Hiya,
I'm new to this, I'm seeking some much valued advice/help.
3 1/2 weeks ago I accidently messed up my birth control pills. I extended my 7 pill free day by one day as I didn't take the last pill in the packet. I then missed one a week later. I am due for my period one week from now.
8 days ago experienced very painful nipples for about 4 days which then developed into very tender breasts (mainly on the outer side).
I went to the doctor 5 days ago. She said my breasts were 'engorged' (does this mean suspected pregnancy in the medical world?) and to take a pregnancy test in 10 days.
I have had cramps for two days, which feel like period pain two weeks before my period, and had a brown discharge after intercourse with my partner. I also had heart palpitations last week which my doctor suggested may be due to stress. I also discovered some rather lovely dry, elasticy discharge the day after intercourse. (Sorry if thats tmi)
I took a pregnancy test one day ago ( I know this is too early but I couldn't resist) which came back negative.
I have about another 8 days before I can take a test that will show reliable results and I would like to know asap. The thing that is really playing on my mind is what my doctor said about my breasts being 'engorged'. I know I should have asked what she meant but my mind was a bit blank to be honest.
Thank you in advance.x
