Ok so I had a period the last week in Jan. it only lasted 3 day and was very very light (very unusual). It is now march 8th and i still have not had a period. I took tow test on the 1st both said neg. I have had some cramping but it goes aways, lower back pain, some nausea but i havn't gotten sick, and crazy mood swings! I just up and cry over something so small. I evern sometime feel this pressure in the lower abdomen. it's weird. i have no insurance! with my first some i didn't find out i was pregnant until almost 5 months bc all test came back neg. could i be pregnant and if so, how far alog do you think i may be. I'm gonna schedule a blood test if i don't see any thing in a few weeks bc i don't want a repeat with my son.
Thanks

No i'm not brest feeding. My
No i'm not brest feeding. My son is now 4. I think i'm going to wait til like the 17 th and try another at home pregnancy test. Me and my boyfriend said that if that shows neg we will just wait and if by april 1st i still havn't started then we will schedule a blood test. I just don't want to end up like last time and find out all in one day that i'm almost 5 months along and it's a boy!! lol Yeah i'm kinda confussed with the period thing. My last NORMAL one was Dec 26th, the one in January was only three days and very light. So i don't know which one i should go by. I guess i will need to make sure the doctor knows all this. And if it turns out i'm not pregnant i definalty need to figure out what wrong.
If you had unprotected sex -
If you had unprotected sex - yup, you could be pregnant! My experience with EPT was it always came up negative until my second period was due. But that's me,
Are you breast feeding? When a breast-fed baby gets old enough for first foods you may start your cycles, but as first attempts at solids may not make much difference in his nutritional needs as he enters a growth spurt, he may kick up the time spent nursing and cause periods to be irregular or hit and miss. Without knowing a little more I don't think I could be much more accurate than your HPT. BTW lots of women get very gassy with PMS...
If your period was "off" in late January - could you have conceived in early January? or was your schedule just out of whack from busy - stressful holidays? Lets do this; we'll use 1/27 for LMP and a 28 day cycle; since you didn't say and we'll chart on either side in case late January was implantation bleeding
LMP 1/27 (28 day cycle)
PDC 2/10 (Possible Date of Ovulation)
PDD 2/23 (period due date 1/27 + 28 days)
3/10 = 6 weeks by LMP & 4 weeks post conception.
_________________________________________________
LMP 12/31 (1/27- 28)
PDC 1/14 (Ovulation/Conception)
PDD 1/27 LMP est.
3/10 = 10 weeks by LMP+8 weeks post conception
Have you had your thyroid checked since the birth of your son? Hypo-thyroid (low thyroid) can cause your periods to cease and many of your symptoms.
Could i be pregnant and if so
