Am I overthinking it?

[Laurakate1295]

My boyfriend and I broke up about 5 weeks ago. Things have been pretty hectic and I don't recall having a period since then- although I am forgetful and don't usually pay much attention to it so I could have had one and not registered it really. I have the mirena coil so had no concerns about being pregnant. I'm usually very regular with my periods and I'm now 4 days late. My boobs have been beyond painful for around a week, they feel very sensitive- not uncommon when I'm due on but it's significantly worse than usual. I've been crying on and off for around 2 days for no reason at all which is unlike me. Yesterday I thought my period had started as there was a small amount of blood when I wiped but it was more like a few drops and nothing more since. I took a test today expecting it to be nothing but just to put my mind at ease. I don't know if I'm seeing things but there is a very very faint line which concerned me slightly. Should I be worried?

Get another test and test using your first pee of the day.

Sounds like all of my early symptoms minus the bleeding. Can you attach a pic of the test?

@Everafter1 I've only just joined the site so it won't let me post a picture yet. I'll post one once it allows me.

How do you know you’re 4 days late if you don’t know when your last period was?
A positive test is a positive test OP, test again with a FREE after the weekend and go from there.

The stress of the breakup could be why you're late.

Get some of the first response tests, they're very accurate

Good luck with everything

@ChrisPrattsFace sorry I didn't word that very well. I would usually start my period on the 12th of each month and it's now the 16th but no signs. I don't remember having my period last month- that's not saying I didn't have one, I'm just saying I don't remember if I did or not as I was going through a lot at the time and it's a bit of a blur.

I would test again with a first response, then go from there.
Starting the 12th if each month is still an irregular cycle so it could just be those additional days / stress.
Hope you get the answer you want.

If you've potentially missed 2 periods I would expect a clearer result. Try again in the morning, first urine.

How long have you had the mirena? It can stop periods

@dementedpixie about 2 years, I've always had regular periods on it

It’s probably just your hormones being a bit wonky but I would test again with an FRER using first morning urine in a couple of days just to be sure
