Grab a test! (For anyone wondering if they're pregnant)
in Pregnancy ·
Ugh, I honestly don't even know if I'm in the right place, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask—since when it comes to "how to tell if you're pregnant," I am a total idiot 🙈, and I’m holding off on taking a test until I'm sure it won't be too early and give me some bogus false negative (I'm already 5 days late)
So, here's the deal...
Two days after my period was supposed to start, I finally saw a tiny bit of spotting—just a few pinkish drops (usually it's more brownish, but hey, blood is blood)—and since that's how it usually kicks off for me, I went ham on the Advil because those typical cramps have been killing me for a day or two now, so I wasn't even doubting it was just my cycle starting
Then this morning, I woke up and there was absolutely nothing, not even a drop (and my flow is normally pretty decent), but I figured maybe it would just pick up later in the day...
It didn't show up at all by this afternoon, and it's been three days since then (even though those pains are still hanging around)
I've been reading up on spotting and implantation bleeding, and this feels like it might fall into that category, but I don't have any other symptoms besides my usual PMS crap... I know a test is the only way to get a real answer, but I'm gonna wait another day or two before grabbing one—so in the meantime, if anyone out there has dealt with similar weird aches, please drop some smart 😬
