k2bdeutmeyer Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 First of all, let me say that I'm not TOO concerned about this, but being as though it is VERY unusual for me, I am a little. Approx 8-10 days ago I had a 1/2 of a day of yellow (like nasty cold, snot yellow) discharge. I've never had this before, and decided to just see what happened. Two to three days later I had brown (like old blood) discharge and assumed my period was on it's way. It never came. The next day, and every day since I have had both brown discharge and red blood tinged mucus. I have never spotted before in my life. This is HIGHLY unusual for me. Should I be concerned?? I have no other symptoms of anything unusual (no itching, burning, pain, etc...). And, since I know somebody will ask....I have NO IDEA when my period is/was due. I'm still nursing DS and they are rather sporatic. I know it's got to be close to time if not past it though. Anyway....thanks in advance for all your input!

Momma2Many66 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I'd take a pregnancy test. These were my sympthoms when I found out I was pregnant with my 5th child (I was also still nursing my toddler at the time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisamarie Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 :iagree: Either your period is about to come back or you're in need of a pregnancy test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2bdeutmeyer Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Well, I should say that I've been having fairly regular periods (give or take 5-8 days each month) since October or November. I'm terrible at keeping track, but know that my last one has been long enough ago that I can't remember when it was, LOL! I just asked DH (he usually remembers) and he said "usually it's like the last week of the month", but says for sure it was before the 4th of July.

k2bdeutmeyer Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 If I had any in the house, I totally would. I'm a bit compulsive when it comes to POAS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 bumping up for the day crew in case anyone else has additional thoughts! thanks! Other than going out to buy a pregnancy test? Nope. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I agree about buying a test. Like now. We will wait. :toetap05: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2bdeutmeyer Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Okay, so I have a thought on that front......I really think it would be highly unlikely to be pregnant. DH has a spinal cord injury and rarely **ahem** finishes. I know he didn't at all in the last month. I know he doesn't necessarily HAVE TO for me to be pregnant, but it seems much more unlikely. ETA: I'm a photographer and have a session at 10am this morning, so I won't be able to go anywhere until after that :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisamarie Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 This would be why the pulling out method is not exactly effective. Just ask my friend with 4 kids why this method doesn't work. :tongue_smilie: Wasn't until baby #3 was conceived that she discovered the error of her ways while we were discussing it one day.

ETA: I'm a photographer and have a session at 10am this morning, so I won't be able to go anywhere until after that :( Is that a new injury, as in since your last child? Cause if not, it seems like he has done a good job three other times now. :lol: Seriously though, sounds like it could be implantation bleeding. :D Agreeing with the pps, get a pregnancy test, and don't forget to let us know how it turns out. You know how nosey we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2bdeutmeyer Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Not a new injury, but the other 2 (my oldest is not his) were the result of 2-3 months of trying with several "finishes" around the appropriate time. I'm probably going to head to the store this afternoon....kids in tow though, so that might be a bit interesting to pull off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepymommy Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I'm going to suggest getting checked out for a bacterial infection. You don't have to have symptoms of burning to have it and your other symptoms seems similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zookeeperof3 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 You could be ovulating. I ovulated with that kind of discharge when I was nursing. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2bdeutmeyer Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 I *usually* get ovulation pain.....significant ovulation pain. I don't have that right now, not that I couldn't be ovulating, but.... And, I've never had it before with ovulation. Again, not that that necessarily rules it out.

AnneGabe Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Those were the symptoms I had with pregnancy so another vote that that's a possibility. Mostly I'm replying so that I can check in later after you've taken a test :D I love your profile picture, do you blog your photography?
