    Pregnancy Symptoms but Period Started?
    In May around the time I was ovulating, my boyfriend and I had sex, then in June, I had my period which was a bit heavy and slightly painful. This month, my period was three days late, when it started it was a very bright pink that was hardly noticeable. The bright pink lasted two and a half days and then became a period. Usually my periods are a bit heavy at times then lighten up. They never start as very light. This period has been light to moderate and only had cramping once. Since June, I have had symptoms of pregnancy: Nausea, even when riding in a car I felt sick and that doesn't happen at all. Also fatigue, a bit of a higher body temperature, cravings, insomnia, increase in saliva, extreme mood swings that go from being angry to crying, very sensitive and sore breasts, blue veins, a few bumps on the nipples, foot cramp at night, and headaches. My boyfriend and I are trying to have a baby, but with this period we lose hope. More on my background in case it can affect it, I had my son back in 2014 and was on depo provera for a year and a half. And I can't make it to a doctor until August and did two pregnancy tests back in June after that weird period ended and read negative.
    Any answers will be great, thank you so much 😊

    Since you say ovulating.. were you keeping a basal temp chart, or taken medical tests to find out when you actually ovulate? Phone apps are worthless as ovulation is NOT universal with women at a specific point in their period.

    Also the Internet "symptoms" can always be many other things as well. They aren't exclusive to pregnancy individually OR in combination.

    If you took a home pregnancy test.. it has to be taken at the right time of day. And that is ONLY right after you wake up from your nights sleep the first time you pee... or you have to wait until the next day. Otherwise a false negative is much more likely.

    Those test should be at least 2 weeks AFTER your period was due...too early and you might have a false negative.
