Needing some advice...
I will be two years out from surgery in August. My surgeon gave me the go ahead and try to get pregnant in January. My husband has been deployed since last August and won't be home until this coming August. BUT we got to see each other for his R&R in Italy at the end of January.
So my period started on January 24th and then I arrived in Italy, still on my period on January 26th. We were there until the 11th of February. During that time I did ovulate and we did have unprotected sex. I had some signs of pregnancy and my doctor even wondered if maybe I had another chemical pregnancy. But she did a pregnancy test in the office with urine about 2 days after my period was due and it was negative. She told me that I was not pregnant and that it would show if I was. I never actually got a period during that month..at least not what I am use to. I had spotting off and on for a week..one day it was heavier spotting and I used a pad, but that was the only day and I really could have used a panty liner. Only one as well.
So the week after that ended I took another test at home and it was negative, so I just went on with life as usual.
Well in March my period was 4 days late. (not normal for me) Before Italy my period was coming every 28 days like clockwork.
I wasn't really too crampy and it wasn't as heavy as usual, but I didn't think anything of it.
Now my period is 6 days late and there are no signs of it even coming..not normal for me.
My boobs do hurt and I have this sharp off and on pain in my vaginal area...but no period. First sign for me is always leg and back cramps and breaking out. None of that.
I have been getting headaches and I have been dizzy though and just that strange pain in my lower abdomen/vaginal area..
So I don't really know what to do at this point. Everything was normal before I went to Italy. Now everything is just out of whack and I am just worried about what is going on with my body since we do want to try when he gets home.
Has anyone had any similar experiences or any advice on what I need to do?
Thanks!

Have you done a home pregnancy test this time? I took several dollar store tests starting 2 days after I missed my period. they came back faintly positive for a week or so, then it got really dark. (they all showed positive to some degree)
Maybe the trip really did throw your body out of whack. It could happen.
Best wishes!
