Pregnant or not pregnant, please read!

Duffys_Mommy · Mar 16th, 2012, 01:55 AM

My last period was on the 8th of February, it is now the 16th of March and I still haven't had my period. I always have a 32 day cycle,my husband and I have been TTC for a couple of years now. I've been experiencing light brown spotting since last night; not too much, just when I'm wiping. No cramps or breast tenderness (which I have always had at least a week before my period actually starts). I have been experiencing some lower back pain (which I thought was because of some leg problems I have) and some mild nausea but no symptoms like if I were about to get my period. If I could get any ideas/similar experiences it would help before taking any tests or calling my doctor. Should I just keep waiting for my period or could I finally be pregnant?

Have you tested at all? AF is late and it would seem wise to do a test, if the spotting is AF coming a BFN will save you the worry of wondering whether you're pregnant and sometimes wrong!

Time to do a test x

I tested two days after my period due date (I bought a $1 Dollar General test and used it as soon as I got home at around 4:00 or 5:00PM that day) but it was negative. My temperature has been 98.6 degrees consistently for the last couple of days, I have had no period signs what so ever.

If I were you I'd get another hpt and wait till the next morning to take it, and see what it says. If still neg, then go to the doctor anyway just to see if you're preggo or if something else is wrong as to why you're late.

Not sure buy maybe last cycle was anovulatory and uve not long ovulated and the spotting your experiencing now maybe and implantation bleed. Maybe test again in about 3-4 days and if BFN go to doctors xx

Thanks so much, ladies! I'm planning on making an appointment with my gynecologist Monday (if he can fit me in) and we'll see what he says then. I've been very nervous about making the appointment, my husband and I have been trying for a couple of years and this is the first time my AF has been late. I had been doing Clomid for five months but I stopped it in October or November of last year. Since then I figure when it happens, it happens and I've tried not to worry about it but I'm no officially nervous.

What she said

I bought a $1 test from the Dollar General yesterday (I'm afraid to buy the more expensive ones in case I'm throwing money away for nothing) and didn't go to sleep until around 1:00AM (because I was so nervous). I got up around 4:00AM, went straight to the bathroom and took my test. The control line was very dark pink and the other line was a very faint white or clear colored line. I thought it might be an evaporation line but I don't know. I'm going to buy a more expensive test this evening and try it again if I haven't seen AF on Monday, on Monday she will be 9 days late. I spotted very, very light brown twice (only when I wiped) earlier this week; is it possible that the spotting was from implantation and the tests aren't picking up my hormones? Thanks for all the help, ladies!

Spotting can happen with implantation... But it AF is late and the line is white I'd say it's an evap. Evaps are grey/colourless barely there lines.

The stress of thinking too hard about this may be delaying AF.
