Could I be pregnant or have had an early miscarriage? I am sexually active and we are not using any contraception. I had my last period on October 18th. My period averages from 32-33 days. I expected my period to come on the 18th of November but It didn t come. I became 8 days late and during those eight days I was having increased discharge, nausea and lower back pain. I was also peeing more frequently. I took a home pregnancy test and it was negative. On the 9th day the back pains grew a bit stronger and I started cramping. I went to use the bathroom and when I wiped I had pink/brown blood on the tissue. I put on a panty liner just in case It started to get heavy. During the day it got slightly heavy so I put on a pad. The next day I tried to put in a tampon. When I went to go take the tampon out, it was painful. When I got it out there was only brown blood on the tip on the tampon. Nothing else. So I put on another panty liner.. My normal period is nothing like this. I always start off heavy my first two days and it becomes light as it comes to an end. It usually lasts 7 days. I have still been having on and off lower back pains and nausea. Should I take the test again just in case I tested too early the first time? What if its still negative? Could this be a change in my period or an early miscarriage? Im just so confused and worried.
