Help please - late period?!
Question: I'm usualy never late, even when I'm stressed. Now I'm six days overdue and I feel awful. I'm bloated and really tired. I feel like I've had PMS for two weeks (I have a really bad time with pms anyway) except that my usual chocolate cravings aren't present, I've actually lost the taste for sugar. I don't think I'm pregnant, my husband and I practice withdrawal (I know, not the most secure method of contraception) and I've had a small amount of brownish discharge.
I have been stressed recently but, like I said, that doesn't usually affect my period. Do I need to see a doctor? Take a pregnancy test? just wait for it to start in its own time? I just really want to get rid of this due feeling, any advice or wisdom greatfully recieved!

you sound worn out - maybe your body is changing - and you are late because you are too stressed!! our body changes all the time. I would get a pregnancy test just to be sure - and if you are pregnant - congratulations. But get on top of whats wrong.... see your doctor.... might be something medically wrong... your body might be needing something...

I would suggest taking a pregnancy test. Although if you are experiencing a brown discharge, your period might be closer than you think. Wait another day or so, and if you don't get your period, take a test. Drink lots of water in the meantime, it will help with the bloated feeling. Caffeine will help with any cramps.
Take a pregnancy test you sound pregnant to me. The brownish discharge could be intermitted bleeding which is a sign of pregnancy. TAKE a test then see a doctor.
Good luck.
