    Late and light period.am I pregnant?
    I've always had a regular period. It comes the same time, for the same amount, and is just as heavy as the one prior. Also, I work close with my best friend who receives her period's the same time/length as mine at least for the past 6 months. The last time I have received my period was on 05/26/07.

    This is why it came as a shock to me when she got her period just over two weeks ago. Since I was late, and I have been having unprotected sex, with no birth control, I took a pregnancy test this past Thursday. I didn't read the instructions that carefully, and only held the test stick under my urine for maybe 2 seconds instead of the required 5. It came back negative.

    A few more days past, and still no sign of a period. However, on Sunday I noticed very very light pink spotting when I would wipe after peeing. I thought I was starting my period, so I threw a pad on. Then, later that night, no new blood ever came. The very next day the same situation happened, I had very little blood.

    It is now Tuesday, and it's the same situation. On my lunch break at work I bought another pregnancy test. It was also negative. However, this time I believe I may have troubled with the results from using the pee from drinking a bunch of water before hand because I peed just an hour before. I read online to take the test when I pee after waking up in the morning. I was planning on doing that tomorrow.

    I am also experiencing some slight discomfort in my lower pelvic region. They don't feel like sharp period pains, but something like that.

    I am unsure if these could be signs of pregnancy, or I'm just having an irregular period, or if I had a miscarriage. Any information would be appreciated!! This seems to be a common question, but everyone's scenerio's are a bit different in the details.

    Thanks.

    It is very possible you are pregnant. But, opps you goofed again. LOL just kidding

    Take your pregnancy test first thing in the morning, with your first pee of the day. It is more accurate that way as the concentration of the pregnancy hormone is higher in the morning.

    You could possibly be pregnant so you are right on about taking your next HPT in the morning. However, you could be experiencing some irregularity; have you been under a lot of stress lately? If you were experiencing a miscarriage the bleeding would be heavier and more clotty and it is usually accompanied by pretty severe cramps. If your HPT comes out negative again, I would suggest that you see your health care provider. They will be able to do a blood pregnancy test, which is more sensitive to hcg levels, and help you figure out what is going on with your body. Good luck!

    I took the pregnancy test this morning, following the directions, and it did come back negative as well. I have been experiencing a bit more blood flow than the previous days, however it is still lighter than any period I have ever receieved.
