i have seen this post a few times before but with different circumstances. My period was due Aug. 8th. My last period was July 8th. My normal cycle length is 31 days. I chart online, no birth control for years. my husband and i started trying a few months ago. last month i got my period right on time. i am not usually late.
I have been extremely bloated this month ( i look like i am showing already!) and sometimes nauseous.
since July 8th i have had probably 1 tsp. or less light brown spotting. it looks like chocolate milk on my pad a day. i took a test on the 9th, negative. I have resolved that if i do not get my period by Aug. 15th I will take another test and if still negative and have not gotten my period, i will go get a blood test and see a dr.
i am wondering if this is normal. does this happen to a lot of women? i am trying to keep this a secret from my friends so i dont have anyone to talk to! my husband tries his best but again, need some advice!
