Really weird - late - period

[Kamarine]

I feel a bit silly for posting this, but my period is really weird.

I got it yesterday about 2 weeks late.
I've had it religiously four weeks ever since Nao was born, even whilst breastfeeding. I finished breastfeeding when she was 5months. And since then period's been unchanged.

I took a test around ten days ago - negative. (Just in case.)

It came yesterday really heavy. Like I had to change my sheets last night heavy. Heaps more painful than usual.

The thing that really concerns me is my breasts started leaking milk. I've never had this happen in regards to my period. Even when I was breastfeeding, it usually resulted in a significant drop in my supply.

Anyone have any idea what this is or if I should see a doctor or something? I'm not exactly sure what it is, if anything?


Thanks.

I never got a positive pregnancy test. But I had a bunch of signs.
My breasts had swollen up and were sore. Had some nausea. Tiredness. All signs I had with the girls.

I'd mentioned this to someone and they said maybe an early loss.

I don't know. I'm confused.

To me, it sounds like a possible early loss babe

Thanks PZ.

It feels like that. But I keep wondering if I'm allowed to act like it was a loss without knowing 100%. Even though I have this horrible feeling.
Am I allowed to grieve something that I didn't know I had without confirming it?

OFCORSE you are! I have had two chemical pregnancies, one got a super faint line on a hpt and bleeding a few days later, one I just knew. And I greive for them, acknowledge them and celebrate the brief time they were with me. Every pregnancy, no matter how brief, is special. I'm sorry you're going through this But know that you have every right to feel whatever you want.

Of course you can grieve sweetheart. Like PZ said, sometimes you just know. I'm so sorry you are going through this.
