I dont know what to think

My last period was Jan 31, 2007. This past thursday the 22nd I had a brownish discharge that was until early this morning. I am confused weather I am pregnant because I heard you can have a discharge like that when you have implantation 6 days after you conceive or O'd. Or did I have a mini period. The reason for the confusion is my periods are very unusual. Dont ever know when happens...at least once a month but no certain amount of time (16 days to 41 days in the past). I would like some insite on this. My DH and I are trying to have a baby and have been TTC for 7 months now.

Thanks for the advise.

I am in the exact same situation. My last cycle was Jan 21 and a few days before my cycle I had the Brown spotting I called my Dr. and they said it sounded like I was pregnant and told me to take a Preg test. But for some reason I have to wait at least 1-2 weeks late before a test shows positive for me. I have 5 sons so far and I will be very excited if I am. I will test again on Tues and post the results if you would like.

Have you taken a Preg test yet?

Thanks for your reply myhandful. Its nice to know I am not alone.

I have not taken a test yet, due to last time I was late my doc gave me the advise not to test until your past 31 days. So I do plan on testing when that day comes around unless AF decides to really show her head.

I really hope we are pregnant. My sister in law is pregnant with their first and I would love to have them close in age. Plus to have a little one around would be a Blessing from God.

Baby dust to all.....

I once had the same thing except mine was a whole period. All brown blood. Well I was pg and my Dr said my body was just getting rid of the extra old blood from not havin a period. So I just said whatever. So I think you should test.

I am also playing the waiting game. I am waiting until this weekend to test. I had a period with two of my sons. It was very light and brown in color. When I was pregnant with my youngest I had absolutely no sypmtoms at all except the absence of my period. I felt great. It is different with everyone. I would take the test in a week or so just to be sure.

I am in the same boat. My last period was on January 26 so I am on CD32. I decided to test on Saturday because I was so sick to my stomach, headache, cramping, fatigued and spotted a few times between the 18th to 24th of February, but had a Negative HPT on Saturday. As of today still no sign of AF, but everytime I think maybe its coming I run to the bathroom and nothing. I have been very good about waiting to retest but I am losing my mind and on top of it I now can't stop peeing. I am probably going to do another HPT tomorrow morning. But in the meantime I will continue to sit and hope for a BFP. Lots of sticky baby dust to all.

I'm also testing on Saturday morning. I have brownish red spotting right now, but my period isn't due until around next Sunday or Monday (it's usually very irregular). Make sure to post updates on Saturday! I know I will!

Well I took the test and it said Negative. But still no cycle and I can feel my ligaments stretching and have other symtoms. Since I am used to having to wait until I am 7 weeks to get a positve. I will have to wait some more. I really think I am pregnant and I am trying to get in touch with my Dr. to take a blood test so that I can know for sure. I will let you know what I find out.

When any of you who also had the brown spotting find out let me know. I did find a site that said before pregnancy tests were available that brown spotting was one of the sysmtoms they would look for. I hope it is a good sign.

Even though with my previous 5 children I never had spotting of any kind.

Good luck and keep us all posted.

I just go back from taking a quantitive blood test to determine how much HCG is in my blood. I will have the answer tomorrow. When do you plan to test?

Thanks for all your welcoming comments...it means alot to know others are experiencing the same things as I.

I am planning on testing on Monday if AF does not show up by then I am on 29cd. So if AF does not show up by Monday a test will be done that morn (if no interuptions) I will post and let you all know.

Well I just got back from the Dr. and my blood test was negative. I have all the symtoms of pregnancy because I have PCOS. which if you haven't heard the term you probably don't have it. I don't want any of you to worry about it.

But I pray the rest of you will have a better result. Children are wonderful and I appreciate each child I have been blessed with. They are all so unique, I love the way my 3yo speaks. He brings joy to me each day and I hope that your children will bring that to you.
