I think I am a week late on my period. My boyfriend and I use condoms and he checks them all the time. I am always a little irregular so I didn't think much of it. I just lost 5 pounds before all this happened. I have been having bad cramps in my lower stomach like period cramps and one in my lower back and kidney's, I am hungry more often, I am light headed and have a little bit of nausea, I haven't gained weight but my stomach is bloating kind of. Today at lunch time I had light pink discharge and then from then on I have had dark brown discharge. What's up? :(

I have moved this to the pregnancy forum.

It could be many things, and of course I know you realise that condoms are far from 100 percent effective. The failure rate can run from 3 to 10 percent as normally used. So if you want to be safer, you always use two methods and even then it is not 100 percent.

So could you be pregnant, of course if you are having sex. It may be worth a visit to your doctor to have it checked out

I think your period is coming, so don't worry too much just wait another week and then take a test if it hasn't come. I wish you the best.
