Late period, brown spotting, mucous and hint of confusion.

Nissy, If you are still on here just wanting to know if you ended up being pregnant? im in the same situation at the moment ttc for four months just wanting to know.

I've been reading all these posts, like most of you, with blinders on just fishing for the words "positive" or "pregnant" going through the same symptoms as most of you, but I have something I feel important to share with all of you...

Even though my period was late and I was getting signs of pregnancy (have been before but miscarried two years ago) it really comes down to following your gut in the early stages and my gut was saying "not pregnant". My gut was right as I found out this morning.

When you want to be pregnant so bad month after month, you'll want to find any glimmer of hope you can whether it be brown discharge, soar breasts, even "my ears are itchy - maybe I'm pregnant!", but when you stress out about this, most of the time is just delays your period. The mind is a POWERFUL organ.

I'm sure you've all heard it before, but I strongly feel that if you try to be more like your husbands or boyfriends and not worry about it, you'll more than likely succeed. I've been trying for a year and a half now and all I do is think about it and waste my money on tests every month. I've finally decided to just take care of myself, do some traveling with my husband and RELAX because some day soon I won't be able to have me-time or travel like so many of my recent mom friends. Everything happens when it's supposed to. Even impatient people like myself can appreciate that and breath a sigh of relief.

Enjoy life ladies, because more than likely you'll be giving life in good time.

Take care.

my last period was in sep 29 not bleeding or nothing in octuber two days ago on the 7 i got some brownish discharge with some blood when i wipe my self them started bleeding lightly them bleeding like a period today its very light which is goin to stop. dont know what to do last time i took a pregnancy test was in middle of October and scare to take one i really wish i was pregnant and don't want to be disappointed. :-)

Many of you are confused and concerned about missing your period and possible being pregos due to this brown discharge.
I'm currently experiencing this, and I have several times in the past. I recently went to my gyno and she diagoinised me with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and hypothyriodism...both major bummers, but it's good to know b/c I am now able to take meds and treat my body with what it needs, instead of always freaking out over missed periods or strange spotting.
Anyways, I'm not saying you all have PCOS or anything, but I would go to the Dr. if it's a common occurrence or if it just doesn't feel right for you.
Remember, it's your body!

me and my husband are trying to concieve but with no luck we have been trying since july i am 21 and still no luck the past to months i have had a spoting period and a day with a slight flow could i be pregnant i have been having a dark brown discharge and cant help but feel something is worng i realy want a baby but nouthing seems to happen each month.

DONT WORRY!!! I WAS SOOOOOO LATE. 

I'm 19 and have had the same exact symptoms. I did had unprotected sex with my boyfriend about six weeks ago so I could possibly be prego but haven't taken a test or gone to the doctor yet. I am now 2 and a half weeks late. Around the time I was supposed to have my period I woke up and peed and there was blood when i wiped and when i took a shower i saw some on my leg so i figured it was my period. About mid day it stopped and never came back. That was followed by the brown mucus which only lasted about a day or two. I have also had a few cramps in my lower stomach, headaches only when i wake up, and my lower back has been really sore. I'll keep everyone posted on my results as soon as I can get a test and a doctors appt. made. If y'all have any advice pleaaaase pass it on! 

Hey, Im 19, and im like 2 weeks late for my period and i had my period today finally but the first bit was a brown discharge with a clot. and like 4 hours later it was red with a clot. i havent taken a pregnancy test, and i have had a little pain every so often under my left side rib cage, and stomach cramps

Freaking out -- i had unpotected intercourse jan 6,7, Nd 8. Jan 8 i took the plan B. im not due for my next period until the 28th. Today is the 21st. On the 17th i started spotting and noticed a mucus like discharge. Ive also been very tired lately and had a bloated like hard stomach for days. Headaches have also started occuring everyday. Even tho i know its to early , i took a test and it was negative. Im still very concerned and i cant stop wondering if these are effects from the pill , and why would the effects take to long to kick in?? Please help! Thank you! - im 21 and with my boyfriend for 4 years but im suppostsd to leave for basic training for the air force soon and im very concerned.

Alittle late on the topic but i only just found this awsome site...

 

Reccently went for a pregnancy blood test and still waiting for the results, didn't think i could be but reflecting on the past 5 weeks and researching i have all the symptoms of an early pregnancy...

 

spotting, milky discharge, crampy stomach, just feeling off, tired, late period, itchy back, moody, HUNGRY! and even graving foods and feeling alittle ill... feeling excited that i might be pregnant... but this afternoon i had alittle blood in my discharge generally the sign of my period starting but its over 6 days late...

 

can this still be a sign i'm pregnant? or has all this excitment and thinking just gone to my head?... so confused.

I have been on the pill for over a year. A week or two ago I forgot to take it and had to double up on it a couple of days. During this time I was sexually active. Last month my period was extremely light and the color of the water color pink. This month my first day there was no sign of blood at all. When i would use a tissue there was brown mucus discharge. This continued to the second day. The second day I used only one pad. the brown mucus turned into dark brown blood when i used a tissue but i wouldnt urinate any to secret any on to the pad. Ive been soo sore and achy which has been alot worse and last longer than usual to the point i cant sleep cuz im so uncomfortable. I also feel faint when im up doing something, even when im just sitting up watching tv. can i be pregnant? what else can it possibly b?

I currently have my tubes cut and burned. I am 6 days late for my period, but 3 weeks ago I started getting nauseous in the morning and evening, really tired, and my lower back hurts... 4 days before my period was supposed to be here I had spotting and very light bleeding last night just when I wiped I had a little brown discharge. My period is always on time and I have taken 3 pregnancy tests all which were negative. Anyone have any ideas? I would be excited if I was pregnant I am getting remarried and we want to have a baby together....

Hello, I'm in the same boat. I am 5 days late. I've had frequent headaches, nausea, very tired, and just feel different. I am usually regular with in a day or two. I don't take the pill but my boyfriend ALwAYs uses a condom. So I'm not sure what to do. I'll probably but a test tomorrow and take it in the morning. I have had a different type of discharge but nothing red or brown....any suggestions??

ok, first off all of you should know when you ovulate each month. you are adults. there isnkt an excuse for not knowing your body.  you can determine this my taking you temperature orally each day upon rising while still in bed. it is your basal body temperature. your temperature will increase around ovulation. you should compare this to the texture of the cervical mucus. a clear egg white runny discharge is found when we are most fertle. it provides the sperm a very easy entrance through the cervix. you should also be aware that while sperm can live up to 72 hours in the vagina, the egg is viable for only 24. simply put, you wonkt have togoogle "am i pregnant " if you know you didn't have sperm in your vagina 3 days before or after you ovulated.  if your temperature does not change, you may not have ovulated that month. if you have periods longer than 33 days apart or are overweight you should be checked for ovarian cysts. when the normal functionals cyst ruptures it secretes hormones to signal your body when to break down the lining of the uterus if the egg does not become fertilized or implant in uterine wall. if the cyst does not rupture, your period wonkt come. if you feel bloated and have pressure in abdombin and pregnancy symptoms it is likely a cyst. you should have a transvaginal ultrasound. you may need to take a glucose test if you are overweight as polysystic ovarian syndrome and diabetes/prediabetes are usually cofactors of the disease.  try smart phone apps to chart your cycle, also free websites. this will help you avoid unwanted pregnancy and help you concieve if trying. i'd also like to point out that what  a woman before said about all these symptoms being bacterial vaginosis is false. bv will cause discharge but it is heavy and creamy and smells very bad. your vag will burn when you get it wet in the shower. you may have it with spotting or blood if you get your period. the period blod wiil be lighter because of the amount of discharge. bv isn't considered an std but can be passed that way if a man has it on his penis from another woman and then has sex with you unprotected. it can occur spontaneously when the normal vaginal flora and fauna are disturbed. donkt waste time on the internet if your vag stinks lik a fish go to the dr. if your period is late, go t th dr. you can try taking black cohosh root or pennyroyal tea to bring on late menstruation.  pennyroyal is in the mint family and can be foun at most healthfood stores. black cohosh is available as a dried root which can be steeped like tea leaves or in capsules. increases in vitamin d are shown to stimulate the ovaries which may be sluggish 1000 to 3000 iu of d3 taken daily has been shown to improve ovulation.
