Pregnant or period??? So confused??? **Pictures included - title edited by MNHQ**

I'm super confused! I have done numerous cheap tests and are all negatives but something doesn't sit right with me. Never been so unclear if I am preggo or not 🤔 Some of the symptoms I have been experiencing this cycle is just weird and some I experienced in my 1st pregnancy with my now 2 year old daughter.

We are TTC and I had the egg white discharge at ovulation and then I started getting this strange discharge CD24 - CD29. I have included pics (sorry tmi) of the lead up to my so called "period". My periods for the past 5 months have been clock work and my periods begin the day after CD (cycle day) 30 during the day.

I have had period cramping a week before my periods was due, on and off. Sharp pains left and right some days right some left near ovary area, sore boobs, lower back ache, nausea, sharp pains when cough or sneeze or laugh on certain days...

So I didn't come on all day CD 31 had increased urination and nausea. At 11.42pm I had 2 lil pink dots on tissue when I wiped (attached pics sorry again tmi) which i thought was implantation.. Then by 4am I had brown blood in my pad so assumed period had started. Then when I was at work when I wiped had the bright blood (it looks red in pic but was more like a darl fuchsia pink) never had anything like this. Then 1am that night had brown in pad a smear of pink and when wiping more bright pinky blood.

I don't have any blood in the toilet which is strange for my periods.

All day there is nothing then oh la is some pink. Then nothing then brown in pad and then nothing then wipe hours later and a lil more pink. CD 33 today / period day 2.

Has anyone else experienced this pregnant or not???! It's driving me crazy not knowing 🙄😖🤦🏽‍♀️

The random brown blood today is strange, you’d have expected that yesterday and then what you had yesterday today if it was your period IYSWIM.

I’d wait a couple of days and see if the blood progresses to normal period type bleeding and if not, take another test.

Thanks for ur reply. That's what I thought. I'm changing my pad every time I go loo now so that I can keep an eye on the consistency, colour and amount of blood. Fingers crossed. I'm travelling tomorrow so should keep my mind of it for a while. Will buy the bloody expensive but more accurate clear blue to do the next test if no more period like blood in a few days x

That's what my implantation bleed looked like. I thought it was my period starting but it stopped as quickly as it started. Test again in a day or two with an frer. I finally got my bfp two days after this at 15dpo. Good luck!!

Thank u! That's encouraging! Will defo try again in a couple days x
