I had my last period some time in July and mid August random discharge of bright red blood. We’ve been using contraception dtd... for approx 2weeks I’ve had a weird sensation in both breasts (abit more in my left), today randomly saw a slight bit of discharge on one of my nipples, so squeezed the other breast and got some out of there.
I have pcos so missed periods is very common for me. Already have 2 dc (youngest is 2) not sure how I feel if I’m pregnant again.... I know there’s people out there who can’t for many reasons and I should appreciate it but I’m already loaded with so much stress not sure I can handle another... signs of seem like the signs of pregnancy but I’m now scared to do the test

@Mumofoneandanotherontheway the only way you are going to know is to do a test. You are worrying about something that may not even be happening. Please get yourself a test lovely and if you are then you can face that then xx

@Mumofoneandanotherontheway if you can, pop along to see your GP and have a chat. They can do a test for you and chat to you about your options, especially if you're unsure about dates etc. Might put your mind at ease knowing you have the support there and perhaps a referral to the EPU to figure out how far along you might be if the test is positive.

I'd definitely mention the nipple discharge, it could be the sign of something underlying if it appeared without you squeezing. Probably nothing to worry about, but get it checked out just to put your mind at ease.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling great about the prospects of potentially being pregnant, but please don't feel you have to compare yourself to others. Yes, some struggle and it's hard... but you mustn't let that affect you. Do whatever is right for you xx

Jazzi I went & got myself a test and it’s positive. Had to get my Dh to check the test and I don’t know how we both feel about it... the nipple discharge has happened with both my other pregnancies too.
Will book an appointment with the gp x

@Mumofoneandanotherontheway it's ok to not know how you feel, it's a very life changing thing especially if you were using contraception to prevent pregnancy. Talk it through with DH and GP. There's no right or wrong, be kind to yourself x

@Mumofoneandanotherontheway I completely echo what @MrsMarrio wrote.

Take all the time you need to feel your feelings, get over the shock, and decide on whatever is right for you and your family. Sounds like your husband is supportive and on the same page. Whatever you decide, it's ok and absolutely the right thing - either way. Go well x

Thank you MrsMario & Jazzibelle
I think your right we need to sit & talk this through as it’s life changing. Same time I feel so bad to be feeling like this, I should be over the moon especially when I was told 9yrs ago having children for me would be very challenging. However I have 2 now and we’re happy for now, we spoke about this a few months ago saying we would like to try for 1 last one in 3/4 years. Now this has happened I don’t know what way to go. Completely clueless the pair of us. Will make an appointment with my gp on Monday and discuss my concerns & worries xx
