This is sort of what my dr told me, I already knew this information, but with my daughter I got a bfp at 15dpo. With my miscarrage I didn't test till I was a couple weeks late as I was so busy moving into our new house and a new job I forgot and just thought yay right like I'd get pregnant the first time trying, well I did! But I did loose that baby.

I posted already with this:

I am a week or less (anywhere from 5-7 days late) late for af. I had brown spotting on Friday and a bit Saturday with some dark red but not af just when I'd pee nothing on a pad. And very minor again on Sunday. In total it would maybe fill 1 regular tampon by my guess. My af is normally 2-3 days with regular flow using about 5 tampons a day and they'd be full.

I've tested many times with bfn every time. So confused! I've only been late when pg I am a regular cycle girl and have 26-28 (max) cycles depending if I O on cd12 or 14 (normally 12 so 26 day cycles).

I went to the dr yesterday and he said to wait another week. If no af (he doesn't think that spotting was it just either trying to come or implantation) they will do another test via pee and if that is negative they will give me blood test for hcg levels! So looks like I'll know in a week or less! He said if I'm not pg it could be the stress of trying to conceive causing it to not come on or stress in general. I said I've had more stress than this cycle (dd was sick dh in school work etc.) as I've been pretty relaxed this cycle compared to most. But we'll see. He also said if I'm not pg he's going to rever me to a specialist and they may do some rounds of clomid and monitoring (u/s on ovaries and such) so I'm pretty happy about the apt regardless of being pg or not!

Has anyone ever had this happen late spotting and bfn?

I am interested to know if anyone is having really long cycles after coming off the pill. I should have gotten my period on July 4th ( or around there) but instead got LIGHT SPOTTING... I didn't even need a pad. It went away and still not a real period. I have tested 3 times and still negative. Was that my period? I called the doc and once I get my period they are going to test my hormone levels of day 28 of my next cycle to make sure I am ovulating. Anyone else suffer from anything like this?

I had something similar. My last period was on 11th of July, had an intercourse on 24th of July, on 7th of August got a bleeding (colour almost as normal just less - all together maybe 2 pads) but 3-4 days earlier than expected (7th of August) and lasted for 1,5 days, third day nothing at all and fourth one brownish spot. Usually my period lasts 5-6 days. Could this be an implantation bleeding? I got this bleeding exactly 14 days after the intercourse, took 2 tests: one on 9th and the other on 11th. Do you think it was too early to do them? Feeling different, little cramps, but more like continuous pain. When is the best time to do blood test? BIG THANKS to everyone that can help...

My first cycle after coming off the pill was a week longer than usual. My cousin was the same way. Also, my period was very light. I thought I may have been pregnant but wasn't. The next month however, I took a pregnancy test a few days before my period and was pregnant. I really didn't think I was (although my husband and I were trying) because I had cramping like my period was coming. I am now two months pregnant. Cramping still occurs, but very mild (this is normal). The month I found out I was pregnant I did have a little spot. I hope this info is of some help.

If you think you're pregnant I recommend just taking a ept test and if it says negative and you're still unsure go to your gyn and you will know for sure. I waited till I had two missed periods before I went. Good luck to all who want to be pregnant and chin up to those who don't want to be but find out they are! Take care all.

I have never been on the pill, never been pregnant and have very regular (25 days) periods. I'm 34 and just started trying last month around my ovulation time. I'm expecting my period to come, but instead had this dark brown pinkish stuff for a few days. I've NEVER missed a period, but took a hpt this morning (3 days past my expected period) and it was negative. So, I'm just going to wait and take it again in about a week I guess. I have all the normal period signs, but have really broken out, have to pee all the time and am really out of breath when walking up the stairs.. I usually work out a lot too, but have found my regular weights and aerobics really, really hard! Plus, I'm retaining a lot of h20 which I do every period.
I guess I'll just wait and see. How can you tell if your cervix is high? I have never heard that before.
Thanks!

Ok. I have a 36 day cycle. So CD 20 - CD 24 I was ovulating. Well, the whole time my boyfriend & I were trying. Well, my period is due Aug 22 or 23. ((My last period was July 18th.)) Well, 3 days ago I started spotting a little tiny bit then it stopped. Then on the 17th I woke up & I started spotting a little more then it got like a light med flow then back to very light. The 18th was the exact same. Then today, it was light red. Kinda looked like red water. Kinda like kool aide.. LoL. Well, then it turned a little brown & now it's gone. I took a pregnancy test today & when looking hard enough I thought the 2nd line looked very very faint. But maybe I just wanted so bad to see it. IDK. I have another test in case my period isn't here by Wed. What do you all think about this? My boobs don't hurt, but I do feel a little dizzy at times, last nite I was up til 3:30 feelin like I was going 2 puke & Ive been VERY moody. Ive cried 3 times today & didn't know why. OoO & also this morning when I woke up I had this nasty acid kinda taste in my mouth, it was really gross then it kinda faded after a little while. Ive also been gettin headaches & my BBT is stayin above 98.5.. IDK if thats good or not. I need some help.. SO HELP PLZ!!.. :o

BritainNichole... I am in the same boat as you. My last period was on July 19 and I have an avg of 36 day cycles. According to my calcuations my period should be on Aug 24 but starting the 22th I started to see this weird brown discharge. This morning I saw blood and thought, oh well, I guess it didn't happen. But now I am not sure. Throughout the day there hasn't been any more, just more brown. I took a pregnancy test on Sunday but it was negative but I think it was too early. Let me know if you find out one way or another.

After 2 hpts, I think I'm not pregnant. :(

I have been on the pill for almost 7 years now and my period has ALWAYS been ontime, the same heaviness and rarely changing. I am supposed to get my period in 6 days and am now experiencing these symptoms:
Constant feeling of wanting to pee, very light bright red spotting, sore back and slightly more acne.

What does this mean?? I'm worried about pregnancy or early miscarriage. Help please?

I have had something similar to you, cinbrou. The last day I took birth control was July 7. I got my period July 10 (it was normal and lasted 7 days). My next period, my first one off the birth control, came 4 days late (after 32 days). It, too, was normal. I am guessing that I ovulated sometime between August 23 and 28 (I have been very busy, and keeping up with temp and mucus charting is new to me). My husband and I had sex on Aug 23 and 25. On Aug 29, I noticed a very light discharge that was sort of mauve in color. It lasted on and off for a day. Could this be implantation bleeding, or did it occur too soon after suspected ovulation? When can I take a hpt? Since I am only 2 months off birth control, and my period didn't arrive on time last month, I don't really know when to expect it this cycle. Thank you to anyone with answers!

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I have had some other pms-like symptoms. I normally have no symptoms until my period actually starts. Around the time the spotting occurred, I developed mild lower back pain, mild abdominal cramps, and what feels to be gas or bloating. I have no breast sensitivity (never have), and have been only a little bit moody. Anyone able to help?

I am having the same thing happen to me. I just posted a question asking about a similar situation as yours. Have you had strong cramps with bleeding... similar to a period?

I normally have NO PMS symptoms. The only way I know when my period is coming is by timing my cycle. This cycle, however, I have had PMS-like symptoms, which include mild cramping, nausea, lower back pain, breast heaviness (no soreness), and some moodiness. I had pinkish-brown spotting for about 3 days, and it was very light. I discharge 2 to 3 dime-sized spots per day.

As I said, my last period started Aug. 11. My cycle was 28 days on birth control, and my first cycle off (my last cycle) lasted 32 days. My husband and I had sex on Aug 23 and 25. I noticed the spotting on Aug 29, and my other symptoms developed shortly after. They are not constant. My nausea comes and goes, and eating seems to have no effect on it. I have experienced some degree of nauseousness every day since the 29th though.

I am new to cycle charting and observing mucus and BBT. I admit I am not good at it at all. I am pretty sure I am not to the point where I have missed a period. I plan on waiting a week or so, and if it's not here I will test then. My gut sometimes tells me I'm pregnant, and other times it says it's stressed. My grandfather, whom I was very close to, passed away on Aug. 15 and I've been very upset since then. I think my body may be reacting to the stress of that situation, by I'm not entirely convinced. Anyone have any thoughts?

I had my last period on Aug 20th. I have a normal 28 day cycle. My hubby and I had sex on Sept. 3, which is about 14 days before my next period should start, and the next night I bled a light pink with a bit of mucus. I bled very lightly through the next day, with one more bit of mucus, and then it stopped. We have had no luck getting pregnant - can I be pregnant, or is it just middle of the month bleeding?

Well, I am also going through the same thing. I have took a hpt and I have went to the doctor and both confirmed I was pregnant. I began to have real bad cramps and light spotting so I proceeded to go back to the doctor. The doctor told me that it was implantation, but the bleeding has begun to get heavier like a period and I have also had nagging in the bottom of my abdomin not cramps, but a funny feeling. I don't know if am pregnant or miscarring... Please help. :confused:

My LMP was aug 8th. I had sex on the 24th which happened to be the week I was ovulating. I was supposed to start next period on 4th of September but I didn't get it until the 9th(didnt seem like a period). My usual period is light to heavy to light. This time it was light the whole time and dark red then on Sunday it was pink. Should I still take a pregnancy test or not?

My cycle is pretty regular. However, I had been spotting a brown color lightly. I went to the doctor on Aug 9th. He did blood work and I was not pregnant. The spotting continued for 14 days. I went back to the doctor on Aug 31st. THe doc did more blood work that Wed and on Thurs I wiped to find dark red blood with minor clotting. It never happened again. On Friday I went back and found out the blood work came back positive for pregnancy. My HCG levels were around 140 which put me at about 5 weeks pregnant. They did more blood work Friday to make sure the pregnancy was progressing due to the spotting and bleeding. I am being told my spotting was implantation bleeding and the small clotting that last one wipe was the lining of the uterus. I was told the baby sometimes makes the lining of the uterus shed. I will find out Monday if the pregnancy has progressed. I am very tired and extremely cranky but that is my only symptoms. I am a prime example of the implantation bleeding. My went from dark spotting for 14 days to red with some clotting after I wiped. Since that red scare there has been no spotting at all. I hope to find out Monday the baby is fine. I am/was definitely pregnant. They did blood work and they know that much for sure.

My period has always been pretty irregular myself, but usually my cycle is about 38 days. The first day of my last period was 8/20.. which means my next period is due on 9/26 and ovulation is 9/12. My boyfriend and I had intercourse on the 11 and the 14th.. and starting on the 16, I had a light brownish spotting. I thought it might be implantation bleeding, but from what I have been reading, it's supposed to last for only a day or two. I have been spotting for 4 days now. Does anyone know if this might be implantation bleeding? I have no other signs of pregnancy at the moment and I think it's too early to do a home pregnancy test. How long do your implantation bleeding lasts (for those of you who have had it)? Please help! I am really anxious to find out! :eek:

Well, I should have started my period on the 16th of September. I cramped the day before, and now for about 5 days, but with no sign of starting until this morning. I cramped really bad, then had a small gush of brownish fluid, and that's all. Usually, my periods last 8-10 days, with really heavy bleeding the first 5 days... I haven't ever experienced this before, and I just wonder if I could possibly be pregnant. We did have sex around the time that I think I could have gotten pregnant, we have just had a really hard time actually getting pregnant. I am scared to death to even try a pregnancy test for fear that it is truly negative, but I am about to worry myself to death about it. Anyone who has been pregnant think this sounds familiar or that maybe I am pregnant. My breasts have also been getting really dark, with a darker color around the edge with little bumps. I have been a little queezy for about 2 weeks also. I probably just need to bite the bullet and buy a test! :D Any ideas?
