Hey it's me again...
Well, a few days before my period, I had cramping like I usually do before I get my period, but my period usually comes within a day or a couple hours after the cramping... I had mini cramps before my period for 3 days before it finally came. It was heavy like my periods normally are. I did have unprotected sex 5 days before my period, and since I had the weird mini cramps I decided to take a home pregnancy test after my period ended.. it came out negative... I am going to take another one on the 18th, two weeks since we last had sex. But do you think the test I took was accurate and legit, or do you think it was too soon to take a test? (yes I did get my period, but I know you can get your period and be pregnant)

My other question was is it more effective to pee on the stick, or pee in a cup and put the stick in?

And finally, Ever since my period ended, I have been dizzy and have had abdominal pains, not painful, just discomfort.
So what could that be?
Thank you so much!

You can bleed while pregnant, but it would not be a heavy flow and not really a period...

Its hard to say if it was accurate enough - so taking another won't hurt.

I prefer using a cup - you can time it better and have more control to be sure you do things accurately. That's just my opinion though.

Just be sure to follow directions carefully and use first-morning urine.

Dizzy & abdominal pains -could be just about anything. Heck, I get that way because of my allergies!

Right. I will... Someone else said, it seemed as if I was too late in my cycle to have a high chance of being pregnant, and that if my period didn't come, me taking that test would have been long enough to be accurate.
But, time will tell the tale! Thank you!
