When is a Period not a Period?

My period was due on CD27, Tuesday.

Today is Friday, CD30. No period, well I don't think so anyway.

Sorry if TMI, but I thought it was coming this morning when I wiped, as the urine was browny coloured.

I had spotting around 10dpo (CD22) and I have never had spotting before, even when pregnant.

I used a Clearblue pregnancy test on CD26, but it was negative. The instructions state that it can be used from the DAY of your missed period. So I was a day or two early. I did the test because I was curious as to the spotting and got kind of hopeful.

If I am UTD it would be a miracle as we aren't trying any longer - we have given up, and we actually avoid sex around ovulation time - quite the turnaround huh! Therefore I haven't been counting my cycle days, I only know where I am at for this cycle as I had a meeting earmarked in my diary for which AF arrived on the same day, so I remember when CD1 was.

This is very strange for me as I am like clockwork when not on any fertility medications.

Thoughts?

Hey Mae, you don't have your period until you get a red flow. Good luck!

Hi Mae, nice to see you on here again. Give it a few more days, my AF was a couple of days late this month, I put it down to the stress of the earthquake.   If its not here in say 2 more days I'd flag the pg test, just go straight to the doc for a blood test. Then at least you know one way or another.
Its awful being in limbo land hey - I hope you get your answer soon

I always know when I OV, it's quite obvious to me. . I know my body very very well! When I spotted I worked backwards through my diary and worked out my CD1 and knew which was my OV day as it's the same every month and I know the 'signs' - it pays to when we are trying to avoid getting UTD.

I have been thinking about you lately hun.. nice to see you around!

From what I have read, IB is "supposed" to be pink and very light and on one day but from what I have seen on here.. it can be somewhat like a light AF over a couple of days.

I hope you get some answers soon and they are the ones you want!

Hi Mae, it's really nice to see you again.

It sounds very possible it's IB. But as you know all too well, all you can do is wait for it to be confirmed, or for AF to arrive. I'm sorry I don't have anything more helpful to add.

I hope things work out for the best for you!

Hey Mae babe test again. FX this is your time

False alarm!!! And I am not sad - because were weren't TTC. Thanks for all the answers, and it has been good to touch base with old friends on here!
