Could I be pregnant?

Ok, I had my period starting July 13th. I have normally a cycle of between 29-31 days. I haven't gotten my period yet and it's day 32. I have been feeling nauseous and dizzy and have had a 'tight' feeling in my lower abdomen - all these symptoms for about 4 days now.

Today I noticed a brownish, mucus. It's definitely not my period. I still could get my period, but do you think there's a chance I could be pregnant?? Can I test even though I have this mucus?

You can test now, it could be implantation bleeding that you are seeing with the browinsh mucous. I would definitely test if I were you. I'd use a 3 or 4 day sooner test so its more sensitive though.

Kerri,

I'm sorry no one got back to you sooner. The thing with message boards is that sometimes it may take some time to get a response; they're not as instantaneous as chat rooms. You can also push your messages back to the top of the heap by replying to it with a "bump" in case you don't get any responses, and see your message go down in the order of things.

In answer to your question: since you've got symptoms and something is definitely going on, by all means, take an HPT. The mucus won't have any impact on it.

Good luck to you!

It could be PMS or you could be pregnant. I'd go ahead and take a HPT to be sure.

Good Luck!

Wow - I could have written this post.

I have the EXACT same things happening - right down to the mucus you described - and I am on the same schedule as you (last period started July 14). I have the dizziness and nausea (that is, if I'm not imagining it, which is entirely possible). On Friday I felt like AF was on her way for sure - I had that cramping that usually comes right before you period. But she didn't show and still hasn't. I have that same tightness in my belly, too.

I'll be interested to know what the results are if you do decide to test. I was going to give myself another few days, because I know that if I go out and buy a test I'll get AF on the way home! ;)

Hey! It's Friday and I feel like I am going to get AF. I have stronger cramping - like before I get my period (not super strong, but feel like they normally do). But, NO AF yet! I think I might buy a test today and take it tomorrow morning.

I'm like you, twoblacklabs, I think if I go out and buy one, AF will come... Not sure.

Good luck to you and write back with news!

Thanks!

hey, I keep getting up from this board because I think I am getting my period, but nope... it hasn't come. Just the cramps. And a little mucuous brownish stuff. But very little of that. What is up with that!

I have an OBGYN appt on Tuesday, so we'll see until then.

good luck to you all!

Well, I couldn't wait - I bought a test on my way home from work last night.

I was soooo nervous!! But I took it - and I'm not pregnant :(. I was kicking myself as soon as I saw the result.

Still no sign of AF, though, and today is day #32.

Oh guys I hope you all get ++++ I am also waiting but I had my AF on July 20th and I have been feeling cramps since yesterday, I had some like little bit of blood not a lot with some nasty creamy stuff (Sorry) and then today I woke up sad but only cramps and no af I keep checking every so often but nothing as changed just regular. I took two tests and they were both neg, so they recommended a blood test and then hopefully since that will be around my af due time if none then I guess it will be great to find out if I am expecting oh I hope so cause I am so tired of Neg. I know how you guys feel.
