hi i am new here so im sorry if this is in the wrong place im still trying to figure the webpage out, right i will try get to the point! me and my partner were using condoms but lately ended up using the "pull out" method i havent been keeping track of my periods as they are always starting at different times but they always last at least 5 days, anyway i was really convinced i was pregnant last week as i was still waiting for my period (i know roughly when to expect it) and i just felt strange its hard to explain i was getting really bad period cramps but no period wich is unusual as i always get my period the day i cramp but this time it took nearly 3 days to bleed after cramping it started off really light so i thought it was "spotting" but it gradually got heavier. i bled for 2 days only and thats never happened to me before so i took a test wich came up neg, but i dont know if i am over thinking it and making myslef believe i am, it would not be the end of the world if i am as we want 1 more we just didnt want it to be just yet so either way it doesnt matter i just wanted to know if anybody has experienced any of this and its been nothing, i will just go through any other symptoms ive had a strange rash all up the bottom of my arms ive never had before it was bright red/sore to the touch and red hot and has left that skin like scaly/and dry i have no idea if it could be linked or not ! ive had pains in my boobs but not my nipples wich ive read happens alot . i have also suddenly come down with a nasty cold/ runny nose, sore throat/ headaches. and tiredness i also had really bad lower back pain last week, i will retest in a few days i just dont like the cheap strip ones and dont want to waste money on the expensive ones and it takes about 2 weeks to get an appointment at my doctors. sorry for the LONG post i just wanted to give all the facts before i get anyones opinion sorry again if i have done this wrong! any help or advice would be appreciated ! xx
