Period question

57 replies

nutcracker · 26/03/2004 14:21

O.k, i cannot remember when my last period was but i'm sure i am due about now, as i have been getting cramps and headaches which is usually a sure sign. However my period hasn't arrived. All i have had is a very small amount of pale red/pinky blood, which has now dissapeared and nothing since. I still have back ache but nothing to go with it.

I'm confused, this has never happened before.

Any ideas ??
The only thing i could think of was that it's stress related.

NO i don't think so any way. Would be highly unlikely.

No i couldn't be, could I. No no no no.

Obviously would help if i could remember when my last period was, but i can't. God i used to be so organised about these things.

Nutty, I can never remember when mine have been either but what I do is think of memorable dates, ie Valentines/birthdays and think was my last one before or after that date. Would that system jog your memory?

Very luckily for me mine started on Mothers day so I won't be forgetting that.

Hope this helps.

Well i know that my last one was before i went on my night out with my friend, which was the 5/6th march. It was def before then, but how long before i just can't remember.
I do vaguley remember complaining to someone on here that i had backache but short of going through every single thread, i can't find out.

Do a search of just your name from the start of Jan or feb........it should be in there if you're sure you'r not PG

fio2 · 26/03/2004 14:39

Well i've just done a search and the date i told someone i had backache was Feb 14th. I don't remember coming on on valentines day though, surely i would of remembered that. God if it's right, that means my period was due about 10 days ago
No it can't be right. Maybe i had backache for another reason, can't think of one though.

God i wish i could remember, this is driving me mad.

OP posts:
emmatmg · 26/03/2004 16:24

maybe it was some time between then and your night out, so it's possibly you're not late.

to be honest i'd be tempted to do a test, just to put my mind at rest.

Ooooh no i can't.
If it hasn't turned up by wednesday i'll test then.
God, sex once in 10mths and now look.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I suspect you have alot of mixed feelings about another baby at the mo.

emmatmg · 26/03/2004 16:51

It's driving me round the bend now.
I am trying sooo hard to remember when i had my last period i've given myself a headache.
Have even managed to convince myself that i feel sick, how stupid is that.
I'm also trying very hard to forget that my doc told me he reckoned i must be very fertile from Feb - March as all three of my kids were concieved then despite trying at other times.

Someone please tell me i'm being stupid and i can't possibly be pregnant.

i'm sure you're not pregnant .

Lisa78 · 26/03/2004 21:42

bloody hell Nutty - do a test and set all our minds at rest. Am sure its not that, I get the odd non-period, probably a hormone blip
do the test girl, then get yourself into the bar

emmatmg · 26/03/2004 21:42

Me again....not stalking honest.

I'm probably going to make you feel 1000000000 times worse but the pale red/pink thing you had made me think PG more than any other thing.

Sorry, fingers still crossed for you.

I last had sex on 5th march (first time in 10ish mths).

I can't get a test tommorow as dd will be with me and i don't want dp to know if he doesn't need to.

emmatmg - Thats why i'm concerned, ive never had faint pinky red bleeding and then nothing before.

OP posts:
emmatmg · 26/03/2004 21:50

Would she really know what you were buying? Could you get 5-10 minutes alone to get one and test?

nutcracker · 26/03/2004 21:51

I suppose i could distract her with something.

How could i be sooo stupid
