Possibly pregnant or possible medical problem?

knottiec54b765589545b7d

My last AF was the 29th of july and lasted 4 days like usual. A little context to my usual AF, I always bleed 4 days very heavily (since I began as a teenager) Bleeding through equipment by an hour. I always cramp **excrutiatingly**. (Going to the ER nearly every month for meds and IV fluids) 

I had sex earlier in the month and began testing early like an idiot. BFNs all around. 
I stopped testing and realized later I was 8 days late. Still didnt test. The next day I start spotting very lightly. I. Dont. Spot.
I though it was weird but left it be. I realized within an hour it stopped.
And then it began 😅 and stopped and started etc. For 7 days. It has FINALLY stopped but it was the **weirdest** period in my life. I spotted the whole time. Color varying at different times. But it didnt come out? It wasnt only when I wiped or put a tampon in that I noticed small amounts of blood.
I didnt cramp once. Not once. I felt okay all around except for the Occasional nausea. But that is it. My SO asked me to test the second day of spotting as even he knows that it was strange for me to not be stuck in bed. It had a ***VVVFL*** barely noticeable. Havent tested since
What in gods name could this be. A chemical? Miscarriage? Im not bleeding anymore but I'm still concerned on if I am even pregnant or I'm having my first screwy cycle?

Advice highly appreciated! Though I would prefer negative comments be kept to constructive criticism as I am stressed enough as it is 😅

@knottiec54b765589545b7d this really isn’t the right place to ask this kind of question for a couple of reasons:

1) There are a few things that you mentioned it your post that warrant a discussion with a your OB / medical professional ASAP. While collectively this community has a lot of personal experience, personal experience is all that is. 

2) We discourage one-of posts in this community; instead we encourage new members to join and actively participate in the daily and other threads, in the context of which, questions such as these can be asked. Having some background / knowledge of you and your TTC journey would make it possible for us to opine on your situation, but without it, there’s not much we can do. 

If you want to get started, just introduce ourself in the Newbie Intro threads and also lurk around to see how things work / where you might best fit in (we have TTCAL thread for anyone dealing with losses; IF thread for infertility; and TFAS thread for anyone trying for a sibling.)

I do hope you can get in to see/speak to your OB soon. And hopefully see you around here!

Sorry punkin, you won't be able to control how people respond to your post. 🤷

I do think your heavy, painful periods sound concerning and I would talk to a medical care provider about that.  As to the rest... ???  You may or may not be pregnant.  You may or may not be experiencing a loss.  Time will tell.  Test again in a few days and/or call your doctor.

GL, and if you are pregnant, no need to alert the TTGP board.  Feel free to move onto your BMB with everyone's best wishes...
