Need to know what to do
by WhitWhit1, Jul 25, 2008 04:41AM
Ok I'm very confused. My last period was June 25 it is now July 25. So I'm late. Sunday and Monday I had some light pink spotting and it stopped and I have never had that. Tuesday I went to the OB/GYN and took a urine test and it came back negative and I took to other test and they came back negative. I've been having some symptoms besides spotting i also have had a little cramping, feeling nauseous, and just feeling different. I usually have irregular periods but nothing like this it would have been on by now. Do you think I tested to early or what should I do?

A "typical/average" period is 28 days (from the FIRST day of bleeding until the start of the next period -- not counting the next start day) HOWEVER a normal period is anywhere from 21 to 35 days.
It has been 30 days since your last period, although you had spotting at 26 days, so I'm not clear how if your periods are irregular, that this is late for you. Please clarify what you mean.
Did you have unprotected sex since your LMP? Anytime around your fertile period?
It could be that it is too early to test, that your period was unusual this month (the spotting) or that the stress of worrying about whether you are pregnant or not is delaying it.
The best thing to do is wait a week and in the absence of your period to test again. If it is still negative, then a call to your doc for direction would be in order. If positive, then it is a different phone call to the doc.
Good luck!
