Pregnancy Info HOME

Does a short period mean pregnancy? I had a normal period July 4th. I had unprotected s_x with boyfriend on July 13 - 15th without him pulling out several times. Since I've been having pregnancy symptoms. Slight cramping mostly on the right side of uterus, tired, headaches, increased sense of smell, back aches, hip pain, slight br___t pain, nausea (gagged a few times) and hot flashes, feeling twinges and pinches only on the right side of my uterus (never happened before). I took hpt on the day before, the day of and the day after AF (August 1) was due, all negative. 3 days later I had a 1 ½ period, normally my period last about 5 days. My pregnancy symptoms continued after my short period along with very mild cramps, sore br___t, mild hip pain, mild lower back pain and some pulling sensations under belly button. Took another hpt on August 13 and it was negative. My sciatic nerve pain was so bad that I called my OBGYN because a few months ago my doctor through a physical exam suspected that I might have endo, so I thought due to having really painful hip, lower back and sciatic never pain I thought the endo had spread. I told them over the phone what’s been going on with me these last few months and they don’t seem to think that my 1 ½ day period was a “period” and told me that all the hpt I took my have been taken too early. They urged me to go in early last week to take another pregnancy test and was told if that come out negative that they would send me to go get a blood test because my hcg levels may be low. Since my 1 ½ day “period” was on August 4th my next period would be due that past Saturday. I decided to wait until after this weekend and see if I get my next period and if so what it’s like. I did start bleeding Monday morning and by Tuesday afternoon it turned into very light spotting and it’s almost gone today. So I’m confused is there a chance I can be pregnant? Side not: I had an ultrasounds (internally too) back in April and it should nothing unusual. Had several blood tests including for thyroid and they all came back normal.
