    Not sure if I'm pregnant?
    I started my period about 4 weeks ago but it wasn't normal from the beginning, I'm normally very heavy for 5 days and then it stops on the 6th day. I've been very light and would stop and then start spotting and that's what I have been doing for awhile. I was beginning to think I'm pregnant and I looked up the symptoms and I have several, an abnormal period, fatigue, headaches, cravings, having to pee (a lot), my breast have gotten bigger, mood swings, constipation. I've taken a pregnancy test but it can up negative? But I have talked to a few people and they have had that happen to them too but they were still pregnant. Should I go to the doctor and have them do the blood test or should wait and take another pregnancy test in the next few days?

    It is possible, but it is also possible its just irregularity. It happens to all of us once in a while. You should really wait until you are a week or two past due before testing, as your chances for a false negative. Go up before then. It is a little early to be experiencing symptoms, but it does happen. I had headaches and fatigue that clued me in this time around... but that is rare... typically symptoms start showing between 6-8 weeks.

    Its probably best to give it a couple days and then try another at home pregnancy test before spending the extra money to go to the doctor. If you come up negative again but the symptoms persist, the a blood test will be your best bet!
