missed period-negative tests-cramps :(

[Confuzed612]

same old story as mostly every1 else. my last period sept 8-10 (very short) i have very regular periods NEVER miss for anything.. had sex on the 18th and the 22nd (multiple times both days & i dont remember if we used condoms every single time..) mild cramps off and on since then- no period yet since then.. kinda nauseous every now and again no vomit.. i feel "full" all the time but hungry alot and at the same time. def alot of heartburn and dizziness headaches and fatigue.. and just 4 days ago my nipples started hurting so bad and yesterday blue veins appeared boldy on my boobs to the nipple..and today more appeard on my chest (but not as bold) is that a good sign on pregnancy????  yesterday and today i've had wicked cramps like im about to get my period.. so (this is gross-but i need to know whats going on) i "investigated (up there)" and there was a little brownish discharge.. does this mean i could still be pregnant or am i in fact getting AF :( ?? all the tests i've taken have been negative. the last test i took was last weekend (october 30th)

any advice or similar stories (with an outcome of preg or not) would be helpful .. thanks so much!!!

Its certainly possible that you might be pregnant.  A home pregnancy test should be taken "about" 2 weeks (10 days if its a really good test) after conception.  If you conceived around the 22nd, you might not be able to detect HCG (pregnancy hormone) until about the 5th November.

Great, I would appreciate that.  The problem with pregnancy symptoms is they are just like PMS symptoms so its hard to differentiate between the two.  When you retest, use first morning urine and a good test.  I like the digital ones since they take the guess work out of it.

well today i started bleeding slightly.. i still have the cramps off and on but what im experiencing is NOTHING like my normal periods. my boobs are seriously killing me (which is also not normal for when im pms-ing) could i still be pregnant? and can i still test even if i'm bleeding a little bit??

and yes i like the digital ones too! haha i hate guessing if theres 2 lines or just one lol
