Pregnancy signs or not?

Hello,

I’m new here. My husband and I have been TTC for some time now (like over 6 months) and I have a regular period. So I was expecting my period today (29th August), however, on Monday (26th August) I experienced some very light bleeding when I went to use the toilet in the morning and it stopped almost immediately. This has never happened to me before. Yesterday (28th Aug ) I experienced a lower back pain I have never experienced before and by night fall, the pain had subsided. My boobs has also been extremely painful and slightly swollen (or is this in my head) . I am a bit confused as to if I am pregnant or not. I took a pregnancy test yesterday and today and it’s come back negative. I am so anxious and really want a BFP.

wait a few more days then test again. Could be the stressing about trying to get pregnant is playing with your periods. This use to happen to me - I would bleed lightly then it would stop then 3 or 4 days later I would come on properly. If you are having problems conceiving go to the doctors as there is a long waiting list for IVF on the NHS if that is something you would consider. Your doctor will recommend what to do next.

Thank u. I will wait few more days and test again. I have been avoiding the stress and trying to take things in its stride. I have spoken to my go and said I should come back at the end of the year if nothing happens by then.

This used to happen to me when I was ttc with my partner. I'm in my mid to late 20's and it took me 2 years to finally get pregnant. When I knew I was ready I put an extreme amount of pressure on myself and kept thinking there was something wrong with me because I wasnt getting pregnant. GP can help your partner out if its been a year of unsuccessful trying as they'll send him for sperm analysis. All I would say is, and I know its easier said than done, avoid getting stressed! I quit all the timing and using apps to gauge fertility etc and after then I just enjoyed regular sex with my partner and it finally led to a gorgeous baby. He used to get so annoyed with me when I was like "we need to try tomorrow" etc. Have regular sex and enjoy it and you'll get pregnant soon enough.

Thank u. I was like that as well, I mean using the app and clearblue ovulation test and all that. But I stopped using all those about 2 months ago and tried to take it off my mind. Keep the focus on myself and partner and then all that happened (I mean my initial post). So I am really hoping for a bfp.
