are these signs?

I was supposed to get my af this week, but instead I have had this brown discharge. It's not as heavy as a period, yet it has a thick consistancy. And it comes and goes, but it's more than spotting. (If this makes any sense.) I'm haveing major mood swings. (I honestly believe I really want to hurt someone...lol how horrible is that?) My breasts are a little tender, and I have been getting up in the middle of the night to pee. Which I have never done! But I also have cramping, headaches, on and off nausea and dizzyness like I usually get when I get my af. Only the cramping isn't as bad. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Could these posibly be pregnancy signs? The brown discharge is what has really thrown me off I guess. Any input is very much appriciated!

I've had the brown discharge you are talking about. But mine usually occurs on day 3 and 4 of my AF. So it may just be an abnormal period. Also heard it could be because of excess amounts of estrogen in body (not sure how true this is).

HI

I did have the same thing that you are talking about a month ago. I occurred for 1 week then I started my af. It was very abnormal for me and I just chalked it up to a weird af.

I too had that last month. I had it about 10 days before I had my AF. Then AF showed up 10 days after that. I don't know what it was. I just said thats weird. (Hoping it doesnt happen this month)

Thank you so much for the advice. The discharge has completely stopped. So it only lasted two and a half days. And I am getting tired and having weird feelings in my stomach. And still cramping. So I think I am going to test in a day or two. Please cross your fingers for me! (I really want a little boy!) lol How is that for jumping the gun! I don't even know if I am and I am already hoping for a boy! lol Thank you again!
