Am I pregnant?

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting on here, I hope you can help.

My boyfriend & I started trying for a baby this month. My parents are incredibly fertile but I didn’t expect anything to happen so quickly!

My cycle is fairly short at usually 25 or 26 days & my period was due on Thursday/Friday last week. It’s very regular usually, I’ve not taken the pill for several years so I’m settled in my cycle & I often have a couple of days on & off bleeding/spotting beforehand which I don’t count in my cycle length.

It’s Monday now & my period hasn’t come. I’ve had some brown coloured discharge & slight spotting over the last 2 days but no period. I’ve done 2 early Clear Blue tests on Sat & Sun morning but got negative results. I’ve resisted doing one this morning but have one lined up for tomorrow.

Has anyone had a similar experience? My periods are usually so regular it’s come as a surprise. I know a lot will hinge on the test tomorrow morning (I’m guessing it’s worth waiting until my first wee of the day). I feel like I’m in total limbo land & days feel like years. The only change this month has been taking pre-pregnancy vitamins. If anyone’s had a similar experience or any words of wisdom I’d really appreciate it! Smile

The only way to know is to do another test in a few days with your first morning urine . Good luck x

Thank you so much both of you for your replies to my post, I really appreciate it. I did a test again this morning but got another negative result.
I’m leaning more towards thinking I might be having a very light period.. it’s like the first couple of days I usually have where there’s a little bit on & off, but it’s just not materialising into anything like a normal period. I definitely feel peridot, like that kind of dragging feeling that can sometimes happen.
Perhaps the delay is just down to the hope of potentially conceiving! X
