Okay so i already suspect i may be pregnant but this has me stumped..?!


Question: Okay so i already suspect i may be pregnant but this has me stumped..?
Okay so I'm already more than a week late for my period, the day i was supposed to start my period i got brown discharge like at one little short moment, there was a lot of it (there are more symptoms but i won't get into that considering that's not what this is about) Tonight i went to the restroom and when i wiped there was brown on the toilet paper (I've been watching for my period, that's why i was looking at it) it doesn't smell and i almost want to say it's more brown discharge but it doesn't look the same as before. does anybody know what this may be?

Answers:

If you're a week late for your period, this brown discharge could be what's called implantation bleeding. That's when the egg implants into your uterus.

But it could also signal the beginning of your period. These other symptoms that you are having...do they point towards pregnancy symptoms?

If so, then I would recommend taking a home pregnancy test first. You've already missed your period, and most home pregnancy tests these days are pretty reliable. That way, you will find out without the expense of a blood test. Home pregnancy tests are for use after you have missed a period (which you said that you have), so the result should be accurate. If you do a home kit, I would suggest taking it first thing in the morning, when your HcG levels will be the highest (a hormone released in pregnancy).

Then, if it's positive, you can call your doctor or OB/GYN to confirm and get started on a schedule for prenatal visits, etc. If it's negative, you can retake the test, or just get an appt with your doctor/gynecologist to find out if there's some sort of problem.

I don't know your symptoms or situation, but that's what I would do...it saves $$ by not having to have lab work done and you still get to find out.

Best of luck to you!



It sounds like blood. Get a pregnancy test just to be sure.

Can you help me with mine?



Brown is nearly always old blood. It's no big deal. Perhaps your period was just light and late.

When can you take a pregnancy test? Do so soon.

Best wishes.
