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!

Thanks for your help :)

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.

try a different brand? or ask ya Dr to do one
