am i pregnant

im 20 years old , my last period was feb 7 and i never got one this month. i experienced alot of morning sickness a few weeks after my period, i feel bloated constantly and sluggish and blah. my lower back aches i have on again off again headaches and my chest is off and on sore. also i know even the healthiest women can be late and such with their period but i NEVER have with the exception of being pregnant with my son which was almost exactly 2 years ago that i found that out. i took alot of pregnancy tests and got a positive 3 negatives and yesterday again a positive but today another negative. i kept taking more tests because when i was pregnant with my son i never got one positive test, i found out i was pregnant by ultasound. so anyways im hoping i am pregnant since i got my first positive and if im not im going to be very disappointed. anyone got some thoughts or advice? oh also the most important part the end of feb. i experienced some spotting a brownish discharge it wasnt much but it lasted almost a week.. i did go to the doctor and he asked me to bring him a sample of what it was and he says it deff. was not my period.. so im extremly confused

I think you both need to go back to the doctor and get blood tests and complete physical.

I think the best thing for you to do would be to go to the doctor and request a beta HCG blood test (which is what they detect pregnancy with.) sometimes it is harder to detect pregnancy through the urine until you are further along. with the blood work they look for a specific level of hormone so it is easier to give you the yes or no answer you are looking for. it takes one day for the doctor to get the results back so the process is fairly quick.

The answer to this question is: Not usually after being only 5 days late. Five days is not really considered late in the medical field because there are other things such as many different stressors that can cause even the most regular woman to be late. Hcg only shows up in the blood at 1 week of gestation at a level of 5 - 50mlU/ml. So many times that still goes missed.

Try taking another test using first morning urine in another week, if that still shows negative you need to make a doctor's appointment to find out exactly what is going on.

I know it is hard to wait (I have been there 4 times), but unfortunately all of pregnancy is just a waiting game, isn't it?
