brown loss on NOD

Bruinverlies can mean so many things unfortunately!
If I were you, I'd just take a test (I recommend the one from the Action, they cost almost nothing and are reliable).
And then wait a bit to see if your period comes, yes or no, assuming the test is negative of course
You can also contact the hospital about what you should do.
Good luck!

    Thanks for your reply!

    Do you recommend I take a test tomorrow morning or later?
    My last pregnancy was so long ago that I don't remember everything exactly
    It's all a bit nerve-wracking. You don't want to hope for anything, but then you start feeling and noticing things one by one in your body.. Amazing how we women are made haha

    Hihi I know all about it, it's such a weird phenomenon, getting pregnant!
    I'd just do a test tomorrow morning.
    If your (expected) period was due, you're pregnant and the brown discharge is indeed implantation bleeding, it should be positive.
    If it's negative, I'd wait a week and take another test. In the meantime, contact your gynecologist..
    Since you have irregular cycles, it could also be that your cycle is longer this time. Are you using any medication from the gyn?

    So I'll go grab two tests later
    With my son, I tested completely negative.. Never... I found out after 10 weeks via an ultrasound :| They thought then that it wouldn't work out but his heart did and still does fine

    I haven't started the medication yet, I have to come back next year so that I hopefully get pregnant somewhere in these 3 months or get a period. If the period comes, I need to have blood drawn on the 3rd day so that hopefully more clarity will come.
    If that's not the case, I'll get medication to ensure I ovulate every month at least.
    I called the gynecologist and according to the assistant, it's indeed wise to do a test first and otherwise wait for the period.
    She asked if I had typical symptoms
    Well, if you really want it, you feel everything! So you can't draw any conclusions from that

    Oh, nothing is as annoying as an irregular cycle. My longest was 73 days, so I feel you. With my first pregnancy, it was a neat 30 days. The first time I was overdue, I thought, yes, it's definitely on! What a letdown that was!

    With my first pregnancy, I also had light bleeding 2 days before my expected period, just like you. I put in a tampon and it came out without much blood. I took a test 2 days later and it was positive. No idea where the blood came from. They just call it implantation bleeding even though implantation probably happened a week earlier... so just test!! I'm rooting for a positive test!

    Exciting! Keep us posted?

    Oh wow, you're making it quite suspenseful, haha!
    An irregular cycle is indeed really annoying... I also thought I must be super pregnant, haha, but I didn't feel anything at all!
    Now I've had that brown discharge yesterday and today I've just been having cramps, but nothing's coming out yet. I keep running to the toilet 100 times to check, but there's simply nothing.
    My boyfriend would rather wait another day before testing. If I can hold out until tomorrow morning, I'll definitely do that, but there's a good chance I'll just grab a test anyway if nothing happens, haha.
    I also need to save my urine (ugh), but I'm not sure if it should go in the fridge or not? I first need to drop my son off at school and quickly pick up a test.. I didn't get around to it this afternoon.
    Once I've taken the test, I'll definitely share it with you all

    Haha yeah, and it doesn't say anything. I've had that happen before where it started like that and then suddenly my period came..

    I think you can just store it outside the fridge, but I think it needs to be closed. Otherwise, you'll have to look it up online.

    I felt nothing in this pregnancy, no real symptoms and no bleeding. I only had this feeling 2 days before the test, like yeah, it could be. Very weird.

    How old is your son and would this be your second child? And have you been trying for a long time?

    Hihi, I'm curious..

    Thank you so much!! I hadn't expected it at all and didn't dare trust my own feelings, so I was so surprised when it turned out to be positive right away!

    Wow little one, that's so exciting! Congratulations

    My daughter is 3.5 years old.

    That's so nice to read, little one! I know what it's like to not dare trust your gut. I had doubts too, and my husband was just as skeptical, but I'm glad it's all worked out well now. Congratulations!
