Question

Am I pregnant?

So, my period is 6 days late. It was supposed to start Saturday the 25th. I have a very predictable period. It's always 28, maybe 27, days from the last day of my previous period and never, ever late. Yesterday, I took a HPT and it was negative. But I still feel....off. I've done research, of course, and found I have some symptoms. I've been having a white discharge the past few days. I'll swear my period started but when I check, its just the discharge. I've also been having ridiculous bouts of loose stools. I've changed my diet and nothing helped. Two days ago I had some cramps and thought my period finally arrived...but of course nothing. I've read that the hormone the tests detect can be really low for some women. Or maybe I tested too soon? Even though my period is 6 days late, its only been 3 weeks since I last had intercourse. Maybe its late implantation?

I'd really like some advice on this. Anything helps at this point!

Sounds like you are!! Feeling like you have your period and then finding its discharge is a good sign, also if it is milky. The cramps are also an early sign. Have you tried diff test brands? It does seem odd that you are 6 days late and getting a neg. loose stools can also be a sigh because digestion changes, quickens I think, and new hormones cause havoc. Can you go to doc for blood, that should give you an answer

I would not jump to any conclusions nor run to the doc for a blood test, as they are very expensive unless you have amazing insurance that totally pays for everything. The number one reason for AF being late is ovulating late. It can happen even if you usually have regular cycles. You may have also had an anovulatory cycle, which many healthy women have once in a while. Loose stools are not a common pregnancy symptom (constipation is more likely), although it can happen. Late implantation, not really...a fertilized egg can only really successfully implant 6-12 DPO, any later and it almost always miscarries. Although if you do not temp/BBT chart, you don't really know when you ovulated. So late ovulation is my guess, and I would just be patient and see what happens within the next week. GL!
