I think I am pregnant, but since I am exclusively breastfeeding I don't know how long. I think I must be at least three months because I have been feeling something and I was watching my stomach move like I used to do with my daughter.
This morning I took a HPT and it came back neg. I think I may have a slight UTI and I don't know if that has any effect on it.
Also, how accurate are HPTs when you are farter along? Thanks.

Actually, at 3 months you wouldnt be feeling any movement yet, its too soon. Feeling baby's movement usually occurs between 15-18 weeks gestation.
The HPT should be able to pick up HCG levels, but if you need to be sure, call our doctor and set up a blood test for pregnancy, and a urine test for the suspeced UTI.
