Help!! Should I test?
On August 22nd I had what I thought was the start of AF 2 days earlier than expected. It turned out to be 4 days of on and off spotting, pinkish - brownish - and at times a rusty color and mixed with EWCM. It was never heavy enough to need more than a panty liner and there were virtually no cramps.
Since then I have been experiencing exceessive discharge, clear in color, an odd feeling of pressure or awareness in my lower abdomen (uterus), a few twinges around my ovaries, some brief episodes of burning or stabbing breast pain, and today I have barely eaten a thing because my stomach feels off, like the start of the stomach flu.
I don't want to test because I got a BFN 3 days before my spotting episode and I just don't want to see another one so soon.
However, I am currently taking Paxil, so it is important that if pregnant I have a med change asap.
So should I test again, or continue to hold off?
I almost want to say that I "feel pregnant" but then chances are

I would test again. But that's just me. I know it's hard to see bfn over and over. But you do need to be proactive if you're taking medication that you can't take pregnant.
If I had the symptoms you have I would test. I had those symptoms before and it was ectopic. It was a good thing that I tested when I did.
