Q: Needing Your Expert Advice

Hey there
:d
i really need you advice, if my period is late I always start thinking i'm pregnant and I never am, and get really disappointed, but this time its different.
My period is due in about 4 days, but it never comes on the date its supposed to, always 2/3 days before or after, and this time i'm feeling really strange, my lower back is killing me, my boobs are so sore at night I can't lay on my front as its so uncomfortable, i've got some cramps, but they don't seem the same as usual, these things usual happen around the time of my period but never this much.
Am trying not to over react as everytime something like this happens I always get let down because al the tests i've down in the past have been negative, but its quite hard not to think about it as I feel so strange.
I've also found some pinky/brown really light discharge type stuff when i've gone to bathroom, normally this means my periods are about to start but this spotting has been going on for 3 days now and theres nothing.
Only today I read about the implantation bleeding and needless to say i'm getting more obsessed that i'm pregnant
should I do a test now? Whats your thoughts? :? :d

Mmm
Hiya, I couldn't resist doing a test and like always it came out negative.
And this morning that little bit of spotting I had was a little bit heavier althougth still off colour, I thought it was my period but now its stopped again, I got a pack of 2 tests, so I think I will wait till my period date has past.
This is really bugging me coz if i'm not pregnant, whats wrong?, my periods have always been a bit irregular but i've never had spotting for what is 4 days now and nothings happened :?
I haven't told anyone about this, even my husband doesn't know, coz he'll say i'm just over reacting (which I could be) but i've never felt these pms symptoms so strong before, and yesterday I felt nausea all day
anyway i'll wait a see, if anyones got any advice i'd really appreciate it, as like I said before i've only told u gals on here :)

Symptoms rarely show up really strong like that until your are further along. You may be pregnant but at the same time you may just be stressing yourself out which is causing your period to be different. When I was trying to get pregnant I was so desperate to and it seemed like every month I noticed so called "symptoms" and peed on a stick only for it to result in a negative and then finally start after much disappointment. I know how you feel really wanting to be pregnant, it will happen for you it just takes time. Try to wait a few days past your missed period though I know its hard to do. I tried for 4 years to get pregnant and the month that I succeeded in it was the month I was on a "break". Good luck when you do take the test I hope you get what you want.

I know that the symptoms seem really strong so early, i'm telling myself this all the time, just trying to ignore them, get on with it etc... But last night for example, I was out with friends like every sat night, and I couldn't do anything, u know that feeling in your stomach when ur nervous, u get butterflys etc, well that feeling along with constant back ache, made it absolutly impossible to ignore.. :?
My spotting is just the same, hasn't increased, and this has been like this since monday :? , am willing to accept that I might not be pregnant, means I can have a fun summer, without worries etc, but i'm worried that if i'm not then what the hell is going on with my body, its a really bad trick my bodys playing on me at the moment hehe.
I did another test this morning, as I recalculated my period and realised that its not that my period is coming 3 days early every month but that i've got a 29 day cycle, silly me, so today should have arrived, needless to say it was neg, now i'm just gonna wait, nothing more I can do at this time, maybe I should have waited before, but like I said, the stomach and back ache is just impossible to ignore, so curiosity got the better of me hehe.
Well think i've said enough for now, I really appreciate ur reply!!!
