early pregnancy symptoms

[kwilliams1125]

I have had some symptoms and am still confused. Dizziness, nausea with no vomitting, always sleepy, always hungry, bathroom trips have been pretty frequent. Taken 2 hpt and both came out negative. Was supposed to get my monthly this last Friday. Instead, yesterday I started spotting. Very very light. Little cramping. Nothing like a normal period. Could I be prego?

Yup I will do that. Just wait it out! Thanks everyone!

Spotting can come from things besides your period, so it's hard to say what's going on yet.

I got a positive after light bleeding that was definitely not like my period, but my bleeding happened five days BEFORE I was due, not after. Not sure exactly what's normal timing variation for decidual bleeding (any bleeding that you get that isn't your period during the first trimester). I suspect every woman's a little different though.

I agree with Stacey. If you don't get your normal period, wait a couple more days and try testing again. :-)

yes i would give it another couple of days and use first morning urine just to be sure

I was supposed to get my period on Friday so this is the 2nd day and period is a no show. And like I said, had spotting start last night and its brownish reddish in color. Not heavy at all. Not like a normal period for me. I cramp pretty bad the day before my period and I never felt any of that either. Just light cramping last night and spotting. I took a test today just to see. Wouldn't hurt anything. Used the first response with pink lines. Showed negative. Maybe I'm resting too early? Maybe wait a few days??

Got it a day after I missed my period. Last month, my period was short and not a normal heavy flow. But now, I'm spotting. Nothing heavy or anything like my normal periods. Light cramping and light spotting.

Maybe? If you're testing too early, the pregnancy hormone may not be showing up yet. Women can spot all sorts of colors in early pregnancy; it's normal and just makes life more confusing.

I can get nasty nausea and dizziness with PMS. Most women don't get morning sickness till they're about six weeks. (I've had a queasy stomach earlier than that though.)

Can you talk a little more about the timing? It sounds like you said you got the light bleeding several days after you missed your period. Has it gotten any heavier?

My spotting is brownish reddish fluid. I had my last month period early and it was only 3 out of 5 days. Should I wait a few more days and then test again?
