Possible to be pregnant after having a (shorter, much lighter period)?

[DreamingPoet25]

Hello, all!  I'm new to the board.  My (now ex) boyfriend and I made love on 1/26 without protection, and he did pull out, though I know that is not a very effective form of BC.  Anyway, my period prior to that possible DOC was 1/12 or 1/14 (can't remember).  Since about two weeks after possible DOC, I have had faintness/dizziness, nausea (no vomiting) especially when I smoke (have been smoking for 4 years and not once has it made me want to puke), mild cramping, breast tenderness, veins in breast seem to be 'standing out' more than usual, and a strange pulling sensation when I stand up (which I assume could be ligament stretching).  I had a 'period' on 2/14.  My normal periods last for about 7 days and are very heavy.  This was very light (I cramped about the first 12 hours; normally, I cramp strongly throughout entire period), and it stopped on 2/17.  Two days after that, I had a clear discharge with some slight brown coloring in it.  My normal luteul (sp?) discharge has increased significantly, and it's going from clear to milky white, slightly thick.

I took two pregnancy tests, the last of which was on 2/19 or 2/20, both were negative.  I have an appointment in the morning for the beta hcg (blood) test, and I'm hoping that will ease my mind either way.  I was just wondering if you ladies thought that I'm faking my body out, or if there is an actual chance I am pregnant.  Only two of my friends think it sounds possible; the other ones just seem to be in denial. :)'

Thanks so much, ladies!!

PS  This would be my first child, obviously. :)

People can be so judgmental these ain't the old days where people have babies only when they are marryed and last I check ****.happens
People don't always plan to sleep together with out a condom n some don't plan on getting pregnant but that's life it happens so instead of being bored and judging someone asking for help find something better to do just saying if you got nothing nice to say u shouldn't say it at all

Reading this made me sick. My boyfriend uses the 'pull out method' as well, yes not 100% affective, but it has worked for us and NO I am not on birth control. Just because ya'll think you're some experts on the subject and apparently God's right hand man-you DO NOT have any right to judge people YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW! Yes, they're only opinions....but word them better-if you didn't want to SOUND like an ******* or a ***** then you would have worded it in such a way that @DreamingPoet didn't feel attacked. But you didn't so, case in point, you're a ***** who thinks she knows all and guess what....I don't like people like that :) and no I won't apologize for my actions...because ya'll didn't apologize for yours.

she just asked about her period not for you to get in her business and start asking questions that arent your business. thats part of the problem with ppl these day you worried about why shes not married and her ex being her ex none of that concerns you nor affects your life if your not going to answer the questions then dont post damn. THE END

i've gained weight in the last few weeks so much and so quick that i have developed stretchmarks on my sides, i thought i might be pregnant about 4-5 weeks ago and took 2 tests they both came back negative however i had my period last week and it was alot shorter and lighter than usual, usually i would have a 7 day cycle but my last period only lasted 2 days and was an unusual brown shade of colour, can anyone offer an explaination???

this has become more of an immature argument. Either answer her questions with fact, not opinion, or don't bother posting.. she didnt ask for your opinion. She asked for your fact.

what is wrong with  you Dreamingpoet; the reason she had unprotected sex when she didn't want a child is that she is not perfect!  I can think of a million times I did what I knew wasn't right because, well -- I'm human.  And frankly that is why my Lord, Jesus Christ, was born and died for me; I can't live the perfect life the way I was created to do.  I thank God for his compassion and mercy, and that he is not like us humans who so quickly judge others because its easier to do than to look at our own hearts.

God bless us.
