Me and my hubby started to try for a 2nd kid last month. I ovulated March 15. Took the first test on Marxh 28 when I was a day late and it said not pregnant. But I have all the symptoms. I have very light cramps going on and off since the 27. I was bleeding on and off for 3 1/2 days. I Even have full boobs and the part that gets dark is getting darker every day. I even have blue blood vains on my feet legs boobs and arms. I took about 9 more test every time something new happens and all of them say not pregnant. I know I am pregnant. I think b/c me and my hubby is trying to have a 2nd kid I am looking for the symptoms that come up before you can get a + on a HPT.

My 1st pregnancy, I had a regular period & was already pregnant. It all happened in the month of Oct. 2002. Everybody around me figured I was except ME! Well by the time I went to the Dr, late Nov early Dec, I was 8wks & some days gestation. Yes you can have a regular normal period & still be already pregnant!
