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

Hi I am 24 and married. I have been on the pill for 7 years and have always used condoms too. I have always tried my best to take my pill at the same time every day but I am really quite forgetful and over my buisiest period at work nov-jan kept forgetting to take pill at the correct times. My jan period (after finishing packet of pills) was a brown discharge whihc only lasted a day and so was my feb period. My march period never showed. I took two pregnancy test both negative. I spoke to my docs about the porblem and said that I had taken 2 tests which were both negative. She said that sometimes it just happens and not to worry about it. Has anyone else been in this situation? has anyone else got ideas of what it might be? should I go for a blood test?

any advice of help would be appreciated thanks :-)

Hi everybody,

I have the same, brown period instead of proper period with blood, found out i have one PCO, going to doctors tonight for tests. Has anyone had an answer to theirs??

Its annoying the hell out of me and the more you read online the more confusing it gets!!

Thanks

6 days late for AF every now and then and brown pinkish spotting :-( when i wipe and go to the toilet
what is it all about? any idea?

Same with me. The last time I had my period was the 1st week of April. I missed the first week of June. I hooked up with my ex the last weekend of April. It was stupid, very stupid. Then the first weekend of May I hooked up with the guy I'm currently dating. Both hookups involved the usage of condoms. It's now the 17th of June, and I'm still without my period. I've had brown spotting the last few days. The guy I'm currently dating and I messed up the sheets the other night, but the spotting has only been noticeable when having sex, and when going to the bathroom. The amount of spotting has also been very light. I took a test earlier today, and it came out negative. I'm curious to what's going on. I had been stressed the last few weeks because of finals, and graduation. It's continued because of my inability to find a job. Do you think that's the main culprit? I'm so confused. Should I be worried?

I'm glad to know that I'm not in the same boat.

My cycle is usually about 35 days long, but lately it's been a bit irregular since I took Plan B back in February. My period has been slightly late each time, but otherwise normal flow and PMS symptoms. Last week my cycle was 41 days instead of 35. Today is when my period should begin, assuming it followed last month's trend. I've been moody before hand, but not as much as usual. I've been crampy too, but it's been very sporadic. Usually I get breast tenderness a few days before my period starts, but nothing this time. I've also had a headache for the past three days in a row. When I woke up this morning the cramps were more steady and felt like regular menstrual cramps. I'm also getting a brown mucus-y discharge when I wipe, and one time I got a blood clot in it, too.

I have been a little stressed with moving into a new apartment, and being unable to find a job despite my desperate financial situation. My boyfriend and I have been intimate on a couple of my fertile days, but we always use condoms and make sure that none of them have broken after we're done with them. No breaks to our knowledge. A few weeks ago my boyfriend was ill with the flu or cold, and I was around him and probably exposed to the virus.

I don't know if it's from the virus, stress, if my body is still trying to sync after the plan B, or if I'm pregnant. I have no breast tenderness, have not being peeing more than usual, no increased sense of smell, and no increase in appetite (which I usually get with my period.) In fact, my appetite has decreased. I have not yet taken a pregnancy test, and am not planning on it until two weeks later when I get back from my vacation.

I will let everyone know of any updates.

Hi there,

I'm having alot of the same problems you all are going through :-(
I'm 19, married and I've been trying for a baby on and off for about a year.
It's July 1st 09, and the last time I got my period was on May 17th/18th and finished on May 22nd/23rd (so my periods quite late)
I still don't know much about timing my Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation but me and my husband did have intercourse between the 2 weeks after finishing my period.
My periods are only known to be irregular when I travel overseas - major climate change. (and I haven't travelled for 11 months) [BUT I did fly domestic on June 3rd 09 and back on June 4th 09]

Last week I started getting symptoms such as: a little cramping, frequent urination (a craving for drinking water<-weird) along with tender breasts (mainly period-like symptoms)
I decided to take a quick home pregnancy test, to make things more easy (which actually made things worse)
Because the test came out negative :'(

And as the week went on, I never got my period. So on 25th June I went to my family G.P. to see whats going on..
The doctors suggestion was for me to take a blood test.
So the next day, I did just that.

There was a delay with getting my blood test results..
So over the crazy weekend, I started to get more symptoms like: light pink spotting [twice] (on the tissue after wiping) I had alot of cramping [slighty more on my right side] (MUCH more than the usual period pain) I felt heavy/bloated and also as if my lower abdomen was swollen and I felt really tired after an easy day (28th June)
I also had lower back pains, that only seemed to go away when I lie down to sleep.
I noticed increased cervical mucus too (white in color, and creamy)
After googling up alot of sites about pregnancy and my symptoms, I thought I might be having a miscarriage or have some kind of illness - which led me to be even more confused. %-)

Now it is July 1st.
On the few days after the weekend, I had light pink spotting once more with medium cramping - lower abdomen [it was on and off].
My eating habits have changed. One day I could wait until evening without wanting to eat, and the next day I would want specific food >:(
I can't stand to eat breath mints anymore, and my favorite toothpaste taste horrible.
My breasts feel as if its time to get my period, but they aren't sore.
I still haven't received any blood test results. I feel hopeless and lost.
My husband and parents are being very supportive [telling me not to worry]
I just want to find out whats happening to me, so I can take the next step.

The last time I thought I was pregnant, I was sooooo happy and soon after when I got my period, I was shattered. :'(

Well thats my story, and thanks to all of you who decided to share yours.
If you have any advice, or anything at all to comment on, I'm all ears!

Thanks <3

I have taken so many pregnancy test, but all coming back negative.I dont know what to do??!! Please someone help me!!! Could I be pregnant??? Thanks

Hi All,

I just finished reading through all of your postings and I feel somewhat relieved that there are others experiencing the same things I am. I am 29 yrs old, been off of birth control for over 3 yrs now and my husband and I just started trying to have a baby last month. Since I've stopped birth control my periods have been like clockwork, every 28 days. I was supposed to start on 6/29 but nothing. We have taken 3 pregnancy tests and I even did a blood test and all negative. Yesterday I woke up w/ swollen/tender breasts but nothing else. This morning I went to the bathroom and saw some light pink blood w/ some mucus, no cramping or anything. I don't really feel like myself lately, more tired than usual, more hungry. I read on-line that taking a hpt too early will show a negative result b/c some women's hgc levels don't show up right away. I'm still hopeful but not holding my breath. Today is day 8 without a period or normal period symptoms. I thought I was so in tune with my body, but now I feel so thrown off and confused. My husband and I decided that we will wait 2 more weeks and if still nothing by then we'll take another hpt. If the test still comes out negative then I'll call my OB again and see what the next step is. I'll write in a few weeks and let you all know what happens. Good luck to you all!

Mrs Smith-

As I am having the same issue as you. I am 23 years old, married and have been trying to conceive for almost a year now. My last period was also in May. It started on May 26 and ended on the 30th. My husband and I have been trying and since I'm not good with my cycle and ovulation timing yet we had intercourse almost every other day a month prior to my last period in May AND also every other day during the whole month of June.

June 26th roll around and nothing. July 4th and 5th, I had light brown discharge for those two days only. Then the next they were gone. Just today it came back but slightly darker. It's not enough to put on a pad nor a liner. My breasts are normal. I feel sharp pains come one second and gone the next near the uterus on the left side. I've been having heartburn lately and feeling bloated. Some days I'm very active while some days I'll want to sleep throughtout the whole day. I've been very gassy and having diarrhea/constipation. My eating habits are similar to yours. I can go on one day without eating anything and the next I'd smell all kind of fruits and want certain food.

I haven't done a blood test yet but I've done a urine test on July 8th and it was negative. My friend told me to get a blood test but I'll be so torn if it comes back negative too so I'm waiting on it until the 26th comes around to see if I get my period. If not then I will get a blood test.

Let me know if you ever get your blood test result back.
Wishing the best for everyone wanting and trying to conceive!!

Hello all,

Yesterday I notice some spotting. Brownish discharge and also had some today along with some i guess best describe as "rubbling" around my lower abdomen. My period isn't due most likely until next week. My concern is I had sex about a week ago without protection, but no ejeculation occured. Before that we had had sex with a condom, but he clean up and urinated. I have experience spotting in the past but its usually a day or two before my actual period started. My periods are normal for the most part. Also, I'm not on birth control (i.e. pills) but have used the Plan B pill about 4 months ago.

Could I be pregnant or am I just simply paranoid?

Also I have been more stress lately and starting exercising again, which can be factors to spotting.

I also have not experience another pregnancy signs (tender breasts, naseau, etc.)

THANK YOU AND WOULD LOVE FEEDBACK ON THIS ISSUE

Hi there!
Sorry about the late reply.
I read your story and boy arent we going through the same issues :x

I got my blood test results back on July 2nd 09 - negative :cry:
But the doctor told me that it might still be too early and to take another blood test the week after - if I havent got my period already.
And now its been 2 weeks since the doctor asked me to take one and I still havent. im afraid it might be a negative again.

Its been 52 days since I got my last period.. Im completely puzzled. :?

I didnt get my period last month, but if I did, I should be getting my period this week. <- If that makes sense
So Im planning on waiting this week out to see what happens.

Alot of the cramping I had have stopped, and I havent had any spotting sinceee.
Im still getting white discharge and crazy eating habits.
I still feel bloated, but my breasts aren't aching.

Jy08, I wish you all the best!
Please keep us posted on how things go!

[color=brown]hello im stacey and i've been experiencing some of the same symptoms accompainied with nausea and tender swollen and sore breast oh and i am more than a week late it became a week on 07/16/2006 and i have had some slight spotting before that was like implantation bleeding. i've pretty much had every sign and symptom of pregnancy and on 7/18/2009 early in the am before dawn i experienced some brown colered spotting now i am bleeding without cramps and it is lighter than usual i am very confused i go to the doctor tuesday to take a pregnancy test do you think tis will interfere with the results? :cry: :? :? :?

I am 18 and really worried!
I have been on the pill since about april and have never missed taking a pill.
I was due my period 2 days ago and I didnt get it.
Then earlier today I went to the bathroom and there was some dark, thick blood & then I had a little bit of pain which felt like my normal period pains just not that painful.
I know worrying can make the problem worse but I don't know what to do.
Could someone tell me if this could mean I'm pregnant or is it more of a health issue I am experiencing?
Would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
