Me and my Boyfriend of 2 years had sex about 2 weeks ago, I was ovulating but was unaware I was untill the day after, then after having sex about 4 days ago I started bleeing. It was very light and only lasted a few days, it wasn't becuase of the sex, and now I'm 3 days late for my period, which is usually like clockwork every 28 days. I've been craving weird things, ie green olives!, I've been extremely tired for no apparent reason and have been having strange headaches and have had slight cramping in my lower adomen and my legs and my boobs feel kinda...numb..unless poked at then they feel extremely tender/sensitive. Those symptoms have been going on for just over a week.
I took a HPT yesterday and it came out negitive, is there a chance I could still be pregnant? Did I test too early? I'm quite confused and could use some advice. Please help.

Hello,

Take an HPT in one week.  If negative you probably are not pregnant and see if your next menses comes on time.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing

Hey! I know what you are going through right now because I have been in your shoes before. The only difference is I pretty much found out the same day it clicked in my head and I had some suspicions. I know this might be hard for you but until you know what is going on, I would refrain from intercourse. Especially if you'e not pregnant right now and your period is just wacky for some other reason, it won't be as predictable and you might end up getting pregnant. Have you been stressed lately (not including your fear of being pregnant stress)? Or maybe exercising more? Both of those things can lighten your period or make it go out of wack. I would give it another few days and than take another HPT. If that comes back negative and you are still irregular, make an appt. with a gynecologist. Good Luck!!!

No, no stress at all, and I haven't exercised in years, haha. I've been through all of this before, but I had a misscarriage because I went to the doctors for a respatory infection in January, and due to the neglect of that docrot's office which I will NEVER go to again, they didn't give me an HPT even knowing I was sexually active and wasn't on any b/c. So they perscribed me antibiotic and, not knowingly to me at the time, I ended up having a miscarriage. My period was wierd untill the next one I had in Febuary. I think I must have only been about 1-2 weeks along though becuase nothing came out except clots and I obviously had NO idea that I was until it was too late.
Either way, before that I hadn't had period related problems in a long long time. And now this, I'm hoping for the best but am scared and confused.

So, I went to the free clinic and had an HPT done and it came out BFN there too! I'm so confused, and I still haven't started yet. I REALLY wish I had health insurance right now, heh. I could just go and get this all sorted out. I don't even know what to think anymore. :(
