So confused..Am I pg?

Hello everyone. I am really stumped. My body is really doing a good job of confusing me this month. AF was supposed to show on Aug 6 but for some reason I got the brown junk that usually comes on the first day on July 31. OK so I thought AF came early, no big deal, and set my sights on next month. The problem is my actual AF has yet to show. Its only the brown stuff which is fairly light, but no actual red blood. Sorry so graphic but I don't know how else to explain it. Could I be pg??? I don't want to test unless I have to because they are so expensive and I don't want to get my hopes up...

I'm a little worried because the night I thought AF started I went out and had a few drinks. I seriously thought I wasn't pg and dh and I rarely get a chance to go out with a 2 year old at home. I know I really shouldn't worry about the drinking too much since I rarely ever drink in the first place but its scary to think that I may have screwed something up if I am pg.

So should I bother testing???

TIA!!!

It could have been implantation bleeding that you had.....it can be brown or pinkish, but not red discharge. This is the egg settling into the lining.....if AF is still not a show then it is a good possibility that you are pg. It would still be early to test~ try to wait at least 5 more days for AF to show and if she's still a no show then go ahead and test. I'm betting you see a +!

GL to you!

A friend of mine had brown spotting, thought it was her period and

the following month when her period didn't show found out she was

8 weeks and not 4 weeks pregnant. I would wait a few more days

and test. Good Luck.

WOW, about the same thing is happening to me! I am due around today-friday, but started spotting brown on Saturday and it has kept up but hasn't turned red yet. I keep telling myself that its probably early AF but I am hoping its not too! Let us know how it turns out! I will pray that AF stays away for both of us!

I usually spot a day or so before AF, but its always pinkish, so the brown is different! Are you having any other potential symptoms? I am having normal pre-AF stuff, slightly tender bbs, cramps, etc, but nothing else really different.

Hope to see a BFP soon!

Thanks for getting back to me everyone. I'm waiting this out and if I don't get AF by this weekend, I am going to test.

Vicki, nice to hear that this is happening to someone else too. I hope it works out for the both of us. I really don't feel too different other than the usual pre AF stuff like sore bbs and a little cramping. But two things that I have noticed are that I seem to have less energy and I am hungry all the time. I hope this means a baby's on the way!!

Baby Dust to you all!!!
