Missed Period and Unusual Discharges

[Laniee]

Hey guys. I need some advice. I haven't had my period for well over a week now and I've been getting some brownish-black discharge on certain days, but no period. On other days, I've gotten a dark-yellowish discharge and I don't know why. I've also been having mood swings. Could I be pregnant?  If so, then why am I having these weird discharges?  Any advice will help.  Thanks in advance.

[Laniee]

And yes, in the past month, I've had sex with my long-term boyfriend.  We used condoms and we made sure he didn't *** in me.  The only thing that worries me is the abnormal discharge that occurs on different days.

[afraidnalone]

Are you saying that you got off your period a week ago, or that you are a week late?

Are you cramping? The first time I was pregnant, I missed my period, but had cramping...my doctor said that it was my uterus growing, and that its normal for first time pregnancys, sometimes second and third as well.....and yeah, when I was pregnant both times, I had a wierd discharge at first....sorry, thats all the advice I can offer.

[afraidnalone]

wait, you said black? Ive had brownish, thats old blood, but never had black.....

do you have any breast tenderness, thats also a sign I had early on, but everyones signs are different.

Take a test.

[Laniee]

Nope.. no cramping or breast tenderness.  I'm well over a week late, that's what I meant, sorry.

I've also had food cravings and recently gained about an extra 4-5 lbs.  

I'm just afraid...  oy.  If I take a test, are there any out there that anyone could recommend?

Hi, I am having the same thing.  Am on day 46 now so nearly three weeks late and we have been TTC.  I have been spotting on and off for the last three weeks though sometimes just brown muck and sometimes bright red.  Thought I had my period for a day but then nothing.  Am having a few cramps, most often very low down in abdomen and quite bloated so feel like I will get period.  I know I need to take a test but don't think I can be if I am feeling so pre-menstrual.....

HI guys

My husband and I had sex when I was ovulating and just a little before ovulation (I took a ovulation kit as I want a baby so bad) anyway my periods are due I think in about 4-5 days my cycle varies a little which I put down to my PCOS. I had a brownish discharge for about an hour 3 days which did not develop into my period and today I have noticed a lot of white discharge and some discharge that looks kind of yellow/green very pale sorry for so much glory detail lucky it is the womens section. Anyway I took a preg home test today and it came up negative maybe it is to early though, by my breasts are so sore and extra lumpy, I feel more tired than usual like I could sleep all day but I'm overcoming a virus to the heart so it is hard to know what is really causing the tirdness, and I'm going to the toilet more than usual. What do you guys think sounds like some of you are having similar symptoms, if I was three weeks overdue for a period I would def take a home test my sisters have both had a lot of luck with the brand discover one step and it is not a dodgy paper one like some home testing kits.

[Laniee]

You both also have similar symptoms as I.  I just realized that it's been over 2 weeks, not one.  And no period yet to dat.  I'm getting so tired now... and I'm eating so much.  For some reason, everything looks so delicious, hehe.  And also, my discharge is now what may be considered "normal"..  it's back to a light yellowish pale color..

I'm gonna get a p-test soon.. not aiming to have a child yet, but let's all hope for the best.

[Laniee]

Oh, and thanks wazza for recommending a brand! =D  I'll definitely look into it then.

Hi my period was due last week and instead of having my usual period I had a brown discharge and lower stomach cramps on and off. The day after the brown discharge I got a pink tinged spotting on the toilet paper when I wipe but no period. This has happened for a whole week and the spotting varies from brown to pink and so on. I have no pregnany symptoms but my period is usually right on time and I wouldn't call the spotting a normal period because I usually have heavy periods and this is just when I wipe, exept for yesterday I got 2 little spots on my panties when I sneezed I felt it come out but thats it. What do you guys think this could be? I took a home pregnany test 5 days into the spotting which made me 5 days late for my period and the test was negative but it was late at night when I took it. Do you think I am pregnant or something else? What else could be causing the brown/pink spotting? Thanks for your time, Brandy. If you would like to talk about this please email me at ***@**** :) I don't have insurance and can't afford to go the doctor.

Wazza, I to have pcos and i have been experiencing a lot of pregnancy symptoms, i'm am now 12 days late, i have been having nausea and vomiting, spotting on days 6 and 8, cravings, and frequent unrination.  I had taked 2 hpt's and neither worked i also had blood work done on day 8 and came up with nothing i must go back by this friday again to test.  I also heard that women with pcos can't use home preg tests that they won't work but i wanted to try anyway.  has anyone else ever heard that?  well good luck to everyone and babydust.

I am now 3 days late for my period. The first day of my last period was Dec 20 or 21st. sice then, I have had ligth brownish discharge and cramps. Several days ago I had a yeast infection. I haven't had a yeast infection in like 15 years. What is up with that. I need some advice. I would be slightly happy if I was pregnant, but my husband would not be happy at all. What to do. Am I pregnant, or am I crazy. I took 2 pregnancy tests the first day of my missed period and it came out negative. Does anyone know what is wrong with me?

[laureneframe]

The last time i got my period was nov 22 05. I took a pregnancy test the week after I was supposed to get my period, and another a week later and then another! they all came out negative but now it has been 2 months, and i should have gotten it in january and missed it again. now for the past two days i have been having slight brown/red discharge and cramps low down in my abdomen. I am still very infrequently nursing my 20 month old. i thought that might contribute to me missing my period but it has been on time every month since april. does any one have a similar story or any advice?

[babyitalia]

I am a week late for my period.  My last period was 7/20/07.  Today is 8/29/07.  My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex on 7/29 and 8/12 bith days that were not prime for ovulating.  Over the past month I lost 10 pounds and was extremely stressed at the end of July.  I am having cramps and a brownish and pinkish spotting its very light.  Could I be pregnant?  Am I missing my period because of 10 pound loss in a month?

[truthspeaks2007]

When you had intercourse 2 days before the end of your period, do you classify that is being off or on your period?  And the 3 days afterwards when you had intercourse again, did that include the 2 days before your were officially done menstrating? A couple times I have had intercourse on the 6th day of my period (when there is less then a dime-size amount of  brownish discharge) and I will start bleeding full force again right after intercourse (bright red blood) for another 24 to 48 hrs. Which prolongs the period!

[Lele01]

i hadd intercorse just bout everyday including the first two day of my period. the last two days i had intercourse i was still on my period and then 3 days after everything was completly stopped!!! im am also wondering if i could be prego and that jus be some spotting from conception cuz it takes what 5-6 days after conception to spot i think im not sure though what do yew think?
