am 23 yrs old and i believe myself to be pregnant.
the first day of my last period was July 24 and i stopped July 29th.
that night i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. then again
on July 30th, 31st, August 4th, 5th, and the 6th.
I am beginning to have the early symptoms of what i think are
pregnancy. for me, the biggest sign is the cramping. I don't know
how it's possible for me to be cramping when my period is already
over about 10 days ago. i'm strangely tired, even at work.
but my question is this:
Yesterday when the cramping started, i guess i was expecting for
myself to spot. i haven't yet. on top of that, my stomach gets so upset, almost like i want to go rush into the bathroom for morning sickness.
IS that part of it normal? i have taken a home test and it came back
neg, but that was because it was too soon. I'm not too sure on when
the proper time is for doing another home test, every one says wait
about 2 weeks or so. any takers on this one any advice or help will
be greatly appreciated.

This is the wrong board for this question. Try the Could I be Pregnant board. This board is for women who are already pregnant.

Period-like cramping is common and normal in early pregnancy. All the symptoms you describe could be pregnancy symptoms. When did you take the test? Since you're already late, try another test.
