I took a pg test when I was 3 days late it was a BFN. I havent taken one since and expected AF to show its face. Thing is it hasnt, and I spotted or I wouldnt even call it that, like I used a pad but it didnt show on the pad all it did was show when I wipe. I figured that AF was here but it was gone by that afternoon, yesterday the same thing but it was like a brownish and than when I went to wipe again it was getting a little redder, and than it was gone. It did it again today. Since I have started AF I have never ever spotted at all. And I was having cramping on one side it stopped and now its back. Its like a 2 sec cramp on my right side and its gone. It does that throughout the entire day. That started back up early this morning and has been doing it all day. At times I feel like I have to pee all of the times but others I dont if that makes any sense at all. I didnt get any kinda of morning sickness with the first child, in fact I didnt really have any pg symptons with my first child. Should I wait to make an apt and see if AF shows or should I make an apt with my dr? I wanna take another test but dont wanna see a BFN. If I can get some opions it would be great! Thanks!

Hi,

If it's been 5 days since you got a BFN, and af hasn't shown up yet, I think it would be okay to take a test. Of course you could wait a couple more days and see if the spotting lets up. If you don't want to see a BFN, you could make an appt with the dr, and if af shows you could cancel it. If af doesn't show the dr can figure out why.

Your last post said your DH thought he saw a faint line, if it was a faint line, it should be darker by now.

Are you charting? Do you know when you O'd?

Good luck!

Thank you for responding to my post! No I dont chart, we were doing it every other day in hopes! I havent spotted recently, when I did it was about 4 days and it was like when I wiped it was there and that was it. It was just a little nothing too major, and it was gone as fast it was there! I made an apt cant get in until Nov 9th. And than about 2 days I got that brownish discharge and the bloating omg I swear I am bloated day in and day out! The cramping is usually on one side but its been going through the whole abdomin like AF cramps but no AF showing up. I dont want another BFN and I dont wanna look too much into the things I told you about. So I dont know, I am thinking of doing another test Friday morning and go from there! If still BFN I am going to see if I can make an apt with another dr and see what is going on. It just bothers me that the last 4 mos Oct would have been the 5th month if AF showed that I was on time every 28 days around the same time of the day also. Thanks a lot!

I had this same problem last cycle. I got AF every 5th week like clockwork since Jan, then all of a sudden last month it never showed up. So I tested a few times, giving a few days inbetween and all were negative. I went to see my doctor who did an ultrasound. He told me I just did not ovulate that month due to my PCoS and gave me provera to bring on AF. I hope for you this means you are indeed pregnant. I looked it up at the time and found that it is possible for some to become pregnant and not get a positive test for a long while. It could be a faulty test batch.

So, your best bet is to get to the doctor ASAP and find out what exactly is going on. If you are pregnant perhaps the hormones are abit low. If that is the case the doctor can give you meds to help, but the sooner the better. Good luck and let us know.
