12 day late, husband had vasectomy, brown spotting

My husband had a vasectomy end of April. He did not go back to check. The doctor said the method she uses there is almost no chance of failure.  My cycle is usually 32 days or so.  I am 43 days from 1st day of last cycle start.  I am having a little brown discharge/spotting but nothing else.  My face is breaking out which it only does when I am pregnant or around my cycle.  No other symptoms.  Dh and I have 3 children already.  Do you think I am pregnant or something else? I bought HPT to take in the morning.
Thanks!

Well now I am 45 days past and I do feel nauseous, but I'm hoping that's just in my head!  I bought a really cheap pregnancy test and it was negative, but seriously what are the chances?!?! My husband is excited---crazy guy! We have three children and would be fine with another, but it would just be really surprising considering the odds.  I am still spotting brown-barely though.  I hate to go into the doctor since it's hard to find child care for my kids and a pain to schedule an appt.  If nothing happens in a couple more weeks I guess I will go.....
Totie: Keep me posted on what happens! Are you going to take a test?  Good luck to you!

I am having the same scare as you. Have not done the HPT yet though. My husband had a vasectomy about 8yrs ago. He did however go back for testing as required by his doctor. I am also 42 days from the last start of my cycle. Should have had one by now. I don't feel pregnant, nor do I think I am, but you NEVER know. My husband may not be shooting blanks anymore...

I did have my left ovary removed about a year ago due to a complex cysts.

If we are pregnant, it will be a shock, but I would look @ it as "God wanted us to have another one". We only have one child. 16yrs. We were just happy with one. But I am sure we would be just as happy if we have another one, are only fear is (twins), I am a twin...

its possible that the vasectomy didnt work and you are pregnant

or that you may have a fertility problem thats caused you to miss your period

go to the doctors they can do the right tests and find out
