Q: What Is Going On With My Body?

Crying or Very sad

well not pregnant this month. So I dont think so at least. Went to the bathroom ealier today and I was bleeding so I knew it was my period. It was a bit red but also brownish. Put in a tampon and that was the end of it. Had a little emotional outburst to my husband because I really want to be pregnant. Just went to the bathroom now and pulled out the tampon and the blood was a browny color. When I wiped nothing really came out. I know all this sounds really gross but I need to know is this my period or not?

It may not be a period. Take a test and go from there. A lot of women get little bits of bleeding and general oogy stuff at the start of pregnancy.

Not sure. It came saturday night and was a bit reddish brown. It is still here but when I pull the tampon out it is more brown than reddish now. When I wipe there is not much coming out. Usually it lasts about 4 days but it is really light already and this is only the 2nd day.

Question For You....

Were you on birth control before you started trying to get pregnant.....If you were it could be that your body is just trying to get back in the swing of things.... Let me know but dont freak out.....Take a test or two....You never know!

I came off the bc in august. The first month my period was 3 days late and we had a little panic but the months after that they were right on time to the hour almost. Ths one came right on time but was the brownish reddish colour. Yes we are ttc.

Dollar store:) they work very well just as well as most other ones. Most normal pregnancy tests can detect the hormone if you have missed a period. I think it's worth sanity to spend 99cents. I hope you are pregnant dear, good luck.

Go to a free clinic everyone has one of those, or a birthing center place like birthright or something
