No Cramps w/AF an Early Preg sign??

hi, i took 2 HPT's earlier this month. both of which were BFN's. however, my period has the exact same symptoms every month. about a week or 2 before AF i will have very swollen and sore bbs. which last until the last day of my period. swollen to the point  that i have "period bras" because they dont fit in my others.  i get diarreah on the 1st day EVERY month. sometimes until the 3rd day. AF only lasts 3 days, but is extremely heavy, with blood clots. it is usually red-burgundy in color. and from the time i notice it until it is over it never goes to light or spotting. just a very heavy flow. i HAVE to change my tampon every time i go to the bathroom, and usually have to change  it even when i dont need to pee. my cramps are horrible. many times i cant go to work, or even get out of bed! this month we tried to get pregnant, and i was hoping that maybe the fact that i did not have any cramping at all was a sign that i was pregnant. AF was due around the 29th,(it is not completely reg. varies from 25-35 days) and sure enough it came. but it did not come strong. i wiped and noticed a light, bright reddish color mixed with  darker brownish tint. i currently have a UTI, and i used a tampon which was uncomfortable. when i changed it i noticed there was literally nothing on the tampon. it was after a long sleep so i was expecting for it to be soaked.  i actually  slept with a thin panty liner last night because of the UTI. and this morning nothing but a pinkish color on the TP when i waped. i put in a tampon, and have not checked it yet. but i still have absolutely NO cramping or sore breasts or anything. my boobs dont seem to be swollen either. bottom line is has anyone heard of reverse symptoms?!

thanks. i am pretty sure it is af too. oh well, i am just going to focous on my career for now, and try, but not be as obsessed with it. i mean, i have a registry for girls and boys items, and everything. maybe if i dont worry about it, it will happen.

to me it sounds just a period...not every period we get is always the same! i had that happend to me once and i thought it could have been implantation too when i found out i was no near on being preg. my OB told me that the brownish color blood could be just old blood from last months cycle i dont want to sound negative but i really think its just AF, but good luck.

thank you! i used a tampon today.. just took it out. it was barely anything. maybe implantation bleeding. last hpt was taken last tues after i went 2 the doc for my UTI. thought they would give me 1, but they did not so i broke down and took it. bfn. i was sucking my tummy in, and it feels weird. like my bladder is large and hard maybe? from the UTI?

If you use tampons you just aren't able to see how much flow is actually there.  You wouldn't want to dry it out up there if your pregnant----moist cervical tissue just seems healthier for pregnancy.
Maybe it is just me :)
Still hoping for a BFP for you!!!!!!!

It sounds like to me that you are having implantation bleeding.  You should avoid tampons until you are positive you are not preggers.
I say go get another HPT--- I am guessing it is a BFP!
Good luck, and keep us posted :)
