    Am I pregnant?
    I got my period last month on the 28 but it was very unregularly. I was spotting and I will only bleed the first two days if I sat on the toilet if not I will just be spottin or nothing at all it left early. I haven't had no symptoms only very tierd and moody which it never happen before. On the 3 of this month only two days after my period left I went to the doctor an got a ppd shot for work, the doctor asked me to urinate on a cup right before I used the bathroom. There was nothing left but I drank water and squeez a little bit out. It came out negative. Was it to early?:confused: am I pregnant? Am also feeling very bloated and lots of headaches.

    • The information I decided to gave is based on the information I was reading from this website: http://womenshealth.about.com/od/pre...egsymptoms.htm

    Even though I understand your question... but for reasons... I decided to give you a little more information about pregnancy and whether you are... I do agree go to another professional... sometime mistakes happen... let’s not have a mistake made and you paid for it... make sure of all things...

    • In fact, some women know when they are pregnant based on this sign alone. The reason breasts and/ or nipples are often sore, swollen, or tender during early pregnancy is because the breasts are undergoing changes to prepare for breastfeeding. The reason for this is the increased production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone that occurs and the breasts and/ or nipples are often particularly painful during a first pregnancy.
    • Fatigue or unusual tiredness – Early pregnancy is time when a woman’s body is working very hard to keep up with the changes that occur. This means increased hormone production, as well as the fact that the heart is pumping harder and faster due to the escalation of blood flow – necessary to bring nutrients to the growing fetus. Increased progesterone production is the primary reason for the extra fatigue most pregnant women experience early in their pregnancy. Progesterone, known to cause sleepiness and a natural central nervous system depressant, is the reason this occurs. Another reason for fatigue and unusual tiredness during early pregnancy are the emotional extremes experienced often during pregnancy. It’s not uncommon for a pregnant woman to burst into tears for no apparent reason other than the hormonal fluctuations that occur during this time. This symptom is also a sign to get more sleep before your baby arrives when you’ll need your energy to care for your newborn baby.
    • My Period is Late, Am I Pregnant? – The most common reason for missing your period is pregnancy and this is often the first sign that makes you suspect pregnancy. Only a pregnancy test followed by a pelvic exam, can tell you positively whether you are pregnant. Once your health care provider rules out pregnancy as the cause of your late or missed periods, the next step is usually to rule in or out several other possible explanations for absence of menstruation or amenorrhea.
    • Light bleeding and/or cramping – The most common reason for light bleeding during early pregnancy is implantation. Implantation bleeding occurs when the fertilized egg implants itself in the uterine lining and usually occurs about 10 to 14 days after conception. Bleeding caused by implantation is very light, often the only sign you might notice that indicates implantation has occurred is a small (can be as small as a pinhead followed by no further bleeding) spot of blood left on your panties

    Spotting can be a sign of implantation bleeding, you should take a test in 1 weeks time, using the first urine you pass when you wake up in the morning.If that is negative and you still don't get your period, ask the doctor to take a pregnancy blood test.
