good evening,

I wanted to get opinions. I am currently 24 days late on my period. I have had a wide variety of pregnancy symptoms such as tiredness, on and off nausea, lost of appetite and on and off of new cravings. I have also experienced on and off spotting; when I wipe it is either light pink, red with small amounts of dark blood, or brown. I don’t consider it as my period because my period is usually very consistent and heavy. I have had 2 days between the on and off bleeding where it seemed more heavy than light but again nothing consistent.
I went to my GYN doctor on Friday for a regular ultrasound and a transvaginal ultrasound where the doctor states there’s no sign of babies and the doctor will call me on 2/21 to talk about the ultrasound results.

im confused and don’t know what is happening. Any ideas what this may be?? I have also attached a picture of my latest bleed. (Keep in mind these bleeding do not fill my pad, it usually fills maybe a corner of the pad and than doesn’t happen again for the entire day)

This sounds stressful for you @almaam
Sadly it’s hard for anyone on the internet to be able to say. Did you have any positive pregnancy tests before?

If your GYN says there’s no baby, did she talk about pregnancy of an unknown location?
Have you been unwell or stressed that could be impacting your period?

Very stressful.
I haven't tooken any tests since this has been happening.

Unfortunately my GYN doctor did not mention to me of any unknown pregnancy locations. She solely indicated no baby was found and that I have a call with them on Wednesday of this week.

I think I've been stressed due to trying to find out what's wrong with me but apart from that I do not think there's any other reasons for me to be stressed.

As of today, I bleed again on my pad but nothing that fills it up as my period would do. I wipe and also there's blood but again nothing seems consist.

Have you had a positive pregnancy test? Or have you not tested at all?

IWillBeWaxingAnOwl · 19/02/2024 21:34

I would test as if it's positive, there is a risk of ectopic pregnancy and needs sooner addressing.

However, this might just be random daft breakthrough or weird period bleeding, not necessarily any sort of pregnancy loss or atypicality

I’d still take a pregnancy test just to check if it comes up as positive. Did they do any blood tests?

Would it be too soon to take a test? they did bloodwork on me February the doctors also never gave me any results back about the bloodwork I did.

This is a confusing thread. If you haven't done a pregnancy test then surely this is just your period? It may be that this is more like breakthrough bleeding as in, a cycle in which you didn't ovulate. If you think you could be pregnant and miscarrying then thats a totally different situation!

IWillBeWaxingAnOwl · 21/02/2024 21:34

This is all a bit confusing. You can test for pregnancy from the date of your missed period or 2 weeks after you had unprotected sex. People are urging you to test as typically in miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, HCG tests will be positive.

As others have said, this could just be a late weird period, particularly if you have had a cycle without ovulating (happens every so often, not a concern unless it happens a lot)
