Starting to get panicky

I've been spotting since Friday night and have also been craving salt/chocolate and been bloated and well... really gassy. Got a little weepy Sunday morning, too. These are all my triggers that Aunt Flo is getting ready to make her appearance. Still spotting and crampy now, like I'm going to start any minute. By spotting I mean a pinky-brown discharge, not just a drop or two that's barely noticeable. I've been using a pantyliner & running to the bathroom to check if I've started ~ it "feels" like I've started, KWIM?

I started my last "visit" on June 19 which was a day early for me. This Monday was my expected start date. Generally if I'm early one month I'm behind a few days the next month. Today was my "outside date" and I'm starting to get a little panicky that I might be pregnant. Hoping that it's just stress from coming back to work after vacation & coming back to piles of work and disgruntled co-workers.

Thanks for letting me ramble & any advice would be appreciated.

I'm in a very similar situation-- Although I think your symptoms are a little more extreme than mine. I'm getting a few brown spots, and a noticeably large amount of clear discharge. I've been getting a few random cramps and my breasts have been sore. I've also been pretty irritable. Like you, I was expecting my period to start on Monday, so I'm now two days late. I'm really hoping i'm not pregnant!
