Help please....

I am now 5 days late for AF....
I have had symptoms like nausea, gassy, bloated, spotting brown blood for 1.5 days but have taken like 4 hpt and all negative.

I am starting to feel more and more positve that i am NOT pregnant but now am worried why i am having symptoms like I am. I have heard of phantom pregnancies, but even I can't trick my body into spotting!!!
I have a doctors appointment for a blood test next thursday, but am thinking of not going and wasting my time as I must clearly not be pregnant..

Any thoughts ladies....would be much appreciated!

Getting the blood test done would not be a waste of time. It will give you the answer your after. Some people don't get positives for weeks after AF was due. Maybe this might be the same for you. Good luck.

Oh thank you - that has given me a bit of confidence!!!

I will go through to the docs next week and have blood test..

Is it common to have pregnancy symptoms before even getting a positive??

[Kazzo]

It sure can be. So many women test before AF is due because they get symptoms. Unfortunately so many pregnancy signs are like period signs and it can be confusing.
Either way if you have the blood test you will know for sure.
Are you periods regular normally?

[Roxy1245]

No unfortunately my periods are not regular as I only came of bc in April.

So having a missed period wouldn't have normally worried me - but getting the symptoms have gotten me thinkig! lol

I will just go to docs for a blood test and see for surE!
