Early pregnancy symptoms or mini pill?

mummyoftw0 · Mar 30th, 2012, 18:35 PM

Hi all! I finally created an account because I am just THAT confused! I have been breastfeeding for the last 8 months and was put on the mini pill since my boyfriend and I are sexually active. I began going back to school, and started bottle feeding my daughter 3 months ago since I cannot pump enough to satisfy her. She has since weaned herself (except at night). I did have my first period since I became pregnant with her in February, and then two weeks after I had finished, I had 4 days of very light, brown to dark red bleeding. I assumed this was spotting since I am on the mini pill and the amount of breastfeeding has drastically decreased. I usually have a very heavy period, but the "spotting" was hardly enough for a panty liner. Since then, I have been doing the "what if I am pregnant?!" game. I feel like my breasts are not as a droopy as they were becoming since weaning began. I am also slightly irritable. I should have started my period 5 days ago based upon my previous period lengths and the sugar pills in my birth control packet. I took 2 home pregnancy tests at 1 day late, and both were negative. However, I just went to the bathroom and noticed a clear, stretchy discharge when I wiped, and it was brown tinged. I can't say I have ever experienced any of this before- please help if you have any clue what is going on or if you have ever experienced this before and found you were pregnant (or not)!

Thank you so much for your time! I promise to post what the outcome is when I know myself! Good luck to everyone on here!

I had IB with my first IUI (bfn) and both my chemicals, having it right now too! But never when AF was late. GL with whatever you want!

Well, I kinda have an update, but no answer ... I now am experiencing a metallic taste in my mouth at a week late for AF, I'm bloated and have cramping in my lower back ... but still getting negative tests

... I'll keep you up to date when I know more! I saw a clinic that does free testing and ultrasounds, so I am going to call them in the morning and see what they suggest!
