My period isn’t necessarily late yet, I guess. I was supposed to get it yesterday and I’m extremely regular but on rare occasions I’m a couple days later than usual.

I’ve had little cramping here and there but only after I wake up from sleep or a nap and then I’m fine the rest of the day. They aren’t painful at all and feel more like a pressure or pulling.

I’ve been nauseous but I’ve mostly attributed it to perhaps having high progesterone this month?

The last thing that really is what made me suspicious is that I wear a pad for the days I might get my period so I don’t ruin my panties, and when I went to the bathroom later on in the day there was a weird thing in my pad. It was brown like blood from the end of my period, it was extremely thin, and a small enough amount that it almost could be mistaken for discharge. I’ve NEVER had that come before my period, and after almost eight hours I’ve had nothing else come out

And of course before I’m asked I did have unprotected sex with my fiancé. We usually use the pullout method. Yes I know it isn’t effective. We’ve been together for 7 years now and planned on trying for a baby after we got married this year so it would be a SUPER big deal if it were a bit earlier than expected.

I don’t wanna waste a test if I’m overreacting. Should i wait a few days until my period is later? Or is it okay to test now?
