Hey yall it's me again. It's been about 2 weeks since i've been in here. How was everyone's christmas??Moody?? :?
My situation hasn't gotten any better in the past weeks. I still have no sign of my period. But almost like a constant ovulation. I have no idea what's going on. I know that my insurance (humana) does not cover ob/gyn appts. Or maternity. So..Either way I go, i'm screwed. I stopped taking my b/c patch in october. (not by choice) since then, me and my fiance' have had unprotected sex. We are not financially ready to bear a child if anyone knows what i'm sayin. Normally when my period is approaching, I have cramps, sore boobs, and readdy tense. So far....Nada. Nothing. Zero. Now, I did go to the dollar store and bought 2 .99 cent preg. Tests. After getting 2 neg. Results I figured it was because of me getting off of the patch. But then for exactly 3/4 days I was bleeding a dark brown substance. It actually gave me no warning of its arrival :? Haha...One morning I woke up , tinkled, and there it was. No sore boobs, no cramps and it was extreemly light. Maybe a maxi pad all day. This was in december. I believe the first week. What should I think of all of this. There are also no signs of pregnancy except extreeme gas at the bottom of my ribs and fatigue.(i.E. I'm just not hungry like I was. I gotta force myself to eat a whole meal.Constantly tired. And my weight is excessively fluctuating!!)

please please please. I don't have many people to confide in when it comes to this kind of thing. I could really use some ears and shoulders to be on my side. :)

I have no idea what to tell you. I don't know how much a blood testis in the staes since in canada it's all free. What if you just went for "regular" blood tests and by chance they found out u were prego, would your insurance cover this???? That 3/4 days of brown bleeding could have been a period, but darker since you came off the bc. I'm not a doc so don't take my answer for sure but.... Good luck with whatever happens and let us know!
