    Can I be pregnant - period came 5 days late and lasted 1.5 days
    Me and hubby has been trying to conceive for the past 2 months.. my cycle are quite regular (28days) and my period usually lasts for 2.5-3 days. Its normally heavy on the first day (I use about 4 - 6 tampons) moderate on the second day( 2 -3 tampon and several panty liners) and light on the 3rd day (only panty liners)

    My last period was on the 3rd Sept and we made love on the 14th sept, 17th sept and 18th sept. And my next period is supposed to be on the 1st Oct (according to my 28dasy cycle) but it didn't. So on the 2nd oct I had a home pregnancy etst and it was negative. Tried another test on the next day morning(3rd oct) but it was still negative. Done the third test on the 4th oct in the evening still negative. On 5th Oct I had bleeding (not sure whether it is implantation or period), but I used only 2-3 tampons and the next day (6th oct) I used only 1 tampon but the bleeding was very little and on the 7th oct there wasn't any bleeding until today (9th oct)

    Symptoms- not very obvious but slight stomach pulls, slight headache.

    Can I be pregnant?

    Pregnancy is a possibility. Remember, though, to take the test using first morning urine as it is more accurate.

    It also takes most average couples up to a year or longer of actively trying before conception happens.

    It sounds as though you may have had an "off" period. All women do at least once in their lives no matter how regular we are.

    No need to get disappointed, just remember that pregnancy takes a while if you are trying. Trying to conceive can actually impede the process by releasing hormones that cause conception not to happen. For now, make sure you are eating healthy, taking prenatal vitamins, getting enough rest and avoiding unhealthy things like tobacco, drugs and/or alcohol.

    For now, enjoy the ride. Stressing will cause your period to be late or missed, or even off.
