could i be pregnant?
by lara034, Aug 29, 2007 08:44AM
i am trying to become pregnant for several years now. Apperently nothing is wrong. I was very regular all my life, 28 days. Last month my period was late 5 days but it was very light and short. Pregnancy test negative. This month I got my period 7 days earlier. It is also light, but I feel bloated and with occasional cramping on my left side. Could I be pregnant?

Hello,
I suggest taking a home pregnancy test. Home pregnancy tests differ in their sensitivity (i.e., the ability to detect the hormone of pregnancy when it is present). The most sensitive of these are First Response Early Result and Clearblue Easy Earliest Results. The earliest either of these might detect a pregnancy would be at the time of the missed menses (generally ~two weeks after conception). If negative, repeat in one week (and/or pay a visit to your ob/gyn).
Best regards,
Dr. Downing

a girl thats so confused.
I thought I was pregnant because of swollen/sore boobs, headaches, nausia, and left side cramps in lower abdomian.
But I have my period now, but I still have symptoms and I have been reading other girls have had this too. My period is early so I'm thinking is it possible my body could be cleaning out whats in there?
And could I be pregnant??? Any advice, or opinions on this?
