Brown spotting twice - still no period?

laurajamiept · July 2014

Hi all

I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything closely related to this before.

I came off the depo almost a year ago now and starting have regular periods from February.
They come every 26-27 days.
My last period was 11/06/14 I definitely ovulated last month (all the signs were there) and my partner and I took full advantage

Anyway on 04/07/14 I started spotting pink/brown colour and it lasted for 2.5 days and never progressed into a period.
Monday and Tuesday came and went (26/27 cycle) with no period.
I'm also not having mood swings or cramps where I have every other I've been due a period.
Yesterday I brown spotted again then nothing.
I've taken 2 pregnancy tests and both have been negative so far but I definitely feel different.
I'm fatigued, gassy and have been nauseous today.
As a Personal Trainer I'm constantly full of energy and eat super healthily but I've not been hungry at all these past couple of days and found myself forcing myself to eat.

I've got the Dr calling in the morning for some advice but thought I'd see if any of you ladies have experienced this?

Sorry. Negative test= not pregnant.

Negative test means not pregnant. How are you so sure you ovulated?

cateyes543 · July 2014

It is very hard to follow a list of dates...do you chart? Also, the one thing I can say is if you took a HPT and it said not pregnant, then you are not pregnant at this time. Are you tracking your BBT? You could have all the signs and no O, the only way to confirm O is with BBT. Check out the newbie blog, fertility friend, and TCOYF. All these resources will be of great benefit to you!

janda426 · July 2014

Damnit. I thought I was in my BMB.

My answer still stands

gscoville · July 2014

Too. Many. Dates and symptoms! Here's all I can offer you as I don't have the time to weed through that mess.

I spot lots before my period arrives, so yes, I've experienced brown spotting and weirdly timed/longer cycles.

I'm still not pregnant.

I take a test to know if I'm pregnant, and when it says negative I believe it.

If the 'symptoms' you're experiencing were due to pregnancy that would be more than enough hormones to turn a test positive - tests are very sensitive and detect extremely low HCG levels, much lower than the amount needed to start giving you true pregnancy symptoms.

Cycles can change for no reason at any time, our bodies are not machines that run like clockwork our whole lives.

You do not need to call or see your doctor, it's a waste of time and medical resources to do so at this point. Keep testing weekly until you either get your period, a positive test, or get to 60 days without a period.

That I have never experienced.

laurajamiept · July 2014

Not necessarily as it could be too early to tell, but I was only asking if anyone had experienced the same thing before.
I've called the DR due to complications in my last pregnancy and I'm just slightly concerned as I know my body pretty well and it's acting up that's all.
I tracked my BBT over the last few months.

laurajamiept · July 2014

I'm sorry I thought this was meant to be somewhere I could speak to women about what I'm going through and maybe get some friendly advice?

LOL at body not working like a robot = freaking out because "it's acting up" . Have you seriously never had your body do anything out of the ordinary, like, ever in your life? :-/

Kind of feel like maybe I shouldn't have said anything if I'm honest

Kind of feels like maybe you should have read the "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING" post right there at the top of this page before posting.

I experienced brown spotting when I was pregnant and got a BFP a couple days after that. Unfortunately that has nothing to do with you or your body.

Negative test = not pregnant at this time.

BillyHorrible · July 2014

How come every person who comes in here is

And yet has to ask questions about why their body isn't behaving like they think it should?

OP if you know your body, then you would know how and why your cycle does what it does. You would understand that ovulation "signs" mean nothing, and the length of your cycle is variable. You were off birth control for over 6 months before you had a "regular period," obviously your cycles change. You are basing the fact that your cycle is 26/27 days on 4 months. That sample size is so small!

Trampslikeus · July 2014

If you're not turning a test positive, you are not currently having pregnancy symptoms. Gas and appetite changes are just as likely symptoms of constipation or PMS. Sorry that's not what you wanted to hear.

Can you clarify your last period timing? Cause I'm super confused by the 11/06/14 number. A chart link would definitely be helpful

I think this is UK-style date-writing (day then month) - rather than time-travel!
