Please help! Am I pregnant?

JDLC1221 posted:
My husband and I had unprotected sex approx. 8 weeks ago right after my period. About 6 days later I had felt what I thought was implantation because I was in terrible abdomen pain (left side) and lower back pain for a good portion of an entire day. Since then we have had unprotected sex, I have had many symptoms of pregnancy and no period. I took about 5 pregnancy tests (some too soon) that were all negative, then one that was positive. Just to be sure I took another one and it came out negative again! Now I am going on 8 weeks without my period, but getting "period" or pregnancy symptoms (no vomiting yet, but nausea, fatigue, irregular bowels, tender breasts, etc.) and NO sign of my period. Could I still be pregnant and still show negative tests? Or am I just getting my hopes up? (by the way - this would be our first child so obviously I don't know what to expect). I guess I should also mention that I have never had truly regular periods and being on birth control always made me break-through bleed or have my period for extended periods of time, so hormones for me are always out of whack.

THANKS!!!!

Yes, you could be pregnant. Some tests aren't as sensitive as others, even tests in the same box. If you want to be sure, you can ask your doctor for a blood test.

After six days you wouldn't feel any types of symtoms of being preggo. Now there can pe a possibility of being pregnet cause there can be false negitives. When i was pregnet with my first child i got negitive pregnance test up till i was almost 3mths preggo. The only thing is if u have not been reg on ur periods than ur estrogen or whatever is not right so i would talk to ur doc about it becasuse there are times u can miss ur period because of stess or other things.
