My period was 1st of june and ended the 26th of june ( long time to be bleeding) after the end of period my bf and I had sex right after but we had anal sex without protection. Then we had sex again (normal) unprotected the 5th of july and again on the 6th. Now I have been having cramps on my right side of the pelvis, its swollen alittle and last but not least I started spotting alittle bit of red and then started brown spotting on the 10 of july and I'm still spotting. I have took the hpt night before yesterday it was negitive. I took one yesterday morning and I got a faint pregnancy positive then I took another that same night I got a Negitive then again the morning another negitive. Mind you my period shouldn't be here for another few days or so....... what should do should I wait longer then take another hpt or should I just got get a blood test? Please help
Hey I'm new to the forum and I'm in need of some advice, some information, something. I have a 28 day cycle and my last period started on june 22nd and lasted 5 days... my boyfriend and I aren't trying to conceive (even though if I am pregnant I know I and he will be excited) We've been having unprotected sex since then. Just about 3 days ago I started getting some very small cramping that almost feel like pms cramps but they don't hurt... and I've had them for 3 days straight off and on. I took a pregnancy test yesturday and it came out negative... and i'm expected to have my period in a week and a half... but I've never had cramps this early before my period. I've done SOME research and read online that it could possibly be implantation cramps, but I havn't bled at all or had any type of discharge. I felt a little bit naseous the past couple days also, but not to the extent of puking. I'm just looking for some type explanation. I can't really afford to go to the doctor at this moment. I mean if I keep getting negative results and I feel the same I definitly won't hesitate about going. I've never have conceived before and I have no idea what to look for or do.. Any help would most definitly be appreciated. Thanks :)
I am feeling very discouraged. I can pinpoint the date of conception if it happened. June 14th. I did a hpt last week it was neg. did another one this week, neg. but when i count the weeks from the only day that I could have conceived it is only just 4 weeks now. According to the "books" week 1 is the first day of your last period. which would make me 6 weeks. This makes no sense. If I go by the day that I feel i may have conceived then i should wait another 2 weeks to test!! I am so sure I have conceived. I have been having some symptoms of bloating, mild headaches, abdominal pressure, dizziness, nausea, my sense of smell seems to be more acute. and my period was due June 29th, and on the 26th i had some brown spotting but only when I wiped. that lasted 2 days very little. I dont know, maybe its just wishful thinking. I have been praying for 3 years for this miracle and maybe its all psychosamatic. when should I test when I feel Im at 6 weeks?????
I need to know, am I really pregnant. I had sex almost to my last period, which was suppose to happen around June 7th and I had sex on 4th. After that I didnt get period till now (This month also the same no periods yet). And 11th of July which is yesterday I have done hCG(home test) test and it was negative ( This was after 5 weeks from when I had sex). Am I really pregnant or are there any reasons for my period stop. Please help, Thanks.
