Hi there, congrats... sounds like you probably are pg. I would wait at least 2 days, let the hcg build up in your system and take another test, the line should get darker. If not, call your doctor asap... good luck!! :)

Ok so I got the results back and they were BFN! i asked my dr. why I feel like I'm pg then and he said he has no clue and to wait a few more weeks and see if anything changes and if not to take another Hpt and see what it says and if need be to come in and see him again. So I hope all these symptoms goes away ! Well thank you to all , I will let you now if a few weeks!Christina

Not unusual to have irregular cycles when breastfeeding. If your test is negative it probably is negative. Did you do a home test or blood test? You need a blood test to be sure, see your gyn doctor. The symptoms you are having, do you get from time to time sore nipples and cramps when you get your period? Your nipples can hurt because as you know when you breastfeeding you release oxytocin and perhaps you have some raging hormones right now. Do you have any sores on your breasts/nippples? Make sure you don't have a temperature. Want to rule out mastitis. Anyhow you sound hormonal but get the blood test and be sure. I felt nauseas and threw up when I got my period at times...hormone thing I think.

Keep up the breastfeeding! If you stop now you may regret it.

Happy New Year.

Yeah I did get a blood test.My husband is in the Us Navy so I have to go to a Navy hospital Dr.s and you just cant see a Ob/Gyn with out them sending you. I know I dont have mastitis , I had it like 5 times already since my son was born and this is my second child , I am not ready to stop breastfeeding just yet I stopped . I dont get sore nipple when I have my period . I do get cramps but its not like that .No I dont have any sores on my breast or nipples. Thanks for you input though. Christina
