I am four days late for my period, and today on the fourth day I have a light brown discharge when I use the bathroom and I wipe. My periods are always right on time, I have had no blood. Me and my husband are trying to have a baby, and we do not use protection of any kind. I am 24, I took a home pregnancy test and it was negative. I have been really tired lately, light cramping, and my lower back is killing me, and my smell senses are very highten. Could I be pregnant?
To me it sounds as tho you are gearing up for your period. The light discharge could be telling you that you will start very soon. The cramping doesnt ususally take place so early in pregnancy. pretty sure that the cramping doesnt start until a little farther into the pregnancy, with the growth of the uterus. (atleast the cramping has never started that early in any of my pregnancies. same for the backaches.) If it is four days after your missed period, and the test is still negative, I dont think that you are preggy this month.If your period doesnt start within the next few days, you might consider a pregnancy blood test, and or a visit with your doctor. Wanting a baby so badly, we women can often trick our minds into thinking " this must be it! I have all the symptoms, and my period is late" but really we are causing the symptoms with wishful thinking, and delaying our period with the stress of it. the mind is a very powerful thing, when you want something so badly. Possibly this isnt the case, for you. Here is some advice. If you arent pregnant this month, take a deep breath, sit back and relax, and decide that when it happens, it happens. Wanting a baby so badly, and getting your hopes up and stressing over it every month, it can be so harmful not only physically from the stress, but emotionally, as we set ourselves up for heartache if it didnt happen this month. And it can put a strain on your relationship with hubby. Sex becomes a duty and a project. And when it doesnt happen, it feels like a disappointment, feels like you must be doing something wrong. It loses all of the beauty and awesome appeal, and instead of bring you and hubby closer, it can actually form a quickly widening gap. I understand how you feel. I set myself up for heartache over nad over every month for atleast 8 months. I bought an endless amount of pregnancy tests, and was heartbroken when they came up negative. when I finally decided that it would happen when the time was right, and not a moment before, and I would just enjoy the ride, that is when I got pregnant. it took us a year. so dont get discouraged. Maybe this is your month. but if it isnt, just think of it as a to be continued. best of wishes, and let me know what happens.
to me it sounds like u could be pregnant just because your pregnancy test is negative it doesnt mean that u arent with me 1st pregnancy i took 5 test b4 it came up positive and with my 2nd pregnancy i knew i was pregnant but the tests were coming up negative untill i was 6 weeks pregnant, the best thing to do is to wait a week and then test again, and the blood that u are experiencing could be your baby implating in your womb, good luck ill keep my fingers crossed for u x
Some women can have what is called early pregnancy bleeding, but any woman who thinks she may be pregnant and is bleeding, should ask the doctor to take a prgnancy blood test to check as she should be recieveing prenatal care if she is. But is is not a common occurance.
Im having the same situation. I am late and i bled for two days.. but lightly. my period is never light, or short. I am having all the symptoms, but the tests are negative. I'm not sure what to think. the last time i had my period was sept. 10, the 2 day bleeding started october 18, it is now november.
I got my last perior on October the 24th. I had 3 negative HPT and one negative blood test, my doctor recommended to wait another 3 weeks and redo the blood test. I want to be pregnant but I'm afraid is not happening. I know I ovulated because I tested but keep getting negative pregnancy test. Any input...
hi Mom1228,
you will never get a +ve preg test right now.since your last period was on Oct24th then you need to wait until 17th atleast to take a first HPT test, but i would strongly suggest you to take the test the very next day of your missed period.
i was in the same boat like you before,and i wasted so many HPT's with so many negatives,yesterday i just missed my period , i took the test it was still negative, i will try after 4 days again.(i am really impatient, and eager to know the result as i need to plan so many things )
all the best to all these yet to be moms),
keep me in your prayers
