    I'm feeling Alarmed!
    Hey,

    For those who read my earlier posts know what's going on, but for those who haven't- here's short version-- I haven't had my period since Dec. 19th, and have taken home pregnancy tests which all have come up negative but I am showing few possible symptoms of pregnancy such as Acne in strange places, having to go to the bathroom more than usual (but not like crazy pee every 5 mins), red spidery like vein stretch marks, weight gain, but no morning sickness. I have been told that hormone levels may be slow to build that's why I may be coming up negative for home pregnancy tests. Also, I have a doctor appt on April 2nd (next monday) for a blood test for more accurate testing.

    Now, I am worried that I may not even be pregnant at all-- Today when I went to the bathroom I had brownish like discharge with light blood in it-- never had this before--- is this normal? Does this mean that my period is coming or is it an implantation bleeding, miscarriage? Oh and very light cramping nothing drastically noticeable is experienced as well.

    Please let me know what you think or/and if you experienced this and still was/are pregnant...

    I appreciate it!

    I had slight bleeding during my pregnancy and my doctor assured me it was normal. As long as you do not have a heavy period with Bright Red blood. It is good that you are going to see the doctor, because if it is not pregnancy, they will find what problem you are having. The fact that you have those red colored stretch marks makes me think you are pregnant, but only because I developed those as well. As long as you do not get sever cramping, I think you are fine waiting until the 2 since it is so close, but if anything severely abnormal starts happening, don't post on here, go immediately to a hospital or urgent care center. Good luck.

    It has been 3 months and you have not been to the doctor yet? Well, good thing you have an appointment.

    Now, anytime you are or think you may be pregnant and you see blood of any type, it should be considered an emergent situation until your doctor tells you that this may in fact be normal for you.

    You should contact your doctor's office, let them know that you think you may be pregnant and that you are spotting.

    You should have this checked out immediately in case you are pregnant. If you are, and this is not normal for you, you may need to be put on bed rest until the spotting stops to prevent a miscarriage.
