I feel really stupid for writing this, but what the heck.
AF is normally as regular as old faithful. About a week before it starts, I begin getting pretty severe PMS symptoms. It’s always proceeded by pretty bad cramps, too, that continue for the first three days of AF. Anyway, AF was due to visit Wednesday. She finally showed up this morning with no cramps and no PMS preceding and is very light spotting and a dark brown color. I have a bicornuate uterus and so AF is usually very heavy. From what I’ve read online, if this is implant bleeding, it’s showing up 7-10 days late.
What I have been experiencing since Monday is nausea, mild headaches, light headedness, lethargy, and lower back pain. I really thought that I was fighting off an illness until AF showed up late. Now I’m confused.
I have been pregnant before and bled almost constantly through the whole thing, but that bleeding didn’t begin until about the 2nd or 3rd month of the pregnancy and the dark brown color was much darker (almost tar black) which it isn’t as dark now. I’m just not sure what to think. I’d love to think that maybe I was pregnant, but I’d feel stupid buying a pregnancy test while bleeding.
Am I being foolish?
