Hi, slightly long story so I will try to filter it a bit!
My periods are always 28 days regular cycle. My last normal period was 8th December 2011, and I had unprotected sex when I would expect to have been ovulating after that. I then expected my next period on 5th January, but it didn't come. I automatically predicted pregnancy as (having been pregnant before 1 ectopic 1 miscarriage), I know the signs. I had slightly sore boobs, was so tired all the time. But my period came on the 8th (31 days since last period, which is weird for me). It seemed normal, if a little lighter than usual. However, since my period tapered off on the 4th day (12th January), I've noticed a slight bit of brown discharge in my knickers and when I wipe, every day without fail. This is confusing me as I've never had it in my life! It would now be day 19 of my cycle and I'm still seeing it.
Also, my boobs are INCREDIBLY sore, bigger and harder, I've been having terrible head aches for a week every day, I get pain twinges at different parts of my lower abdomen, I've had a LOT of trapped wind and passive wind for about a month, my back started being sore today, I often feel queasy at the same time of day (mid afternoon), my appetite is rubbish, my womb area is swollen and harder, I'm sleepy really often, yet having trouble staying asleep at night, I've been dizzy a few times, amongst other things.
Now here's what's getting me - I have taken 3 NEGATIVE HPTs!!! I took one on 20th Jan, one on 22nd, and one on 23rd. From my calculations I would be over 6 weeks pregnant (counting from my last normal period in December, and seeing as I started getting pregnancy symptoms before my January bleed). When I was pregnant before, I got positive results at 5 weeks (although faint because one was ectopic and the next I miscarried). But I haven't even had a faint line with this. I am SO sure I'm pregnant, I can feel it!
So I suppose what I want to know is:
1) Has anyone else been in a similar situation?
2) Can anyone suggest what the constant brown discharge could be caused by?
3) Has anyone had negative HPTs at around 6-7 weeks?
4) Any other input would be appreciated!
Thanks so much for reading and thanks in advance if you have any reassurance for me!

You could be psyching yourself out maybe because the fact that you wanna be pregnant and it common for your body to play tricks on you as well. It has happened to be before a few years back but was always a false alarm. Same symptoms & everything, pretty much just my mind playing tricks with me, because of the fact that i wanted to be pregnant. Sometimes your body changes for no reason at all, especially when it comes to your period, and in the most inconvenient time to.
Or maybe your HPT's just aren't showing up so soon as they should be, could be because of the light bleeding. The mother of my niece had the same problem, her HPT was negative so she didn't think she was pregnant and bled a bit after, but little did she know. I am now 14 weeks pregnant and my HPT's showed up a early as they said it should, which i think is 4 weeks? I didn't have morning sickness till i was about 6 weeks and even then it was only nausea and now has gone away, finally!
but i would suggest going to a clinic and getting blood tooken and a pregnancy test, theirs are more accurate. If still no luck and you continue to NOT get your period and your belly continues to grow, congrats :)

Did you end up being pregnant? I'm in the same situation, about 10 weeks late and negative hpts and one negative blood test. But I feel so incredibly pregnant so I'm not giving up hope!
