I am 27 years old, and have 1 child, almost a 3 yr old. I have always had a regular cycle even after my child was born. I normally start the 20th or 2st each month, and last for about 3-4 days. In January, I started on the 12th, and went for about 4-5 days, it was pretty light in comparison to most months. I have been experiencing back pain, some fatigue (mostly at night) like I'm ready for bed before my 3 yr old! I also have had a decrease in appetite, I can sleep for about 4 hours straight then toss and turn (waking up frequently) after that, I have also been forgetful lately too, like I forget what I walked into a room for, around my belly button area I have had hard tender areas for a day or so then it goes away, I can't wear any of my pants that button because they either won't button or are too uncomfortable to wear right now. I took a HPT this morning and realized it was a faulty test. It was one that would give a vertical blue line in the test window if I am pregnant. MY test gave me 2 VERY faint horizontal lines? I bought another test box this morning on my way to work, I hope to take another in the coming days as long as my period doesn't start. I just wanted to see what anyone else may think.

Since you have not missed a period, really too early to test, Having a perod slightly early is not really a sign. But you really need to be about 14 days late to really properly test.
But try another one, and do it first thing in the morning as soon as you wake up, with first urine of the day.

** why was the other test bad ?
