mumsnet and just wanted to share a few weird symptoms I'm having to see if you think they could point to either pregnancy or potentially something a bit more gloomy like PCOS!

I'm 27 and recently married, we aren't currently trying to conceive but it's not far off and so I'm pretty in tune with my cycle. I have a generally 33 day-ish cycle, but every now and again it decides to go off and be sometimes in excess of 45 days.

This cycle I noticed that about a week after I would have ovulated, provided it wasn't a dud cycle, I had some dark brown spotting that continued to be there when I wiped for about 2 days which has never happened before.

This was weird so I've been keeping a closer eye and for the last 7 days (CD 26-33) I've had quite a lot of ewcm. This is also weird as it's normally pretty dry around the time AF is due. Today at work I've been having some aches that I would normally associate with AF arriving, usually after feeling these aches my period arrives within the hour but after getting to a bathroom it's just a great lot of ewcm again!

There's nothing else that would point to pregnancy, my boobs aren't sore, I don't feel sick. I'm tired but I haven't been sleeping well.

I haven't taken a test yet as I am only due AF today and don't want to surprise DH over nothing. I was just wondering if anyone had experienced anything similar and what it turned out to be, if anything!

Thanks! Grin

If you think your pregnant, then take a pregnancy test. Mumsnet can’t answer that for you.

Increased cm and spotting (possibly implantation) are both signs you could be pregnant....definitely take a test!

Yeah I've ordered one, thank you! I just know this could also be an annovulatory so I was wondering if there was anyone out there who could say, "This happens to me!" iykwim! Thank you for taking the time to read all that! X

@Babybell29 Perfectly reasonable to ask questions - especially when you're waiting for a test to come. They sound like they could be promising symptoms. Fingers crossed you get a BFP when the test comes

It's so hard isn't it when any symptoms you get could be down to nothing or pms! Hopefully only one more day of musing before my test arrives! X

@Babybell29 how you getting on today? Did your test come?

Babybell29 · 28/11/2019 16:53

Just got home and it's here, not sure whether to do it now or wait until morning?
