18 days late for period and alittle light brown discharge

by rubbiesfire, Jul 20, 2003 12:00AM
I am 18 days late for my period, and then today I had some light brown dishcharge after some cramping, due to heavy lifting. I think I may be pregnant. (We want to be) However I have taken 3 pregnancy test and the first one was negative, the 2nd one had a very faint line and so did the 3rd test.



Here are some of my symptoms: Fatigue, lower back aches, missed period, dizzy, slight swelling, occasional naseau, cramping in lower stomach but only after over excerting myself.



AM I pregnant? or could this be a made up pregnancy in my head? and Does this brown discharge mean I am misscarrying?

I would go to the doctor and get a blood test. Sometimes the brown spotting could be implantation. Brown usually means old blood, but mention it to your doctor anyway : ) Good Luck!!

when does emplantaion usually take place exactly? like Day numbe rwise to the cycle?

implantation generally happens between day 21 and 24.  BUT, I know a ton of people who spotted during early pregnancy after those days.  Good luck.

Hi rubbies..



A faint line means you're pregnant.

(There's no such thing as kind-of pregnant).



Discharge doesn't always mean a bad thing, but if you're nervous, talk with your doctor.



And... DON'T lift heavy things-  A woman I know had a miscarriage that way.. Take care of yourself. :)



Congrats! And keep us updated.

I went to the clinic today, and the Urine Preg test was negative. I explained to them regardinghow late I am and the faint lines on my preg test. THE Ma just said I have had false positives. For me to either come back in a month and re test when I miss that period. She said they wont due a blood test till they have 3 negative urnine tests in their office or IF I go in to labor I can go to any EMERGENCY room. (Today was a very depressing day and I must admit I was knocked downa few pegs.. )

I am 18 dpo, 6 days late and have started having some light brown discharge when I wipe. As of yesterday I had taken 3 HPT all that say negative.  I spoke with Dr. today who told me that some women don't show on test right away. To wait and test sat or sun.  If I'm not pregnant and havn't started I'm supposed to call him on Tuesday when they open after Easter weekend.  Has anyone experienced this?  I am hoping I'm pregnant, but afraid it could just be stress.

I hope you found out some good new today. I am only 3 days late and i'm hoping I'm preg. I took a test on Friday which was the day i was supposed to start and it came back neg. I'm wondering how long I should wait B4 taking another one. I just recently had and IUD removed and it didn't mess up my perfect 30 day cycle last month. Wondering if that might be why i'm late.

I am a month late and I have not taken a test yet. I have little cramps, I get lightheaded, I feel like vomiting every now and then, I am always tired. Am I expecting or is it just stress?

Have you taken a test? Maybe you could call your doctor and have a blood test.
