Please Help!!!!

Hi,

Sorry this is probably the wrong section but I need some help.


My periods usually come at the same time each month give or take a day or two which is normally around the 20th, but this month I had a day mid cycle (the 12th) where I had a little bit of spotting nothing major only when I wiped. Then later when I had sex around the date when my period was due I had some more spotting the next morning again nothing major just some times when I wiped and it lasted a couple of days it was mainly brown and one was a little purple (sorry tmi) but wouln't have even been half a teaspoon.

I just thought I was getting my period but then it stoped and I still haven't got my period so it's now about 6-7 days late.
This has never happend to me before I never get spotting between periods and I certainly never get spotting after sex. I have had constant niggly lower abdominal/back pain during this time. I even have upper back around my left shoulder pain (don't know if related).

I have a doctor's appointment next week. But thought someone might have some ideas.

This ever happend to anyone? Any advice, I'm starting to worry a bit.

Thanks in advance

Sorry - I am not sure what to tell you, other than to do a pregnancy test. As you are now about a week late for your period, it should give you a definite answer either way. Other than that, you will have to wait for the doctor to shed more light on it for you. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but good luck!

I did do a test yesterday but it came up negative. Is it possible it could be wrong, or to early? With both my kids it came up before my period was due.

Obviously I am not an expert, but if you are a week late for your period, it should definitely come up positive if you are pregnant. There is the possibility it could be wrong though. Sorry I wish I could give you some better advice!

Sorry, I don't have any answers either! Hopefully your Dr will give you a BT so you can find out for sure what is happening. If you continue to have the shoulder pain please go and see someone about it ASAP.

Good luck

It's possible that the mid cycle thing delayed ovulation and your period is now due a bit later.

Also Different tests will show results at different times. I had a early + with no1 about 5/6 days before period due and it was pretty clear +. This time i still only had very faint + the day my period was due. Both were just as sensitive as eachother according to the packets. I stopped testing after that as + is + as the doctor said. She didn't even repeat the test when i saw her as i had to go to the doctor the next day anyway for other reasons.
