Pregnant or Not help!!

[Apple_25]

Please help me :(
I am so confused and upset, on the 10th April me and my boyfriend had unprotected intercourse, we want a baby! and also again on the 11th April, on the 17th April i came on my period (which i think was) it only lasted 2 days, it usually lasts 4 to 5 days and is very heavy! This time it was watery blood and the second day brown discharge, then 2 days later i had tiny spotting! I have just done a HPT today 25th April, and it came out negative?! I am so confused because i am having pregnancy symptoms.. My periods are also irregular, could this be a sign of why Im not getting pregnant? we have been trying for a few months, nothing is happening!

I am going to the doctors tomorrow, for a blood test, but until then could you please answer my questions?
Could i still be pregnant even though i got a Negative today?
Please help!!! :(

You can still be pregnant even with a negative test. You may be experiencing impantation spotting (mine lasted 4 days and was SUPER light and usually comes around the time your period normally would, about 14 days post-conception) and your home test may not have been sensitive enough to pick up your super low hcg levels. However, in a few days, they will rise if you are pregnant. The blood test will show any hcg, so you will know regardless. Your symptoms are usually a good indicator. Of course, many women miscarry without ever realizing they were pregnant. I had one friend have a positive test, then her period came a week later. Now she thinks it was a miscarriage but just very early. Hang in there. It is what it is and you can't change that.

Hi!
I ALWAYS recommend repeating the pregnancy test.  It sounds like most of your cycles are ovulatory--usually ovulatory cycles have heavier bleeding, last longer, and are more likely to be associated with cramping and PMS.  This cycle may not have been ovulatory, and that may explain both why you are not pregnant, and also why the period was unusual.  For my patients under 30, I usually advise them not to be too concerned unless they have been trying for more than 6-12 months without luck.
Hope this helps!
