Symptoms Getting Worse...

Ok I appologise ahead of time for the TMI but here it goes...


I last had my AF on 1/12 (Which was a week late to begin with due to stress) and it only lasted about 3-4 days, which is normal for me. but about 3 or four days ago I started spotting a little bit, which has never happened to me between cycles, but it was not the normal red color, but a light pink color. And the bleeding only lasted for a few short hours. SInce then, i have woken up with a headache just about every day, been very quesy (but no vomiting),very sensitive to smells, some stomach cramping (Which, unlike most women, i dont get with AF) and an inability to concentrate on anything, like my brain in just refusing to function (also referred to as baby brain, or at least that what my MIL said with my first pregnancy.)


Now, my AF is not due for another week or so, and Im not really sure of the date because it was so off last month, but I have had some very thick discharge (Sorry TMI) and there is no color t it so I know its not an infection, but that is just not normal for my body. I already have a 2 1/2 year old son, but I didnt find out i was pg with him until i was almost 3 months, and the only symptoms i had with him was a bit of morning sickness and darkened nipples.


SHould I wait another week to see if AF shows up, or should I go ahead and take a HPT? and would the HPT be accurate this early, because when I was reading about implantation bleeding, it said its possible for for it to come up with a BFN because the body might not have had enough time to build up enough HCG to affect the test yet...


SOrry I know I wrote a book here! Let me know what ya'll think!

I would go ahead and take a test. I got a BFP before my missed period, so it is possible. I found some tests online that read the lowest amount of HCg in the body (they need half as much as the tests that can tell you 5 days early)
Good Luck! I hope you get the result your looking for!
