What is my next step?
Always had a hard time with pregnancy due to chronic ovarian cysts. I only have my left ovary and at 36,i'm
still praying for a child. Had sex on the 29th of July unprotected. My period was a week before that. August,
my period was late about a day or two. 14 days later from the day I had sex,I bled. Very light for a day and a
half. I researched and read that it could be implantation. My lower stomach is swollen. I took a home pregnancy
test a week and a half later butbit read negative. I still am not satisfied with just this test.
What should I do as the next step?

A blood test will definitely give you a more definite answer...
If you don't get that BFP this time (and you still may!!!), you may want to consider going more high-tech-- at least doing some cycle monitoring with a Dr. or RE so they can tell you the exact time for BDing. I drove myself and my husband crazy for 2 years and found the whole process a lot more relaxing once the Dr. stepped in and was able to pinpoint the exact day of ovulation.
